Just like the title, I'm not sure how I got my monitor into 1:1 pixel mapping @ 1600x1200 for WC3. I had it like that before on my G92, but now it's back to 1920x1200 on my 4870x2. I go to the menu on the monitor, but I can't access the display mode controls, they are grayed out. I'm running a...

GG ATI, my card came and does not fit into my motherboard (P5Q Deluxe). I can't believe this. There's two caps right at the edge of the board that it seems to hit. My 8800gts g92 fits fine, but I can't seem to get the back part of the card into the PCI-E slot. Idk if it's ATI or Asus's fault...

Let's see, here are the cards that I actually remember. 1) Geforce Riva TNT2 (this was before I knew anything about computers) 2) Geforce 4 Ti4600 (with Tt Orb cooler and ram heatsinks on my custom Voodoo F-Class ~ 2000 for $4300) 3) Geforce 6800Ultra AGP 8x (first built computer with an...

Hi, I have a P182SE and I'm trying to fit the back side panel on, but some of the sata cable end pieces are too thick, causing a buldge (and I broke 3/6 cheap ass plastic links off and am now waiting for my super glue to dry). So my question is, can I cut the plastic end pieces off and not cause...

Hi, I'm presenting an accounting case on Samsung memory. Basically, the case revolves around their decision to ceed the lower market segment (DDR1 ~2004) to the Chinese who are selling at below cost (due to the strong government support) and focus on the high end (DDR2). Anyways, I wanted to...

So does anyone know how the 1:1 pixel mapping works on a DVI and/or why my VGA doesn't work? I may be returning if it's just a bad port

Ok, when I connect the D-Sub cable to my 7600GS it doesn't recognize any input. The DVI works fine, but the VGA does not. I need the VGA for 1:1 pixel mapping right, as display options are disabled with my DVI. Please help

Question, can you just take a loaded hard drive and plug it into a new computer or do you have to erased the partitions and install a fresh OS?

I'm in dire need on a public computer. I hooked up my system with all brand new gear as follows: E8400 P5Q-D Corsair 4gb DDR2 Dominators 8800GTS (G92) Xonar D2X and I then plugged in my Raptor 150GB that has XP (32-bit) from my old system in SATA1(top red one). The system loads the...

I'd recommend a V2400W. I'm actually expecting mine within the hour. @ $409 (before s/h) it's a STEAL. Image is more important to me than the "actual image" as odd as that sounds. Very few will be able to tell the difference btwn the WD vs. the V series's performance but I'm sure you'd get the...

I'm thinking the last week of July will be a soft release to put pressure on nVidia who will in turn lower the GTX280 to $550 (assuming it's ~= to the 4870X2 & has the benefit of being a single GPU) to the 4870X2's $500 tag. Then it will take 2 weeks for the X2 to actually hit shelves. Just a...

Well it bit the dust a month ago and I replaced it with the only AGP 8x card I could find locally (7600GS). Currently I'm running an FX53 (cost over $800 back in June 04') with an A8V-D, Corsair 2GB 2-2-2-5 DDR400s, in a Silverstone tower. My other system (build a few month afterwards)...

ITT we post pics of our P5Q's. NewEgg delivered a day early AND my 8am class got canceled today! What a pro day. Anyways, without further ado, the first shipment of my new build since my 6800 Ultra. Group shot P5Q-D pr0n My $150 (Olive you NewEgg!) 8800GTS (G92) vs. the late $600...

slide doesn't look 3d to me, but then again i need sleep too. Anyways, the 4870 looks great! If it beats the GTX260 then I can't wait to see it crossfired, but more importantly the X2!11!1

Ya I'm going with an X2 or a GTX280 when it drops to $500 in august. Apparently the p45 blows at crossfire with the top cards and I need the bottom Pci-e for my Xonar D2X anyways. I think the p45 will OC better than the X48 b/c it's cooler so I'm fine with that as I don't play too many games.
