https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RdISWkIUmM I hope AMD will partner up with some major case manufacturers to bring this to market. It definitively has the whoa factor. More info from wccftech: http://wccftech.com/amd-intros-project-quantum-powered-dual-fiji-chip/ Dual Fury card under the hood.

I have left my WHS filled all the way up with only 100GB (out of 12TB) of storage left, and it finally crashed/locked up. I then added another 2TB drive but the system is extremely slow whenever I remote desktop it. The console takes forever to show up, and any application I start takes 1-2...

I've had this Core2Quad rig for 5-6 years now and never felt like I needed any extra oomph. With my recent move to Mac, buying a new rig/CPU just for gaming seems a little bit irrelevant. I am just trying to push this rig as far as I can, buy I am just amazed on how far people have been pushing...

I went to the Microcenter in Denver to pick up an iPad 2 and they only had one model available (the black 32G WiFi). They are however giving away $50 vouchers on all the all the other models. The ETA is under a week. So if you are willing to wait a up to a week, you can get $50 off on any models...

Running CrystalDisk, I've noticed a health status on my SSD that keeps deteriorating. I've used this Vertex 30GB extensively on a laptop, then moved it into a WHS box where its initial status was 94%. After a few months of usage in this server environment, the SSD dipped down to 64%. I can't...

The past couple days I played regularly with a guy I met on battle.net. We were on a winning streak, and I thought it always seemed odd that he was able to predict and counter enemy movements. He then revealed me that he was using a map hack in game. I have no idea if he was bullshitting me...

I know it's a three year old game, but does it still hold its own nowadays? At the time, I remember being very impressed with the graphics and art direction. I just didnt want to shell $60 for it back then, and it's now finally on sale at gamestop for $30. Any thoughts? (dont tell me to rent it...

Any of you guys use the Supermicro 5 in 3 cage in Lian Li cases? I was going to jump on one but I've noticed all my Lian Li case have little tabs on the 5.25 trays that may prevent proper fitting. I think I may have to bend or hack them off. Has anyone encountered problems fitting those cages in...

I have built 5 AMD and 3 Intel systems over the past 15 years and I have noticed a trend with the AMD systems, they all died overtime. I have a clean track record on the Intel side. In most of the failures, the CPU was not the culprit but the supporting motherboard. Maybe it's just a strike of...

What are your most memorable and disappointing games? I've been gaming for nearly 20 years now, and can still remember the very first games that I cherished every moment. Post a history of the games that put a mark in your gaming experience, whether they be good or bad. Here is my list of...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K6qoVSyVFY Polish trailer of Heavy Rain. I gotta say, this game looks just amazing to my eyes. This is the game I wanted to play this Christmas. I hope it lives up my expectations.

I am putting a new computer together (i5 750 + Gigabyte UD2) and I am undecided between using 4x2GB sticks vs. shelling some extra cash for 2x4GB sticks. I currently have an E6600 with an Asus P5B Deluxe, and I remember that back in the days, occupying all the memory slots would limit the...

As a PC gamer, I was going to blindly say that the PC version is the definitive ultimate version because of discrete graphics and support of mouse & keyboard. To even the field in favor of the X360, you can use mouse/kb inputs via adapters like XIM. or just get used to the controller :p...

I am about to take the plunge on the MadCatz SF4 TE stick. I know the Xbox and PS3 versions are both compatible with PC, but are they compatible between each other? Can I just plug the PS3 version into a X360 and have everything running just fine?

I saw a trailer for Heavy Rain back at E3'08 but it really didn't pick my attention since I thought it was just about quicktime events. Fast forward a year, the game reappears during GamesCom'09, but I had played Indigo Prophecy in the mean time. Lets just say the new trailer had a more...

My system: Asus P5B-D Intel E6600 2GB OCZ 1066 DDR2 SLi edition eVGA 880GT SSC Everything runs stock This problem occured to me a couple months ago, but I didn't pay much attention to it back then. Occasionally, my computer would not turn itself off after I shut it down from...

