    Manager at work

    I work at a Porsche dealership as a Cashier and today I pulled a 12 hour shift because one of my co-workers had the day off for whatever reason. About 15 minutes before closing a customer came in to drop off one of his cars and pick up another. He initially made contact with me first and I...

    Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe chipset cooler clearance?

    I have an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe that I outfitted with a swiftech mcx159-r because the chipset fan died on the stock cooler. I love the cooler and I think it's why my computer has been alot more stable than any other computer in my house during the summer. I'm planning on buying another 7800GTX...

    My stomach was growling so I checked out the kitchen for something to reheat and eat. But alas, I found nothing good. So I went out in the Accord and started cruising around for something good to eat. I passed a Mc'D, Bruger King, KFC, Taco Bell, etc. But I didn't want a huge meal, just...

    I'm about to aquire a 1991 Accord DX from Nutbucket. I'd like to upgrade the brakes so that I have rotors all around and much larger rotors in front. The stock rotors just didn't feel like they'd help in an emergency situation. Can anyone help me find a brake kit online?

    Best A64 CPU for a 7800GTX?

    I'm currently using a Winchester 3200+ on an A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard. I upgraded from a 6800NU to a 7800GTX a week ago. I love how I can play at 1280x1024 with the highest IQ. But in games like FarCry, I'm geting 60FPS most of the time. It never dips below 50 but I'd like to crank out as many...

    How to monitor NF4 chipset temperature?

    I currently have an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe. My original chipset fan failed so I replaced it with a Swiftech MCX159-R. After doing a good job on installing the chipset heatsink, I noticed that my temps from Asus probe have not changed. Is it really true that the NF4 does not have an internal...

    Horrible 3D perf w/ 6800NU AGP

    I just built a budget minded computer for a friend. Since he only had $600 to spend, I decided to build a nice Celeron D system. For $100 I got a 2.53Ghz Celeron D and a Foxconn SiS648FX chipset based motherboard. I got XP SP2 installed and all the latest drivers. When I went to play Halo PC...

    Any good PC games for the summer?

    I know Fall is when all the big titles are coming for the PC but what is there out right now that's fun to play? I've already god FarCry, Halo, Doom 3 and RoE, HL2 and UT2004. I'm bored with all except Halo. I need something fresh! If BF2 something worthwhile?

    Thumbs up for Swiftech MCX159 NB Heatsink!

    I bought a Swiftech MCX159 heatsink to replace my dying Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe chipset heatsink. It was giving me the death rattle and it was running at half the speed even though it was clean!! About an hour ago I got my package from Fedex which contained the Swiftech cooler. It's BIG! The copper...

    Memo to Rollo

    Just because not everyone on the forums can afford a 7800GTX, it doesn't give you cause to bash anyone who still thinks their X850-XTPE is the best. Just ignore the ATI fanboys and you'll be much better off on the forums. Rollo ATI hater crew #002

    Logitech Gamepad Not Working w/ A8N-SLI D

    I bought a Logitech dual action gamepad a while ago for a game. It worked flawlessly. I put it away for a while and recently dug it out for San Andreas on the PC. XP SP2 detects the gamepad correctly but the controller won't respond!!! I tried it on another computer with XP SP2 and an Abit...

    3200+ S939 too slow for 7800GTX?

    I just bought a 7800GTX and I got a nice big boost in FPS over my 6800NU. But I'm a little concerned that my 3200+ is a little too restrictive. Am I right or should I not worry?

    I love my new 7800GTX

    I got the EVGA version from PC Club this afternoon. I must say, playing at 1280x1024 with maximum AA/AF settings and still getting fast FPS is amazing. Everything looks alot better with maximum AA/AF settings. HL2 looks sooo real. It's the best $650 I've spent.

    Presario 2700US Problems!

    My grandpa bought a Compaq Presario 2700US in late 2001. It's been about 4 years and the laptop hasn't given him any major problems besides "user error". My grandpa always falls for those stupid wizards that pop up *somehow* and either bridge his wireless access card and mess up his network...

    TT Silent Boost is AWESOME!!!

    I have an old AMD 1800+ that had a dirty OEM heatsink. The thing looked soo patehtic I un-installed it and went out to Fry's to get a socket A TT silent boost. Using the included thermal grease I put a teeny tiny blob of thermal grease. It was about 1/8th the size of a grain of rice. Then I got...

    XP SP2 + SKT939 A64 3200+ = Most Stable Build Yet!

    I must say I am impressed with my socket 939 A64 3200+ CPU. It's the most stable computer I've ever built, and it's a solid workhorse. My computer has been up for about 4 days without a reboot so far. I upgraded from a Barton 2500+ and every morning I'd have to reboot it to "refresh" it. I've...

    Random stuck pixel on Samsung 930B

    Just today, my Samsung 930B developed a "stuck" pixel that goes away after rubbing the pixel a few times. Its happened three times today, and I'm 99.9% sure it's the same pixel. I'll leave my computer for an hour and turn the screen on to find a stuck red pixel. I rub the pixel and it goes back...

    LCD questions

    I have a couple of questions for the more experienced LCD users. First off, does your LCD have backlight bleeding? Did it go away after a couple of weeks or is it there for good? Please help me out, I'm pulling my hair trying to find an LCD with no backlight bleeding.

    POLL: Samsung 930B Blacklight Bleeding

    After reading the Samsung 930B thread, I jumped on the 930B. My first 930B had minor backlight bleeding and the top half of the display was darker than the bottom half. I am now on my second 930B, BL bleeding is worse but the display is evenly bright/dark. I'm going to Fry's to exchange for a...

After I setup nview in the display panel to clone, I pressed the button to switch to the digital input on my moniotr. It switched...

    Creative SB PCI512 versus Onboard A8N-SLI sound?

    I've got a Creative Soundblaster PCI512 laying around that could go in my computer. I've noticed that turning off sound in games gives me a 15-20% boost in FPS. So I'm guessing the onboard sound on my A8N-SLI deluxe is eating up alot of CPU cycles. Would the PCI512 be fine with today's games...

I've heard that installing 4x512mb of RAM will make it run at DDR333 @ 2T, or will it be DDR400 @ 2T? If it will run at DDR333, I'm obviously going to get an A64...

    Anyone think the A8N-SLI Deluxe chipset is not noisy?
