Tried 4 or 5 demo versions of a few programs tonight and kinda frustrated. Basically I want a good updated program that supports both of my CPUs for encoding and burn DVDS. I used Puma Video Converter to change the encoding on a large .AVI file and it work great, both cores @ 100%, very very...

So if you have seen many different LCDs, which one has the best blacks for dark games? I would really like to get info from Image Quality Nazis that have tried and returned multiple LCDs. I don't want that to sound rude but in my experience with LCDs, most people will give you absolutely...

So say you buy a large LCD with 1920x native res or 1680x1050 native res. Can you use a lower widescreen res like 1440x900 to increase perfromance or will it look like crap? Have a week and a half to return this LCD for a full refund if I like, debating getting a larger screen, but I don't...

I went to Best Buy tonight and they had the monitor, but had just run out of stock :( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=5MVKJQJLYYNH5KC4D3EVAFQ?skuId=7907777&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01013&id=1149206843492 Anyone have a lot of experience with this LCD compared to...

Ok my step-dad went out and bought a BFG 6600 OC to put in his compaq. It has a 300 watt power supply with 15 a on the 12 volt rail. So I realize that this might not be good enough for this card but he has already bought it and all. So he is running the card with a clean power cord with no...

I have tried it in just about ever EAX enabled game, the worst offender has to be in Thief : Deadly Shadows. I was playing with all the EAX options enabled on the Shalebridge Cradle level. That level probably has the most atmospheric and emersive sound environment of any game I have played...

Thinking about going silent, I already have a Zalman heatsink and arctic silencer installed. My temps are fine with most of my case fans off but I can still hear the power supply just fine. I have been looking at the PC Power and Cooling Silent line and the 12 volt looks great. I was just...

The card came today :) I couldn't figure out why the external box wouldn't work then I realized you needed to hook up a power connector just like with a video card. :P I have been busy so I have been playing with the card all of an hour. Well first thing. I wanted some sort of verification...

I have looked at the 5500/5700 and some ATIs but having a hard time finding benchmarks and such. I don't want to start and ATI/Nvidia thing but I just wanna know which one is best. I have used both companies so I don't care either way. Any suggestions are welcome, Thanks :) I visited my...

EDIT : Nevermind I used WinAVI Video Converter and it was a painless proccess, only took 30 minutes total including burning the DVD :) Title says it all. I have a 700 meg AVI, I have a 16x burner. I have only done this one time but it was like a year ago and I just don't remember what I used...

What I mean by that is I am a music lover but I am also a gamer, games are one of my main hobbies and have been for years, and I imagine there are more people like that here then @ headfi. Ok being a big music fan recently I decided to try and improve the sound quality of my computer as much...

Well my stepfather has been using a GeForce 4 MX 420 PCI on a Duron 1ghz for the past few years and just today he got a new Sempron(sp) 3000+ system and he wants to upgrade his video to a mid range AGP card. I don't really keep up on the budget cards much so I am not sure what I get. I used...

Well the ViewSonic G810 Graphics Proffessional finally died on me. Was made in 1997. I am on a 17" SyncMaster 763 Magic Bright. This thing is .20 pitch and honestly it has a better picture than the ViewSonic did. However I am just dying for more space. So now I need a new one, Samsung has...

Yeeeeeesssssssss!!!!!!1

Heya. The deck in my car plays MP3 cds which is very cool, but I have been annoyed lately with the lack of functionality on burning programs. My deck likes just the plain mp3s on the cd, no other files or it gets upset. Now what I like to do is make my playlist in winamp, then save the...

Well I decided to install SP2 since I read the A64 problems aren't anything show stopping. So I download it via windows update, let it install, and when windows boots it gets past all the boot screens, then it loads the mouse cursor on a black screen and HD access stops dead and doesn't it...

Ok if someone could do me a favor and tell me in detail how to set up an email server on a WinXP box with a cable modem. Just the fastest easiest way possible step by step, would really help. Thanks :)

Well I put my new NV5 Silencer with Arctic Silver hoping for higher clock and lower temps. I am running a PNY 6800 GT, bios flashed to 1.4 volts, running at 370/1050(was waiting for higher till Silencer was installed). Temps with stock 6800 GT heatsink were 51c at idle, would go up to 75c...

My NV5 Silencer just came today, I was just about to start taking this card apart when I realized I have never modded the heatsink on a video card and I can't really afford to drop 400$ on a new card if I kill this one. Anyone else who has done this before to a 6800? So to take the ram...

Now I know someone may be tempted to say "order AS5 and use that" but I am not placing another order just for better grease. I have been using the same little bottle of AC2 for years, it is currently running this A64 [email protected] just fine. That said, is the included thermal compound better than...

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-220-006&depa=1 After searching around for a few days I couldn't find better given the price. PDP Systems, Comparable memory from Corsair will run you $280, I have mine running in my A64 3200+ [email protected], 2.5 volts, totally stable...

I see there are like 50 PS listed in the sticky thread, question though, says the Fortron 530W will "outperform" most high end PS, but then someone told me that it is "Weak in the 12v" is this true? If so what should I get? So many to pick from, by "Weak in the 12v" does that mean the A @ 12...

I am currently running a Swiftech 462A for my Athlon XP, is the new Swifttech for the A64 still the best? I have read about the Turbo 6 or whatever it is called that has snapped off of the motherboard before, so I am warry of that one. Fan recommendations are appreciated too, I never want...
