    SVC has the Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer on sale

    I thought it was $21.99 about a month ago. I bought it at 29.99 when SVC said they had a limited supply, but now I notice that it just says they have it in stock. It was a good product for 30 bucks, but it's a fantastic deal now.

The problem is rather intermittant- it just started while I was typing this out, and my computer has...

    Please suggest cooling for 9600 Pro

    Hey guys, the fan on my Sapphire Atlantis 9600 Pro is driving me nuts. It will alternate between sounding normal and emitting a higher pitched whine (like the fan speeding up?). It seems to switch between the two every ten seconds or so. I'm looking to replace it with something quieter, maybe...

    XP home SP1 won't let me change/remove certain things

    I'm trying to update the drivers for my Radeon 9600 Pro from Catalyst 3.7 to the latest Omega drivers. The Omega website states that I should remove the ATI control panel before installing, so as to not create a conflict. However, when I try to remove it under the control panel, I get a popup...
