    San Andreas running too fast

    First, I'll tell you about the problem. Imagine normal gameplay speed, and then multiply that speed by 6. That is how fast my gameplay is. The story movies before each mission, forget about watching them. Blink, and they are over. It really sucks. This all started when I put the Athlon X2 CPU...

    Email to ESPN Video Games

    I was rather upset about EA's buying/acquiring the exclusive rights for the NFL, and sent ESPN video games this email: Hello. I was wondering something. Since EA has screwed you over on the NFL side, please consider making a college football game just as good as NFL 2K5 is. I'm sure just...

    AV8 memory question

    I just got my AV8/3500 installed, replacing my IC7/P4C setup. In the P4 setup, the Corsair pc3200 TwinX llc I have ran at 220mhz 1:1. How the heck do you get pc3200 to run at that speed in the AV8 bios? It defaults to 166mhz, and I can not find a setting to change the 5:6 ratio I'm running at. I...

    Just got my Abit AV8 & A64 3500 installed...coming from an Intel P4c...questions

    I finally came back to AMD, and now I'm cutting my teeth all over again. First question, does the AV8 have the same temp reporting problem that the IC7 had for P4's? I'm running stock speeds right now, and the Abit EQ program reports the cpu temp hovering around 60c! Stock AMD cooling. Second, I...

    61.77 driver settings for 3DMark 2003

    Could someone tell me what settings to use in the driver control panel to get the best 3dmark score? I mean under "Performance & Quality". I am just coming back from ATI since the 9700 Pro came out, and I guess I'm a little behind. Thanks!

    61.76 driver question

    My problem is, I can't get the "Apply these settings at startup" to stick. I'll set my clock to 423/1.15 on my 6800 GT, then check the box, and then click ok. But every time I boot up, the settings are back to default. What gives?

    6800 GT in HL2

    We now think we know which is the best card for Doom 3. My question is, will the 6800's be able to keep up with the X800's in Half-Life 2? I know it's all conjecture right now because the game isn't even out yet, but there are some smart people on this board, and I want to know what they think.

    PNY 6800 GT refresh problem

    The problem is, every time I turn the computer on, the refresh rate is at 60hz. I set it to 90hz, but when I turn the computer off, and then the next day I turn it on, it's back to 60hz. I might not be doing something right in the driver control panel. I've been with ATI since the 9700 Pro until...

    Just got my PNY 6800 GT...question

    What's the deal with the memory heatsink? It feels like its plastic? Or does it just have a plastic shell around a metal heatsink? I'm at work right now, so all I can do is look at it, really. Also, what is the best driver to download? I'm coming back to nVidia after being with ATI since the...

    No go on X800 Pro->XT Platinum conversion

    I have tried it twice now, and I'm a failure :( I have come to really want the extra 4 pipelines now, with Doom 3's impending release. So my issue now is see how much I could get for my X800 Pro on eBay, then decide on either a 6800 GT or go ahead and get the X800 XT Platinum, or maybe a...

    Prescott in a notebook?

    I notice Sager has some Prescott notebooks. I thought the Prescott was a really hot cpu that consumed a lot of voltage. Will it work well in a notebook?
