    New GTX 560ti, no improvement from 8800GT *solved*

    I did not run any hard numbers, but it The Witcher ran significantly better on thr 560ti than the 8800gt. Ran everything maxed and the game was silky smooth. guess Aion might be a terribly optimized game. Didnt think it would be that bad. I am off to try some other gmes. Will report back with...

    New GTX 560ti, no improvement from 8800GT *solved*

    I have double checked all wiring, power supply is good. gpu-z reports nothing weird. This is completely baffling.

    New GTX 560ti, no improvement from 8800GT *solved*

    Before i overclock i would like to get to the bottom of the framerate issues. This card should be able to at least double the framerates of the 8800gt. that is what every benchmark out there has painted for me. I am using a seasonic 620w power supply, both pci-e connectors are seated properly...

    OS X Lion is Slow

    If ou are trolling, good show. If you are actually serious with your statements, i suggest you run some tests on your computer. 15-25 seconds to open a file is not normal behavior for 10.7

    Intel 320 safe to use on a Pro?

    There are quite a few threads on Macrumors and 123macmini that deal with SSD performance on the intel 320. I do not have any direct links (i will have to search for some) however this is also from my own direct experience, as i have installed an intel 320 drive on a Mac Pro, as well as a macbook...

    Mac mini help

    The only problem you will have with getting the low end mini as opposed to the Server version is the dual hard drives. While each model of Mini allows two hard drives to be placed in the unit, only the server version has two by default, and the other versions do not have the mounting equipment...

    Intel 320 safe to use on a Pro?

    GC for Intel drives will function without user intervention on OSX, these drives also function well with TRIM on OS X. Starting with 10.6.8 and 10.7, OS X Has TRIM support for SSD Drives, but it is only native for their own Branded drives. There is a patch to enable TRIM for any SSD which...

    Intel 320 safe to use on a Pro?

    TRIM and Garbage collection are different things. Just about every modern SSD on the market will have its own internal garbage collection. Apple usually limits TRIM support in their OS to their own branded drives. There are patchs to enable TRIM on any ssd though, however this can also conflict...

    So what is it with Apple products?

    There are cheap routers and good routers. The airport extreme routers are very solid products. However i also got extremely good performance from an old wrt54g using tomato. The main reason i got an airport extreme was i got it for free from work. Not one single problem with it. But buy...

    New PS3 160GB, no blue light?

    Your PS3 is not defective. The newer ps3 systems do not have the blue LED indicator light. I have no idea why Sony removed it. But your system is fine.

    Is Chrome better than Firefox on a Mac?

    I use a mixture of Safari and Chrome. For me, it depends on which one annoys me the least for that day. I do get some lag/beachballing with Safari, but on my machine it does seem a bit more stable than Chrome.
