I just finished bootcamp for the Navy and after two years away from WoW i'm thinking of picking the game back up. The problem is the laptop I have is a piece of crap and I really want to build myself a new computer rig. My current desktop is miles away and I can't get it shipped or go back home...

I've had Vista installed for Crysis for about a few months now. I completely HATE Vista. An OS doesn't need to ask me if I want to delete or move a file from a "special" folder every time I do it. But now with Crysis out and DX10 playing like crap, I wonder if I made the right decision in...

Hey guys. I just learned how to use Mirc pretty good finally! Now I want to use it to chat. Is there anywhere that displays a bunch of servers and channels that I can join to chat in? Thanks in advance.

I've had the same mouse pad for over five years. I think it's time for me to invest some money in a good mouse pad. I have the MX1000 laser mouse from logitech and I want to get something that matches this pad pretty good. I don't want to spend over 25 on the pad. What do ya'll guys suggest? I...

Basically my IDE devices aren't recognized in windows anymore. I uninstalled something casually, and I don't remember what it was. I assume now that it was important for the everyday functioning of my IDE devices. CMOS recognizes the two drives (one my cdrom drive, the other a HD). But when I...

So, I uninstalled something casually because I didn't recognize what it was. It said something like RAID controller or something. Now windows doesn't recognize the cd-rom and hard drive that I have on my IDE cable. I don't know how to fix this problem because I'm not very knowledgeable of this...

I was thinking the other day with how people determine stability. People on here argue whether just being able to run orthos for a long time is stable, or if running orthos with other programs is the way to measure stability. Doesn't it vary with different users? Like if someone likes to run...

My rig is in my signature. Gigabyte board with E6600 3.2 Ghz at FSB 401 and multiplier X8. With an 8800 GTS, will there be bottlenecks that hinder the overall performance in my system? Should I stick with a 7950 GT, or upgrade? It's a huge investment to upgrade to the DX10 card, but they are...

So, I've read that my particular motherboard has this issue called Strap. Where in the high 300's it runs into a wall overclocking. I was even warned of the problem before I started overclocking. But, because of my ingnorance, I decided it would be cool to go from 340 to 365 on my FSB. I thought...

This program has been running for over 13 hours now! How long does it take for this program to finish?

So, I'm kind of a newbie for overclocking. I've gotten my E6600 to 3.240 with a FSB of 360 and my multiplier is at default, 9. My memory uses a 2X multiplier and is at the frequency of 740. My Vcore was upped to 1.31 on my CPU and to 1.85 on my memory. I get into Windows fine and I can run games...

So, I bought an E6600 and I've pushed her to 3.125. She runs very stable with the set up in my sig at 35-39 degrees. I know it's kind of pointless to overclock if everything is already stable and running in perfect order, but my memory isn't running at it's top performance (700Mhz out of a...

I don't understand the whole voltages part of overclocking. I understand you do it to give the processor or memory more juice, but how do you know when to do it? How do you know this much is enough or not? I'm currently at 3.1 Ghz on my C2Duo E6600. I haven't changed any voltages and TAT says...

I've overclocked my system to 2.88Ghz. The software that came with my motherboard says that the cpu is 40degrees, while ITAT says that my cpu is 47. Which software should I trust more? Also, the software says my Arctic Freezer 7 Pro is running at 700-800 RPM's. Is this significantly slow...

I understand why you need to up the FSB and the memory frequency to reach the same numbers. But the confusion I'm having is why do I have to up the Voltage? Is it to get more power to the piece of hardware so It can have more juice to run at these higher settings? How do I know what voltage is...

So, I've read about overclocking for a long time now. I recently built a hardcore system to overclock on, but there are different methods for overclocking. I'm confused on which method is the best to use. 1. The first method is to simply increase the multiplier. 2. The second one is increasing...

So, I got a Ultra V series 500w power supply for free from FRY's, but I have a p180 Case. I don't want to buy a freakin 80 dollar power supply for this case, so I want to buy extensions. I don't know exactly which extensions to buy that will fit. My system's hardware is: Gigabyte DQ6...

I have an ATI tv tuner card, but the software that comes with it is crappy. I want some third party software for it, but no clue where to look, or what is good out there. Anyone with ideas or suggestions for me?

I bought this card a while back and the software is hideous. I've been trying to use google and yahoo to find some third party software out there for this card. No luck so far so I'm turning to this forum. It's never failed me before. So what is the best third party software that will allow me...

This fan doesn't fit on the Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 because of a plate on the bottom. Does anyone know any Heatsink and Fans that fit this motherboard that are as good or maybe better than that particular heatsink and fan?

I know that the new Conroe processors are amazing and the best processor to buy right now. I just don't know why they are so good. I don't really know hardware too well and I'm curious to why it's so good. A link to a page explaining or something or a simple explanation would be enough for me...

So, I wanted to buy a Zalman fan and heatsink for the Conroe E6600 I plan on buying in less than a month. Well, through forums around the internet I read that isn't possible because of the crazy cool plate on the back of the Motherboard. I want to know if there is a good third party heatsink...
