    Trying to decide on a laptop

    Be careful with the PSP thing from Best Buy. They are likley going to give you a computer with 'similar performance' to the one covered under your PSP. If your laptop is new enough that it is still in stock they will just give you a new one of the same model. If you are doing this online and...

    x1900xt artifacting issues

    A few months ago I started getting artifacting in some of the games I play (ut2004, eve online, supreme commander). They usually consist of texture flickering or distortion and partial large screen flickers. I figured it was because my videocard was overheating so I checked the temp moniter...

    New computer build

    Somehow I knew that my Anti-Intel ways would get me in trouble here. I have personal reasons for disliking Intel as a company. It's not that I'm an AMD "fanboy" its just that they're the only real alternative to Intel. I know in my mind that passing up a faster cheaper CPU is really dumb, but...

    DFI nF4 Ultra-D Problem...please help

    I had the exact same problem. I solved it by bumping the dram voltage up to 3.0 in the bios setting. Also, make sure your SLI jumpers are set right.

    "Official" DFI nF4 Ultra-D / SLI-DR Thread

    I thought DFI had shipped me a bad mobo for 3 hours after trying to get SLI working. Turns out I hadn't plugged in the floppy connector to the motherboard, causing SLI not to work. Now all I need to do is find a copy of windows to install.........

    Anyone else ever felt like calling their ex?

    Call her with a 56k modem. Set up an auto dialer so it dials every 5 minutes.

    So I put my Playstation2 on Craigslist.

    In other news tonight a Fedex employee, a Nigerian terrorist, and President Bush were all harmed when a package supposed to be containing a ps2 exploded in front of the Whitehouse this morning. Western Union has determined that some sort of fraud had taken place during the selling of the PS2...

    2x6800gt vs. 6800U

    New plan: Buy 1 bfg 6800gt and oc it. Somtime down the road I will probably buy a pair of 6800u's or gt's. Maybe even a pair of g70s. But this is about 5-6 months in the future.

    2x6800gt vs. 6800U

    Yeah, the "Right Now" part kind of pisses me off. My Chaintech VNF-250 just up and died on me. Couldn't get it to post. I checked all the potential culprits (ram, cpu) ect... and they were all fine. I RMA'ed the mobo and they returned it saying that they had "fixed" it. The problem still...

    2x6800gt vs. 6800U

    I am a day or two away from buying a new system. I would like to wait untill the g70 comes out but my current comp is broken and having to use the library for 3 months is not the most appealing of ideas. I am getting an sli mobo (msi or dfi) and am trying to decide what video card(s) to...

    Questionable PSU price/wattage?

    Wow, that looks like a nice psu. How do you have your set up for SLI? Adjustable rails must be really nice.

    Questionable PSU price/wattage?

    Hey there. I am currently in the process of getting ready to order a new mobo, cpu, and a pair of gforce 6800gt's for some sweet SLI action. (3 years of saving money required) I am currently running off of a 350w psu that came with my aspire case. 2 sata hd's a dvd drive, a althlon64 3700+...
