Of all the web sites I frequent, HardOCP is still my first read EVERYDAY. And after having trouble trouble joining a league on GameFaqs, I thought I might inquire about starting my own here. Some of my thoughts... 1) While I've played various baseball games over the years, I'm not hardcore...

1) What would you do if you won an AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition CPU? I'd use it to search for the girl of my dreams. At 36, with the last girl informing me after 1 date that she wasn't looking for a boyfriend, pickins are getting slim and the situation grave. Hopefully the power of...

Final followup to my issue. Once again, let me thank all who posted. Times when your having trouble with PC's can be stressful, and it's great to have a community to come to that... 1) Knows their stuff 2) Is willing to help 3) Sympathizes, because they've been there :) In the...

First off all, my humble congrats to the OP. Amazing story. Then I did deeper and find many folks like myself. Into computers and the challenge they present. I actually have a BFG 7800GTX on my shelf. It's been there since I upgraded to a 8800GTX and Vista about 3 weeks ago. I had...

Well, I'm in. Just got my 8800GTX about a month ago, and have used a 2nd Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive (first is on the 360, ironically enough!) with PowerDVD with great success for months. But I have Blu-Ray movies as well, so something like this holds GREAT appeal!!! :) Truth be told, I'm still...

Well I'm having more trouble with the 8800GTX. I was trying to get Nero installed earlier, but it seems many versions aren't Vista compatible. In order to get SOMETHING working, I downloaded Nero Lite 7.10 and got that running. But it seems I got a virus in the process. And while running a...

Good evening to all. First of all, thank you, each of you, for replying. It's moments like these a person really needs help, and I can't thank you enough for that. As to my issues... I believe they may have been threefold. In order... 1) It turns out there was a power problem in my...

Greetings all. BFG 7800GTX user that decided after 2+ years it was time to reimage his primary PC. So I took it outside, blew out all the parts with canned air, removed the old video card and hard drive (250GB Seagate SATA), replaced them with the new parts (PNY 8800GTX and a 500GB SATA...

I wish I could be as eloquent as my friend, Mr. Tango here... but I can't. Because this whole thing... it... it FUCKING SUCKS! If this bastards spent half as much time worrying about policing drugs instead of video games... he could have saved some lives by now. Asshole...

Greetings all. I pre-ordered Halo 2 at EB about 2 weeks ago, and I'm getting anxious for the PC release. I've been doing some reloading on my computers lately, and I decided rather than reimage my primary computer (the one found in my sig), it would be easier to reimage the Dell laptop I used...

Okay, to explain my issue... I have a Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive, and software loaded to watch movies. But my video card and LCD aren't HDCP compliant. So I switched from using DVI, back to VGA. The movies look great, and the resolution is fine at 1920x1200 for the most part... EXCEPT at boot...

Don't think so. USB Adapters for the system are STILL a big mystery. Personally, I want one that lets me use my Tekken 5 arcade stick with Virtua Fighter 5. Supposely, there are a few 3rd party adapters that do this, but the only place to buy them is Ebay with little or no information about...

I own the Westinghouse LCD TV and I can honestly say it's AMAZING for the price. Not as good as the 40" Samsung with Cablecard my buddy bought... but for the $1050 I paid, I have an EXCELLENT quality 1080p set I'm using with an HD Comcast Tuner, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii. Everything looks sharp...

Well, since I don't care to overanalyze why the demo is flawed, I'd love to try it on my 7800GTX and see how it looks. That said, with the problems folks are seeing on the 8800 with framerate, doesn't sound like it's possible without decreasing the resolution of the demo. At which point, it...

Okay... turns out I'd read most of the thread before, so I don't have too much else to add. I'll mention that I have 2 Driving Force Pro wheels for PC/PS2/PS3, and I hope to break one out this weekend and try it with GTHD. I've unlocked 3 cars giving me 4 in the "time trial" mode so far, and...

Okay... threadcrap on!!! More powerful? Are you freakin nuts? They added motion controllers, and the ability to play older games. They made it about as much "more powerful" as a 2006 Accord is vs a 2007. (That ain't really much, for those playing along at home.) My only grip about the...

I can't see any jaggies on my 1080p LCD with HDMI cable. Damn graphics are priceless! :D

As long as you don't have the alt. motherboard, no. Just the O and X buttons being flip-flopped for enter/back. And obviously the import PSP will only play Region 2 movies... but I've still never bought a PSP UMD Movie, just converted my DVD's to play on the system.

You the man. Thanks for the straight up answer. :D

Long time PSP tweaker here. Had my black system on launch, and later got a white system that I expected to update and play "new" games on... leaving the black at 1.5. Well, when the downgrader came out I was thrilled. Suddenly I had two systems to play wirelessly with, etc. But then the...

