500w. 2 x 12v rails, dont know the amps...

that is some funny stuff right there... i returned a video card that my brother ruined by messing with components while computer was running...over a year later. i love newegg. oh, and did i mention that the video card was a refurbished card to begin with? yeah, they are great...

i believe that they meant 'silicone' fluid. it is used as a lubricant, kind of like hydraulic fluid, which is also non conductive...

i like Israel's approach to these type of problems. using the most effort possible while being as secretive as possible. i would say just assassinate the leader, but as in the case of Hercules and the hydra, two heads will just grow back...or more. i personally enjoyed my time in iraq. but then...

screw all that. the best game is geometry wars!

the p5w dh has special features that allow it to turn on by remote. for this to work it has to power on after a power loss. also the sleep settings(s-1 thru s-5) might be what you have set wrong. if it is in anything but s-5(totally shutdown) it will be able to wake very quickly by means of...

well, i have crappy pqi ddr2 667 with a stock vdimm of 2.00 volts. i turn that up to 2.2v and i can run stable at 800mhz. but now i run it at 730mhz with tighter timings... my e6400 was at 3.2ghz and ram was at 800mhz. i double stick taped a old cpu fan to the top of my dimms. its real quiet...

the temps of my house have more effect on my computer temps than anything i do to it.

yes the gpu setting part works with you vid card.

i think dual core is nice in the respect that you can minimize a game, mess with another program, then restore the game with no trouble at all. i could never do this "easily" on a single core no matter what speed it was running... like bf2 and teamspeak is a good example.

or wait for the 8600s...

it depends if you are using vista or xp. vista will only let you use the "control panel" thing with no overclock settings. in xp you have an option to use the classic side bar thing and it does have overclock settings. another way around this is to download nvidia ntune and it will allow gpu...

or go into the shortcut for it under properties and look at the "target" line in the window. at the end of the string put a single space and then type this "+szx 1440 +szy 900" (no quotes of course). it should work if the config file does not do it.

so they can sell you a new one...

what if i go the other way? both to 7800gt's? it would be much faster than a single 7900gt for sure...
