Not too long ago I purchase a ATI 4850, I'm very satisfied with it. I am now considering an upgrade to SLI, which will mean a new motherboard. Im looking for suggestions for an affordable motherboard upgrade for this project.
Current relevent Specs:
AMD 5000 (black box edition running at...
I have been thinking about moving up to the 64bit version of XP. Basic question, has overall support of the 64 bit OS advanced enough (drivers and software) that I would be at little to no risk in moving forward with this? I do a lot of gaming and I want maximum stability to go along with...
GRAW2 is seriously flawed and UBI software is pulling the old EA games trick (C&C Generals) of continuing to throw the problems back in the laps of the owners always insisting it's your hardware. Just there line to get them out of addressing the serious issues this game has.
When the 8600 series was first announced there was mention of a Ultra series in the plans for this card. Does anyone really think we will actually ever see a Ultra in the 8600 series and if so when might it happen? Also will it really any kind of a significant improvement to the somewhat...
God what a pain. I just installed Vista Basic on my Dell 9300 laptop and only half of my keyboard keys work right. The left half of my keyboard is ok...the right half is fragged. All the alpha characters on the right side are coming out as numbers when you type. This is something I never...
Is it just my imagination or am I expecting something I shouldnt. I just updated my Nvidia drivers from 84.21 to 91.47 and most of my 3D benchmarks took a nose dive. Not really in the crapper..but backwards none the less.
Any word on the street about the release of this board? It was shown at Computex 2006 with a scheduled release of August..but as of yet no retail boards seem available yet.
So whats the deal on the sudden large increase in DDR2 memory prices? I have seen price increases for 2GB (1X2) kits increase by as much as $100 depending on brand.
Im on the cusp of upgrading my Micro Fly SFF system and Im pointed towards a swtich from AMD to Intel with the strong showing of the C2D line. I have been searching for a good MicroAtx candidate for this upgrade and the just released ASUS P5B-VM looks like one of the top candidates. It is now...
And we (not Wie) still dote over the tennie bopper. Wie has not earned the right to participate in any of the Men's events she has played in. Sponsers continue to give her expemptions just to promote their tournement and sell tickets. Plus, now she's talking trash about wanting to be on a...
Lets see...AT article..Value thru overclocking says...$224 for the Intel Core 2 Duo E6400..but Newegg says...$299. Lets see...thats about 33% I believe in what appears to be a typical introductory gouge! I buy a lot from Newegg...this is dissapointing if infact the AT article refered to in this...
Help and old man out here...just what is the problem with all these posts of memory issues on these Conroe Motherboards. Why are there so many memory issues on these boards? This crap is making me very uncomfortable about making a platform switch.
Has anybody seen this board around yet? Its listed on ASUS site but I cant find it online. It appears to be mostly like the normal P5B..but a MATX version. Im very interested in upgrading my Micro UltraFly SFF to conroe.
So...Is there really anything inherently wrong with the 7900 series of graphics cards? I ask this question in true interest. I had be considering the purchase of a 7900GT card, but upon reviewing user feedback at newegg on all the various brands and configurations (clocks speeds and such)...
I just built a new system and Im not real pleased with the 12vlt rail reading of 11.71vlts. The 3.3 & 5 vlt rails are dead nuts. So..whats the communities opinion? Should I RMA this puppy and replace it or keep it? I havent really rung this baby out gaming yet to see if there are any obvious...
I snagged one of the New Ultra Micro Fly SFF cases this week from TigerDirect. Not a bad deal at $69.99 with free shipping. It should arrive next Tuesday, hopefully by then I will have sorted out my order list for parts for it. Here is the direction im leaning on my parts list.
Mobo-...
So, whats the bottom line on having to Preload SATA drivers during Windows XP Pro installation? Which SATA controllers are supported during install and which are not requiring a Driver intervention (F6) effort?
Ok..here's the deal. I have a Sony laptop with a non-functioning display. When I turn it on the backlight comes on momentarily then goes black then back on again and black again. It will do this 2 or 3 times then stay black. It's ez to rush to the thought..oh its a bad display, replace it...

I have a friend that just purchased this Gateway MX6421 from Best Buy on sale for $799. Its has a AMD Turion 64 mobile/512 RAM/CD-DVD Burner/15.4 wxga display/80 drive(4200rpm pig)/ATI X300 graphics/4 in 1 digital media reader....etc. I have never been a real big Gateway fan and I have mixed...
So whats the deal football fans? I'm not a Detroit Lions fan so I have to admit I haven't really folllowed them that close. But, you would have to be a complete recluse to not know about the heat he has recieved while playing in Detroit. So..whats the deal. If he is really that bad, is his...
Im on the verge of ordering a X q-pack SFF case and I am struggling with my m-atx mobo selection for the AMD X2 solution. I buy only from newegg and to be honest I see no real glowing reports on any of the 939 m-atx boards. The most widely purchased one is a biostar T6100 board and it has...
Do you suppose those sorry "Frogs" might actually might have shortened life spans because of this? Such horrible news for a Nation that has long since forgotten who liberated them and gave there country back to them.

Well if you are a NASCAR fan this is an interesting little tidbit. Toyota will be racing in the Nextel Cup Series in 2007. They currently will be featured in 3 teams. This will add some new interest and help clean up the stale taste/feeling I have had with NASCAR over the last couple of...
Geezz....its gotten to the point that you have no idea what you are looking at anymore when you try to translate the CPU nomenclature into CPU performance. All this Pentium D 8XX/9XX, Pentium 4 5XX crap. All this translates to what?...confusion. So lets have it guys, a link to a no brainer...
Im building a little system on a Nividia 6100 mobo that has a 24 pin power connector. I have a antec 430 true power PS on hand that has a 20 pin connector...Anybody really see any harm in just using a 20-24 pin adapter vs. having to go out and buy another PS with a 24 pin connector. I will be...
Well once again we see a shining example of the power of big unions to hold huge portions of our population hostage to there greed. Gee..where else can you make 50K a year driving a bus?
