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...

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...

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...

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...

I'm thinking about buying this drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148148 Yes, I know it is not much space and that I'm paying over 50 cents/gig, but I have heard that this is supposed to be one of the fastest boot drives and I really do not need a 250 or 320 gb...

My parent's computer has been running kind of crappily with spyware, etc. that I cannot seem to get rid of, so I decided to boot into safe mode and try to get rid of the things that way instead. However, upon booting into safe mode, I get the user login screen, choose me, and then a dialog box...

I have a Samsung HDTV (1080i) that I am trying to use as the secondary monitor in a dual view with setup. I am using a 5900XT videocard with an S-Video out to the Samsung TV but cannot go any higher than 1024x768 at 32bit color. Is there a way to get a 720p or similar output to it through the...

Just got my Samsung 931BW 19 in Widescreen from Best Buy BF deal and am curious how my games are going to run once I get it all hooked up (stand was busted so I am waiting for BB to get more in stock to replace it). With the rig in my sig, NEW games typically run awesome at 1024x768, very...

So I got the Toshiba L35 S2151 (or some model like that, it was the "secret" $249 one) yesterday at Best Buy. It was supposed to have 512Mb DDR2 PC-4200 RAM in it. However, when I checked the System Properties in Windows, it reported only 384 mb of RAM. I then downloaded CPU-z to see what...

I have a chance to get a Retail version of the CCBBE 0616XPMW. I'm planning on overclocking with my rig in my signature, using an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium. Is this a good stepping or one of the problematic 06xxxxx's? What have people's experiences with this stepping been? Anybody use it on...

So I just sold my 3500+ and I need a new processor for gaming, preferably one that will overclock well because my 3500+ did not. I've been considering the Opteron 165 that is on sale at Monarch right now. Does anyone think that that sounds like a good idea, or what would you recommend for...

I have my system partitioned into C and D drives. I have my C drive frozen (using Deep Freeze) so that anytime I restart, all of the settings on my C drive are exactly as the same as they were when I last started it (all writes are erased). In case you're curious, I do this because I was tired...

Company of Heroes runs like dick - help! So my COH (original version, have not gotten any patch yet and am not even sure if there is one out) has been running pretty crappy. Check out my sig - do I not have a good enough system to turn Post Processing off and run everything on "High" at 1280 x...

So my COH (original version, have not gotten any patch yet and am not even sure if there is one out) has been running pretty crappy. Check out my sig - do I not have a good enough system to turn Post Processing off and run everything on "High" at 1280 x 1024 (note, NOT Ultra on anything)...

Just got a brand new A8N-SLI Premium and started overclocking using Eclipse's Athlon64 OC guide. Was able to get my HTT up to 300 mhz stable, RAM up to about 245mhz (DDR 490) stable, but I'm having trouble finding my max CPU speed. Going with 285 x 8.5 = 2422.5 mhz will allow me to Prime for...

So I always see "SATA 3Gb/s" in the description of drives, but every time I hear someone talking about their new SATA II drives, they always talk about peak bursts at like 160 mb/s or something like that. I'm just confused as to what the 3 gb/s actually means. I assumed that was the...

I am going to be receiving an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium motherboard later this week and was wondering if there was a way for me to simply hook up my PSU and videocard to it and then actually get it started without having to hook everything up to it once it is inside of my case. Reason I'm asking...

I see that the ASUS A8N-SLI Premium has two extra connectors, one molex and one floppy, on the motherboard. I think I remember reading somewhere that this is for stability when running 2 videocards in SLI. Is this true? Are there any stability problems when running one videocard without the 2...

That's right, I'm looking to buy Guitar Hero for PS2 with the controller. Post here or PM me some offers. Thanks a lot!

So I'm considering picking up another 160GB drive to go RAID, but have a quick question. Do my drives need to be identical to have a RAID setup? I will be running one Maxtor 160GB IDE ATA133 drive and a Seagate Barracuda 160Gb SATA drive (the new one, if I so choose to purchase). Will this...

So I've spent hours and hours configuring my new DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D board just to get it to run right and I haven't even overclocked it yet! Looking ahead to school in the spring, I know that I'm not going to have these hours upon hours to configure the board and I definitely will NOT be...

