    Pace of technology slowing down?

    In graphics, it's been 10 months since they've released a card with significant performance increase (5870). In CPU's, it's been even longer. And worst of all, the prices have not been dropping much in either category. 5870 is still selling for the same price it did last September. Intel CPU...

    help with Intel HSF push-pins

    These things are a HUGE pain. I can get the first two to go in easily. But after the first two, the rest don't wanna click. I tried putting HUGE pressure on them, even bending the mobo, and they still wouldn't snap in. What am I doing wrong???

    When are we getting higher DPI monitors?

    Like 24 inch LCD's with 3840x2400 instead of 1920x1200. Scaling apps properly shouldn't be hard if the DPI is exactly 2x bigger. Graphics look so much crisper with higher DPI than they do with anti-aliasing. I was recently gaming on a 15" laptop screen at 1920x1200 and DAMN. This is...

    Is it bottlenecking the current cards (4890, gtx285)? What about next generation (5870, gtx380)? Will it bottleneck these? I'm using GA-P35-DS3L with PCI Express 1.1

    help me remove service pack 3!

    I installed a windows XP disk that came already loaded with service pack 3. But one of the applications I use won't work with sp3. So is there any way to just remove sp3? Or do I have to start from scratch and use a windows XP disk that doesn't have it.

    better than perfect scaling in cod4?

    Just wondering why Anandtech thought it would be a good idea to test single cards in a different platform than Crossfire. I'm refering to the 4870 crossfire test where two cards score over twice as much as the single card. Obviously, it produced a result that looks artificially inflated.

    Why don't they make higher resolution desktop monitors?

    We recently bought a laptop that has a 15 inch widescreen with 1920x1200 native resolution. Gaming on this display looks beautiful. You don't see any jagged edges and you don't have to use AA. Why can't someone make a 22 inch widescreen for desktops that does 2560x1600. I would certainly buy one.

    Can a weak power supply harm your system?

    I just wanna know what happens when you run a system that consumes more power than your PSU can put out. More specifically, I'd like to know if there's any risk of damage to the system. Please don't respond unless you really know what you're talking about. Thank you :)

    Help me find 75hz capable LCD's

    I'm looking for LCD's that support a *true* 75hz. That is, ones that do not drop the extra frame. The reason for this is so that I can game at 75fps instead of 60. If someone could provide me with a list of screens I'd be really grateful. I have no clue how to determine which ones do and which...
