    Computer freezes when minimizing programs

    Well it hasn't locked up at all today so far and I've minimized a bunch of check. So why would the animation cause it to lock?

    Computer freezes when minimizing programs

    Sometimes when I minimize programs windows will sort of freeze, music will keep playing, but it won't advance to the next track and it doesn't respond to keyboard commands and the mouse curser will continue to move unless I start clicking and then it stops and beeps at me once and I can ping it...

    Which is better: 1900XT or 7800GTX 512mb?

    If you want to argue dual gpu configs even a 1800XT is much faster than a gtx 512MB with super aa since SLI antialiasing was just something to try to piss on ati's parade, lucky for ati their 1800/1900 composite chip does superb super aa so there's simply no comparison between the two. With...

    smartpower 2.0 450 enough for a 7800GT rig?

    Unfortunately my dad got me a 500W allied PSU which is not only a single 12V rail but lacking pci-express power connector despite having a 20+4 pin power connector and SATA power connectors (atx specs? who needs em...) So far so good, but the 12V rating is erm... 20 amps to my noisetakers 29...

    smartpower 2.0 450 enough for a 7800GT rig?

    3200+ winchester, 1 evga 7800GT (stock clocks at 445/1070), msi neo4-f, 3 hdds and 1 dvd writer. I ask because I'm having stability issues with a 420watt atx 1.3 noisetaker and enermax wants me to get a new psu (put a ticket thing on website describing my problem) as does corsair since 1...

    Worth trying to exchange my winchester for a venice?

    Somehow I got a winchester a few days at a brick and mortor store even though they're selling athlon64s by their core- venice or sandiego www.mypcparts.com I just send an email about it since I figured I was purchasing a venice core cpu.. So if I can't get them to give me an exchange it for a...

    Bad temps with si 97 and 2500+

    Stock I idle are like 45C. The other day I checked the temp of the pipes and noticed the bottom pipes are much cooler than the top pipes. Should I try mounting it without a shim to see what it does to my temps?

    R520 vs the 6800's? Why would people think this?

    Ati needs higher clock speeds? More like the chips are designed differently. The R420 and all chips based on that are huge on vertex shader speed, while the NV40, and chip based on that are huge on pixel shader speeds. I think anyone with a brain could figure that one out after looking at...

    ati x800 pro question

    the 6800GT is usally less and performs around the same. However some people swear they won't use a 6800GT or 6800 ultra after using an X800 pro or XT.

    Power Consumption?

    Shuttle pcs have beefier PSU that your average PSU of similar rating. It has 16 amps on the 12V, don't worry about it. http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/shuttle_sn95g5_review/page2.asp

    6800-U vs X800-XT

    Where have you seen that?

    X800 XL or X850 Pro

    Uh what? The X850 SHOULD be out there since the point is to get cards out there, which they are doing. The X850 *PRO* is the only card that should cease to exist since it's outperformed by the cheaper X800XL is virtually all cases. The X800XL is nothing like an underclocked X800XT since it's...

    X800XL Agp stats on ati.com, what gives?

    Not really. The higher clocks speeds of the X800XT/PE help it produce frame rates so similar to an ultra that saying an ultra pwns it is just you being a !!!!!!.
