    L226WTX Performance

    Hi all Just thought I'd drop by and give me opinion of the new 22" LG I've purchased. Overall its great. The high contrast ratio and the low response time is great and I couldn't ask for more when it comes to a monitor. However there are a few issues I've had with this particular unit...

    Upgrade Time! 7 series to 8

    I understand the 768 is better for higher resolutions, and I plan on getting a 32" LCD TV to use as my monitor ( http://www.primaamerica.com/calc32r25.asp ) and whether or not to get the 768MB version or dual 320MB in SLI. What I do know is that the memory in SLI doesn't add to be 640 but...

    Need help pinpointing

    Whenever I load windows XP, it takes me about 6-7 minutes just to get to the desktop. What happens is the drive stops working and just sits there for about 4-5 minutes doing nothing. The HDD light is on but theres no activity. Then out of the blue it decides to load. I've tried BootVis but...

    Awesome Display

    So I just bought this from where I work http://www.primaamerica.com/CaLC32R25C.ASP we had it on display running off a G5 2x dual core system running some HD trailers and I must say this TV kicks some serious ass. I paid $699 canadian for it, and I couldn't be happier. Just thought I'd pass...

    AMD "64 Bit Athlon" a Gimmick?

    I work in computer sales, and I recently had a customer ask what the advantages of going with the 64 bit processors were. I was stumped as to what to tell him. I mean, when I bought my 3800+ I thought i was safe in the future for when the 64-bit architecture hit the market. It never did become...

    Overclock a Success?!

    Well, my very first overclock every and I must say, it was a breeze. I've been doing a lot of research about OCing ever since I got my 3800+ but never wanted to risk it. But after hearing about people getting the 6600 at 3.4 stock air I was thinking I gotta get in on this. I wanted to push it...

    Stability Advice

    I just built my new PC. However, I am having some stability issues when it comes to windows. I am not sure if it is a hardware issue (shouldn't be) or what. For instance, upon a hard reboot, windows will hang with the HD Activity light on at the initial loading screen for about 2 minutes...

    Low Performance, Need configuring!

    I just upgraded today from a 3800+ with one 7900gt to a Core 2 Duo E6600 and another 7900gt in SLI. One is eVGA, the other is XFX. The actual specs for the cards are eVGA 7900 GT KO, XFX 7900 GT. Different vendors are supported. I get barely better framerates in Company of Heroes, Oblivion...

    Upgrading the Rig

    Today I'm going to bite the bullet and purchase a core 2 duo system. I've done a lot of research on the topic, however memory has me confused. I am going to be getting the E6600 just because its $300 less than the 6700 and I can easily overclock to the E6700 speeds (I assume its the same chip...
