    i7 920 @ 3.5, but...

    I'm using an Asus P6T Deluxe, 6GB of Corsair DDR3-1333, and an i7-920. In the BIOS, I set BCLK to 166MHz, left SpeedStep and Turbo mode ON, set Vcore to fixed 1.25V, and left everything else at minimum (stock) voltage. Memtest runs fine for hours, I can boot into Vista and run 12 hours of OCCT...

    Simultaneous fullscreen 3D & video playback

    I'm having trouble with one of my PCs. One is a Vista 64 box with an 8800GTX, and it can play a fullscreen game while watching a video on a second monitor without any trouble. The other is an XP32 machine with a 9600GT and it can't. When the game is running, the video window on the other...

    Nehalem?

    So Intel is launching Nehalem late this year, and it's looking to have more cores, higher IPC, lower latency/higher bandwidth memory access, and faster clocks (I've seen 3.2GHz on an ES). Fine, but what is AMD planning to do about it? Surely not just a faster clocked 45nm Phenom? I'm just...

    ATI+nVidia in one system?

    Has anyone had any luck running nVidia and ATI cards in the same system? I've got an 8800GTX with 2 DVI ports that are now both in use so I want to add a HD3450 as an additional video output for HTPC type stuff (no 3D, but yes to H264, blu ray and other HD content). I've got a P5B with two x16...

    bird in the hand...

    http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20070702235635.html Graphs shown are at 2.6GHz. How long before we see those in the channel? Why boast performance of a product you are not releasing? Oh, I know why -- some people won't notice the clock difference and buy the 2.0's thinking they...

    Conroe/8800GTX OC weirdness

    I'll be brief :) - E6400 dual P95 stable at 6*400 = 2400MHz - Corsair 6400C4 1:1 at 2.1v, 4-4-4-12 - eVga 8800GTX @ stock Trouble is, the computer is 100% stable in windows/prime 95, but World of Warcraft blue screens and shuts down after a while (sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes 5 mins)...

    physics?

    Quick speculation... If I buy and use a 7600GT now, then upgrade to an 8800GTX (or similar) later, is it possible that the 7600GT could ever be used for physics acceleration? I'm thinking about the 680i platform and its 3x PCI-E slots... I suppose even if it can't do physics I could use it...

    VIVO?

    I'm looking for a PCI-E video card that is *NOT* for gaming, but I want VIVO capabilities (s-video, hdtv, etc). I also need 2xDVI ports for two LCDs (and the ability to run both LCDs at the same time as the video output). Any ideas? I can't seem to find anything that isn't a super high-end...

    Intel DP965 overclock

    Is there any way to get the Intel DP965 motherboard to overclock at all? I am OK with not having voltage options, or memory settings, etc. The clock generator IC is an "IDT CV174" and I can't find any mention of it anywhere (datasheet even). Anyone using a software overclocking program with...

    out of the loop - what's wrong with this card?

    I haven't been watching the video card market for about a year now, which makes my knowledge totally obsolete. I'm casually looking into replacing my FX5900 with something a little stronger. I came across the following price list: http://www.vibecomputers.com/index.cfm?loc=hardware&catid=16...

    Samsung 213T vs. Dell 2001fp

    I have an opportunity here that I'm not sure I should take... I own a Samsung 213T and my only complaint with it is that it's a little slow for FPS games. I spend half my computer time in games, and the other half in 2D stuff (web browsing, word processing, image editing, etc). I have a...
