    New EVGA Warranty Policy? Wow...

    If you plan on keeping your card for a long time, I think PNY's XLR8 line of cards has a better warranty. True lifetime warranty for as long as you keep the card. Most cards are about $30 more, but it still beats the nickel and diming that EVGA's new policy seems to be...

    I have a rev. 1.02G P5W-DH and NO ONE has any info on performing this pencil mod on it. THe layout is different and it pisses me off that no one can offer an inkling of help about it. Doesn't anyone without a 1.0G pencil mod their board?

    muLAN: Southeastern Wisconsin LAN

    Hey guys, I just thought I would drop a line to any and all south-eastern Wisconsin gamers. We have a fund raising LAN at Marquette University for the Electrical Engineering Honors Society Eta Kappa Nu. Admission is only $5 if you pre-register online, and $8 if you just show up to play...

    LAN Party Topology (Help)

    Right now, all I have is a 3000+ AMD A64 with a gig of ram and a single hard drive. I am sure the hard disk would be the greatest cause of problems with multiple servers on the one computer. My other computer, which I was going to use as a teamspeak server is a 1.8Ghz pentium 3 with 256megs...

    LAN Party Topology (Help)

    Unfortunately, I dont even have enough game servers. I cant possibly hope to scrounge up two more machines as dedicated fileservers. *tear* Anyone got a machine or two to donate for a day in June for a Milwaukee LAN party?

    LAN Party Topology (Help)

    Good idea RebateMonger I can also have game patches and stuff on an external hard drive that can be passed around. The host of the event has free anti-virus to hand out if anyone wants it. So we can only hope that "passing disks" isn't like passing used needles. =P THanks so much for the...

    LAN Party Topology (Help)

    Well thats good. So besides the initial bottleneck, hopefully IPs wil be divee'd out. If the network goes to crap, the attendees have no one to blame but themselves. Still, i will attempt to moderate what is going on at the event.

    LAN Party Topology (Help)

    So have a 4-port router as the top of the network, with internet coming in. Have two ports populated with my two servers, have the other 2 connect to the switches. Will the DHCP of the router provide IPs to the child switches? http://img373.imageshack.us/my.php?image=networkxo7.jpg

    LAN Party Topology (Help)

    Hrm, is there any way to alleviate this? I cannot possibly afford anything higher than a 100Mbit switch. What kind of topology would be affordably useful? Like, a gigabit switch (4-port) that branches to the 24-port and 16-port? But I mean, I think the fastest each would work is 200Mbit from the...

    LAN Party Topology (Help)

    Hey guys, I have a Netgear Fast Ethernet Switch (FS116) that has 16 ports. Now I am looking to make a 30+ person LAN party and I am worried about networking. I dont want to use routers with my switch because I think their routing tables are going to get F'd, you know? So....I am asking...

    P180 Fan Mount BEFORE Lower HD Cage

    http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=37&threadid=1628729&enterthread=y found the link. Awesome guys. I have really been thinking this over. I mean, there is the power supply issue where the fan may just be a hair too big with all the cables, and having the fan in front would...

    P180 Fan Mount BEFORE Lower HD Cage

    I am really convinced it will do better to get cooler air in the system than with having the fan in the middle. Nothing to substantiate the claim, though. Thanks for the reply, first one so far.

    P180 Fan Mount BEFORE Lower HD Cage

    I saw that there was already a post on this subject and was wondering if anyone came to any definitive conclusion as to whether the space in FRONT of the Lower Hard drive cage in the P180B would support a 120mm or 92mm fan. I was planning on using this space to pull more cool air from the front...

    X850xt on a 2500+?

    If I was you I would just upgrade everything when you can. I mean, that processor is definitely going to be a bottleneck and while the gfx card isn't bad, your computer is going to be very dated in another 9 months. I would put it toward a new rig with pcie and such.

    Constant VPU Recover

    My friend's card did this all the time and it actually wasn't seated totally. Its probably a problem with VPU Recovery if its a known issue, but if you keep having stability problems, just see if you can reseat the card.

    Help My LCD Is Having Problems Running at 75hz on through DVI

    Yeah, but the way LCDs work is different than CRTs. The crystal isn't flickering like a tube in a CRT is, thus refresh rates don't mean quite the same thing. Whats most important is the response time. Refresh rate is to CRT as Response time is to LCD. Tell that to the IOWA test of basic...

    How hard is it to mod a X850XT into single slot?

    I think the heat profile is pretty significant though. How are you going to cool it? This sounds kinda silly, but why not cut the side of the shuttle to fit the cooler? *shrug* I think they put that dual slot cooler on there for a reason, and it would suck to have stability problems because...
