Are the eVGA 7600/7900 GT KO Superclocked line of video cards fairly low-noise out of the retail box? I'm trying to piece together this information from reviews but it's not so easy. But it appears they are significantly quieter than other makes of this model video card, except for passive, of...

It comes with a 430-watt power supply and the normal goodies, like front ports and lots of bays. And it's available from Amazon for about $100, shipped free. But I can't find any reviews on it. Has anyone used it, or can anyone offer any insight about it? Thakns.

Anyone know of a free utility that does this? Or maybe it's a function built-into something commonly used, like Microsoft Word? Thanks.

Wow! Totally awesome. Thanks for the quick reply.

I've written a technical document using Microsoft Word. I'd like to have it translated from English into Spanish. Does anyone know of a good service that does that? Thanks.

I have an ABIT KT7A motherboard that won't boot properly (gets a registery error) unless I let it sit first to warm-up in the BIOS menu. This is a "bad cap" motherboard, so I should have that fixed, and that may well fix this boot problem, too. Is badcaps.net a good place to have this repair...

I like the 754-pin for price/performance. Assuming the MSI K8N Neo Platinum is no longer available, what's a similar alternative? Thanks.

One of the drivers in the nForce Unified Driver is the NVIDIA Audio Driver. If I leave this driver checked when I install the nForce Unified Driver then the install includes a step where it says "Please wait while Microsoft audio components are installed...". But after the nForce Unified...

I have this DVD RW drive but it won't read some CD's. I'm talking about retail produce CD's, namely the GoBack 4.0 and Planetside Core Combat CD's. Other CD's it has read just fine, such as Battlefield Vietname Redux. Has anyone else seen this problem, or did I just get a bad one? Thanks.

Is there a reference somewhere that gives an idea of how much processor is about right for a video card? I know this can vary depending on the RAM and such, so I would expect it to be an approximation. Thanks.

You know, I think the reason my score did not improve is because I'm GPU bound. I'll try it again with a really low resolution, like 640x400. But I'd still appreciate input on what the settings should be. Thanks.

What are the proper BIOS settings for the MSI K8N Neo Platinum motherboard with an Athlon 3400+ processor on it? Here is what I see in the BIOS: The top of the screen says "Current CPU Clock 2412 MHz" and "Current DDR Clock 200 MHz". The settings are: High Performance Mode - Manual...

What is some of the better free software?

Sony comes with Nero. Plextor comes with Roxio. NEC comes with...nothing? Correct me if I'm wrong. Which is best? Are they all about the same?

The difference seems to be that the A verison uses the Fan Mate 1 and the B version uses the Fan Mate 2. But what's that all about? Is one version discontinued? Thanks.
