Hey, I found out (was news to me anyway) that win 7 is okay with amd and nvidia gpus, so I have one 4770 back in use for my 3rd LCD, just installed the AMD driver only and use win7 display panel to have it extended correctly. Nice! I've recycled the other one into another house PC which had...

got the card, very impressed, fast, quiet, cool, see 30degC idle 60game so far. I like the MSI afterburner software too, used it before crysis 2 looks amazing, i'm on 1650x1080 so its no bother for the 560 thanks again

Fk it, I went for the MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Twin FrozR II, I had reconfigured my screens anyway with one on laptop and 2 on desktop, and wanted to see physics, plus I remember when playing crysis warhead had shimmering on the CF setup, so want to see what a single card does. Almost went for...

thanks for your help thats a strange differential to AMD which I thought they'd have filled by now. I may just sit with these and wait for 6950s to come down a bit in price, as I need to keep 3 panels

thanks I found a vantage comparison (on another site so wont link) to help me decode the new cards hierarchy, and the 4770s give me P13977 on overclock which means I have to get better than an 6850 1gb to get a step up, think thats about P14198 Do you know if the 560ti (~P17912) will let...

I have crossfired 2x4770s and run 3 x 1680x1050 LCDs which are DVI input Looking to upgrade (casual gamer but looking at ~£200 price point), any single card recco which would be a good upgrade? I'm not bothered if ATI or Nvidia >just like quiet and cool, fast, and be able to connect to 3...

I remeber really enjoying max payne 1 and recently loaded max payne 2, it took a while to get it to run under win7 x64 but run it did. Waste of time, really crap, you really do remember things differently

thanks to technet, just upgraded to 2010, like everything so far painless upgrade process too

nice laptop :)

Is there anyway to set the time/date different inside of my virtual machine, different from the host win7 machine? I dont need to have integration features enabled if thats an issue, thinking maybe theres software that can do it? I want to run some software that the licence will expire soon...

I don't know a lot about this, but I can share the little I found out myself. I was wanting to take a VHD of an image of an existing hard drive and to be able to use it within vitual PC, or any other software, not as a native boot. I couldnt find out how to do it, and so instead had to build an...

this is how mine are arranged for work, no eye infinity, crossfire 4770s no eye strain ;)

keep an eye on technet , you get everything and as many licences as you need for a little over $200 sometimes read the thread to gen up http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1484989&highlight=technet best kept software secret

I downloaded the new drivers and the crossfire profile update. Dumb question, but didn't see it in the thread, any guide as to how to use this feature? I am playing MW2 right now, everything I got is running through steam. Do they come from AMD website, steam, we set them up ourselves, or...

forgot this link http://www.instructables.com/id/Download_Windows_7_Ultimate_Beta_Trial_For_Free/ from google download windows 7 ultimate trial

can't you download it or a release candidate somewhere from microsoft and then upgrade that download with your key? from google search http://www.winplanet.com/article/4503-.htm

when I got mine, at the 'out of the box' settings, I noticed the panel trait with a difference in whites from left to right, very slight, but noticeable if for instance, you have a white document spanning 2 LCDs in landscape mode. Mine are triple portrait and one landscape so can't see it any...

yeah they are great ;) I spend a lot of time in front of the screens with work and stock trading and never get eye strain. I use a lot of white and light background in apps and I couldnt do that with my old TNs, because of the viewing angles for one thing

Naw don't think so, after the intial geek thrill, I didn't notice anything different myself playing MW2, and powerstrip is a pain. I uninstalled powerstrip and am back to 60Hz. maybe use someday if a game needs it. I also had problems getting more than one screen @75Hz with crossfire enabled...

I finally setup 75Hz on my panels, actually just hit a random page in the thread and found toastyX 's post Using windows 7 x64 and powerstrip, followed this (googled guide) http://www.ramelectronics.net/powerstrip.ep to set up a custom resolution. Interestingly enough I can't set...

