    Moderators here arguing

    The title says it all. I am getting a little tired of two moderators here (who shall remain nameless) who seem to like to take each other on, more often than not in the video forum. Guys, whatever problem you might or might not have with one another, please take it to PM instead of trying...

    a couple of 4850 crysis screenshots..

    Thought some of you might be interested in these screens of Crysis with an ASUS Radeon 4850, paired with a Gigabyte P35 DS3L, 2Gb of generic DDR2800 RAM and an E7200 @ 3.6Ghz (9 x 400) on a Freezer 7 Pro. The frames with these screens were fairly fluid at about 33-35, in firefights it drops...

    Potentially handy information for UK 939 users

    Thought I'd post this just in case there were any UK (or indeed EU) readers who are running a single core 939 Athlon, yet who were thinking they'd maybe missed the boat on a dual core upgrade... They're back... :D Edit: Stupid me, it's a single core chip, shoulda read better. Still...

    Is this any good?

    Right, Grateful for any feedback here. I have an E7200 on a P35 DS3L board. It's now running at 3.4Ghz. I'm sure there's more left in it, but I'm content with it at this speed for now. My games fly and that's all I'm bothered about. Anyway, vcore set to 1.2v in the BIOS, CPUZ 1.45...

    X2 to C2D upgrade

    A month or two back, I asked on here whether it would be worth upgrading to a C2D from my X2 @ 2.6Ghz. I decided back then that I would just hold off for a new graphics card. As it turned out, my boss gave me a much nicer bonus than expected (it was the first time I had been given any kind of...

    A64 to C2D upgrade question

    Hello all, Quick and easy question, would appreciate input. In a few weeks, I will get my yearly bonus from work. And part of that is possibly going to go on a PC upgrade, about 300 UK pounds for components and about another 200 quid for a monitor. I would be upgrading from: Asrock...

    939 X2 4200+ upgrade

    Hey all, I'm currently running a 939 Venice 3200+, but I can get an X2 4200+ for pretty cheap. The Venice is now clocked at 2.4Ghz, the X2 comes stock at 2.2Ghz. I figured I should at least get the 2.4Ghz I got out of the Venice, with any benefits dual core might give. It just seems...

    Would this work?

    Hello. :) I have a question. I've dual booted XP and Vista before, but I didn't like the fact that if I restore XP, I have to reinstall Vista to get the bootloader back. My mobo, the Asrock Dual Sata 2, has an F11 option to select boot device upon startup. My question is this: If I...

    Need opinions on this

    Hello :) Being a novice at this overclocking stuff, as well as having NO success whatsoever when attempting to overclock my last board (nf7-s + xp2600), I decided yesterday to pick up a 939 Venice and the 'famed' Asrock Dual Sata2 board. Right, settings now are as follows, using latest...
