    http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814195031 How does this card stack up? Are there any "obvious" better value items or is this card pretty solid? Mostly we play WoW together (my system handles it just fine). I just wanted to get a bit more of the eye candy to play well on...

    I've been having an issue where if One Care's firewall is active, I can ping the other computers on my network but other computers cannot ping me. Is there a way to fix it without disabling my firewall all the time?

    Any programs available that force proper image scaling?

    I just got a new Acer AL2416W. It's very nice. I LOVE the widescreen world.. However with CCC's "use centered timings" not working properly has anyone come up with a work-around for games that do not support wide-screen resolutions like 1920x1200, without stretching the image, for monitors that...

    Definately Loving the new ATI Tool Beta 14

    10273 3d Marks, not too shabby. It transitions from 2D / 3D settings without a hitch. It's not crashing the system when detecting max core/ mem anymore. Beautiful!

    DFI LP nF4 SLI-DR Expert w/ 4400+ --Slow Boot?

    I've just recently put this machine together. Windows boots fine, it's the initial boot process that is taking way longer than it should. I turned off the splash screen since it was showing up in the wrong colors anyways. Now when I boot the first few lines of text show up, including the chipset...

    YAATQ - Yet another ATI Tool Question :D - X1800XT

    I know some folks are using ATI Tool with thier x1800xt, so this is for them. I've figured out how to set up different profiles, and how to set up 3D detection. There's no problem switching from 2D mode to the 3D overclocked settings but switching back locks my computer up every time. Also I...

    MSN Messenger Being Blocked

    This is has been plagueing me for about 3 hours. I've been trying to find a good stable OC all day and during that time, during tests etc I've been re-installing all the software that I would normally have (just put windows on the system yesterday). All of the sudden my MSN Messenger is dead...

    Prime 95 Question

    I've noticed Prime95 will throw errors around just a tad more liberaly if you are opening up a program. If you let it run alone it won't. Which is recomended? If Prime95 gives me a rounding error when I open up firefox, but doesn't give any error if I run it all by itself, do I have a stable OC?

    DDR 500 Memory, won't clock to 250mhz?

    I've been trying to OC this machine, following the stickied guide I lowered my multiplier so I could find out the limit of my RAM. I purchased this OCZ memory for my new build, which should clock to 250mhz without any issue right? Well when I do Prime95 starts giving me the rounding error, you...

    Does Brand Matter?

    I've noticed lots of folks on here with HIS X1800XTs. Is there any particular reason this card seems to be popular? I was scoping out newegg today and the HIS card is about $90 more than the ATI. Of course the ATI is OEM and the HIS is retail. Also the difference is only $40 after you factor in...

    Dual Core Opteron or Athlon 64 X2?

    I've been lurking the boards here for a few days now and the only thing I seem to see being overclocked are the Opterons. Is there a reason folks aren't OCing Athlon 64 X2s? What's the difference between these two processors? I've read elsewhere that the difference only lies in how they are...

    BFG 7800GTX 512 OC on EBay, Christmas Day. Looks like a scam though! Comments please

    It sold out in just a few hours but it looks like a scam. since the guy only accepts cash payment and his account has been inactive for 3 years and the card is priced WAY under retail. All the same I figured it's possible some old-school Ebayer who hasn't switched to PayPal yet somehow got his...

    VGA on CRT vs. DVI on LCD

    Considering only image quality, that is, remove the variables of weight (LCDs) and resolution flexibility (CRTs) and other such advantages each has, which has the best image quality? I ask this because I currently have a CRT that I like just fine. It's a 19" ViewSonic. It's not new, but it's...
