    Bad RAM Maybe?

Also, when i went to her home to figure it out, it BSOD's on me booting over and over, and wouldnt even go into safe mode. Suspecting RAM, i have it at my house and tried a...

    NV Silencer and 6800 Ultra

    I was wondering, how exactly does the NV5 work with an ultra since the ultra is a 2 slot cover. Seems like you would have to do some cutting or something to get it to work. Anyhow, i ordered one and now that it is shipping, i am wondering how im going to get it on there...lol

    Audio and Frames per second

    Currently i use the MSI Neo2 Onboard AC97. I found an old Audigy 1394 card laying around and was wondering what kinds of increases would i see by using it instead. If im not mistaken it is the original Audigy. It is the SB0090 card. I remember that onboard sound used to cost you 5-10 frames...

    Ordered my new card :)

    My quest is over. thanks for any who helped. I went ahead and jumped on the newegg deal for 459.00. I ordered the EVGA 6800Ultra. I figured since i dont need the game load, and i have every cable known to man already, i might as well get the card that has the best speed. Rather than get a 6800GT...

    Asus 6800GT 256mb V9999GT?

    I stumbled on this card today and would like to know if anyone owns it, and how they feel about it. My case has a blue theme that would really take advantage of those lights. The card looks great also. But my biggest interest is that there is a nice cooler and 2 molex connectors. Is this thing a...

    FX-55 Stock vs Winchester @ 2.6

    I decided to do a bit of testing at work today. We happened to have a week 44 FX-55 on hand, so i figured i would end my question as to which CPU was faster. Using a gigabyte Rocket pro Cooler and AS5 on both. Both had XP w/SP2 installed and Mcafee Antivirus running. Both were on a Neo2 Board...

    Ceramique Better than AS5?

    I just swapped from Ceramique to AS5. I burned it in the same way as before, and i seem to have risen a few degrees, rather than drop the few degrees i was suppose to. Any ideas?

    Best Overclocking 6800GT in U.S.?

    I ask U.S. because i know the golden sample is the best, but it seems it is gone from the US market. Right now i am looking at a leadtek, but getting conflicting reports of its cooling/overclocking capability. Noise is not a factor for me, so the only thing that matters is the best "out of the...

    I have the Neo2. My sys temp is always 6-8c higher than my CPU. Its running at around 40c all the time. My question is, if i slap some AS5 on it, is that bad? Im not sure wether or not you can put conductive grease on the NB. Just makin sure before i do it. Obviously, i know to be real careful...

    3200 on Air @ 2.6 with 1.4v

    I have my 3200 Winchester on Air with stock cooler at 260x10 with ram 1:1 It would never go as high as 262 without errors, but at 260 it is stable as a rock. I lowered the Vcore and it stayed stable, so for the heck of it, i lowered the vcore all the way down to 1.4. My board undervolts, so...

    Which card to buy?

    I am going to be in the market for a new video card here in a few weeks. I am having so much trouble deciding, i thought maybe some of you could weigh in. I have been an ATI guy for a good while, and have never liked a card as much as my 9800 pro (flashed to XT). I want an X800XT, but i am...
