    Watch Now and Component Video Output

    Having recently completed a media center build, I noticed that Netflix’s “Watch Now” service would authenticate over DVI and Analog, but would not over HDTV component video output. I reported the issue to Netflix who responded that they would report the issue to Microsoft Engineers who were...

    WHO LOVES WOW!

    No matter how you look at it 30 seconds is sustained DPS. Burst damage is considered anything down in 5 seconds or less, which is why Rogues are considered the masters of BURST dps. Mages deal great damage but dont underestimate a warlock that is well played. This was not a post to start some...

    WHO LOVES WOW!

    You will find that more and more as most warlocks have went the +shadow (+dmg) builds. We lose lost the HP/Mana but the 700-900 shadowbolts without curse of shadows or crits included on each and every shadowbolt more then makes up for it in the long run. You will hear of these massive crits from...

    Why does BF2 look AND run like crap for me?

    BF2 plays fine on my machine a little laggy at times but that is because my wife is streaming ManiaTV but other then that I havent had any issues. OC on the 9600XT and OC on the AMD 2200+ gives me some decent FPS. Nothing to brag about but something that lets me enjoy the game at standard...

    Newb WOW question

    There is a formula floating around that gives the ~proc of an enchant. (To be fair it was basically a guy that took each enchant and went around taking 100 swings with each enchant) I know that warlocks chance on proc for firestone has been changes to about 33% on each swing and has been...

    Multitasking while playing: How do you handle it?

    I run WOW in windowed mode and have no problems at all. The odd thing about this situation is if I window and then just use the taskbar to bring up a webpage or to switch songs in Winamp on the same LCD, I have no problem. But if I use the other monitor to do the same thing I get serious slow...

    More than 1GB (2 x 512Mb)

    I snagged my wifes memory (long bottleneck story) and I have 3 sticks of 512mb ram. I went up like 6% in pcmark and aquamark with the extra 512mb of memory. Nothing impressive but atleast I didnt lose % ditching dual channel mode. If you can afford it go with the 4x512. I dont know about...

    Mini Upgrade

    Well I ran sisoft and came up with a SEVERE bottleneck with the ram. The pc3200 was not even running close to 3200 more like 2100 ram. I replaced it with my wifes ram and put mine in hers (have to love that) and I am running at a steady 45fps in WOW and an even better FPS in far cry and HL2...

    Mini Upgrade

    I do overclock. I am around 1.95 ghz on my 2200+ Anyone know when Dual core does come out? I was looking at the cost of the XP chips which are not that bad, but when I factor in what say a 64 chip costs and they are near the same it is SAD. Guess all I want is more FPS. Anyone think that...

    Mini Upgrade

    Ok, like most others I want to get the dual-cores but my system is falling behind when I am editing video to make course work and for gaming it works great till the screen fills up and it drops to terrible FPS. My work computer handles most of the video editing and content creation but my home...

    Vonage: VoIP - Who has it? What do you think?

    I use vonage for work and for home. I do a lot of traveling to conferences and I am still able to log onto conference calls and to check my office voice mail from my computer.

    Computer Randomly Reboots, Usually When Teamspeak Is On

    Check the sound card. There might be an issue with the processing of the game audio and the audio from TS. If you can run TS fine within windows and play any audio sample then, it is something within the game audio processing that is causing the crash. I noticed that running TS and WOW causes...
