I will briefly be in the US for a week until May 31st and I would love to ship back out with a new laptop with the 7970 video card... however I keep reading rumors that they won't really ship until July (even though most websites mention late may). Anyone in the industry that could confirm or...

So after 9 days of going without internet access cuz my ISP (Telmex - 5mbit down / 512k up) kinda blows, I decided enough was enough and I signed up for another ISP (Axtel 40mbit down / 3mbit up). (Both are DSL) My problem is that ever since switching to the new ISP (Axtel) now I can't even...

Hi all, Recently I purchased Borderlands on Steam cuz it was on sale... Naturally I fired it up and set resolution to 1920x1200, Antialiasing at 16x and Shadows enabled. The game looked pretty good and ran smoothly with 0 issues. About 5 minutes into the game, however, I notice on my G15...

So I just installed Windows 7 and ran the Windows Experience thingy , which I am fully aware is a far fetch from a real benchmark. However, I was a bit surprised that my raptor only scored a 5.9 anyone else with raptors notice this?

So after not owning a console since the SNES, I buckled last week and got a sexbawks 360... So far it's been... meh. Both games I got are fun, but not without my gripes. I lose sound on both MW2 and Forza Motorsports 3 once in a while. I changed HDMI cables to see if that fixed the issue...

So I got myself a xmas gift and it was the newish xbox 360 MW2 edition console. I just plugged it in and got it setup... and suddenly realized that the game was not in the box. WTF? Whats going on here??? Does this special edition console seriously not include the actual game itself...

Yeah... weird huh? Unlike most ppl that have problems from COLD BOOT, I am actually only able to get past the Vista / Win7 loading screen after a COLD BOOT (3+ hours of PC being turned off). If I happen to shut down or god forbid a crash (which lately I've been getting lots from the newest...

Hi... not sure if this is the right place, but here it goes. On my previous PCs, I used to easily be able to "clone" front speakers on the back speakers so that when I played music say through Winamp, I'd get music out of all 4 speakers. Currently on my PC (onboard sound on ASUS Maximus...

Full specs in sig. So I was running Vista 64 bit on 1 raptor and all of my games on another raptor, including WoW. The graphics were solid. I couldnt run max gfx in 1900x1280 but close... and I had 10-15 addons running. Alt tabbing was effortless and instant. Suddenly about 3 weeks ago...

Help! My laptop is acting funny... the display started to look a bit weird after I unplugged it from my TV (I use it as my HTPC). Turns out that the native display is 1280x800, yet when I try to change resolutions it only shows 1280x768 and 1280x720 (and the lower ones) as options...

Hi figured its worth a shot to ask fellow [H]'ers and hopefully help someone get rid of theirs =) I want to buy a set of (4) Mazda RX-8 or Mazdaspeed 6 OEM wheels. RX-8 wheel: Mazdaspeed 6 wheel: TPMS would be great (altho I've heard conflicting versions of MS6 rims being...

Hi all, This might be a really dumb question, but I'm having a tough time trying to think of a solution. I have a set of Logitech Z-5300e 5.1 speakers, which have a 35mm input and a wired remote and I use them on my PC and they're great. However, I find myself wishing I could use them...

so only a few months after release, AoC is offering free trials.. what a fucking joke.

The concept of the game is good... but I'm just not getting drawn into the game like I thought I would.... i cant explain it, but I do not have an urge to jump on the PC after work to play the game like I did w/ Crysis, CoD4, and now even a little Warhammer beta action. i think the fact that...

I'm gettin pretty tired of the tearing I get in game intro movies and cutscenes and other random videos and games on my LCD. People say that vsync completely cures tearing, but that's BS since I force vsync on nvidia's driver control panel and it still happens. what gives? p.s. monitor...

So I'm sittin' at work (Mainframe UAT Support for a large bank) thinking to myself that if I undergo 2 or 3 years of hardcore Sun JAVA certification, I could end up making $100k a year in about 6 years (once I get certified + get 3 years or more of work experience)... however..... i then started...

I posted this on the PSU forums but have gotten no reply in a few days.. Anyone have an Antec NeoPower Blue 650w PSU running a 9800GX2? I'm wondering if mine will be able to power a 9800 GX2 if I upgrade (err... when i upgrade). I'm also powering 4 hard drives and 2 optical drives (see...

