    X-Fi keeps disappearing

    From what I've experienced it's a problem between some of the 965/975 chipsets and the X-Fi. My Gigabyte DS3 was doing this constantly and I also had some problems on the Intel BadAxe 1. No problems with the reference based 680i chipset boards, Intel BadAxe 2, or Asus P5B-Deluxe wifi. Note that...

    8600/8500 reviews?

    Show me that it beats, in every single test, the midrange from last gen and more than one or two tests where it competes against the high end from last gen...please, I beg you. At best it's slightly faster than mid range last generation (nvidia mid range mind you) and is stomped silly by the...

    8600/8500 reviews?

    Legit Review article...tons of cards tested against it. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/486/1/ For the hardocp review and people that like the 8600 series...So if there are no DX 10 games out now why would I buy a card with mediocre performance in the games that I play right now when the...

    Looking at 7950gx2

    I know you said you weren't really looking for an overclocked model but this is too good to pass up as it's less expensive than a standard clocked card. http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=3000663

    Should I jump on Opteron 165?

    The 165's come with an extra 512k of cache per core than the 3800's. ;)

    *Official* Venice Core Price Guide *semi-updated 4/27*

    I don't know how many times I've seen "paper launch" when people are talking about these new Rev. E CPU's and it's annoying. So where is this "launch?" It's not on AMD's website that's for certain. The only thing that was said was that they were shipping Revision E CPU's (and that's not on...

    New HD as best performance gains?

    The hard drive is still the bottleneck of most PC's. I had the same 30GB Maxtor as you and noticed a huge difference going to a drive with 8MB cache. It isn't going to make any difference in your fps but everything will load faster and seem quicker. A benchmark is only good for what it tests. :D

    SAMSUNG 915N-Black 19" LCD Monitor - $376 shipped

    Just got mine on Thursday. Paid $399. It's worth every penny. No ghosting in CS or UT2k4 and the colors are great. Zero dead pixel warranty. I came from a Sony Trintron so I would say that I can justify my claims. :D No DVI.. is moot. Put the L90D+ next to mine and see if you can tell a...

    The **OFFICIAL** GMAIL Thread

    I was under the impression that they just showed up as emails in your inbox. This is not so. They actually show up at the top of your screen, to the right of "Show search options" "Create a filter." Just below "search mail" and "search the web" tabs. I have no idea how long that invite has been...

    I think the best part is that he's using one of the most obscure names I've ever seen. The point of getting gmail NOW is so that you don't end up with 022134 after your name. If you use an obscure name why not just wait a few weeks and get signed up when it's open to everyone, and let someone...