A couple stuff I have for sale. Please, no lowball offer. -Bioshock game for PC (DVD). Retail boxes, DVD, and manual. $25 shipped -MSI (built by) X1900XT 512MB PCI-e retail, with original box, adapters, cd drivers. Works great! SOLD! Thanks for looking!

Have you guys tried to uninstall your copy of Bioshock? I went ahead and uninstalled mine before swapping video cards and reformatting, and the uninstaller just wiped it out of my hdd, without calling home. From my understanding, their system is supposed to keep track of the number of times...

All from Denver, Colorado. Nikon D40+30mm/18-55mm or Fuji F30 shots Enjoy.

My P5B-D intermittently locks up at the windows boot screen whenever I power it up from the power button. It never happens when rebooting or pushing the reset button. Is there a fix around this? I run everything at stock and default settings. E6600 P5B-D (C1, 0910 BIOS) 2GB OCZ 1066...

Just a couple pics to give you an idea of the hell I just went through last wednesday ;) Cheers. And here are a few snapshots of Denver, right after the blizzard hit us.

I am currently working on a new serie of photos that will cover the light rail train system of Denver, and its surrounding areas. I am still debating on which dSLR to get to finish the shooting in low light situation, but here is a sneak preview of what I have done so far. Taken with a...

Just got back from downtown Denver with my trusty Fuji F30 for another try at night photography. Enjoy! Comments and critiques are welcomed! The lightrail at Mineral station: Convention center: Amish woman waiting for the lightrail: Mr. Frosty at Starbutts...

This is my very first try at photography. Pics were taken downtown Denver with a Fuji F30 without tripod. A lot of the shots were blurry, but a few stood out. Post processed with Adobe Element.

Hi, From what I read, you cannot overclock Core 2 Duo CPU with cheap ram as the P965 and 975X chipsets do not support memory divider. You cannot run the FSB faster than the ram, which has to run 1:1. Can anyone demystify the statement above? Also, I came across some BIOS screenshots...

Well, holyshit? That's how a next-gen game should look like. Hope it's gonna be good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DetnKgOxrSI&eurl=

I just got the chance to play with a Mac G5 with an Apple Cinema Display, and the text looked so crisps, the color so vibrant that it made all the previous PC monitor I have seen so bland. Is it just the display, or maybe the OS? I have used my fair share of LCD monitors (Gateway FDP2185W...

Anything from a 9500 up to a 9800, with a still healthy fan. I am looking to spend from 30 to 40 shipped depending of the type of card. Cheers!

THREAD UPDATED Check it out, tons of new stuff for sale that I need to get rid of. dvds, games, cds, computer systems etc... OKAY... I made a mega update of the junk I need to get rid of. This stuff has been piling up for years and has been a hassle everything I am moving to a new place to...

Those two ones are pretty much the same CPU, right? The monarch deal on this opteron 146 CPU seems to sweet to be real, is there a catch somehwere?

Which one would you rather have? A high end CPU or GPU? I'd rather be stuck with a 2 years old CPU than a 2 years old GPU, but then again, CPUs dont progress as fast as GPUs Some pertinent graphs for gaming here, discuss. Games vs CPU Games vs GPU

I currently have an A64 3800 X2 in which I am kind of disappointed as I can't seem to clock it higher than 2.4GHz with 1.5v. Everyone seems to be raving about the new opteron 170, and its price isn't bad at all for what you get, but taking for account the $380 I already spent on the X2, the...

I just upgraded to an SLI configuration and have been plagued with sudden reboots when gaming. I currently only have HL2 installed, but the game would freeze or the computer would just reboot itself after loading the intro screen. The computer is unstable in SLI mode only. I have noticed...

Hi, eVGA propose quite a few 7800GT card in their catalogue, and they all have slight difference such as different core/memory speeds. Some of them have a different part number but yet show the exact same specs, which makes it even more confusing. Here's a listing of what they are...

How well does it perform? I am getting a 3800 X2 and would like to know if I can achieve a mild overclocking (2.4 GHz) with it without getting the CPU overheated. Anyone got picture of how the stock cooler looks like? Much appreciated.
