    Vista's sleep and SLI

    The sleep function is by far one of my favorite features in vista. The problem is, I just cant get it to work properly when SLi is enabled (works fine in non-SLi mode). When my computer wakes from sleep mode I see a black screen for about 30 seconds until the vista log-in screen shows up. I...

    Gaming on a plasma/lcd tv

    A few years back, I tried hooking up an htpc on an projection hdtv through the s-video port on a 9800 pro. Needless to say, it looked horrible. Text was extremely distorted/fuzzy and all the colors were off. Now I am considering a 42 in plasma hdtv or a 37 inch lcd tv. With a dvi in port, can...

    Power Supply Question

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm a noob when it comes to power supplies. Right now I have a Zalman 400W PSU. (15 amps on the 12v rail) Since I've upgraded to an athlon 64 setup, I've been experiencing all sorts of errors in windows XP Home, pro, and even 2k. I've narrowed it down to my...
