    Whoa!! So this is what I was missing..

    I have no interest in water cooling. The only thing I would like to do is maybe overclock the CPU when I play games. Let's be realistic... I upgraded from a AIW9600. I even have 2gb Cruical Ballistix still in the box.

    Whoa!! So this is what I was missing..

    The fan definately isn't annoying.... I can't hear it over the stock AMD 3800 fan in my p150 case when it is slow. When it kicks in I just notice a slight change in volume. I had to move my office to the sitting area off my bedroom to create a nursery for my son. Otherwise I wouldn't...

    Whoa!! So this is what I was missing..

    What can I say I am at a loss for words. I ran 3d mark 05 before and after, 2000 vs 9995. I have a ASRock Dual Sata MB so I have both cards running on it so I can watch TV, but that isn't working right now. I did it with another video card so I am sure I can get it to work again...

    First Review of X1950XTX

    I have the conclusion, in case someone wants it. Just when we had thought that the battle for high-end graphics supremacy has reached an unofficial ceasefire with NVIDIA seemingly winning over the enthusiasts with both performance (the 'SLI-in-a-card' GeForce 7950 GX2) and mostly better...

    How do All in Wonder Cards work with Digital Cable

    I meant what I said. The preview said it would be released in Aug with Vista. But I should have been clearer in my message. I don't know if the item is still going to be release in Q3 or if they will delay with Vista. I think they made it sound as if Vista was a requirement. Which this...

    Anyone get a Dell 2007FP recently. Screen type?

    The one I have at work is a Samsung. I got it about 2 weeks ago. I think it looks great but I can only compare it to some older screens and the 2001fp I have at home. I will check the 2007fp I have at home too. That one is 3 weeks old, but looks the same.

    How do All in Wonder Cards work with Digital Cable

    I have an AIW and it works like a cable ready TV from the 80's. Any digital features or chanels are not going to work. You can hook up a cable box to the the card and that will work. Of course you can FF and RW so maybe it is better to say it works like a first gen TIVO. A while back I saw...

    Conroe in Stock..

    For fun I checked Techdata, a wholesaler, for the E6600. They part they have is BX80557e6600 at my price of 332.74. No retail price listed. I normally am about 10% off of retail becuase I sell so little. The earliest ETA date they have is 8/27. I am guessing Intel raised the price a...

    New Dell 2007WFP owner with a couple of questions

    I have a 2001fp and just got a 2007fp to sit next to it. The 2007fp is much brighter and I had to turn it down a ton just to have it somewhat match to 2001fp. I just used the monitor's adjustments. I haven't hunted down dead pixels. I know on the 2001fp I have a couple. It was alarming...

    Spontaneous rebooting problem, THINK it's related to new AIW 9800 Pro

    I had the same issue with a AIW 9600 Pro. I did everything that you have done or was suggested to you and couldn't find a solution. I even tried a better case and power supply. I finally just gave up and bought a new MB and processor and rebuilt the box. No problems since. Do you have a...
