    Should I upgrade my CPU platform now (AM3+/FX-8350), or should I wait a little while?

    It's amazing, I just started asking myself the exact same question as the OP and the CPU he was looking at is exactly where I saw myself heading. I'm running an X6 1090T on the same saber tooth board. After installing a new GTX 970 I quickly came to the conclusion that a CPU upgrade was in my...

    Need help with an A64 X2 OC

    I could really use some help because for the life of me I can't figure out what's going on. I bought a 3800+ X2 Manchester to replace my 3000+ winchester. I can't seem to be able to raise my FSB and my memory clock at the same time. Here's what I mean. I have 2GB of PC4000 which I've always...

    Odd startup problem in Windows XP

    My guess is something is waiting to time out. Like a network adapter to get an address or something. Check the event viewer to see what's erroring out.

    I officially hate nvidia's vista driver team...

    nVidia totally dropped the ball on this one. ATI showed some of the best support I've seen through the Vista release. nVidia put on a show of how not to drum up repeat business. As for apps not working under vista try to get Nero working, I haven't been able to burn a CD on my main rig...

    NF3 vista drivers NOT WORKING!!!

    Yep, and that's why I go home every night and toil over whether to just format and go back to XP or not. I've been running vista RTM for going on 2 months now and it's been nothing short of hassle the whole time. Bad drivers, 64 bit can't install a bunch of stuff, etc. So finally I bought a...

    64bit Vista - Will all of my programs work?

    I had some difficulty getting some stuff to work under 64bit. My VPN software and Nero would have been the most notable that wouldn't even install.

    NF3 vista drivers NOT WORKING!!!

    I got some bad news bubba looks like ATI + AMD X2 + NF3 isn't compatible right now. There's an issue with the nForce3 drivers. If you google "vista code 43" you'll easily be able to find details on what I'm talking about. This is ticking me off since I just bought and installed an X2 tonight...

    Gaming Benchmarks on Vista vs. XP

    Yep, nVidia still needs to refine their drivers a good bit. The new Cats made all the difference after I installed them last night.

    Yeah! Microsoft released a plethora of updates and ATI 7.1 Vista

    Just installed the new Cats last night, they're sweet compaired to what it was. CSS is playable now.

    Vista Key questions

    Yep, there's no such thing as a 32bit or 64bit key, they're all the same thing.

    Headbanger Universal Earsubs Headphones EDIT MY Koss Headphone came in see inside for review between the two.

    Will also add to the happy owners of these guys. These ear buds produce increadible bass. I just ordered the Koss plugs last week so we'll see how they compair. The battery life is insane, I originally figured I'd need batteries once a week at best. Reality is you only have to replace the...
