    Your Favorite Graphics Card of All Time

    Title says it all, with the keyword being card, not GPU. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic today and would like to see everyone's choices. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814122134 That is my favorite, purchased from NewEgg late in 2002. Man that thing screamed. I remember how proud...

I'm currently in Afghanistan, but not for much longer, and I've been buying the parts for a new build as good deals come around. This is what...

    PSU Advice

    I'm looking for a little advice on which PSU to pick up to power my next PC. It's looking like it'll be a 2500k CPU with a 560 Ti or 6950 GPU, an SSD and HDD combo and 8 gigs of RAM system. Newegg has the Antec EarthWatts EA750 on sale for $79.99 which is sixty bucks off. Is that a reliable...

    I'm interested in upgrading my Sony laptop to a SSD but I need help confirming I can with this particular model. It's a VGN-FW560 with the latest BIOS update, but unfortunately the BIOS is locked. I'm curious if anyone knows if I can run a SSD in it, and if so will AHCI be enabled? The BIOS is...

    Please Help Me With My PS3

    So from what I've read through various Google'ing I think the motor took a shat in my PS3 last night as none of my Blu Rays, games or CDs even spin in the drive. I've had my PS3 for over a year now, so no warranty work can be done and it looks like it's going to cost ~$200 to get it fixed. Isn't...

    I Love English

    Songs You Like...

    So, I'm sure everyone here has songs they listen to that other people are unaware of (or may even hate :P). What are some of yours? I'll lead off with a couple from Train... Cab I'm Not Waiting in Line I never hear people talking about these songs, and on a plus side I never hear 'em on...

    Just Got Back from Infineon Raceway

    I think this is the sixth time I've gone. I am Gordon fan, and today was surrounded by #8 fans. Took a heckling for around four hours. SILENCE for the last ten laps. Whooohooo! Go #24! I know, this is ATOT... if it's not F1 or WRC no one cars. What a great day.

    New Laptop Time

    I think it's time for a new laptop... one that games. I don't need to run everything maxed out, however. The lighter the better, and of course longer battery life is good, too. (I know, gaming laptop + battery life doesn't exactly mix.) So far I've come up with the Apple MacBook Pro (Never...

    Noooooo!

    I just spilled a glass of ice water on my desk. The water and ice cubes went from glass to desk, then proceded to partly submerge my purple MSI GeForce 4 Ti4400 (that I had chillin' on my desk) and then continue from there to my keyboard. Keyboard seems fine... Ti 4400 probably not. Water -...

    Apple Notebooks

    Hi guys. I am very interested in using an Apple for the first time. I would end up using my Apple mostly for college related stuff with little to no gaming. Preferable size is to be 14-16 inches and around five pounds. The longer the battery life the better. Now, what you Apple users...

    Length of X1900 vs 7800GT

    Does anyone know how the X1900 compares in length to the 7800GT? As much as I love my EPoX board, they placed the IDE connections on the motherboard in the worst place. Anything longer than a 7800GT will cover at least one up. :(

    I'm looking to upgrade my current motherboard. It's an EPoX board sporting the nF4 Ultra chipset. My question is if I change to another motherboard with the nF4 SLi chipset in it, do I need to format my O/S partition and reinstall? Thanks.

    Just Got My BFG 7800GT

    Just got done playing around with my new BFG 7800GT. Sucker overclocks nicely I think... 490/1.18. 3DMark05 is 7698. Games run flawlessly at all the highest details. My only beef is the fan. It is by far the loudest think in my case. My computer went from quiet to loud. I know the fan...
