    Dlink Wireless PC Card on nx9010

    Having a weird problem. Got a friend who has an old HP compaq nx9010 that has a weird problem. He bought and installed a D-Link DWL-G650 PC card on it, which works fine. Only problem is, every time you boot the laptop, the system doesn't detect the card. You have to unplug and re-plug it before...

Only that my CPU oc is no longer stable (Im guessing it's coz of the gpu's higher power requirements) so I'm running the CPU and...

    Is my neo2 Plat dead?

    Ok. It all started when I flashed my bios to version 1B (TCCD Mod). The flash was succesful, but when I rebooted the system it would not post. So I reset the bios using the bios jumper and rebooted, which let to a normal boot and everything was fine. Then a couple of days ago, my USB ports stop...

    X800XT oc'ing question

    I know this is a tad outdated, but I could use some input here. Been trying to OC my Sapphire X800XT (w/ ATI Tool) but I can hardly get up to 520/540 without artifacts. It's cooled with an AC silencer 4, load temps get to about 61C, so I doubt it's a temperature problem. I've read on a couple of...

    Arctic Cooling ATI VGA Silencer 5

    I've looked around quite a bit but the ATI VGA Silencer 4 seems to be out of stock everywhere. Ver 4 is compatible with the X800XT. I was wondering, is version 5 compatible with the X800XT too? I've noticed that it's compatible with X800XL and X850 series, but what about the X800XT?? Anyone know?

    AMD vs. Intel Stress test at Toms

    This test has been up since friday last week. Interesting performance numbers. It seems the A64 X2 pwns in everything except video encoding. It's seems the load balancing on these two processors is pretty different.
