    GTX 580 SLI vs GTX 680

    I'm currently running a single GTX 580 (1.5gb ram). I'm also running the P67 chipset so I'm limited to PCIE 2.0 (instead of 3.0). I was looking at upgrading to the GTX 680 but noticed newegg.com has my video card (exact model) on sale for $369.99. Looking for advice on which way to go. I'm...

    HD 4000 With Discrete GTX 680 Dual Monitor

    Tried doing a search but not really sure how to search this. Is it possible to have a dual monitor setup where one monitor is connected HDMI to the HD 4000 and another monitor connected DVI to the GTX 680 and have the desktop span across both monitors (windows 7 or windows 8)? My gut tells me...

    P67 Question

    This question is in reference to the Asus Maximus IV motherboard. I know one of the limitations of the p67 chipset is no dual 16x support for sli / xfire. Does that apply to all pcie slots on the motherboard? I will be getting one gtx 580 (for now) but also getting a pcie 1x sound card. Will...

    SATA Enclosure

    Does anyone happen to know if the Ultra ULT40443 3.5" Internal Enclosure natively supports SATA revision 3.0 (SATA 6 Gbit/s)? Done quite a bit of searching last night / this morning and can't find a definitive answer so hoping someone here has one that can give a definitive answer.

    Vizio XVT Series as Gaming Monitor

    Searched the forums but haven't found any solid info. Looking at possibly buying a vizio 32" xvt tv (model is SV320XVT) and using it for my main display on my PC. The reason is the picture is outstanding plus it runs at 120hz. I currently have the 47" model as my main tv. I guess I could...

    3870 Heat Question

    Just built up my new system and decided to give crossfire a try. I got a pair of Diamond Viper Radeon HD 3870's for the video. I noticed, like everyone who has the 3870's has stated, that the fan's run slow so I downloaded rivatuner to speed them up (as both still have the stock hsf). My...

    Sound Gone on Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe

    Anyone had their sound die on this motherboard? Was working just fine yesterday but when I turned on the PC today, no sound. The nvidia drivers aren't listed in device manager either. Reinstalled the latest nvidia drivers and they're still not there. Updated the BIOS to the latest revision...

    Asus A8N-SLI Raid Setup

    Installing WinXP with a raid setup on the Asus A8N-SLI motherboard. My question is about loading the raid driver during XP setup. I just built this new system and I don't want to install a floppy drive if it's at all possible. Is there anyway to load the raid driver from another media besides...

    Best 845g Motherboard

    I'm looking for the best (by best I mean fastest, most reliable) 845g motherboard available. I don't really care about extra features like video, sound, or raid and stuff like that as I'm not gonna be raiding anything (although I do know that the current 845g motherboards all come with video...

    Everquest, Hercules TnT 1, and Win2K

    I'm asking this on behalf of a friend. He has a first generation TnT card (Hercules). It seems that any direct 3d game he plays it hard locks the system. We do have the latest drivers from Nvidia installed (6.1.8 I believe). I read somewhere that the best drivers for the first generation TnT's...

    Logitech USB Wheel Mouse, Quake 3, and Win2K

    I'm trying to use my wheel and third (thumb) mouse button in Quake 3 on Win2K, but it is not working. I've found the registry key that lets you change the function of each mouse button, but I forgot what the settings are supposed to be in order to use the wheel an third (thumb) button. TIA.
