    Unreal 3 engine and the 6800U/X800pro

    when is unreal 3 and the new cards supposed to be expected? I was really looking forward to getting a SLI build going but if its worth waiting for a next generation card and saving the $800 then thats what ill do.

    Video on HDTV's

    Im just curious on how well the display is on HDTVs with 720p? im looking for a setup for gamming and thought it would be killer to have my favorite PC games running on a 46 inch wide screen monitor... I know the highest they are able to hit is 720p, do the images look sharp? is text legible and...

    ATI's RX480/RS480 Chipset

    when exactly does ATI plan on releaseing an SLI type board? and will their current GPU's be able to run in sli mode? im looking to upgrade next month and with SLI readily availible it seems pretty tempting.. plus, call me bias.. ive always had much better luck with Nvidia than ATI.. but being...

    Better processor for laptop

    Wow, wasnt expecting so many replies so fast.. maybe i should rephrase, I already purchased the p4 dell inspirion 9100. I was basically asking if it was worth the investment to get the fastest prescott availible or to get a lower clocked northwood for the heat reasons.. would a 3.4 prescott run...

    Better processor for laptop

    Mainly video gamming.. I bought it so i had something to do in those boring days at work, and all the pentium M laptops i was looking at had crappy video cards.. the dells are upgradeable to mobile 9800's which is pretty sweet.

    Better processor for laptop

    I recently purchased a Dell inspirion 9100 (yes a dell!) with the lowest options availible considering they only gave me a credit limit of 1500... and i figured it would be cheaper to upgrade on my own anyhow.... i was going to drop a new p4 chip in it to get it a bit better for gamming... my...

    Looking for a good Socket939 system

    Im not 100% positive but i dont think any of the socket 939 boards have 4 holes for the waterblock mounting, as for a recommendation id say the new Soltek board seems nice, and ive had very good luck with Chaintech in the past.. MSI is very feature packed but ive heard of alot of people having...

    9700 unusually slow

    So i fired up some gamming with my laptop since im piecing out my desktop pc.. I start up some old school Quake 2.. check the FPS and i cant seem to get anything higher than 60fps at 1024 resolution, to me that sounds absurd i used to get more with a TNT2.. i have all AA off and V_sync off...

    Is the A64 3500+ faster than the 3400+?

    If you plan on keeping everything stock then no.. its not worth the extra 50 bux.. + as of right now the 754 socket has some pretty damn nice boards out, however if you choose to risk overclocking at all id say get the 3000+ socket 939 and spend the 100 bux you just saved on some decent ram and...
