    All Barcelona Shipments Halted

    You can't point to that $371 million figure and say that AMD can survive for years and years. Net income for those nine months was negative 1.6 billion including a $464 million hit to AR and $974 million D&A. AR can't go down forever, eventually those losses will come from cash. What is paid out...

    So have you been wondering how well the Geforce 8800 GT overclocks ?

    What's a good aftermarket cooler for the 8800GT?

    So who had their 8800GT overnighted?

    NewEgg UPS Ground = same as overnight when you live in Los Angeles, should be here in a couple of hours. Too bad about the CA sales tax!!

    Help! 7800GTX Stays Clocked at 2D Speeds even in 3D Games

    I have an EVGA 7800 GTX + 3 GHz Core 2 Duo + 2 GB memory. After a clean install of Vista I ran 3dmark06 and found that my scores were very low, around 3100. Then I looked closer and realized that my card was staying clocked at 275 / 1300 at all times (the 2d speed setting for the card). This is...

    7800GTX Overheating - 106C under load!!

    Thanks for the suggestion, I will take the card out today and dust it off + check everything out. Funny thing is the card wasn't overheating at all two years ago... now I check the temp and it's running like an oven!!

    7800GTX Overheating - 106C under load!!

    I just started playing games on my PC again, and I noticed artifacts and screwed up rendering in games like Bioshock. Also 3dmark06 was crashing on my with direct 3d errors. So I installed ntune to check the temperature of my GPU... 76C idle, 106C under load (right after crash)!!! What could...

    If you upgrade your video card a lot your out of luck

    I was going to buy the game after work today... the widescreen bug and this DRM crap is making me reconsider.

    5400 RPM v. 7200 RPM

    Depends on the drive, some 5400 drives are quick and some 7200 drives are dogs. See www.storagereview.com benchmarks. Hitachi Travelstar 7K200 is the pwnage.

    3.4C fan bigger than 2.4C???

    ok after further review it seems my problem was the power supply, 3.4C + 6800 LE = one sad 350W power supply :( Cooling may have been a problem, but I was able to boot to windows with my 9800 Pro + 3.4C, not with my 6800 + 3.4C though. I'll be sure to order some arctic silver along with the...

    3.4C fan bigger than 2.4C???

    3.4C fan bigger than 2.4C???

    Hello, I had a P4 2.4C and I just bought an OEM 3.4C, but it looks like my Retail 2.4C fan isn't doing the job. I can't get the processor to stay stable at stock speed, and even when I UNDERCLOCK the processor down to like 2.2MHz I'm still pushing 70C when I run Prime95. Question: Are 3.4C...

    Eh what the hell...UPDATED WITH CARD IN COMPUTER

    Ok I've been playing around with my 325/700 stock clocked card, and here's what I've found: 1) GT bios doesn't work. I get no monitor sync at all. I guess the mem timings are too agressive... 2) Ultra bios works fine, I tried it at 400/1100 @ 1.5v, but after a few hours of 3dmark + gaming...

    Eh what the hell...UPDATED WITH CARD IN COMPUTER

    Heh yeah, but 700MHz mem = crap. I ran 3dmark2005 with the card out of the box and I scored just over 3100, flashed and OC'd to ultra and I got 4866... you'd have to be stupid to leave it at the 700MHz mem ;) BTW, ZZF's site says these cards run at 1100 mem... so I guess we could return the...

    Eh what the hell...UPDATED WITH CARD IN COMPUTER

    Got my card and it's working well!! Out of the box my card was clocked at 325/700... kind of strange. Now it's doing 401/1100 no problems!!!!! ULTRA SPEED!!!!!!!!!! One question: I'm flashed to the ultra bios off the CD. Is the GT bios better?? I'm scoring 4688 on 3dmark2005 with my P4...
