Awesome. Now I have a question about the RAM, because I have been looking for this exact model for awhile now... How does it overclock in the board? I'm currently running a 2 GB kit of Corsair TwinX in this exact same mobo but I can't get it to overclock to more than 215 mhz stable...

Is the RAM still up for sale? I saw that someone had "dibbs" on it... but if that falls through, let me know. Also, is the RAM you're selling the RAM that you had in when you took the screenshot with CPU-z?

Anyone have any seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm you're willing to part with? If so, let me know because I don't have any of them!

I am programming in C and I want to use a Linked List to store some data for my program, but I don't want to have to write the add, remove, search, etc. functions for it. I am relatively new to this language, but I have done lots of programming in Java and usually just use the Linked List from...

Not to thread-jack, but how about for the Antec P180? I have a Scythe Ninja cooler on my CPU, a fan to the right (pointed toward the front of the case) pushing air through the fins and an exhaust fan in the back. I was thinking about putting another fan on the top vent to blow air IN...

Has anyone had any experience with this RAM on the ASUS A8N-SLI Premium board? http://www.corsairmemory.com/_datasheets/CMX1024-3200C2.pdf I'm currently running the latest stable BIOS (1009) and cannot get the RAM to be stable at anything over 215Mhz at stock voltage (2.7 V), which is...

Best game to play while you're getting drunk: Guitar Hero Best game to play when you're drunk: Fuzion Frenzy - hands down.

So is there a deal going on like this anymore, or am I going to have to go with the older, crappier, more expensive version from Best Buy?

What is the difference between the one mentioned in this thread and this one that is on sale at Best Buy this week?: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6211752&st=targus+chill&type=product&id=1074788100200 Has anyone had any experience with this one? Also, all of the deals...

Sorry for the dumb question, but how do you recommend that I "benchmark" my games? Record in FRAPS? Or what is common to do to test that? And do you mean just go in and manually set the affinity to use one core, benchmark it, then leave it "normal" (presumably both cores), and benchmark...

So, just in general, if a game is actually "using" both cores, what will the CPU Usage look like in the Task Manager? One core maxed, the other one at or near zero? Both cores around 50%? I'm wondering because Company of Heroes and Quake 4 (who are both supposed to take advantage of dual...

No, for some reason, after putting in my new memory, I cannot push my FSB any higher than about 250mhz. With my old RAM, I had it set at 296Mhz STABLE with a 333 divider on the memory to put it a little under 250. I have been running like this for the past 4 months, stable, and Primed for 48...

So I just upgraded to 2 Gigs (finally) of CMX1024-3200C2PT (a TwinX kit of 2 x 1024) only to find that it will not overclock very well at ALL. By this, I mean that setting the FSB to 225Mhz (DDR450) will cause my memory to fail memtest on the first of second pass on Test #5. My old RAM (a...

Yeah, I understand, and thanks for the tips. I was just commenting on how different the game looks. Looks like I can get about 20-30 fps with medium to high settings on everything and object dynamic lighting (NOT full dynamic lighting), but it runs very choppy. Just ordered a second gig of...

Okay, this is an interesting thing... I tried running it by setting the affinity manually and running only on one core. It seemed to run smoother and I was getting much higher framerates (approximately 10 fps higher, plus it was smooth). I then switched the affinity back to normal (both...

Haha... very true. It looks absolutely TERRIBLE with static lighting. It really doesn't even look like the same game!

Yes; directly from the game's README: "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl should utilize your dual and quad core processor natively and automatically. Running a dual or quad core processor is one of the best ways to improve performance." Sounds like it should to me, even without getting...

Is it really true that it cannot hurt? I thought, from skimming the sticky mentioned, that getting that patch could potentially harm performance in other games while helping in others. Or did you mean that it cannot hurt STALKER more than it already has been? I'm not really worried about...

Yes, I have heard that that can potentially cause problems for other games though. Since I have had no issues with other games thus far, I don't really want to install the patch, mess up a bunch of my other games, and then *potentially* not have it help STALKER, too (just a lose-lose...

No, I am running XP.

So I'm having problems with STALKER running very jerky (lots of framerate hitches, almost completely unplayable at medium to high settings, 1400 x 900, with object dynamic lighting) on the machine listed in my signature (an Opty 165 @ 2.6Ghz). I watched my CPU Usage on my other monitor while...

Well, I just tried running it again, only this time I turned down the lighting from "full dynamic" to "object dynamic" and it seemed to run much smoother. However, I watched my CPU Usage on my other monitor and it is very obvious that the game is only using 1 core because one is maxed out while...

Has anyone had any problems playing STALKER? Check out my sig for my machine. I'm running with the v1.001 patch on medium to high (but not maximum) settings for everything at 1400 x 900 resolution and have lots of stuttering and then some smooth playing as well (sounds kind of like the "Benny...

I am (2 X 512). Check your PM.

Thanks for the link. I see that a charger comes with this pack, but how about hooking it up to my car stereo? Is that done with the AV cables as well? Do I need a special cd player in my car to hook it up that way or what needs to be on it to be compatible? I'm a noobie to these...

Is there very much product support for Zens as compared to the iPods? I'm looking for things like converters to hook up to a home stereo, car stereo, etc. I see i<insert product here> on EVERYTHING anymore, and I'm just wondering if there are things like that for the Zen because I will...

This guy is really epikz. Just check his heat usernames and then search around... you'll find he is banned as a bad trader. I called him out on it when I was going to get the drives and he has since disappeared.

I have not used either the dualcore hotfix (unless I automatically get that through Windows update?) or the amd dualcore driver yet because I have had no problems with any games so far. If I do install these things, is it easy to "uninstall" them if they mess my other games up? Also, has...

Anyone have any problems running FEAR v1.0 Director's Edition DVD? It seems that this version of FEAR only seems to be using one CPU (I watch the Task Manager's CPU Usage on my other screen while I'm gaming on my main monitor) and it is very choppy. It will run very fast for a few seconds...

Alright, well I have 1Gb of RAM and set my pagefile to be 2Gb, does that sound like a good size? Also, is it important to have my pagefile be in an empty partition or does that not make a difference? And, just to be sure I understand you correctly, you are saying that I should just set up...

Would you still recommend that I have the page file set up on my secondary hard drive, even though that hard drive is a Sata I 7200.7 and my OS hard drive is a Sata II 7200.9? I have a dedicated 2 Gb partition on my older, slower drive for the page file (the rest is all storage)... but is the...

Do you mean that I may be hurting my overall performance by getting rid of the pop-up message or by creating a 2Gb partition and using that whole thing as my paging file? This is my situation: 80Gb Seagate drive, SATA II 7200.9, with OS and games 120Gb Seagate drive, SATA I 7200.7, with 2...

So I have a 2Gb partition on my hard drive that I am using as Windows page file/swap file. I keep it completely empty but am using all but something like 5 or 10 MB of space on there (Windows requires this). My problem is now every time I boot into Windows an icon comes up in the system...

So I have the A8N-Sli Premium (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131540) and have only been able to get my Opty 165 up to 310Mhz at 1.5 volts (since the Opty is locked at an x9 multiplier, that only gives me 2790 mhz) and it is NOT stable. The most I can get stable at a...