Okay... another newb type post. :) I bought Tekken 5 with the joystick for my PS3. Is there any way to use the stick with the new game? Do I need an adapter? Anyone done it and know what adapter to use? Any assistance is appreciated!

Okay... so I'll be the dork who asks. :) I heard this was a Japanese demo, so I didn't expect it to be available for US PS3 users. I take it from the talk and the pics, it IS available for us after all?

Almost bought the Silencer 750 Quad myself yesterday. The reason I didn't? Wanted black, and Power and Cooling were sold out till Jan. 12th. PS was for my primary rig, who's PS gave up the ghost Christmas Day, so waiting that long wasn't an option. Given my current rig, the 750 was *way*...

Okay, props to HardOCP, the inquiring minds that post here with helpful and positive information, and myself for reading it all. ;) My big question is power. My power supply died in my Apple G5 case on Christmas Day. Knowing I have a DFI LanParty MB, AMD 4400+ X2 CPU, 2GB Crucial RAM...

Okay, I'll throw in my $.02. :D I purchased the limited edition "Tomb Raider" Shuttle that was made in Germany only from an online web site. I waited till the PC was marked down, and only a few were left from the manufacturer. But I still had to pay $100+ for shipping, and the SN45G cost...

Thanks for the posts guys! I was REALLY tempted to go with the P&C for the first time, and hopefully be future proof. What I mean by that is while I thought I might eventually do SLI with my 7800GTX, the graphics cards improved too quickly... and SLI just hasn't been necessary. I'd MUCH...

My DFI Nforce MB, Athlon X2 4400+ CPU, BFG 7800GTX 256MB Video Card, and so forth had a setback Christmas Day. I tried to boot and no dice. I've traced it to the PS, so I'm looking to buy a new one. Read in the DFI MB thread, and was considering the Corsair unit. At about $130 from...

but I'm a lasy bastard. ;) So does this 3-key unit effectively allow you to show "video" on a key? Would be kinda cool to have several different flicks playing on a keyboard. ;)

First of all, thanks to ALL of the above for their replies!!! :cool: I have continued the search on my own, and contacted my local Cisco Vendor Rep for his assistance. The device name I will share is the Cisco ASA 5505. This device is being released in Sept., has all the features of a...

Greetings all. Been playing with computers since I was young. Interests in Wing Commander and Star Wars: Tie Fighter lead to upgrading RAM. Thereafter it was printers, Novell Netware 3.1x, and the first Windows Office products. Later, it was building my own systems, taking MCSE courses, and...

Well, I haven't had NEAR the luck of the rest of you. I started with the Xbox 360 demo. Then I got it for the PC so I could play at night while working on the road. Finally, I got the new versions for PC and Xbox 360. BUT... I went to play with a friend and her brother. She has been...

Greetings all. First off, I hope this is an ok topic. I'm not trying to break licensing agreements, steal illegal software, or otherwise upset the entire internet community. But this all started while at Costco Home today... let me explain. One of my favorite games ever made is Peter...

Greetings all. I'm definately late to the party, but I thought I'd throw in my .02. ;) I bought my first Apple product about 2 years ago. I got a "used" 12" Apple PowerBook laptop with 768MB Ram, SuperDrive, 40GB HD, Bluetooth and Airport Express. It had a ding on one corner, and the...

When I got the 7800GTX, it was because Dell had the BFG for $479 shipped while newegg had it for $619. It seemed a no-brainer purchase and has served me well... I heard recently the 7900GT is quite the performer. Nearly as good as a 7900GTX, at a much lower cost. Sounds great to me, but if...

So did no one ever come up with a decent DVI KVM for this sort of thing? I'm currently using my Xbox 360 on the VGA connector, and my primary rig with a 7800GTX on the DVI connector. My thought was to add my Apple PowerBook and other computers to the DVI connector using a KVM. I could...

Greetings all. Just a quick update as I'm out updating my video drivers for the first time since I got my laptop. I had trouble finding the right video driver till I read this thread, and now I seem to be good to go. There is a newer driver than the 83.90. It's 84.something, and I'm giving...

Just read the review on this, and it was ok but didn't tell much about motherboards it would work with, etc. THIS PAGE shows the heatsink mounted on my DFI SLI-DR motherboard. I believe what the reviewer is trying to say is if you rotate the unit "90" degrees, it would block the SATA Raid...

SUCCESS! Well, no real surprise, but the memory is only listed as "Apple Ram" on the Kingston web site... so I was a LITTLE nervous as I went to put it in. ;) But I'm happy to report I'm running a 1GB stick with a 256MB stick and the system does appear a LITTLE faster. ;) Kingston is...
