    MSI GTX260 Four Versions?

    On the official page it shows versions 1 through 3. Newegg even shows a V4. 1 has lower clocks and is the 192 core version. But what about 2-4? It just looks like there are different fans/bundles maybe? Are there any significant hardware differences?

    This only happens once in a while and not on every click. Im using an Intellipoint Optical. I tried reinstalling the software, and tried with an old Intellimouse Optical I had lying around (which I stopped using for a reason I cant remember - hopefully not the same thing haha). Also tried...

    Sound randomly drops/recovers volume

    So sometimes the volume will get really quiet for like 5-10 seconds then recover to where it was before. This will happen during games and movies which makes me think its hardware related. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers but it didnt help. This just started this past week. Any...

    IP35-E doesnt load Vista with 4x2GB

    It boots up but I get to a screen saying something about Vista being corrupted and it wants me to insert the disc and repair the installation and everything. 2x2, 2x1, 4x1 are all good though. Each of those setups was with one brand of memory. If I tried to mix the to get 6GB it wouldnt even...

    Cox + BiTorrent = Kills Firefox/IE

    Recently got Cox, and at first it was fine. But now when I start a torrent (uTorrent), browsing just dies. Obviously it should slow a LITTLE but sites just timeout completely in either browser. If I start a torrent and THEN try to open Firefox 3, itll take a couple minutes for the window to even...

    Xeon Equivalents to Slower E8x00s

    So we know that the E3110 is the counterpart to the E8400 but what about the E8200 and coming E8300? I looked on Intel's Processor Finder page but the only 2.66GHz 45nm Xeon was the E5430 which had a 12MB cache whereas the E8200 only has 6MB. The page doesnt even list the E8300 yet though...

    Retail E8200 OC Results?

    No love for the cheapest E8xxx? How close to the magic 4GHz can it get? With 8x multiplier you would need a 500MHz FSB and Im wondering if people are seeing that anywhere.

    Shuttle KPC

    $199 Linux system, theres also a $99 barebones version which should be more interesting. Should be available at the end of Q1. Article with specs Other colors If the barebone system comes with a 5.25 bay and a PCI-e expansion slot it could be a pretty sexy HTPC. I always liked the XPC design...

    Cheapest "Good" 500ish W PSU?

    Antec Basiq? CoolerMaster eXtreme? Frys has the latter for $10AR so Im thinking about it. Any others I should be looking at? EDIT: Oh oops sry this was supposed to go in the PSU forum... but that Fry's deal for the 500W is real at least.

    Brands with Best/Worst RMA Service

    I was wondering what brands you all have found to be especially good/bad. Some examples I consider good are Western Digital and Seagate for hard drives. Quick online process, no hassle with re-troubleshooting, and acceptable turn around time. What are your experiences with mobo manufacturers...

    8800GTS Distorted Video Playback

    Trying a PNY (maybe that explains it all) 8800GTS instead of a 7950GT. Video playback (specifically XVID) is now screwed up in the upper right corner of videos, as if its not refreshing fast enough or something. Theres a diagonal border where beyond it its showing like part of a frame from a...

    P5N-E SLI OCing

    On my P5B I could get 380 FSB with my E6400. I was hoping I could get higher with this board. I left the NB Core Voltage to Auto, should I Be changing that? If so, to what? I also found that the FSB-RAM Clock mode seems to mess with things. Unlinked 1100/800 wont boot but Linked 1100/688 will...

    Importance of Memtest results?

    First Im using that Patriot DDR-667 that ppl have been talking about. With an E6300 at stock (and OCed) it could pass at least one pass on Memtest. I tried an E6400 the memory keeps failing even at stock. I have been running it at 2.1V. Is that too much? Have I damaged the RAM? Now even...

    ASUS P5B and Norton Ghost 2003

    Anyone gotten Ghost to boot from an IDE optical drive with this mobo? What happens is it reads the disc and starts PCDOS and tries to load CDROM drivers but then says something like "no drives found" and just kicks me to an A:\ prompt. Ive tried: All the jumpers on the CDROM with a SATA...

    CPU/RAM OCing -> Video Card Heat?

    Im OCing a 6300 on a P5B. Im not OCing the video cards at all. Two cards: x1900GT and drivers installed and a crappy 6200LE with nothing installed. The cards however get quite hot compared to another system (with a 6800 Ultra and an OCed Opteron). I cant hold my fingers to it for more than like...

    FSB Termination Voltage and OCing

    What the hell does it do? I read on some Anandtech thread that raising it helped someone with RAM errors. Should I leave it on "Auto"? If not whats a safe voltage? Thanks in advance.

    PCI Express Frequency and OCing

    I know that default its 100 but Ive had it on "Auto" on my P5B. Ive read that that means the board will scale it up according to your FSB. Since Im OCing a E6300 the FSB can get a lot higher that stock. So should I be setting this manually to "100"? Similarly should I be setting the PCI bus to...

    ClockGen for P5B Series?

    Is this not supported yet? Will it ever be supported? On their page it lists the Intel 955/975 chipsets but no 965 =( The P5B Vanilla apparently uses ICS9PLRS552 that doesnt show up as an option in ClockGen. I also found this thread with a beta ClockGen 1.0.4.8 for the Deluxe but not...

    ASUS P5B No Screen

    Burn in Using an HDTV as a Monitor

    Im curious about what kind of TVs can be damaged by use as a monitor. My understanding is that burn in happens to CRTs and not any of the new technologies in HDTVs (LCD, LCD projection, DLP, plasma). Are there other risks to using a TV (specifically an LCD projection HDTV) as a monitor? Im...

    Opteron 148 now or Opteron 146 Later

    Im using a 3000+ Winchester right now at 265x9 on a ASUS A8V Deluxe. I heard about the Opteron craze a while back but couldnt find a 146. My question is should I just get a 148? Will that OC similarly? Or should I wait? There was also something about there not being any 146s in the future...

    DVI vs Response Time

    ASUS Warranty Experiences Anyone?

    I know you have to register the item to get service but I was wondering if they require original invoices and whatnot. My main question is about cards you would get from unofficial sources, say eBay. I did a search but everyone seems to be paying attn to BFG EVGA and XFX. Thx in advance.
