    Monitor issue?

    Hi, Recently my ACER monitor has been giving me problems (I think it's the monitor). When I boot the system or come out of sleep, the picture is a scrambled mess. I'm usually able to get it to sync correctly by loading up a game. I've tried the DVI connection and the VGA connection. Tried...

    New x25-m firmware

    is the 9800gx2 SLI?

    Please help me clear up my understinging of how the 9800gx2 works. Is it just SLI on a single card and games need to be programmed to take advantage of both cores using AFR or SFR? Or do both cores get used no matter what? Thanks, Tim

    "upgraded" from q6600 to e8400

    One of my PCs at home died so I needed to get a new processor so I figured I'd try out an e8400 in my main PC and move my q6600 to my number two PC. This is one impressive CPU. Installed it, saw good looking temps, and after 15 minutes and a few voltage bumps, I'm at 4.05ghz (1.4v) 50-55C...

    GPS + BT Speaker phone

    Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a GPS unit that will double as a BT speaker phone for my wife's verizon phone. She drives a lot and won't wear the ear piece. Cheap as possible, but I'd probably go up to $250. Thanks, Tim
