RANT I recently purchased some memory from Newegg and it's hard to tell how the packaging on the memory got cracked. Like it was dropped before it was packaged. I can't tell you how many things I have sent back to Newegg because of warehouse damage. They like to blame UPS even though the box...

Thanks guys! Hopefully everything goes smoothly once I get my parts tomorrow.

I usually lurk the forums since I Google the sh1t out of all my questions but I can't find any information on these. I want to know so I can order the parts I may need ASAP. 1.) Does the Asus Rampage Formula motherboard require shorter MB standoffs because Stack Cool 2 adds another copper...

I had a bad experience with ATI which would not of been so bad but I could not return to Newegg after 30 days. And I hate f'in RMA when the card is only 4 months old and I get some refurbished POS back. I want new. If you look at the warranty for most vid cards at Newegg, the return policy is...

Wipe the drive with some software that follows the DOD standard, Before you put anything else on it. That way all you personal info will be completely wiped. If you're paranoid. I am.

Not saying you can't use something else to back your stuff up but I couldn't find anything as easy as using the one in Vista Ultimate and since it comes with Vista I shouldn't have to worry about compatibility issues. Ultimatley it's up to him what he gets. I am just telling him why I got...

I have Ultimate 64 and I chose Ultimate over premium because it can do a full disk image and not just that lame restore thing that doesn't work half the time. I can backup to DVD or second hard drive or partition. I love it. I can muchk up my system all I want trying drivers and settings out...

Did you purchase an oem vers or retail vers. Not sure if that matters but the download is from the oem builders site. Also the activation thing happens to people who used a crack that has now been patched. But legit versions can have that problem too i've heard. mine didn't ask to reactivate...

I signed up at the oem partner site and am downloading sp1 now. It's the same listed for the torrent. It's free to sign up. Just sign yourself up as a single entity business. If you bought and installed an OEM copy, you are a system builder.

That's insteresting. Maybe the vid driver thinks you are running a 2d app when something pops up in the background. Never thought about that. I haven't had a lot of time lately to play around on my computer but hopefully this weekend this will get taken care of. I have to try the driver and I...

I will try that, thanks.

It has happened in other games too. And I don't mind it is downclocking during menus, but it is doing it in the middle of intense action and my frames take a HUGE DIVE. Ugh...

There is no official bios fix for my card. That one is for the 3870. And I won't put a modded bios on my card unless it is official. warranty and all that you know. but thnaks anyways

EDIT: Unable to view trouble ticket but here are SS. Check out my Trouble Ticket and click on the most recent Everest Beta Log HTML file. It will show that the 3870X2 is switching between 2d and 3d mode thus changing the GPU clock speeds between 297 Mhz and 824 Mhz. I would almost bet my house...

I want to figure out the exact driver version before I install it. After that I will probably do it. As far as sharing, I don't see why not, but it is around 60 MB.