Hi all I have been a proud owner of multiple Lian Li PC 61 cases, which I love, however, I'm looking at a 9800GX2 step up and I'm worried it won't fit. My current 8800 GTS is an extremely tight fit between it and my hard drives using the hard drive cage (I already have floppy+HD in the...

Privet! (wtb russian keyboard) So I got my 8800 GTS a few months ago and the step up is drawing to an end... My 2 clear options are 9800 GTX and 9800 GX2 I'm not convinced that the GX2 is worth the 300+ dlls that the step up would cost me so the only other option is 9800 gtx, but now...

Ive been a long time fan of HardOCP... however, I read their review of the Ultra PSU and how much it sucked ass... And I've also noticed that for the last few days, there's been a been a banner ad in the middle of the homepage advertising................................... ULTRA PSU! I...

Sigh... where to start? I had a customer need a computer urgently and he offered to buy my old PC. I agreed and set off to buy a new one ASAP. Ive built 5 computers using a Lian Li PC 60 because of its looks, airflow and quality. So when setting up this new computer, I had 0 doubts on which...

So here's the story. I just got my evga 8800 GTS (g92) and as soon as I took it out of the box, I heard something rattle in its plastic inner box... /groan So I took the video card out of the plastic box, and I see a tiny metal piece that must've fallen off... I am not sure if it's a...

Ever since I built my current pc with an NF4 Ultra mobo, I've been in love w/ DFI It's time to upgrade tho, and I was about to get an abit p35 but ive read that they're not compatible with wolfsdale CPU... so I am trying to find a DFI that will match my needs. However, I'm confused as...

Halp! lol This is my pretty basic "network" setup at home: I hope my leet drawing skills make the setup clear. If not, here's how it is: - DSL modem is hooked up in one room connected to a Linksys BEFSR81 8 port router. There is a PC connected to this router. Internet works fine...

Hey all So I just recently moved, so I am having a bit of a problem setting up in my new home. The problem is that I don't have a wireless NIC on my desktop and there is no cable coming into my new room. I can, however, access the network through my laptop's wireless card. My question...

So like, I bought a Dell E1505 Laptop about a year ago and about 3 months ago, I started noticing that I was leaving a nasty, darker gray imprint of my wrist on the wrist rest of the laptop. I use my laptop a lot, and clean it about once a week, but there are sessions when I spend 4+ hours on...

Back in the days of Windows 98, I used to have this little program that displayed an awesome, colorful swirly animation on my desktop instead of a static wallpaper. It kinda looked like a Mac screensaver like this one: It was called Dr. ___ (fill in the blank, please!) or Mr. ___ (i...

A friend told me that they're giving free burritos at Chipotle's as long as you ask if it's free. TODAY ONLY (1/31/06) I'm in the middle of my VB class but as soon as its done, I'll go check it out. I'll post back. edit: I'm in San Antonio, TX

So I've used Photoshop for years (amateurishly) - and I've always had this problem. Well, it finally got on my nerves.... everytime I try to save a file, (using either Save for web or Save as..) and saving either jpgs, gifs, bmps, whatever. It saves pictures DARKER than what they really...

Hi, I'm trying to do this java program for class where it calls for the package java.math.BigInteger but whenever i put it on top of my code, it gives me an error? (class or interface expected). Setup: Project/Package name: bigintegerpkg New main class: BigIntegerTest Save all...

Hi... Need a second opinion from the [H] gang.. I feel kinda sheepish for asking this, but yeah... I'm curious. I just installed a 2nd 160GB WD SATA on my mobo and I configured a striping RAID 0 between the two drives with a single partition (300gb) - (same model number, but built 2 years...

EDIT: SOLD ON ANANDTECH FORUMS After a customer retracted his commitment to a watercooling PC, I'm left with this awesome water cooling kit. It's brand new, it's opened, but it's never been installed. I don't have the time to sell parts individually, so everything is included...

So I sold my Logitech z640 5.1 speakers and got Logitech z5300e - but this new subwoofer is a monster. It's way too loud, even at the lowest bass setting, it annoys the fuck out of my roomate and neighbors (I can't blame them, this thing shakes my whole apartment building). I was wondering...

They fucked us over :(
