Thanks for the links! I'll probably keep the 430 in there until I upgrade. I'm a sucker for DX11 shinies. :)

Yeah I hear ya, just wanted to see what options I had.

Thanks for that info. Yeah, I haven't really been paying attention to hardware the past few years. It does do well and since I have a 17" monitor, 1024 w/a bit of AA does the job well enough. And the 430 was free...

I get that mixed up because GTS used to mean "flagship". Or so I thought. All i know is I was aiming for upper midrange when I bought it.

Ok. Thanks for the replies! You'd be surprised at the 430 though. My 8800 couldn't run STALKER or the newest AVP on highest settings, but the 430 can. And yeah, I just wanted to see what was possible. If I were to buy a new video card, I'd want a whole new system too. :)

I have an MSI nforce6 SLI mobo, and a Galaxy GT 430 and 8800 Gt 320 evga. Is it possible to have one card run Physx and the other card do graphics? I was thinking even though the 430 is slower, it's Dx11 capable, so I'd use that for the graphics, and use the horsepower of the 8800 for PhysX...

Happy holidays! :cool:

I have a wired Wacom tablet, and a variety of other wired devices that I use, and don't want to replace. That being said, our 42" HDTV is about 9 feet away, and none of the cables reach that far. So for right now, the big HTPC is halfway between the couch and the TV. Is there equipment...

My computer is wirelessly connected to our network. I have internet. I can ping other computers on the network. I cannot share files, or see other computers through windows explorer. I click on "workgroup computers" and the computer just gives me a blank look as if to say: "Why are you...

The link is broken, no text, blank menu. You tease me [H]! ;P

eVGA recommends at least a 300watt for the card, so it appears I've got 120 watts, wiggle room. But there are my other components, Audigy 2 and 2 hard drives...and aftermarket cooler? Will the 420 cut it?

Are all SATA 2 drives these days including NCQ? Does NCQ really make a diff in speed? I'm eyeing all manner of Seagate drives, and some mention NCQ and some don't...but they're all SATA 2's it looks like...

I didn't hear Intel was cutting prices. Hmmm, back to Newegg...Yeah, definitely spring for the mid/low end 8000 series. Wee!

Yeah I saw the article and I'll probably wait. Thanks for the feedback guys, you're right. I play games but I don't need 1920x++++ resolutions at full graphics so...Non SLI, I'll check around.

My current setup is A642800 Geforce 2 Biostar shittastick NF3 mobo. SB Audigy 2 Platinum ZS 512 MB Ram I'm going for a setup that can handle: Non-linear editing, 3d applications, 2d applications (PS!), and Adobe After Effects...a lot better than what it's doing right now. (poop) With...

Sasami2k will also do this desktop background playback, but it's becoming more outdated with each passing year. Definitely use VLC.

I've had this problem with my system, and only when using my ATI 1600XT card. It's just idling and then the monitor loses signal as if it was going into sleep mode...except it won't wake UP! My only fix is to hit the restart button the computer. I tried reinstalling the drivers, uninstalling...

Need a A64 2800 socket 754 mobo that utilizes AGP, and is compatible with PC3200 Any brand. This is a stopgap solution until I become EMPLOYED. ;)

BUMP

My specs are 2800 A64 on a Chaintech VNF3-250 mobo with 512 MB Corsair Value RAM and a 1600XT 256 Radeon helped out by a SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum all of which is powered by a new Antec TruePower 420W In recent news, I received an IRQL-LessThan NOT equal yadayada STOP error...

I can use my computer for internet, some winamp, and instant messaging. When I try and render video, motion graphics/editing, play games, or do anything "heavy" my screen freezes after a while, requiring a hard restart. Sometimes it's even come up GARBLED; the colors reverse themselves with...

So I want to upgrade my Beta 2 vista install with the sparkling new RC1 Vista. It says it can't do that from boot, but it must run setup from within windows. Ok. Fine. I'm in Vista Beta 2 right now, and the thing refuses to run the setup file on the DVD. A process called "setup.exe" is...

Indeed, I'm keeping close tabs on this one. The one thing I hope that gets improved is ATI's integration into the windows platform. I hate that stupid Catalyst Control Center because it takes forever to load and do anything with, and I don't want a tray icon running in the background either...

Deus Ex 1 Oblivion Half Life 2 Descent: Freespace 2 Earthbound

A cool weather event that happens here only once or twice a year. Full version can be found here:

I have a mobo that supports SATA 150, but there are tons of drives coming out with a listing that says Sata 3.0gb/s. Can I still buy those kinds of drives and just run them at 150 until I upgrade my mobo?

Well, this is off topic but I'd go witha 9600 for her comp.

I can't hear anything but to change this go into Sounds under the Control Panel, and select "No Sound" for minimizng and moving windows.

I don't have a meter to measure the PS stuff, and I can't even see the BIOS or any kind of startup screen. The sucker is blank and has no beeps. I can't hear whether the harddrives are spinning up because the damn cpu fan is so loud, so I put my hand on the drives themselves. I'll try...

So my buddy just started up is computer, and his USB ports don't work, the screen doesn't show POST or Windows it's completely blank. The mobo speaker is plugged in, but no beep sounds when starting up. The mobo power indicator light is on, as well as the built in ethernet adapter light, but...

There should be a little box in the timeline next to your layer that when you check, adds a keyframe. Alternatively, you can just move the timeline scrubber to whenever, then change the property of what you want to animate. It will automatically add a keyframe to that position. AE is very...

I'm interested in the dualies so that I can run all my video editing/motion graphics software faster, AND play games if I want to. With all of the dual-core driver support that's appearing on the horizon, a faster core would be a quick fix, but ultimately wouldn't last for me. Just hearing...

Has anybody used this suite of software? I'm interested in getting this but it's so fargin' expensive I'm wondering if anybody knows a site that sells good discount software/OEM versions that are heckuva lot cheaper.

I can only get it to run at 1024!

There may be a setting for audio offsetting somewhere in your options. If it's there try tweaking the numbers/seconds for a better match.

Fully updated and install. Thing just creates a bunch of CLI processes and never loads the screen. I'll try via the Tray tools

wut if CCC dun load? :)

Playing @ 1024x768 w/HDR, full textures, 1 shadow at a time, and full settings otherwise. It's playable, stays around the 24fps area with a few drops. However, when characters come onscreen (read: guards) there's a very noticeable drop because of their detailed armor I'm guessing...

What he said. It corresponds to the sound thing other folks have been saying. Of course you need to have the patience to stick around in the mini-game for a good minute at times in order to properly test each tumbler and wait for the right "slow drop" tumbler.

So I just bought this agp stopgap solution til I go upgrade crazy this summer. It's the Radeon X1600Pro, and I wanted to see how much better Half Life 2 would do/look/could be. There's just one underlying issue that I've always had with this game and finally wanted to ask you guys. I have a...
