I just got an eVGA 6600GT AGP card to tide me over for about 6 months. I installed it and the latest drivers and everything seems good. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't run very high settings in BF2 though, mostly all set to medium. Now my real question is that I downloaded...
I recently got my hands on a used Sapphire Radeon 9800 pro 256mb Ultimate edition card that comes with the passive Zalman heatsink. I installed the card with the Cat. 6.1 drivers and it works fine for normal computer use but when I fire up Atitool and scan for artifacts at the default core and...
Total audio newbie here. I have been using the onboard IC7 sound and it sucks big time. It crackles when my refrigerator turns on/off lol. Looking to spend under $50 for a soundcard to run a 2.1 speaker system mostly for listening to MP3's and some gaming. Also for plugging in headphones...
You are the head of Intel R&D and you have a great new core based on 10nM carbon nanotubule transistors... Please come up with your own flashy "codename" that will be used extensively throughout PC enthusiast sites and by overclocking noobs. Please keep in mind that "Mr. Intel" upstairs really...
I have a 350W Enermax ps that came with a case I bought like 2 years ago. I wasn't overclocking back then and it worked great. I am trying some overclocking now to prolong the life of this system and I notice that when I run my 2.4C at 3.0 and run Prime95, the 12V rail dips to 11.55V. It...
I'm looking for the best passively cooled AGP card for less than $200. If not passively cooled than as quiet as possible. I only game with BF2 and it plays well on my 9600pro so I'm pretty sure any newer cards will run it well too (I don't need all the eye candy turned on). I saw that...
Hi guys,
I've been WAY out of the pc loop for a long time. Current rig is in my sig and I want to upgrade my graphics card to squeeze about another year out of the system. Obviously I have to stick with AGP. So I was wondering if I wanted to go to an Nvida 6600 GT, can I install that card...
So I've been out of the hardware loop for a while. Haven't picked up anything new but what is in sig, what do you guys think for runnig HL2? I don't care about full details but playable framerates are a must obviously.
we just got a couple of 1901fps in at work and I cant figure out how to get them to switch from landscape to portrait mode. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
have a pc with a cable connection through Time Warner cable. I just bought an Apple Powerbook that comes with airport extreme (802.11g). I was wondering if I could buy a wireless router and connect the pc using a hard line cable and the powerbook using wireless at the same time? Can I share a...
What would give me the best kick for my money, to get 2 gigs of pc3200 or to bump the speed up and go for pc3700 or faster? Mainly for gaming and internet and bragging rights :) Does anyone have 2 gigs of ram in their IC7 and if so how does it perform?
