Just did a fresh install of Win on a brand new SSD (old WD raptor died). Upon installation, and some moving of files, I went to use the built in imaging of a drive to back the installation up. When I go to do that, it recognizes another HD as a system drive (160gb drive only for music) and...

I have a rig I built a few years ago. It's a PhenomII 940 with 8GB of ram and currently an NV 9800GT video card. I've got an HP 24" 1920x1200 monitor. I don't really game that much on it, but I have the desire to get back into it (casually) with BF3. I played the BETA for a bit, and it auto...

I wanted to get these posted, I will update with pics tonight. I have for sale: OCZ PC3200 1GBx2 RAM - Platinum Edition Ram - $40.00 shipped in US (BNIB never used) SOLD! ___________________________________________________________ EVGA 7800 GT 256-P2-N518 Video Card equipped with a...

Haven't been on here in quite a while... I feel so out of the loop.. hehe I decided to move my box into another room of the house (to make our nursury for the new addition in 2 mos.). I set everything up in the new location, plug in the power, and push the power button - nuthin. The LED on...

tonight at 11:00. I am curious to what the straight story on guitar hardware and the PS3 is. I want to get a second guitar for Rock Band, and don't want to grab one that isn't compatible. Anyone got the low down?

Finally ponied up for a new console this past weekend.. got the PS3 40GB.... (hey, it's a start.. lol). Anyways, I've always purchased the newest Madden when getting a new system.. starting back in 92 with my Genesis... Does anyone else think 08 sucks? I'm extremely dissappointed in the...

Need a modest PSU for an old P4 1.8 system. My question is, what kind of connector is this? obviously it's a 20 pin, but what about the 6 pin connector right beside it? Haven't seen anything on Newegg that has one of those.... maybe just looking at the wrong type. Thanks

Would like to pick up some old ram if someone has some laying around. Need at least 512.. whether it's 1-512 stick or 2-256's. Brand doesn't really matter as long as it works decently. Thanks

Just put the Zalman on my eVGA 7800GT. Seems to be idling around 43-44C and under load (510/1.22) on FEAR, I was hitting around 66-68C. This is on the "silent" setting for the fan. BTW, I used the supplied paste from Zalman.. thinking of maybe some AS5.... Guess I'm just throwing that out...

Mods, not sure where to put this.. thought here for more exposure since it is a video related problem. Playing GTR Racing with the 1.5 patch. Playing with machine in sig. I've tried 81.98 and 82.65's. Problem is when in the game the framerate drops from in the 100's to somewhere in the...

Pentium 4 1.8? My question is will I notice much of a difference? I know my CPU is bottlenecking my system quite a bit, so will there be much of a diff. in performance? Thanks in advance.

Just d/l the demo (i know i'm late) and in the wheel options menu, there isn't a selection for stering, just throttle, shift up, shift down, etc. But no steering! What gives? I've looked through everything I could think of and still haven't found it. I looked on EA's site, and there were a...

Title pretty much says it all. Where is it?!?!?

Well... where do I start. I sit down to do a little racing, which I hadn't done in a while. I finish one race, where the video is a bit choppy, but it's playable. Then I head to the next racing series. This is where it gets weird. The cars are pretty much not visible. All that's there is a...

Running machine in sig. Have a VGA silencer on the 9800 pro. I'm getting (mild) artifacts in D3 at stock speeds, whereas I can run say, FS2004 at 410... is OpenGL more intense than DirectX or is it just that this certain program is so intense? Thanks in advance.

Heading pretty much says it all. I know that ram prices are up across the board, but what the hell.. it never really went down for RDRAM. Why is that? I've sorta put myself in a corner with 4 128mb sticks.. and it's too damn expensive to upgrade in the current machine. More of just a...

Just built a machine using the Coolermaster Centurion 4, which has the analog blue power meter in the front. I just uses a 4-pin molex connector. My question is this: why doesn't it do anything? It lights up but the needle doesn't move. It's plugged into the same power rail as my HD and...

Installed the ole' VGA Silencer today in hopes of getting some serious speed out of my 9800 Pro. R360core and Samsung memory.. ATI tool is pushing it to around oh..... 407. What the hell?? I've seen people on here in the 450range on the processor side. I used the Arctic supplied thermal...

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-106-042&depa=0 or http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-103-138&depa=1 System in sig. No overclocking on the CPU, but have a VGA silencer coming so I can open up the 9800. Has anyone had any...

Running machine in sig for about 3 hours constant on NFSU. Stopped playing for a few. Went to restart the program, and it would "reset" the desktop. (go to black, and then slowly reappear). It did this with all 3D related programs. I rebooted like any Windows user does, and tried it again...

Just went from Omega 4.3's to Ati's 4.6 yesterday, and can't get FS2004 to look right. The terrain is all "shimmery"... (can't really think of a way to describe it). It "crawls" and just moves around. Didn't know if anyone noticed this and if there is a solution. I've been playing with the...

Was checking out a Fuji F700 digital camera to replace my aging Olympus D460. Any thoughts on this camera? Has anyone used this or something similar. I'm concerned about the picture quality... I've seen some older Fuji's before and wasn't that impressed.. and I'm not just talking about the...

I'm looking at getting a TV Tuner card (LeadTek TV2000 XP Deluxe) and plan to use SAGE with it. The card is on the compatibility list. I guess my question is if anyone has used this TV card before, what their impression is of it, and whether my machine will handle it. I just plan on doing...

Who has some experience with LiteOn CD Burners? I've seen a few people on here that have them in the signature. How do they stack up against Plextor? I was looking at this: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-106-198&depa=1 Thanks!

Running FS2004 in 1280x1024x32 with some AA and AF doesn't look that great. I mean the aircraft look pretty good but still have some jaggies. Also, any scenery in the distance looks like crap and gets all squiggly (sp? and couldn't think of a better term!). It's almost like the moire effect...

Have a Gateway (booo I know) machine that I have to make due with.. and was wondering how to back up the bios config., so that I can possibly experiment with new bios versions (which are impossible to find). It's using the Intel D850GB... Any and all help is appreciated.

Installed a 9800Pro from a 9600XT and saw really no improvment. (already hashed this out and now know my processor/mobo/everything else is the drawback). When I installed, I didn't do anything other than driver cleaner. Card operated flawlessly, and scored around 5500 or so on 3DMark03 (which...

What kind of overclocking speeds are you guys getting on the stock Sapphire 9800 Pro cooling? Got decent airflow thru the case. Just was curious. Thanks!

On my Bios Ver., it says "GB85010A.15A.0046.P13". I was on Intel's website and saw that there is a new version of the Bios... The main reason I want to upgrade is that there is no provisions in the version that I have to allow me to overclock the CPU. Anyone run into problems? I know I'm...

Just installed my 9800PRO (Newegg, Sapphire)!!!! Had to wait a week with it in my possession but I had to travel out of town.. Talk about chomping at the bit to get home and play. I've installed the Omega 4.2 Drivers complete with RadLinker. I haven't changed any settings what-so-ever...

Just got a 9600XT, mainly because I don't have a stout enuff PSU and didn't want the cost of putting a new one in... (i know, not that expensive, but gotta watch the pennies). I still have time to return the 9600XT and get a 9800 Pro for about 10 bucks more... Anyone forsee a problem with...

Still a noob here, great forum. Just curious why the search function isn't available?

Noob here. Just picked up an ATI 9600 XT. Nice card, impressed so far. Just curious what you guys and gals are setting your clock and ram speeds for on this card. I've installed radlinker, and have set some around 580/332 with the standard heatsink/fan combo. Temps were around 41C. Also...
