    Gigabyte controller or Intel ICH9R?

    The motherboard I have is a Gigabyte P35-DS3R v2.0. What I'd like to know is if I will get the best performance using the ICH9R chipset or the Gigabyte chipset? Offhand I'd say the ICH9R seems a little quicker. I know the ICH9R is much improved over the older ICH8. I had a 965P-DS3 and...

    What's the latest on the Samsung 226BW panel lottery?

    Does anybody know if they are they still making these lcd's with the S, A, and C panels? I did read that they were possibly going for a forth one that was even cheaper and output worse colour representation. Perhaps people aren't complaining enough?... :( Anyway just wondering what the outcome...

    BenQ FP241W v FP241W Z

    From what i've read here at the forums these lcd's are top notch. Here in Australia they only appear to market the FP241W. From what i can gather the difference between the two said monitors is that the Z version has PerfectMotion Technology which sounds advantageous as i want this new monitor...

    Gigabyte Odin GT

    I've seen reviews of this PSU going around and it mentions that the software included isn't so accurate in its determination of power (W) used. I am thinking about buying one if there has been any software updates correcting this problem. Does anybody know if this is the case? Thumbs up to...

    What is the default fan duty cycle for a 8800GTS

    I just bought a Leadtek 8800GTS 640MB. The default low level fan duty cycle is set at 60%. I read once that this is lower than normal so i'm wondering what is the NORMAL default if this is the case. If someone who hasn't changed their settings could check with RivaTuner for me, that would be...

    Lian Li PC-007 and PC-60+ differences

    Can someone confirm with me that these cases are of the same design? Dimensions and look appear to be. I'm upgrading to a new case to go with my yet to be purchased Enermax 500w Liberty PSU. If i get either case (prefer the PC-007 actually as it has 2x 120mm) i'm going to replace all fans with 3...

    Win XP Pro SP2 loads until the destop then hangs...

    All was fine and well with SP2 until about 1 week ago. It boots up ok until it reaches the desktop whereby it will pause and do nothing except some HDD activity. I can move the mouse but no right click, no menu access and no desktop icons are present. A quick CTRL+ALT+DEL and a logoff then back...

    I'm looking to upgrade my PC to a socket 939 system and am currently looking at the A8V Deluxe.

    Do u own an Asus V9280 ti4800 ?

    I own an Asus V9280 S2 Superfast ti4800se video card, and currently run it at 275/600 stock settings. I thought it was reasonable to think that the core could run half of the clock speed, so 300mhz is possible in theory. What are you other fellas running yours at??? cheerios.
