    I have two 6600GTs in SLI and I played with them for a while until the problem happened. So the story is, at one point I started my computer and when i got into windows, i received a message saying that there wasn't enough power going to the Cards, therefore the chip was modifying its power...

    Is a 7800GT enough for Call of Duty 2?

    I got a 6600 GT... i run at 1024x768 with everything maxed out and 4AA and it runs fine...I've seen lag sometimes but they were isolated with nothing much happening (like the end scene) so I believe this had to do with the fact that I had about 30 other programs running and one of them started...

    Computer alternating between idle and load

    Ok... when the computer is on (doing "nothing"), if we look at the windows task manager, it goes from 0% to 100%, and alternates and you can see the CPU percentage idling between system and systemidle. It does this consistently and programs tend to lag ... does anyone have a similar problem? I...
