    Edler Scrolls Online laptop

    Good evening Anand Forumites, My daughter wants a laptop capable of playing Elder Scrolls Online when it comes out. Honestly, it doesn't seem like it will be a very taxing game. Assuming she wants a 17 inch screen and I want to stay under 1200 bucks, What are your suggestions? I'm...

    Free Staples $10 gift card

    Fill out the form and supposedly you'll get a $10 gift card. I didn't try it since I don't own a business, but I doubt they'd check. They call you to talk about advertising with them. If anyone tries it, let me know how painful/painless it is :). http://1800getreal.com/staples/ This...

    My overclock Abit IP35 Pro / E6600

    Handles 8X425 no problem for 3.4 gHz. I tried lower multipliers with higher FSB's but was having trouble above 470. Could be the RAM, but it is Crucial Ballistix PC6400. 30+ Minutes on Prime95 (Orthos) with no errors. I'll update again soon, but work keeps me busy :).

    ABIT IP35 Series

    Hey guys, I've got most of my stuff for my new build, but I decided to hold out for the ABIT IP35 Pro board instead. So far it is supposed to go for about what the vanilla P5K goes for, but with all the bells and whistles of the Deluxe. Here is an early look at overclocking.. ABIT...

    Join a team within Anandtech?

    I remember when I was doing RC5 years ago, there were small teams within Team Anandtech. Now that I've been crunching for a couple of days...should I be part of a mini-team or just keep sending my stuff solo? Flessan

    2 instances of seti?

    I was told to run 2 instances of seti, but not sure how to do it. I didn't find it on the help pages. Can anyone help me out? I tried just running it twice from the same directory but would get crashes. I assume what happens is that both instances are trying to work on the same unit. Flessan

    Coppermine CPU on an old BX motherboard

    I'm currently running my 800E on an old BX motherboard (Tyan S1894SLA). I know the voltage is not supported... but then I'm not real sure what the voltage is on the motherboard. Can someone educate me on the voltage diffs between the old PIII's and the coppermines? Am I putting my CPU in...

    PIII 800 @ 8 * 133 Dnet fails

    Hey guys. I'm using the Dnet from TACubes site... 247 I think. Is there another version I could try? Everything seems to work fine at 8*133 with my PIII 800E except dnet performs an illegal instruction. It works at 8*126, but I'd like to run at 133 so all my PCI devices are up to spec. So...

    PIII 800

    I see there are two versions of the 100mhz PIII 800's. One is 1.7V and the other is 1.65V. Which is considered the better chip? Other than the obvious... 1.65 would be less heat. Thanx in advance.

    Help with pproxy stats?

    Seems like my RC stuff only shows up on the page once in a while. I know I've cracked way more than what the page shows. Why aren't all my blocks being sent? How can I tell if they are if they don't show up on the pproxy page? Any info?

    Can't get Quake III demos to run

    I tried loading it on two different computers... but the demos (demo1 and demo2) don't run. If I go to the console and type /demo demo001 then it begins to load everything up and then goes to menu screen. If I select one of the demos from the demo menu... it just plain returns to the menu...

    7000 RPM Fan needed?

    I've seen a review or two that suggests much better cooling if you replace the stock fan of the Taisol CGK742092 with a 7000 RPM one. If this is true... where can I get one and how do I know it will fit? Has anyone here replaced their stock fan with a 7k? Thanx in advance,
