    C2D/Q Temperature and V-droop

    Am I right in reading the C2D/Q temperature spec in requiring a max delta between idle and load temperature of 25C (fixed or variable based on case temp)? If yes, would v-droop be directly or indirectly play into supporting that requirement? Running idle at higher temp and limiting load temp...

    8800 GTX Dualview Performance Under Vista64

    Tha latest Nvidia Vista64 driver seem to have resolved the massive performance penalty hit when you do 3D gaming on the 2nd monitor. Initial observation from WoW indicates a 100% improvement on Vista64 over XP Pro. XP's dualview performance is crippled beyond belief. At least now, I have a...

    Hey guys, It's been a while since I have done a full or partial DIY build. Need your advise. Currently, I have a custom-built ancient P4 3GHz Northwood with (argh) RDRAM. The rig really can't or shouldn't be upgraded anymore. LOL. But I really want to get a faster gfx card for it. I...
