I have my ASUS lappy in my sig and honestly, I don't use it much for gaming at all. The main reason being that it's just really uncomfortable. When gaming on my desktop, I like to have my keyboard and mouse spread apart a certain distance and the monitor at eye level, which I obviously can't...

ASUS G50VT-X5 I just bought one of these bad boys and I'm 100% satisfied. This thing keeps up with my i7 gaming wise. HL2, CS:S, TF2, and QL all run perfectly. Haven't installed any newer games like Crysis or FC2, but I've heard that it can run them at max quality no prob. As far as any older...

Running @ 3.6GHz/1.27V Temps ~40C @ idle / ~70C @ load (+/- 5C depending on room temp) I hate seeing people say they get 30C on 4.0GHz OCs. :\ It makes me obsess about my temps... :[

I probably realized it more so at the time, it's just been so damn long I can barely remember if it was a Voodoo2 or Voodoo3...

I had a Duron 800 and hated it. If I remember correctly, I bought a Voodoo3 3500 (maybe Voodoo2, not sure), and when I installed it and fired up a game, and the frame-rates were horrible. The Duron had some kind of floating-point problem that bottle-necked the hell out of my system. I ended up...

I don't really care whether or not it gets removed, honestly. But it seems to be bothering other members of the forum... However, I found the solution to my problem: UNINSTALLING GOOGLE CHROME Yea, I was using Google Chrome, mainly because Google hypes it's multi-threading capability so...

Sorry. It just seemed more appropriate here. ... didn't mean to ruin your night. ;P (Mod: Please delete my post in the memory forum.) Nooo sir. They don't pay me nearly enough to work overtime cleaning up the Memory forum too. Hey wait...they don't pay me at all... (If you really...

My BFG 285 should be at my front door sometime tomorrow! I'm coming from a Radeon X850 XT. The beast in my sig will finally be finished!!

Hey everyone. Whenever I watch online video in full-screen mode, the video gets really choppy (GameSpot, YouTube, etc.). Actually, it's not every time I watch videos, there seems to be a point where the video no longer runs smoothly. I can't really pin-point the source of my problem. I'm...

Hmm, well I uninstalled Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 and it seems to have remedied the problem... damn war... err :X

I uninstalled BitTorrent, that 'DNA' process always bothers me. I'm going to try uninstalling Photoshop and Illustrator too, maybe that'll fix it, maybe not... Thanks tho

Ok, so I fixed the frequency issue and my RAM is now running at 1686, however I still notice some videos, not all, run choppy when ran in full-screen. What's the deal? Is video output dependent on your video card? I only have a GeForce 9400GT installed in my system right now, could that be the...

I have 3 x 2GB sticks of Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz RAM installed in my system. I just realized my mobo was only recognizing it as DDR3 1066MHz. I fixed it in the BIOS, and rebooted thinking everything was fine. Well, I go to look at some videos at GameSpot and when I watch the videos regularly...

My favorite of all time is obviously my latest, the i7 920.
