    Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX Specifications released!

    I've been waiting three years for this card. I always wanted an nVidia card to have the same name as an ATI card.

    XM Outages Continue For Second Day

    For those not in the know, O&A invited a bum up into the studio (they do this fairly frequently) and the bum decided to say that he would forcefully engage intercourse with Condi Rice, Laura Bush and Queen Elizabeth. Anthony then did impesinations of a woman being violated. They apologized for...

    XM Outages Continue For Second Day

    I think this is Karma because of Opie and Anthony's "suspension". If XM advertises no holds barred limitless free speech and Suspends O&A, meanwhile letting other stations say unlimited racial slurs against whites, then they are outright liars and deserve to lose even more subscriptions.

    Are you satisfied with your PS3 purchase?

    The same thing was said about Beta-Max. All the support in the world won't help if no one buys your product. Personally, I think that both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray will go the way of the dodo for movies. But if I had to pick an HiDef movie format FTW, I'd pick HD-DVD. But in terms of use as a storage...

    Are you satisfied with your PS3 purchase?

    Found a 20 gig at Circuit City. Then went to Target and picked up Resistance: Fall of Man. Personally I find the "buttons" on the system gimmicky. It uses the same tech as those toy chicks that chirp. You know two pieces of metal, you put your finger on them to complete the circuit and boom...

    Any bad Opty165's left out there?!?

    I have the EVGA SLI board. I thought it sucked too, when my Opteron 175 wouldnt OC, but popped in my 165 and it hit 2.7ghz w/o a hitch.

    Microsoft Zune WiFi

    The PSP does the online stuff, half-assed, but it does it. Then again it also does MP3s...half-assed. And movies...also half-assed. Oh, don't forget games....also, well you get it.

    Switch from Opteron 175 to X2 4200+

    I had the same issue! I got the EVGA NF41 board free with a 7800 GT (which was quickly stepped up to a 7900 GT). With it I got an Opteron 175 with hopes that the higher multiplyer would give me more head room for OCing. Instead I found it freaking difficult to OC it. The Highest I could get to...

    Video card choice for an Opty rig

    I got my Opteron 165 up to 2.7 ghz, and have a Geforce 7900 GT. But personally the Radeon X1900XT 256mb for between $250-$280. Nice card. If I could have waited, I would of gotten the Radeon. In your shoes, I would wait to see if nVidia puts out an 8600 GT or 8800 GS, I heard that they are...

    SLI 7600GT & 7600GS?

    Since only one of the cards memory is used, could you flash the GS to a GT. Then use the Real GT as the main card and have the Fake GT (previously a GS) as the secondary. That would negate using the slower DDR2 Ram, and instead use the fast GDDR3 from the GT. I know that GS chips are good for...

    Okay Help Me Decide 7900GT or X1900GT

    Knowing what I know now, I'd save a bit more and just get the X1900XT or settle for the X1900GT. My 7900GT has crapped out twice and I think its doing it again. (after exiting a game my system hangs on a black screen with my mouse cursor, I could move the cursor but windows desktop never...

    Switch from Opteron 175 to X2 4200+

    I have an Opteron 175 that stubornly does 2.4 ghz. I was hoping to get it up to at least 2.6 when I got it, but the first core keeps craping out in SP2004 after 5 minutes. It is solid at 2.4 ghz, but disheartening cuz I spent $550 on the processor, when I coulda gotten a 165 or 3800+ for less...

    Best AGP card, nVidia or ATI, doesn't matter

    I really think this is the best AGP card out. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130036 I have the PCI-e version and OC'd it gave my 6800gt a run for it's money.

    OT: Newegg won't load with firefox?

    Clean out your history, and clear out your cookies, and clean out the cache in firefox. That did it for me. Oh, and pick up a new video card, like an XFX 7600 GS or somthing.

    ***Calling All Budget PCI-e Owners***

    I love EVGA (my 7900GT is an EVGA) but the best GDDR2 7600GS if the XFX one, stock OC to 500mhz Core and 900mhz memory.

    Need Help

    I'm growing tired of my current position at my job. I know that I could pass the certification tests needed (A+, Network+, etc) but I looked like crazy on Google and couldn't find anything. Anyone here can help me find out how I could take the test without taking a pointless class?

    best sub $150 card for WoW?

    I got a 7600GS for my HTPC, runs Quake 4 at 1280x1024 like butter, almost as well as my 7900GT. If it could run Quake 4 well, it should do WoW perfectly.

    X850XTPE vs 7600GT

    I hear where your coming from. I recently had to replace my motherboard in my HTPC, so I got an nForce4 and with it an XFX Geforce 7600 GS-Extreme Edition (500core/900memory) and I fired up a bunch of games (CoD2 and Quake 4) Ran like butter at 1280x1024. Just like my Evga 7900 GT CO. Very VERY...

    Performance boost from x800PRO to 7900GT?

    I went from a 6800GT to a 7800GT and saw a signifigant difference. I thought it was a good jump for me. Consider that the X800Pro is slower then the 6800GT and the 7900GT is faster then the 7800GT, I think your jump will be quite noticible.

    Anybody gone water with an Antec P180?

    That is my Idle temp, highest Ive seen it has been 44C while running Sims 2, Prime and Burning a CD. I agree it may be a little off, but Its gotta be better then the one on the craptastic EVGA board which according to reviews is completely off. I have the sensor right up against the CPU so it...

    Anybody gone water with an Antec P180?

    I used a Kingwin Water cooling system, it doesnt take up a HDD bay but it eats two 5.25" bays. Works very well keeps my Opteron 175 at 37.3 c (I just checked it with the included LCD temp monitor) Not bad for a little over $100.

    Which Sempron 754???

    I love my Sempron 2600+. I OC'ed it to 2Ghz (Biostar MoBo's FSB wont go over 250mhz) and it runs really cool. Coupled it with a Radeon X700 with GDDR2 which overclocked to Pro speeds. Made a very good media PC.

    LanParty nF3 250 + 3400 Newcastle = no OC?

    I have the same issue, I think thats the issue with the old 754 (newcastles). They havent made newcastles faster then 2.4 ghz, I got mine to 2.6(stable) and 2.7 (a tad bumpy) but decided to keep it at 2.4 as I really didnt need the OC.

    What do you guys think my processor is equal too?

    My main system's 3400+ is running at 2.6 Ghz (200 mhz OC) and is plenty fast. Unfortunatly with the 7800 GTX only on PCI-Express 16x as you all know. I've been concidering getting a San Diego 3700+ with a PCI-Exp. mobo and OC'ing it to 2.4 ghz basically equaling an FX-53/4000+ and getting a 7800...