Crysis Warhead

I got the end result which I wanted, although went about it a different way I was able to change the hard disk serial number using a free utility for Xbox (google it). That ment I could build a replacement image from scratch as licence is checked against disk serial ID. Then i was able to move...

I'd like to retract my suggestions, I needed to recover an image the other day and it fkd my machine up big time Read through the acronis forums and see that true image 2010 does not work with windows ultimate, even although acronis will not admit it. Stay away from buying until their forums...

I like ie8 but I have turned off accelerators, etc I always install flash and java in new OS Maybe your opening IE64? flash doesnt work in that, and it'll crash. I think it only works in x64 in a mozilla beta

I am trying to mimic my xp pro work laptop image on xpmode in win7. The idea is to be able to run software within xp mode from win7 99% of the time I only need win7 as everything else works fine for me. The software i am stuck on has a license file tied in to the host id of the laptop. I can...

another thing that just came to me, I run Esignal and the company say to run it in XPsp3 compatibility mode, to do that right hand click on the shortcut (if it lets you install it, that is) properties, compatibility, tick XP sp3 for dual booting I use easybcd http://neosmart.net/forums/ have...

I have not tried it but I have read that if you boot into a virtual drive from the boot loader then the full pc components are available to the VHD XP, so maybe thats a way to get XP. Limitation is that is similar to a dual boot setup, you'd need to reboot out to get to win7, so if your trying...

see this thread from post 12, and check which build you have http://forum.acronis.com/forum/5399 I have win7 x64 (with system restore off) and acronis 2010 build 6053. No problems with backup to second internal system drive, 530gb backup takes about 90mins with priority set at high It sounds...

I leave it as is except... I switch off system restore completely, and set user accounts pop up to off. I don't like like pauses when OS does restore points, instead I backup with acronis 2010 to a separate drive. blackviper was useful in the past with xp when trying to squeeze some omph out...

thanks treyshadow yes, I got 2nd hard drive with the XP in my laptop using the ide adapter I did the disk2VHD thing today but it wont boot in virtual machine. I spent a lot of time on google but can't find any good guides. From what I have read it appears its possible, by doing something with...

I run win7 x64 ultimate and got duped into the acronis 2010 upgrade I say duped as the marketing material implies that you can back up to a vhd file and then simply use that vhd in virtual machine. This is not the case, yes you can make backups to a VHD but can only use for backups or (what I...

Here are some links for overclocking the 720 BE http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Ha...d_phenom_8750/ http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=3512&p=11 http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1489&pageID=6350 http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...px?i=3492&p=11 can't remember if I...

We did a similar build a few months ago, recycled some of the missus' old dell 8300 into an Asus AMD build I can vouch for that line of motherboards, cheap and fast, very similar to my P5Q build in real world speed, plus the bios unleash option unlocked the 3rd core of the 720 auomatically...

max payne2, civ4 pack . Enjoyed maxp1 years ago, never tried the civ series

frigg, sent my brother bioshock the other day for about 9quid, bought it for myself again for 4quid today probably my favourite game ever, this time I'll play it on the 'evil' side. Bioshock 2 coming out on Feb10th so time to get in the mood again :) definitely worth checking daily deals

I love these steam sale periods, most of the nearly new titles will even run great on my laptop. Bit for: Grid, BF2, Osmos, Silent Hunter 3 and 4, Hawx, dead space and red faction guerilla. Not playing any of them right now, started the new COD which was cheaper retail, but steam runs it so...

in age order: unreal command & conquer tiberian wars far cry call of duty 2 bioshock crysis warhead but would have to say overall Bioshock for originality and hillarity

Nice one, I think a lot of these BE X3 720s are actually good 4 cores, just routed for demand

didn't have any issues here, maybe server got busy? try later Loving it, got windows 7 ultimate 64bit and office 2007 ultimate, just going through all the house machines switching from vista to win7
