I just pulled my video card to help troubleshoot someone else's computer and I discovered that theres this brown stuff on my card does not look like it should be there. I have been experiencing unusually low framerates in some source games. I'm wondering if this may be a part of the problem, or...
Just assembled a new build today, but I tried to start it up and it is not POSTing and we're not getting video. The case lights and fans all turn on.
There is a potential for it being damaged statically because some idiot friends of mine could not keep their hands off the hardware. Any...

I found this article interesting and thought I'd share. I wasn't sure where to post it though.

I ordered one of these at newegg earlier today for $135 with their special offer. I cancelled that just now and ordered it from ZZF for a shipped price of $112.10
This is the cheapest I could find this product anywhere.
Target is going to have the Westinghouse 22w3 on sale at Target for $167. I have the 22w2 I picked up at BB last year and I'm debating whether I should pick up another.
I absolutely love my 22w2 but I'm not sure if that's still a great deal like it was last year.
This is how you can get just a few more seconds of gameplay after the final cutscene.
1.) Install the map editor located in /Sandbox2 Installer/
2.) Run editor.exe in /Bin32/
3.) Open the demo map they give you (island.cry) into the map editor.
4.) Navigate to the area where the cutscene...
Ok so I RMA'd some CMX1024-3200C2 RAM @ 2-3-3-6 and they sent me back some CMX1024-3200PT @ 3-3-3-8
Thats a rather large jump in CAS latency. I'm pretty disappointed...
Probably not much I can do though since its DDR1, I'm guessing its out of production. :(
EDIT: everything's good. :D
I have an Opteron 170 with a Tuniq Tower working on the overclock, and I've been getting very inconsistent temps.
Running Prime95 under full load is giving me the following temps:
ASUS Probe II: 52C
ASUS Probe I: 52C
CoreTemp: 58C (core 0) 73C (core 1)
Speedfan: 52C (core 0) 74C (core...

Quite the milestone, I must say. Hopefully having this kind of marketshare will get the rest of the labels to follow EMI and Steve Jobs.:D
I just got a little message from Valve saying that Steam support for Windows 98 and Windows ME will end on June 30, 2007 which means that Steam will no longer be able to run on said systems.

I plan on running a full time CS:S server and playing at the same time on the same box. I currently do this with a 3700 single core but I'm looking to go dual core to improve performance. I was wondering how much performance gain I would get if I switch from my 3700+ o/c'd to 2.72 ghz to this...
In my main box, I have two HD'd, a 320 gig and a 160 gig. I had Windows 32 and 64 bit, plus SuSE 10.1 and Kubuntu 64 bit on there.
On the 160 gig I had: 50 GB primary Windows 32 bit partition, 90 GB Windows 32 bit storage partition, and a 20 GB partition for SuSE.
On the 320 gig I had: 180...
I bought the Logitech X-230 speakers a few weeks before Thanksgiving and they have absolutely great until recently. I think I may have blown the tweeters on them. I have been listening to some music that would be more at risk for blowing speakers (Rammstein :D ) but I would think that they...
I have WinXP x32 on with two partitions and SuSE 10.1 on one of my hard drives and I recently got another hard drive and decided to install WinXP x64 on it for Steam and other miscellaneous things. Well somewhere along the path to 64 bit goodness my 32 bit Windows decided it didn't want to boot...
I just read the IBM Begins Selling Cell Blades article and it got me thinking...would it be possible to run Linux on a PS3? Since the servers IBM will be selling come with FC5, I was wondering if FC5 could run on a PS3 since they're similar processors.
