    Strange Startup issues with UT3

    Hey all. I recently downloaded the UT3 demo after hearing good things about it (namely that it is like UT99) and was looking forward to playing it. It installed perfectly, but when I try to play, it repeatedly and consistently gives me a "UT3Demo.exe has stopped working" notification. My rig...

    Some GDDR2 vs GDDR3 Questions

    I have recently read that the 8600M GT I have ordered in the Sager NP2090 is equipped with GDDR2 instead of GDDR3 and clocked at 300Mhz instead of 700. I realize that the lower-specced GDDR2 won't clock as far as the GDDR3 will, but I was hoping to at least raise the GDDR2 clocks to a level...

    $1000 dollars for 200 extra 3dmarks

    Link Frankly disappointing, IMO. Not that I was expecting anything better, but I was definitely hoping for it... Clock speeds are about par with an overclocked 8800 GTX. Just a peek at what we have in store if AMD tanks... I personally don't think it will anytime soon, but lets hope cards...

    What is up with Eaglelake?

    I was prowling the internet the other day when I stumbled across This diagram at OCworkbench. It shows the Eaglelake Chipset destined for Q2 2008. However, what confuses me is the diagram itself, specifically the graphics card. I understand the Int DP/HDMI/DVI coming out of the Eaglelake...

    Contradicting 8600 GTS reviews

    The first two reviews I read on the 8600 GTS offer drastically different views. In some cases, they are outright contradictory. The first review is from AT (I won't provide the link seeing as you are hopefully competent enough to find the homepage). On page 7, the review states: Looking at...

    Running temps for a PIII E 800mhz Coppermine

    Well, I was running this PIII @ 920 mhz, but the system seemed hot (idling at 60 C) so I bumped it back to stock and installed another case fan to try to improve air flow. I just checked again in the bios, again @ stock, and the machine is idling 55 C... still seems pretty hot. Anyone have...

    looking for a laptop

    My budget is not huge, and I was looking at the dv6000t, with a go 7400. Money is probably the first priority, with gaming taking a backseat. The configuration I was looking at has a C2D, 1 gig ram, 80 GB HDD, and the 7400. At several websites, the 7400 is classed as a very slow card. Now...
