Hey guys, I'm looking for a game to push my new 8800GTX with, and show me what I payed $650 for. Trouble is, I haven't kept track of games at all, been studying in university. Now it's break! Anything that has more bells and whistles than FEAR?

This new turbocache/hypermemory fad has made the once simple process of finding out how much dedicated video memory you have quite convoluted. I have a mobile X1400, and I know that there are 128mb and 256mb (dedicated) variants. DXDiag and control center report 512mb, which is the available...

So i just got a new ThinkPad T60 and was thrown to the red side (had been an nVidia guy before.) I'm not used to solving stupid little issues with the Catalyst drivers as I am with the nVidia counterpart, so I need your help: I need the blasted system tray menu to remain in the tray! I click...

So I'm going to university in but 3 months, and needed a laptop. Research and hear-say pointed me to IBM (or Lenovo, as you wish.) I liked the reliability, sturdyness, and practicality. So I opted for: Lenovo Thinpad T60: Intel Core Duo [email protected], 1GB DDR2@667mhz, 128MB ATI X1400 Mobility...

It occured to me... Apple's laptops have always been superior in quality to any PC laptop. Now, with the advent of Boot Camp, quite a few enthousiast PC consumers are well tempted to buy a MacBook. I know, because I faced the same decision, and decided against it because of the single-button...

I doubt there will be many of you who could answer my questions about this laptop... but I'm about to buy it for my freshman university year. Reasons for buying it: -Perfect balance of performance and battery life... 2ghz core duo + 2gb ram and x1400 = some gaming possibility (enough for...

go to http://www.origamiproject.com/ and VIEW SOURCE!:

The new capacity sells for $150 now, filling in a strangely obscure gap in their lineup. Now you can buy a 1gb shuffle for $100, shell out $50 more for a color screen and many more features, or another $50 for twice the capacity, or yet another $50 for four gigs. I think it's a wise move...

I know there was something like this for Doom3 when it came out; people managed to compile the 3 cd's to one DVD and alter the installer to work off of one DVD, not prompting for "Insert next CD." I was wondering, do any of you know or have you come accross some source which explains how to...

I remember a few months ago getting giddy and excited about the proposed new look of HardOCP, with the four main sections like Gaming, Enterprise and all (I don't quite remember the details.) What's the forecast on that? Haven't heard any news about it, so I'm just wondering if it's still scheduled.

Well, I think that's it. After nearly 4 years of battling this thing out of the valley of the shadow of death, my 2G 10 gig ipod has went drummerboy on me. I've had a fair share of *tap tap... CLEAR! zap* with this poor thing, and even when it gave me the frowny ipod icon (a step [H]arder...

Does anyone know the voltage at which BFG's 6800u with Water Block runs at? I know it operates 470mhz core and 1.1ghz memory, so I think its mem voltage remains the same as the air-cooled version. I've slapped the same exact waterblock on my BFG 6800u yet I can't OC it much past 450mhz, so I...

A mere ignorance on Tiff coding and now we can downgrade firmware 2.0 to 1.5. I gotta say, A+ for all those hackers.

K, sorry if it's a repost I hear things like doug lombardi saying Are they serrious about this? As in next july, next year? I wanna see this goddamn thing! Anyone know any different information?

I read about these guys a while back. Apparently they've achieved this: http://atomchip.com/_wsn/page4.html A laptop with a 6.8ghz quantumn-optical CPU with quantumn storage of 2tb of HD and 1TB of RAM? I am remaining strictly skeptical. The pics on their sight look very sketchy...

Need this quick, building a comp for an order: The aim is a mid-range capable comp, looking at s939 3000+. Potentially overclockable. I have no time to do research, so please, someone reccomend: pretty sure NewCastle is out of the question... about Winnies and Venices, i'm not sure...

Guys, This neighbor of mine needs a new GPU to run her little kid's lego game. Problem is, it needs PS1.1 ... I'm in russia, and my cheapest option is a GeForce4 MX-4000 does it support PS 1.1??? or should I step it up to a 5200?

I'm quite a noob to more artsy shooting than point-and-shoot candids. So please forgive me for posing questions that may seem stupid. New D70s here, and I wanna play around a bit. I want an effect kinda like this: perhaps on a city scape, where I would set the camera on a tripod and get...

