OK, my old desky that I built in 2005 died a month or two ago, and I am tired of using my laptop for everything... I haven't posted on these forums in years, hopefully someone will bring me up to date... 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing...

I'm not familiar with the notebooks on the markets these days. I'm looking for something for myself, I wonder if any of you can help me find something in the following criteria: 1. 64 bit processor 2. decent ability to carry daily 3. video card, something better than Intel Integrated 4...

I put some AS5 on it and it still idles at 63C.

My CPU and case temps are normal, I get 82C load on my video card. Case goes no higher than 33C load, and CPU no higher than 42C load. I checked the Nvidia temperature feature in the drivers and the threshhold by default is set at 115C! Maybe the card is just a hot performer like you said it is.

My 7600GT says it runs at 67C idle. Is this too hot, and is there an error possibly? I don't know why the card would run this hot, I have 3 fans in my case. Even adding a fourth brings it down to 64C (and it is too loud with the fourth).

Well, my card finally decided to start giving me problems. I guess that was what that clicking noise from my case was. It runs, but bluescreens on Windows load and before they showed up, incorrectly rendered textures I could see occasionally in BF2 and DOD:S (you couldn't notice them that...

Lol I got a better system for 60 bucks at a school auction. Dell Optiplex 667 P3 Coppermine 192 MB Ram (I then upped to 384) 10 GB ATA-100 7200RPM HD i810e Dell Mobo 15 inch CRT (I'm using another 17 though) Keyboard + Mouse Windows 2000 Installed, but it would run XP np BTW, I...

Last upgrade was a 9600SE to a 9800 Pro... and I still can run most games at acceptable levels with that card.

I got a case with 3 80 mm fans (2 extake, 1 intake) and it is loud a hell! Pissing me off quite a bit recently. Two of the fans came with the case, the other is a Memorex fan that I got a bit back. Any suggestions? I got a large case so they need to push some air, but not too much.

I run 4x512 so I couldn't run 1T if I wanted to.

Any idea?

Seems that my Audigy 2 Value has the infamous screech of death... Playing BF2 after some time make the soundcard start screaching from each speaker and then cause the system crash. I thought I fixed it by reinstalling the drivers, but no. Any ideas how I can get rid of the problem? It is...

I used to watch Divx movies on the following specs no problem: P3 500 Katmai 320 MB Ram TNT2 AGP i440bx w/ 2x AGP slot

Take out your Audigy 2, install the integrated drivers. Then put the Audigy 2 back in (in a different slot as before), and reinstall the drivers. I 'THINK' that I fixed the problem that way, however, I'm not so sure yet. Still, beats the Audigy LS I scrounched up (which is the same...
