    Any way to decrease Vista's memory usage?

    Dual booting between Vista Home Premium and XP64 right now. Even with 2GB of memory 2 or 3 multiplayer maps are unplayable slideshows in Vista while fine in XP64. The maps will use 1.5GB of memory themselves. Any way to decrease Vista's backround memory usage? I have no other programs running...

    Oh the irony....Same day I order the Nvidia 8800GTS...

    I had started a thread a while back saying that I would never buy a ATI card again. They refused to honor my MIR even though I followed their instructions (except copying the bar code in case of a mishap) and had copies of all receipts and box, etc. (again except a duplicate copy of the barcode...

    Will never buy another ATI card again!

    Did the MIR thing awhile back and never received it. Called them today about it and they have no record of it or having got my rebate info. I can re-send all the info and still get the rebate, but, I need a copy of the UPC box code to be elegible. Blah. I sent the originals in with my first...

    Good news on 2 fronts

    I like the way ATI is thinking- esp. on NOT going 4 way GPU's. Edit- physics on a GPU I'm not so hot on- they are going to have to wow me for even a small consideration. But at least they are trying. The more choices the better. Copy of news text- From OC Workbench- According to...

    HHmmm...somethings coming...

    It sounds like either a Quad core or super clocked FX chip is coming from AMD very soon. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=31994 I'm going with Quad core. Intel says "We hear there will be only hundreds to a couple thousand chips total" - so they know that SOMETHING is coming. Should...

    Do vga RAM heatsinks really help?

    Hoping to get some user feedback on the use of the small heatsinks on video card memory. I've got a Zalman VF700Cu cooler that I'm going to put on my 1800XT but I've already used the ram sinks on a previous card. Is it worth me going out and getting some copper ram sinks for the memory or...

    New BF2 patch 1.2=kick to desktop?

    Well I did a re-install of the game and patched with the full version of 1.2. Game will not load a map now as about half way through it kicks me to the desktop. I re-installed again and played without patch- no problems with single player or multiplayer. But when I install the patch(tried...

    perpendicular magnetic recording

    2 new weapon unlocks in BF2

    If you log into BF2 you'll see you can unlock 2 more weapons with no increase in rank!! I wonder if this signals the new patch is coming or just a bug in the game? It also loks like there might be 2 spots created for new weapons!!

    New Raptor 150GB or Raptor 74GB

    X1800XT users-Highest refresh rate available for CRT.

    I have a 21" CRT monitor that can do fairly high refresh rates at different resolutions. I'm hoping some X1800XT users can fill me in on the highest refresh rates for the posted resolutions that the cards will support. Hoping for: 1024 X 768 at 140Hz or more 1152 X 864 at 120Hz 1280 X 960...

    Way to up refresh rate on ATI(X800gto) cards?

    I recently went from a 6600GT to the X800GTO and am very happy with the performance of the card. The only "gripe" I have is my CRT supports 144Hz at 1024x768 resolution and 120Hz at 1152x864 resolution and the 6600GT also did. The GTO seems to only allow 120Hz at 1024 and 100Hz at 1152... Is...
