supposedly launches this week--will wait for some reviews first. Anyone interested in this title?

OK, first some qualification: I've seen some great work on this site and this aint gonna knock anyone's socks off. But it's my first try at some rudimentary video editing and it turned out to be a little easier than I thought. Shot with a Canon 5D MkII and edited with Quick Time pro. Taken...

Would it be safe to say that both AMD 69XX and Nvidia (580?) next gen cards will be launched/available to order from places like Newegg before Christmas? My 4870X2 is getting old :)

I've setup one computer as a server for music and pictures on my home network. It's connected through a 802.11g wireless card. It's running Windows 7 home premium. It also hosts a Squeezebox music server application that broadcasts to a Squeezebox music player in another room. In order to...

So I'm having trouble setting up a homegroup. My laptop is logged into the network on my wireless router. In the network and sharing center it says it's connected and the name of the network is the same as the SSID. My desktop is plugged directly into the router and the network is just...

Yo any recommendations on a good >700W PSU for a 4870X2? need both a 8 and 6 pin isolated rail for the 4870X2. thanks! Z

Hi guys, anyone else seeing a 10 degree difference between the 2 GPUs? I'm getting some crashes, but it's better as I speed up the fan (yes, way too loud). I'll idle at 48 on one chip, and 56-59 on the other when the fan is 80%. not sure what the temp is under load. M

Hi Guys, Finally have all our Costa Rica pics up at our site http://www.inmd.net. (Just click on the Costa Rica Gallery) Here's a sampler, hope you enjoy.

You guys ever see this before? http:\\inmd.net\temp\ep2_outland_090000.jpg Happens both when OC and default timings. Rig described in sig. using 169.01, but was happening before too. Happens with vsync enabled on or off. TIA for the help.

Hi Guys, a request for comments and criticism of my experimental gallery. These images have more PP than usual. Do they work for you? Are these images original and creative? If they fail to leave an impression, or seem cliche, please explain why you think so. I'm trying to push myself...

Hi all, I really enjoy checking out and learning from other people's photography websites. If you have a photoblog or gallery, let's see those links! Here's ours:http://inmd.net. Z

A week ago I wrote about screeching in the sound when I play FEAR. (HL2 and Q4 sound pretty good) Well after thinking it was due to Rf interference and heat (my audigy2 is in between the two 7800 GTXs) I have now narrowed the cause of my problem down to drivers or settings. If I use SLI AA...

Hi Guys, build is basically complete and the system (see sig) is working well. However, when I try to use my audigy2 ZS that's plugged in between the sli 7800s, (and under the sli bridge) I get a terrible static for sound in games. When I installed 3dmark, I think it installed a Open AI sound...

OK--system is running and kicking butt in FEAR, HL2, Q4. Now, one last thing. I need to fix the default mem timings. As everyone knows, the memory timings default to 3-3-3-8. I bought Corsair TwinX 2-3-3-6 which should be, as I understand it: 2 = Tcl 3 = Trcd 3 = Trp 6 = Tras Only I'm...

Hi Guys, I'm installing two 35Gb Raptors as RAID 0 on an A8N32. They're plugged into SATA1 and SATA2. The RAID setup utility finds the drives--no problem. But the set Boot option is unavailable! Both are Master 1.0 and 1.1. I figure there's something obvious I'm overlooking--thanks in advance...

Hi all, It's been almost two years since my last build and here's what I want to do: I'm building an extreme gaming rig, but it has to serve another role. I need to store about 80 Gb of MP3s and an ever increasing photography library that's now 100 Gb and will increase by at least 100 Gb a year...

I just played the f.e.a.r demo and was limited to 1024x768 which looks like crap on my lcd. I assume the full version of the game will play 1280x1024? thxs. Z

Hi All, I'm getting the technical side of photography well enough. What I could use some help with is composition. Do any of you have any recommendations for books? I've Googled and checked the books at B Dalton, etc. But nothing beats personal commendation, IMHO. I have read the National...

Hi all, just to pass along my experience with this HP scanner. After three (one I bought, two replacements) I got the technical support representative to admit that HP got a bad batch of RAM on the scanner. As a result, many large scans (usually grey or sepia toned) reveal 1/2 inch vertical...

Hi All, I just upgraded my computer and used the parts to build my wife a pretty decent rig. The two hard drives are a WD 30 Gb and a Maxtor 20 Gb drive. They're older IDE 133 drives, both connected to the primary IDE. (A CDROM and a CD RW connected to the secondary IDE). WinXP installed fine...

Hi Folks, I'm a new 6800 user, have been running ATI for 4 yrs. Any recommendations for a good guide to tweaking nVIDIA performance? I'm especially interested in reading about which add-on apps (RivaTuner?) are worth getting, and how to best set config settings in the nVIDIA digital control...

FYI to those who ordered eVGA 6800 GTs for the first round of preorders (8/2/04): I received a notice saying the card had shipped today, on-time. Congrats to eVGA--they seem like a trustworthy outfit. Hopefully everyone who got in for the 8/2 deadline got a similar message Z

I have two desktops wired into my DI-524, and one laptop that connects via 802.11g. When I ran Win update, each could still access the internet, but none could connect to each other. I think there's something wrong with updates: 840315 842773 841873 839643 839645 They are security...
