    Arctic Silver thermal compound

    Well i didnt notice much difference after a few minutes on the first boot, but i'll try leaving my computer on for a while to "bake" the compound. Also i cant help wondering if maybe i put too much. I tried hard to spread it as thin as i could while still covering the entire CPU core...

    Arctic Silver thermal compound

    I recently (about 3 days ago) bought a syringe of Arctic Silver 3 to put on my CPU core and i was wondering how long it takes to achieve thermal conduction and maximum conductivity...basically how long it's supposed to take before i notice a drop in my CPU's temperature. I have an AthlonXP...

    DSL Questions

    In your situation most people would probably recommend you trying a wireless network setup. Although sometimes they can be a bit unstable when it comes to ping times in games and connection speeds. I've always used cables to connect on my home network but i've known people that have complained...

    Bad 3dmarks01 points :(

    I started a thread for this sort of discussion here but no one seems to be using it. ;(

    *benchmark thread*

    To answer your question He@t, that's an expected score for a Ti4600. 3dmark2003 is a directx 9 based benchmark and your Ti4600 is not a directx 9 card, it cannot process the directx 9 features in the test well that's why your score is low. And yes, if you upgraded to a 9800XT you would be able...

    *benchmark thread*

    Well if that's the case here then i'm sorry but this forum is full of immature little brats. These kinds of threads can prove useful if people use them right. For example, person A's computer has the same specs as person B's computer, but person B's computer scores a couple of hundred points...

    *benchmark thread*

    Seen a lot of sweet rigs here at this forum and i was interested in seeing what they can do for benchmark scores in 3dmark '01 (build 330) & '03 (build 340). And maybe the UT2003 benchmark.exe if you have it. I know actual ingame performance is what really matters especially after all that...

    Hardware Question (Video Cards)

    If you NEED a new video card RIGHT now, go for the 9800 Pro 128. if your current video card is cutting it for you now, i'd suggest waiting until games like Half Life2 are released because that's when you'll need it and it will most likely be cheaper or the XT will be in your price range.

    My HL2 rig

    My Half-Life2 rig, although back in September i wish i believed the rumor mill that it was going to be delayed and decided to hold off on my upgrade. Oh well... AthlonXP 3000+ 400 FSB (stock speed at the moment) Asus A7N8X 2.0 Deluxe motherboard 2x512mb Corsair pc3200 DDR RAM 400MHz ATI...

    Virus Question

    Although i've heard there's better AV software than Norton out there, i've been pretty satsified with Norton 2002 since i started using it 2 years ago. Before these Trojans Norton found the other day, i've only been infected with a virus one other time since using Norton 2002. Also i use a...

    Virus Question

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I downloaded this program Trojan Remover. It's supposed to be good for removing trojans that Norton cant fix or quarantine. I will keep this for any future problems. As for the ones i have quarantined now, i'll just go ahead and delete them. I had a friend of...

    Virus Question

    Thanks for the reply Nspire, so if Norton identifies them all as Trojans then they are not really infected files that were originally on my PC, but files that were downloaded? In that case i will just delete them. Shuzer, the files are as follows: Unknown0000.data you[1].htm you[1].js

    Virus Question

    Thanks for the reply Shuzer. Well all three of them are Trojans.:\ Which i thought can open up to something worse (hence the name). But let me see if i got you right...if they're in quarantine they're no longer being used?, so if i leave them there for a week or so and everything seems to...

    Virus Question

    Hi all. My PC was acting strange yesterday doing things it doesnt normally do like programs were not responding and i had to "end now" and it was taking an unusually long time to shut down so i ran a full system scan with Norton AV 2002 and i had 3 infected files. ;( Norton was unable to...

    Cheapest Mobo/CPU upgrade?

    Since i prefer AMD, i'll recommend them. Of course the Intel users will recommend their favs and then you'll have another choice on your hands. But for that money you can get some pretty nice components. Since the 2500+ CPU's multipliers are locked now, i'd recommend an AthlonXP 2800+, you...

    Something that's bothering me with the new forum setup

    Like i said earlier, it would be great if the mods could set it up so that we could have the option in our user cp to set it either way. Options are good, they make everyone happy.:)

    Something that's bothering me with the new forum setup

    If you honestly dont care either way then just dont vote. If you're lazy, this should be the ideal option for you anyway.

    Something that's bothering me with the new forum setup

    Hmm...i dont have the exact measurements of how the old way was but i cant say that i agree with it taking up less vertical space this way. And if you want to get an idea of how many people dont care, compare the amount of total votes so far with the amount of views this thread got and that...

    Ah yes, an option for either way. Then everyone would be satisfied.
