    Single 5770 only running at x8

    Just built a new computer, and I after having a lot of fun messing around with my CPU, I found out that my Radeon HD 5770 is running at PCI-Express 2.0x8 instead of x16. This is confirmed by both the information in my Catalyst 10.1 drivers and in CPU-Z; the link width is only x8 and the max...

    Help choosing mobo for i5 build

    Yeah I wanted to wait a few months and do what you're suggesting, go with a 1366 and get an i7, but the graphics card in my current setup just died so I'm in a catch22. I might be able to survive a month or so if the prices are going to drop, but its going to be tough. My current options are...

    Vista x64 Mouse Acceleration

    With Windows XP and Windows XP x64, I was able to use the "CPL Mouse Fix" which to my understanding editing the registry file and took out mouse acceleration. I loved no acceleration and grew very accustomed to it not being there. I think Vista handles mouse acceleration in a different way...

    Winamp Volume Issue

    Whenever I change the volume of Winamp, the volume of my Ventrilo (for example) also changes in proportion to the adjustment in Winamp. If no music is playing when I change the volume, nothing changes in Ventrilo, but the second I hit play the adjustment is immediately made to my Ventrilo. This...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Thanks for your help, I'll probably grab the 90GX2. I decided that the 1280x1024 max resolution wasn't a big deal :)

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    I have been "CRT for life" in the past, because LCD monitors could never give me what I needed for gaming. Recently, friends of mine have bought LCDs that have impressed me to some degree, and I get tired of carrying around my gigantic CRT when I need to. I need an LCD that allows me to game and...

    Router Problem?

    I connected to the router through my explorer and cloned the Mac address earlier, but to no avail. I will try it again, however. Edit: Same bad news :(

    Router Problem?

    I get back home from college, and my father informs me that he lost internet a week ago. He "fixed" the problem by taking the router out of the equation and connecting right to the cable modem. Problem solved. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as "the router is broken." I tried a different...

    Core 2 Duo Build Help

    This will be my second build. My original budget was around $1300, maximum $1500, but I think I am choosing parts that will send me over my budget :P This machine will be used for pretty much everything, but I am a gamer first and foremost. I plan on overclocking. I am kind of out of the loop...

    Thought my PSU was dead, but oddly enough...

    I have never had heat problems, and the computer hadn't been running for more than a few hours. I tried booting up without power to the processor and it wasn't lasting long. We took everything out, and the same thing would happen. This leaves only the motherboard to blame.

    Thought my PSU was dead, but oddly enough...

    I originally posted this, but after trying my power supply in my friend's computer we found that it still worked. I guess that leaves the motherboard. There are no signs of damage, and I was just curious what the problem could be. Is there anything I can do/test?

    Signs of a dying PSU?

    I was watching a movie on my PC, when my screen went black. About a second after the screen goes black, the rest of my computer shuts off. Whenever I try to start my computer back up, the fans and lights inside my case come on for about 1 to 1.5 seconds, and then shut right back down again. I...

    512mb vs 256mb

    I was curious how much of a performance increase there is going from a 256mb video card to a 512mb video card (gaming performance). Also, there is a small selection of 512mb cards, will this change in the next few months to come?

    RAAAAAAAID!!!!!

    Get a 10,000 RPM and you'll be set, but as Agent11 mentioned with the SCSI they are a little more expensive. (I have seen the ~40GB 10K RPM drives for around $100 as of late)
