    New driver pins windows and taskbar to individual monitors in NVSurround? Whaaaat???

    This might be the best unmentioned feature of my upgrade to 680s... This new driver locks the taskbar to only one monitor instead of spanning all 3 monitors when running NVSurround. Why has no one mentioned this? Also, now when I pin a window to the top of a monitor it only fills that...

    FS: 2 Sapphire 7970s!! My fail is your win.

    Selling my 2 Sapphire HD7970s. I guess I'm just an Nvidia-for-life guy. Tried switching to the red team and did not like it. So, here's the deal, I'm selling them for $560 each, shipped. Let me know if you want 1 or both of them. This is cheaper than you will get them for at Newegg. You...

    PSP 2000 stolen, thinking of replacing with PSPGo...

    I left my PSP in the rental car after having tucked it under the seat. When I realized this and went back to get it, it had mysteriously vanished. Oh well, I only have myself to blame for that as anything valuable you leave in a rental is never going to be seen again... But anyway, the only...

    Life expectancy of 360 refurb?

    I'm sending my 360 Pro in for repair tomorrow. It was a Christmas gift and lasted about 7 months. It wasn't purchased with an in-store warranty, but as I said, it was a gift so I can't complain. My question is, how long do the refurbs usually last?

    The Dark Spire, new dungeon crawler for DS from Atlus

    http://www.atlus.com/darkspire/ I stumbled across this new dungeon crawler RPG while looking at a random Gamestop ad. I like the art style of it. If it's anything like the Etrian Odyssey series it'll be a very limited release, but great fun for us hard core, old-school RPG lovers. I like...

    Western Digital doesn't support 64bit OS

    I really expect more from a technology company like Western Digital that has been making hard drives and related equipment for decades. They need to hire some people that actually know what they're doing. When recently attempting to submit an RMA for my Raptor X hard drive, I found that the...

    E8400, my OC results seem a bit... gimp

    I've got the system listed in my sig running my new E8400. I replaced a Q6600 G0 that ran at 3.2GHz hoping for much higher clock speeds since most of my time is spent playing games that only utilize 2 cores max. The E8400 is currently running at 3.8GHz (9x423) on my Abit IP35 Pro...

    Strange 158.19 driver issue in XP

    For some reason when I install the 158.19 drivers in XP SP2 my Manage 3D settings in the Nvidia Control Panel is giving me SLI options when it shouldn't be... I don't have SLI. Now, I'd be willing to just ignore it, but when playing World of Warcraft, it hitches and studders horribly just...

    What's a good replacement for the Klipsch ProMedia 5.1s?

    I love my Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 speakers, but lately I've been having problems with the amp acting up and causing the speakers to squeal. I feel I've gotten my money's worth out of them after 5+ years of heavy use and was going to upgrade, but then, to my horror, I realized Klipsch doesn't make...
