    Indilinx (OCZ) Arowana reviews?

    Ok, so OCZ announced this supposedly amazing firmware for Indilinx drives back in May. OCZ drives with this new firmware are shipping, and in fact Newegg ran a promo on those drives which sold out. So... the drives are out there, but no reviews? I found out that the drive I purchased last year...

    AM3, AM3+, 800-series, 900-series, Information

    I want to use this thread to collect information about the AM3/AM3+/800-series/900-series mess. Essentially, AMD is holding back information that could have a significant impact on those of us who are ready to make purchases now. What is particularly puzzling is that AMD has released more...

    Gamestop (Canada) PS3 w/GH3 bundle

    Gamestop (Canada) is running a promo where you trade in 4 games and get a 120GB PS3 with Guitar Hero 3 (with guitar) for $200. Obviously they don't take any 4 games. The trade-in value for the game must be at least $8. The funny thing is they sell pre-owned games for $20 that qualify for the...

    Crazy Machines 2 Update

    Logged on to Steam tonight and it updated Crazy Machines 2. The latest update to Crazy Machines 2 now lets players access the PhysX levels if you have a PhysX capable GPU. These levels were locked before unless you specifically had a PPU. There are also 20 ADDITIONAL bonus levels! Sweet!

    Nforce4 and the hardware-based firewall

    The intent of this thread is to inform, not incite. I simply want to share the experiences I've had with nForce4, Network Access Manager, Nvidia, and Gary Key. First, Gary contacted me after I had expressed frustration (in a News thread) with Nvidia's broken hardware firewall. The hardware...

    Disappointed by the Conroe launch

    Yes, I know... another thread. The thread I was attempting to place this in was locked before I hit "Post Message". Honestly, I was more disappointed with Anandtech. What Intel has done is a paper launch by simply not calling it a launch. Neither ATI nor Nvidia could get away with a stunt...

    ISO: X1900XT

    I'll try to keep this short. I stepped up to 7800GTX 512MB through EVGA's step-up program. Sadly, it was defective. Sent back for RMA and paid extra to have it shipped back UPS Express. Without telling me (and after charging me for the Express shipment), they changed the return shipping to...

    A8N32-SLI: x16 vs x8 results from AT seem suspicious

    I normally make a major upgrade around this time of year. Although I have been mostly happy with my A8N-SLI Deluxe, I figured I would replace both motherboard and CPU. I have been keeping my eyes open for the A8N32-SLI Deluxe (as many were), but decided I wanted to proceed with the upgrade this...

    Credit Card required to view Quake 4 product info?

    I did a quick search to see if this was posted before. I apologize if it was. I was trying to take a look at what packages might be available for Quake 4, so I clicked on the "Read more..." link for Quake 4 at Activision's web site. A popup appeared asking for birthdate (which is completely...

    Mounting a drive to NTFS folder at install

    I know that after Windows is installed, it is possible to mount a drive/partition to an empty NTFS folder. For example, a second hard drive or partition can be mounted to "C:\Program Files\games", as long as that folder is empty. What I would like to know is if this mount can be specified during...

    BFG Warranty

    Just curious if anyone knows if the Lifetime Warranty for BFG is transferable. Is the warranty with the card, or with the original owner? The site says there is no need to register to be eligible for the warranty, so I would assume the warranty is with the card, but want to know if anyone knows...

    Gigabyte GV-NX66T128VP update

    Last week I picked up a second GV-NX66T128VP card. This is Gigabyte's fanless GeForce 6600GT. I have been using a single-card configuration for a couple of months without any problems. However, as soon as I started using these cards in SLI, the situation quickly changed. I have never bothered...

    SLI and VIVO

    I recently picked up a second 6600GT to run SLI. My cards (Gigabyte GV-NX66T128VP) have VIVO capability. With a single card installed, the video in works fine. With both cards installed, but not configured for SLI, the video in simply does not work (the input is just black). When configured for...

    Memory timing options

    I'm curious about the memory timing options available on the LP SLI-DR. The following options can be adjusted in the A8N-SLI Deluxe BIOS (1006): Where ranges specified, the intermediate steps are 1. 1T/2T -> duh CAS# latency (Tcl) -> 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd) -> 2 to 7...

    Gigabyte NV66T128VP

    I picked up a Gigabyte NV66T128VP 6600GT this past weekend. I opened the box and there was this extra little package inside. I thought it was probably something for the VIVO functionality, but was surprised to find that it was an SLI connector. I thought these were only shipping with...

    nForce 6.39 Ethernet BSOD Issues

    First, please forgive me if this has already come up. I took a quick look through, but didn't do a thorough search to see if this has already been discussed. Last week when I upgraded to the new nForce4 Standalone Kit, I started experiencing the BSOD problems. The new driver worked great for...

    Looking for a case that meets these criteria

    We are trying to choose a case to use to build several office computers. The case must meet the following criteria: 1) The case must have a mechanism to allow the case to be locked down to a desk with a cable. A case with a tab that protrudes from the back of the case would work well...

    Barton 2500 Week 19

    Why didn't I wait for an nForce2 motherboard?! LOL! Anyway, running at 2175 (174 x 12.5) using a lapped Volcano 6cu, at stock voltage. Even under load I'm only hitting about 49C, and idling at about 40C. I haven't even found the point at which the CPU wants more voltage. Sad thing is, I can't...

    Pop-up ad when leaving

    Okay. I know that AT needs advertising to survive, and that I've even clicked on the occassional ad from AT, thus proving that the advertising is at least somewhat effective. Despite this, I feel that I must protest the new ad that has been appearing when I leave AT to visit another page. It's...

    Lower FSB with Aggressive Timings or Higher FSB with Slower Timings

    Just trying to make a decision, and thought I'd get some feedback from others. I've got some PC2700 memory that operates quite well with very aggressive timings when running at PC2100. It will work at PC2700, but the timings have to be adjusted down quite a bit. I'm running an AthlonXP 1600+...

    NCIX Thanksgiving deals (Canada)

    Just thought I'd give a "heads-up" on some deals at NCIX this Thanksgiving weekend! I ordered a bunch of stuff for myself and others. Any prices I show are what I can remember, so they might be off by a buck or two. The prices are in CANADIAN funds. NEC 1530V 15" LCD refurb with 1 year...
