    Moderators here arguing

    Lol, you are entitled to your opinion and unlike the odd member on this forum, you can actually present it without being an a$$. It was just something I noticed that made me stop reading a thread. But if most here disagree, fair enough. :D

    Should I game on Vista 64-bit or XP 32-bit?

    And closing down those apps is what I meant by tweaking. You are now giving the same advice as me. Think before you flame. Continue the attacks and insults and you will be reported to the moderators. I have been posting around here quite a while and have not once been subjected to the kind of...

    Changing Processor Possibly

    Well the bottom line is you could save yourself some dollar for a little work. There's a sticky at the top of the CPU forum, that should contain all you need. Read that, clock up that chip and then take out your girlfriend for a slap up meal with the cash you just saved :D

    Rate my OC

    That's pretty nice, you might get some more out of it if you lower your hypertransport multiplier.

    Changing Processor Possibly

    The thing is, you can't really mess anything in the BIOS up, well nothing that can't be fixed by shorting a jumper or removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes. That's all you have to do if it doesn't boot. And once you've done that, the BIOS will load its default settings once more, enabling...

    Should I game on Vista 64-bit or XP 32-bit?

    @ LS8 Think what you like, I am only giving MY experience, which you so kindly refer to as "Bullshit". Note that I said in a post above: If you think you can play games like Crysis at high or full settings at 1680 x 1050 and above on an *untweaked* 2GB Vista system, then I'd like some...

    E7200 VID?

    Hey Cheex, I'd guess about 3.6-3.8Ghz. And your Tuniq may well be mounted fine, the temp sensors on these Wolfdales are borked. If those temps of yours are idle temps, you may find they come closer together at load, which means it's probably mounted ok. If they're load temps, perhap a...

    Should I game on Vista 64-bit or XP 32-bit?

    @ Mem Despite the fact I agree with you, a bit of 'quote editing' might not have gone amiss there fella :D ;) @ ibex Did you try Vista with the rig in your sig, which only states 2GB of RAM? If so, no wonder you had a bad experience. I disagree with the posters in this thread who...

    Moderators here arguing

    Let's make one thing clear, the point of this topic was not to flame anybody or suggest that they may be abusing their powers. This is not the case at all. Moderators are human like anybody else and as such, cannot be held up in some kind of untouchable light. Fortunately, that does not seem to...

    Should I game on Vista 64-bit or XP 32-bit?

    Answer to question, even though OP has already bought more RAM: If you have 2GB of RAM, use XP for gaming. If you have 4GB of RAM, Vista 64 is a viable option for gaming. Under no circumstances should any serious gamer consider using Vista 32. Fact is, Vista IS bloated. Any new...

    Crysis Warhead real laggy, CPU?

    You took the words right out of my mouth.

    Is there a game that actually uses Direct X 10 to make the game look significantly better?

    Not true. This rig runs Crysis/Crysis Warhead better in Vista 64 than XP, much better. It also runs every other game I have (about 30) better than XP with one exception, and that exception is GRID.

    Moderators here arguing

    The title says it all. I am getting a little tired of two moderators here (who shall remain nameless) who seem to like to take each other on, more often than not in the video forum. Guys, whatever problem you might or might not have with one another, please take it to PM instead of trying...

    Worth it to upgrade from 4GB to 8GB?

    6 Gigs does seem to be a sweet spot on Vista 64. I cheaped out when I bought these parts and only got 2GB. Discovered soon enough that wasn't gonna cut it with Vista 64, so purchased another 4GB, just in case running 4 sticks was a problem were I to just buy another 2GB. I ended up...
