    Microsoft Windows Vista

    I had more problems with Windows 98 than I ever had with XP. In fact...I don't think I've had any problems with XP. XP x64 I had a few problems, but that's given since not much driver support is up for it. I'm running XP Pro SP2 with NOD32 antivirus and it runs smooth as eggs. I'm looking...

    Really, really hot

    I have a 7800 GTX and I idle at 37 and never go above 40 under load. but then again, I have water cooling.

    Got a question

    If you can, upgrade your CPU. I'm guessing it's a P4 Socket 478. Just go to newegg.com and find a socket 478 P4. Then you can get that X700 and games should run pretty good.

    Got a question

    I had an X700 PCI Express and an AMD 4000+ and HL2 ran fine...so I guess he would need more processing power.

    Anyway to repair a flash drive?

    It came free with my AMD Processor, so I doubt I can send it back (Newegg.com) since it's been since May since I ordered it. Oh well, just gotta throw it out. I want to get a 1GB flash drive anyway. Thanks for the help :)

    Anyway to repair a flash drive?

    It gets detected, it just says "Unreadable". If the drive is corrupted that's fine, but if I can fix it that would be a little better. Edit: The drive won't format either.

    Anyway to repair a flash drive?

    It's not a big deal since it's only 128MB, but I guess I somehow removed my flash drive too soon from a PC I was working on (it was like 5 minutes after the file transfer) and now my PC won't read my flash drive. Is there anyway to recreate the partition or w/e a flash drive uses? I couldn't...

    Do PCIX motherboards work with AGP cards?

    You can always cut the PCI Express card to fit the AGP slot *Hint: DO NOT DO THAT, I saw on another forum where a kid did that. Don't know if he did or not,but if he did....he's a dumb dumb. The pic could've been photoshopped. But to get back on topic, AGP will not fit PCI Express

    ATI's cards will own

    Here's what nVidia plans to do I bet...as you know the 7800 GTX has A LOT of power behind it. What if...nVidia is actually holding back that power with a driver and after ATI releases their card...nVidia releases a driver that will unlock the true potential. I actually heard this from my...

    New video card, shitty performance. :|

    I doubt it's the PSU. I used to get at least 170+ with EVERYTHING on high (cept v sync which is off) but even in the nVidia tweak settings with the CS profile on high I would still get at least 170+ and 1280x1024. I'm even overclocked to 496Mhz Core and 1.3GHz memory. My 4800+ is OCed to 2.9...

    Has DOD Source been leaked?

    well he could've made a fake account, that's how the other "illegal" copies work. A friend of mine has an illegal copy and he can play all games online. He's into VB and coding and stuff and found out some port to block that will let him play. I thought that was pretty interesting, but I paid...

    new update (HDR)

    500mb? That's nothing. And even if it's 4GB it'll take me like...an hour to download it.

    Make the switch to DFI or MSI?

    well i'd like to run dual channel, and the CPU voltage won't let me go that high. Since I got my 4800+ my board restricted me more.

    Make the switch to DFI or MSI?

    k, most of the top benchmarks were DFI and MSI.

    Make the switch to DFI or MSI?

    I'm fed up with my A8N-SLI Deluxe...it's a great board, but I can't OC or anything really. I can't run my memory dual channel (yes I got a dual channel kit and I've read my manual) and the chipset fan is going bad (I've read this on many forums that it is faulty.) Anydangway, I was thinking...
