Hey all, Anyone seen any manufacturers display thin mini-itx boards? Hoping to grab one with a z68 chipset and have a little custom case building fun. Anyways, if anyone sees a manufacturer announce one, please post it here. Thanks! George

Anyone else having troubles with resolution in Vista? When I try to put it above the default 640x480 it takes a while, shows a screen for half a second then reverts back. Im running a 8800gts on Vista 64 with 163.69. Thanks, George EDIT: Fixed, for some reason it was taking so long to load...

Im planning to convert my PC to a hybrid HTPC, and I would like to scale all of my media to my projectors native resolution (1280x1024, or 720p for widescreen material). I know how to use FFDShow and MPC, so Im not worried about DVDs, but I have no experience with TV or other input. For SDTV I...

Title says it all. So far what I have gathered: Audigy 4= better DAC (same as x-fi elite pro), better recording support and performance. X-Fi Platinum = newer tech, faster(some say this helps with SQ), slightly better for games, probably slightly better interface. About the same price now...

I am planning to use one computer as both an HTPC and my personal computer at the same time, since I am a student and cant afford 2 PCs. My question is: Is it fairly straight foreward to run Media center on the secondary monitor while using the primary monitor? I dont turn my computer off...

I have a 17" lcd that I am doing some modifications to, and would like to turn it into a permenant 1280x720 monitor. (will show completed modifcations this winter in Display section). It is an LG, and I cant seem to find a way to display inputted pixels 1:1. For example, when I set my PC to...

I have noticed that an increasing number of LCD monitors are finally doing the glossy coating, which I have really liked since I first saw it on laptops screens a year or two ago. My question is, do any of the 37-42 inch screens have the coating? I have my eye on the Westy, but havent seen...

I just heard from the HTGuys (the radioshow on AVSForums.com) that Sony has decided that if you have analog outputs you will still be able to watch HDCP "protected" content in full glory (full resolution). Good to hear, and I think there is a component --> VGA device, so those of us with PC...

Ive been following the releases of these two consoles on and off, and am going to build a HTPC at the end of this year, and (maybe) put one of these consoles on top of it. The thing is that I will be getting a bunch of emulators and PC games on the HTPC, and it would be sweet if the...

So I would like to set up a custom 5.1 surround sound setup, with some high quality speakers. (maybe Polk?). I have read that basically no digital output from PC soundcards support 5.1 sound. (because they dont have Dolby Digital Live). So my question is how do people generally hook up...

I just built my brother a computer, but we dont have a case. How do you boot without the connections to case? Thanks

Just thought I would get it out there, see what people who know what they are talking about have to say about it. Anandtech Avivo Preview

Will these two be compatable? There is also Fusion software, but Sage seems to be more well known. Im new to HTPCs and TV in general. It says that it supports analog recording as well, so I assume I would just plug in my Shaw cable (in canada), and I could get the basic channels as well as...

Somehow, with rig in sig, I seem to have enabled a fps display for all 3d apps, as well as video stream, both of wich are extremely annoying. Especially in WoW, where it is glitching my game out a bit. Basically its big block numbers in the upper right hand corner of the screen, and in 3d...

I just got a 2005fpw, and my rig I built this past winter, and I would like to get one of these two games for the summer, and maybe into next school year, depending how much I feel like slacking off, :p I would like to hear which game people like better, or if you have only played on of...

I would like to hear opinions from people who have tried both about which they like more, and maybe a few specific examples of games that were good and games that were bad. Please dont turn this into a argument, just simply give an opinion, if someone else has a different one, let them feel...

I was hoping we could get a sticky for winchester oc data, or at least have people post winchester data in this thread. Its pretty tedious going though all the newcastles to find a winchester. Also, if you post, please post manufacturing week. it will be 044**P*W I am pretty sure. Thanks

It is similar to the one that is available now at atacom, and it doesnt look good for enthusiasts. Bummer. Review

Its kind of a bummer that this game came out at the same time as HL2, so it has been completely shadowed by it. It would'nt be a bummer if the game was weak, but its AWESOME. My roomate has it, and I have been sitting and watching it all day. It isnt as thoroughly and cleanly done as HL2, as...

I was wondering if there is a silencer that works with the x700 series now, or if there will be one coming out, as I would like to clock my x700 pro to xt speeds, and would feel safer about it using silencer, as the stock coolers are pretty weak. Thanks

I would like to have a sticky or just a post in which if anyone finds places with available NForce 4 boards, they share them here. I dont think I am the only one waiting for these suckers to come out. Thanks, Mr Jorge

I was wondering if anyone knew performance of this RAM on socket 939. I already ordered it so I'm hoping for the best. Haha, leap before you look as they say. But I got a gig for 168 shipped so I'm not complaining.

I was wondering if RAM says its optomized for Intel, will it not work as well on amd?? Or is it just a marketing thing. Thanks

How much of a performance hit would I take with 3:2 ratio rather than a 1:1 on a A64. I am planning to get a 3000+ 90nm and try and reach 300x9, so I am debating if its worth it to get nice TCCD ram or just get some regular stuff for 100 bucks cheaper. I only care about the speeds for...

I have been told that increasing voltage on a cpu is what causes the lifetime to dwindle. I am wondering if the same holds true for video cards, and if overclocking without increasing voltage will decrease life. I want a card that will perform at its best and last for a while.

Sorry, didnt see the other post....