In the blue corner, we have: Firmware 1.0 and 1.5, armed to the teeth with the ability to run Homebrew apps including emulators, VMU's and ISO loaders! In the red corner, we have: Sony's firmware 2.0, bound to eliminate any advantages of version 1.0 and 1.5! But it comes with: A legit web...

Well, finally hopped up from point-and-shoot pocket tweeters to what is arguably a "Real Camera." So after months of hounding this D70s and comparing it to others, e.g. the Digital Rebel... I decided to go for the Nikon out of just personal preference. Well, it's here, along with the stock...

K, short and sweet. I have a BFG 6800u AGP. They say you need a 480watt PSU. I have a thermaltake 420. K, I know this is sub-par, and the nVidia drivers notify me of this. However, I've tried hooking up the card to its own dedicated 250watt power supply, jumped with a paper-clip. And...

The inevitable happened quickly. Everywhere on legitimate websites, loaders for games are floating around, and ISO's of the original games are accessible on the "Underground". This is a more serrious threat to sony than piracy on consoles, IMO. Consoles need actual mod chips to run...

Who's happy with this? Lets hear your thoughts. Personally I am quite disappointed...

To anyone that has had luck with WinXP64... I downloaded MS's 6-month trial of WinXP64 and installed it on a second partition of my SATA RAID array, using Via RAID drivers for WinXP64. All installation went fine, all files copied over to partition, and the WinXP64 bootscreen loads...

Is there any registry entry that I could modify to make nVidia Sentinel utility not load? The Sentinel utility is the thing that tells you if the card is not getting enough power, overheats, etc. Just a curiosity, it would be great if you guys could put in your 2 cents.

Guys, I just got this beast... BFG 6800 Ultra OC I have a 420w power supply, powering my system with 4 hard drives... The driver tells me there is not enough power for the graphics card. Okay, so now I connected the graphics card to an ENTIRELY SEPERATE power supply, 350watts... so my comp...

About to get 6800u here... I have a thermaltake PurePower 420w PSU powering: AMD64 3200+ 2x optical drives 4x hard drives Koolance Exos Looking to overclock the card as well... Am I in barney?

I ordered one, now I'm waiting for it to come in.. and now I realize I might have trouble fitting it into my case. My GeForce3 comes quite close to my hard drives, and I need to know how long (e.g. from case slot plate to molex connectors) is the BFG 6800ultra AGP? it would truly suck if my HD...

6800gt or 6800ultra Buying in the next 3 hours... no time to do research... Which brand, e.g. BFG, eVGA, PNY... FAST PLEASE!

I am looking to change my motherboard/cpu soon, and I know from past experience that simply switching mobo's and booting up won't really work with dear WinXP. I learned that the hard way. So what I need help with are the appropriate steps to take in preparing WinXP for a mobo switch... e.g...

Logitech and Microsoft both have their bluetooth deals... I was wondering, do they work within BIOS, before any drivers load? They connect through USB...

I've been wondering... I've got a k8t800 pro NB which is passively cooled... and i'm thinking if another $40 waterblock would actually improve anything. Even when I'm running with upped HTT and NB voltage, the heatsink on the chipset is only warm to the touch. If I do put a waterblock on it, I'm...

SisSoft sandra doesn't like me, and I need to test my drives... Looking for a utility that checks read/write speeds, seek times, etc. Can someone gimmie a quick name for a proggie? Prefferably free? Thanks, Merry Xmas

Hello, I need to know the search parameter to explorer.exe in WinXP. Similar to when you click the start menu and select "Search". I'm thinking there's a way to launch explorer.exe with the run command and an attribute, e.g. Run > explorer.exe /search or something like that, so it...

Well, I plan my X-mas present to be a pair of SATA hard drives... I want to RAID them and use them as my system drives. However, I really do not want to reinstall Windows and all the other things I have on my PATA system drive now. Can someone suggest a method of migrating all the...

With the dual-core hype and announcements just around the corner, I'm getting pretty anxious... You guys think AMD will have s939 Dual Core CPU's by any chance? Or will there be a whole new chipset revision, socket, and standards involved??