I have heard that you need to run dual channel memory in the orange slots on a DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D board. However, it appears that my Corsair XMS 3200C2-PRO (the kind with the LEDs on it) will not fit if I am using a Scythe Ninja as my CPU cooler. Anyone have any experience with this...

I'm considering purchasing the OCZ GameXStream 600W PSU here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?Item=N82E16817341001 But am very picky about noise. I currently have a Seasonic S12 430 but just got a DFI board with PCI-E and need a larger PSU. If these are at least as...

Just got my new DFI Lanparty Ultra-D with an eVGA 7900GT freshly RMA'd. First time I turned it on, it went just fine but told me that the CMOS Defaults were loaded. After hitting F1 to continue, it tried to boot from CD and gave me a "INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message. However, I...

I'm able to get a little extra speed out of my 3500+ without raising my voltage up at all from 1.35 volts (2.4 up from 2.2Ghz). I was just wondering if simply running the card at a faster speed will decrease the lifespan of the card at all since I'm not raising the voltages at all? I know that...

At home, I have two computers and my 360 hooked up via a WIRED router. If I type "ftp" or "ipconfig" at the cmd line in Windows, it gives me an invalid command error (or something to that effect) so I thought that maybe the Home version does not have FTP for some reason. However, at a friend's...

A friend of mine called me last night and was about to swap motherboards so he wanted to take out his 939 3700+ processor and didn't know how. I told him just to release that lever on the side of the socket and then pull the processor straight up. He couldn't get it to work, but then I...

So I've heard about this technique for volt-modding a 7900GT to run at 7900GTX speeds here: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=1847758 Sounds to me like it basically involves drawing with a conductive pen and then using a multimeter to be sure it worked...

I'm considering getting the Lanparty DFI NF4 UT Ultra-D (non-SLI) but am worried about all of the settings I have heard that the BIOS has. I have done some mild overclocking in my day but I do NOT go in and manually change absolutely every timing, voltage, monitor, etc. What does this board...

Moving up to PCI-E so I'm looking for one of those DFI boards, either the one that is SLI or the one that you have to mod to get SLI. PM me your offers or post in this thread. Great references: ebay: dbaldus6jek Plus a couple of fellow [H]'ers who could give me some refs. Need to get...

I have heard that the DFI Ultra-D mobo does NOT support Corsair memory. Is this true? I'm planning on buying it but don't want to end up not being able to run my TWINX1024-3200C2PRO memory (its the ones with the LEDs on it). Anyone have any experience with this? Need to know to make my...

I'm looking for a 7900GT 256MB PCI-E card, preferably eVGA or BFG, but willing to take others if I have to. PM me with offers or post them here... Thanks!

I'm running an ASUS A8V Deluxe mobo (BIOS rev 1017.02) with a 3500+ Newcastle core. I've been trying to increase my HTT by small increments (about 3 mhz at a time) but cannot get anything to happen. In Clockgen, I have the correct PLL selected and it is reading my clock frequencies...

So I've heard nothing but great things about eVGA's customer support/warranty service, etc. but have a few questions. Does eVGA cover failure due to overclocking your card and frying it? For lifetime? Does eVGA cover installing an aftermarket cooler on the card? For lifetime? Just...

I've been reading Eclipse's overclocking guide at http://eclipseoc.com/index.php?id=6,9,0,0,1,0 and had a few questions. In the first step, for determining your max HTT, I'm having some problems. I have ClockGen and Prime95, but while I'm in Clockgen's PLL Control, when I move my FSB up 3...

So I need to reapply my stock cooler to get my XFX 6600GT RMA'd. Anyone have any idea what type of thermal paste that XFX uses? I have the cooler and everything, but the card failed (not due to overclocking because I never did that), but it needs to look perfect to have it RMA'd (you guys know...

Also willing to trade for a CMX512 3200C2Pro (1 gig kit at 2-3-3-6) and/or a twinX512-3200LL (512 mb kit at 2-3-2-6) plus cash. PM me or post here with offers. Thanks!
