    Problems with Vista

    Hi QueBert, I was using an old IDE PATA66 drive with Vista64 and got the same stuff over and over. Thought it was the cable. Then, I Figured out it was the drive. Replaced it with an SATAII never had another problem. That was Wifey's machine. On this one I'm using now, I have one IDE...

    3 Way SLi

    COD 4 is very playable. Bioshock too if i don't use more that 2xAA. Believe it or not. Crysis drops to 10 - 15 FPS on the Paradise Lost level. That's not even on Very High. Just on High. Have to turn off shadows or drop to Medium to keep it playing....

    3 Way SLi

    I find it sort of frustrating that even with my quad and a pair 8800 GTS's (which is alot of money for me) I can't play the latest games at high settings with any AA. Sorta looks like I'll have to budget for the extreme high end.... or give up my passion. Maybe golf will be more affordable...

    Watercooling Help Required ZALMAN XT

    You can customize as you see fit. Most problems do occur from mixing different types of metals in the loop i.e. copper, aluminum, and gold. This causes galvanic corrosion if the coolant has any minerals in it. However, if you must mix metals then make sure you use distilled water (has no...

    Is my PSU limiting my 8800 GT SLI?

    That does sound pretty suspicisous. I had an Aspire die like that. One day it just wouldn't start up any more. I would get a quality SLI certified PSU with a little head room. In case you want to OC and like a few USB gadgets. Also, keep in mind driver support will dramatically improve.:beer:

    I don't know about you guys, but its been a long time since I've seen such an home run in the $200 range of cards. Kinda reminds me of the Gforce 2Pro/Ultra days and the Radeon 9700Pro. Those were killer performers for $200 to $300. Then soon after that the prices went crazy! So, even without...
