    HOT: Crucial M4 128GB - $90 shipped @ buy.com; WARM: $100 shipped @ newegg

    Thanks for the deal. I have one of these in my work computer and it works like a charm. I'm in for 1, finally replacing my Vertex 3. Maybe I'll actually be able to put my computer to sleep.

    Who uses an unusual kb/m config?

    Same here. If I need to, I change the in game settings to match what's on my N52. That way everything I do is the same in every game. I use razor mouse though, like the flat feel of it. Had to exchange my mouse at work for a razor as well, things were just to slow on the stock dell one they gave us.

    Q6600 to 2500K for BF3?

    Yep yep, I'm well beyond that point. Was still having issues until I found some evidence leading to my post. Anyways, it's OT at this point.

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    Installed one last night too. Didn't have any issues. The processor was normal from what I remember. I don't think there are pins for the internal speaker. I didn't even see one in the box. Haven't used Dr. Debug. One thing I noticed as others have said, it's not really full ATX and the...

    i5 vs i7 Sandy? 2500 vs 2600

    Either way you go, get the K!

    ASRock Extreme3 Gen3 Problem (or a memory problem maybe)

    Before you do anything make sure your power connections are secure. The 24 pin-ATX supply being on the edge of the board is more difficult then usual because of the middle of the board doesn't have a screw to be connected to an ATX case on the right side of the board. Hope that makes sense. But...

    Q6600 to 2500K for BF3?

    I've been messing around with sleeping on Z68 and P67 systems. Seems like unless you make sure that you either leave an application open and sleep it or wait a minute or two after closing an application, sleep can cause BSOD. Firefox seems to take a minute to shutdown and if I sleep it too...

    [Newegg] OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD @170 after MIR

    Been trying to get mine to work since July. GL to anyone who buys.

    OCZ Solid 3 120GB 2.5IN SATA3 SandForce SF-2281 @ NCIX - $135 - $20 rebate = $114

    Yeah... the new firmware ain't all that. Makes the Urethra idea even more tantalizing. When 2.15 came out, I did secure erase, cleared cmos (battery out for 1/2 a day), reinstalled windows... it doesn't go 24hrs without crashing. If FW was stable, then the deal would be descent.

    SandForce Identifies Firmware Bug Causing BSOD Issue, Fix Available Today

    FW's progressively got worse for me. I'm on 2.15 now and haven't notice anything yet but it's only been 1 day. 2.13 was 2-5 BSOD's/day at least sometimes more. It was unusable. I'm going into this FW as the notes seem to speak directly to the issues I was seeing.

    [MMO] World of Tanks

    I'm about to unlock the IS-7 too. Don't know if I'm going to buy it either... probably going to run up the German heavy line. I hear the T29 is the best tank for the US line and I have that already and thinking of maybe taking it up to T32. But I don't know if I want to chase the American line...

    [MMO] World of Tanks

    I wrecked 2 59's with my T54, both were at 100% I ended up ~35%. They were discent players too, just bounced too many shots and missed me a few times. I didn't miss a single shot and nailed a soft spot on all but 1 shot. I'm willing to bet that I was the only with stabilizer, vents and...
