    i'm using the auslogic defragmenter(3rd party) for vista. it shows you a visual. the built in shrinker works fine, but i need to shrink the partition more than it's allowing me to, and from the visual i can see there's lots of space between the 2 blocks of data.

    6600gt agp psu problems

    the hdd and dvd writer are running fine on the second psu. that would not interfere with the power supply of the 6600gt which is the only thing attached to the 450w psu, besides the mobo.

    Straight forward overclocking question

    1. I have a 533mhz FSB cpu (prescott 2.40A) 400DDR RAM and lets say adequate cooling, how much would a normal 533mhz(133*4) FSB motherboard with an intel chipset (845PE) be able to go? would it go past 166mhz and 200mhz? 2. If I used a 800mhz(200*4) FSB would I be able to overclock more, say...

    If Far Cry works why not Battlefield 2...

    obsidian makes sense its not an nvidia thing, just careless programming, the end result of which doesn't even justify their demands. heck if crytek can program for ps1.3 why can't they. JackBurton's remarks are at best pitiful.

    If Far Cry works why not Battlefield 2...

    ok, what did he say... someone is apparently trying to rewrite some shaders. is this going to become a trend? someone else has to come and fix stuff up. stuff which according to "randum" still doesn't look as good as far cry anyway, so pixel shader 1.4 isn't really doing anything great...
