    Internet Works Only Without Router

    No offence, but that sounds like terrible advice. Waiting 30 minutes... etc... I lol'ed at that response.

    Internet Works Only Without Router

    I have a strange problem. If I plug my computer straight to the broadband modem, the internet works fine and I get a green light on the back of my network card. However, I need to share the internet connection with another computer. I have a d-link 604 router that works just great with my...

    SLI or not

    Should I go SLI with 2 6600 GT's or am I better off just getting one 7900 GT? Any advice or other options would be greatly appreciated.

    To SLI or not to SLI, that is the question

    Correct Gagan. While I have played around with o'cing in the past, I don't really care to get squeeze the last few drops of performance from my machine at the cost of reducing the lifetime of the parts. If it plays my games with a fluid framerate then I don't need anymore performance...

    To SLI or not to SLI, that is the question

    So get an SLI motherboard but only use one video card? Doesn't that seem a bit strange? I know he said for "GPU LONGEVITY", but I don't see how the GPU lives longer in an SLI board as opposed to an Ultra board. Anyone care to explain?

    To SLI or not to SLI, that is the question

    I'm building a new gaming rig next month. I am going dual core regardless just because I'm a geek and looking forward to owning one. Probably going with the AMD 4200+ X2. My question to you is whether or not I get a motherboard that supports SLI or not. Please let me know what you think...

    Out of the Game for a while. What core to buy?

    So I'm in the market for an AMD machine. Haven't decided on single core or dual core yet. It will be primarily used for gaming. I see the Venice and the San Diego core are out in full force. What core do you guys recommend... and more importantly... why?

    Venice core... how well does it O/C??

    Could someone fill me in about the new Venice cores? How do they stack up compared to the Winchesters?

    Reaction to the Intel Dual Core Article

    Yah yah yah. Let's just face it that games are really never going to have *HUGE* gains in performance from a dual core CPU system. Even if the application is designed to use many threads, games by nature follow a single threaded execution path. Think about it. You're playing HL2, you...

    Reaction to the Intel Dual Core Article

    Yay a gold star for me!! My first gold star. Today must be my lucky day hahaha. I have also read that having 2 CPU's can slow down some games... which I'm wondering about. I know it is possible in Windows to tell a program to "BIND" to one CPU only. This should get it back to the same...

    OCing the CPU

    mdchesne, You are VERY confused I can tell. You are assuming that your HTT multiplier and your CPU multiplier are the same thing! It's not the case. You have Corsair Value RAM according to your profile, set a very low RAM divider and up your HTT until your CPU chokes so that you...

    Reaction to the Intel Dual Core Article

    What does everyone think about the results posted by Anandtech regarding dual core? Not sure if there are any huge benefits regarding the typical gamer PC. I'll probably stay away from it for a couple of years until it may become viable.

    dual vs. single processor for high end workstation

    That's just it though I think most people know that they cannot multitask 2 CPU intensive programs because of the fact we only have 1 CPU. We usually run one and turn the other one off. We will be able to do this now. It'll help me out for sure. I do alot of computer simulation...
