    Summing up the HUGE viral marketing thread

    As u folks can see, I joined a long time ago but have not contributed much to the forums. This is purely because when I made a few posts, what I realised that the fanboys will never allow any rational discussion on these forums. So I just decided to take a backseat and avoid headaches over this...

    farcry glitches on 6600gt

    Well, I turned up the settings to Very High and 1152X864 and I must say it looked great but all the indoors which I remember are supposed to be dark are extremely bright and shiny and the grass appears to be black in some areas. I initially turned down the detail to medium but to no avail...

    OK guys, I know u folks r sick of this question asked again and again, and personally even I dont read threads with such titles but I "think" I did things right while switching vid cards. 1. Uninstall drivers from control panel. 2. Restart and in safe mode, run driver cleaner. 3. Replace...

    DDR400 CL 3.0 lead over DDR333 CL 2.5

    Hey fellas! I was wondering what kind of performance gain I can expect from a move to kingston value DDR 400 CL 3.0 (currently using 333). I am planning to put it in an Asus P4P800 along with a 2.4C and also plan on enabling Hyper Path (Asus's PAT). I hope there are no issues with Kingston and...

    worrisome temperatures!?

    Hi all! I am running an intel d865perl with a 2.4C. I have installed the intel active monitor and every time I played games, temperature on system zone 2 went beyond 50 Centigrade which is the threshold value. So I turned up the threshold value to 60 Centigrade and now, the temperature doesnt go...

    which platform's better for OCing vid cards?

    I recently upgraded from a 1hgz athlon thunderbird on a gigabyte 7ZX with a 235W power supply to a P4 2.4C on an intel d865perl with a 350W power supply. My vid card is a chaintech GF4 TI 4200 128 MB, and previously, I had comfortably OCed it to around 275/500 without any problems running 3dmark...

    800 vs 533 fsb

    Hi all!! I checked out some benches here at Anand's and atleast for my use (gaming mostly), I think the performance enhancement is negligible between 533 and 800 fsb. Is the price premium really worth it. And what ram is the 533 fsb processor coupled with best, 266/333/400 ? I guess if I do get...

    either chaintech cheated or powerstrip is blind!!

    Hey fellas! I am running a Chaintech GT20 ti 4200 128 MB on 1ghz athlon, and as you might have guessed, I never tried overclocking it as the cpu is the major bottleneck. As of recently, I am hoping to upgrade to a P4 2.4 ghz and thought maybe I should ytry and see how far will this chip allow to...

    Springdale/centrewood worth waiting for?

    Or should I just settle for an 845pe based board. I just like to play games and surf the net. What kind of performance boost should I expect from the dual ddr, I dont think the e7205 is worth the price premium but supposedly these new chipsets are cheaper, right? Anyways, I am hoping to couple...

Last time it hanged, I was watching an Mpeg file with hardware acceleration disabled. Previously, I was using a...
