    Is my PSU suffering?

    Been a long time since I last overclocked and recently caught the bug again because my cousin just got into it and I've been helping him out. Got an old Asus Rampage Formula and a Q9550. Running 450x8.5 with Vcore setting 1.375 (Vdroop underload and it holds steady 1.30). Graphics card is a...

    Sick of DFI - which Asus to get?

    Nobody's mentioned ABIT AN8(-SLI); how come? I'm just curious as to why; is there something awry with ABIT's AN8 series that I should know about? -Ed

    PM notifications by e-mail?!?

    Okay, I've been part of these forums since 1999, and I still haven't figured out of there's a notification-by-e-mail function for PMs. A little help here? :o

    NEC DP2070sb CRT or DEll 2001fp LCD

    I don't particularly recommend Matrox cards to anyone unless they do absolutely ZERO gaming on that particular machine--Matrox's cards hardly support Direct3D 8, let alone 9 properly, and even the OpenGL support seems gimpy (Doom3 on Parhelia shows artifacts unique unto it). You're partially...

    NEC DP2070sb CRT or DEll 2001fp LCD

    That's a really nice GF4 you got, pal! I wish my Visiontek Xtasy GF4Ti4200 was that good back when I had it. :frown: The PNY Verto GF3Ti200 I had before that was even worse!!! While the XFX 6800GT I have now is better than both of those, I don't think it's as good as my ATi 9500 or 9800 were...

    NEC DP2070sb CRT or DEll 2001fp LCD

    Well that means two things: A) your GF4 is one of the ones with better quality filtering and B) your eyes aren't overstraining to deal with the slight blurring. For all we know your card doesn't blur nearly as badly as RaNDoM's, so it doesn't have to deal with it so much, plus your brain may...

    NEC DP2070sb CRT or DEll 2001fp LCD

    RaNDoM, 1600x1200 @ 85Hz is extremely difficult for the mass majority of graphics adapters and onboard video engines on the market to reproduce razor sharp. Whether you realize it or not, the text is being blurred, and your eyes are straining in an attempt to fix it, because your mind is...

    NEC DP2070sb CRT or DEll 2001fp LCD

    Good evening, RaNDoM MAI... I am currently running an NEC MultiSync FE1250+, the forefather of the DP2070SB. While my monitor does not have the new model's SuperBright mode, the tube is the very same 22" Diamondtron NF, and I must say that I absolutely adore this monitor! The DP2070SB, being...

    *Now DEAD* ATI x800 XT PE for $434.95 shipped @ Gateway

    Same here, pal... I ordered 6/3. On 6/7, my order will have shipped on 6/10. The ironic part? It was scheduled to ship 6/5. What does this mean? Their system, on the 7th, when I checked the online status page, told me that the order was scheduled to ship two days earlier, but it has...

    *Now DEAD* ATI x800 XT PE for $434.95 shipped @ Gateway

    I will point out one last time that: A) Gateway is 100% at fault for stating that they had the cards in stock when they never did B) Gateway outright charged many people for these cards, even though they've yet to ship a single one. Their own policy is not to charge unless and item is...

    *Now DEAD* ATI x800 XT PE for $434.95 shipped @ Gateway

    Yeah I actually found this thread quite amusing all along; the constant Gateway-bashing and reducing of their ResellerRating to 1.04 really put a smile on my face. I got burned as well and I was lucky that cancelling my order with Gateway early one turned out to be the right move. On the other...

    *Now DEAD* ATI x800 XT PE for $434.95 shipped @ Gateway

    Whoa whoa whoa... That would imply not even having a 16-pipe part on the market (with the exception of that strange Pro VIVO) anymore! I seriously doubt that ATi would really settle for this and just give up. Well, this makes me much happier that I cancelled my order with CDW. :)
