Sometimes when I minimize programs windows will sort of freeze, music will keep playing, but it won't advance to the next track and it doesn't respond to keyboard commands and the mouse curser will continue to move unless I start clicking and then it stops and beeps at me once and I can ping it...

3200+ winchester, 1 evga 7800GT (stock clocks at 445/1070), msi neo4-f, 3 hdds and 1 dvd writer. I ask because I'm having stability issues with a 420watt atx 1.3 noisetaker and enermax wants me to get a new psu (put a ticket thing on website describing my problem) as does corsair since 1...

Somehow I got a winchester a few days at a brick and mortor store even though they're selling athlon64s by their core- venice or sandiego www.mypcparts.com I just send an email about it since I figured I was purchasing a venice core cpu.. So if I can't get them to give me an exchange it for a...

Stock I idle are like 45C. The other day I checked the temp of the pipes and noticed the bottom pipes are much cooler than the top pipes. Should I try mounting it without a shim to see what it does to my temps?

System is a 6600GT agp, win2k3 with the proper workstation tweaks. Whenever I open a video, it resets the satation to about nothing. Is that just a driver problem, is is there some setting (in driver or the registry) that can fix them? Previous drivers were 67.03, but they dont work in nascar...

I'm running the latest official bios, and wonder if there's an uber modded one to squeeze more mhz out of my 2500+. I am also having some problems running my XMS 3200C2 at 400mhz, currently it tops out around 340mhz, regardless of my voltage of timings/

Works fine with testing, but if go into race mode(practice even), it will crash within 1 minute, more correctly, it reboots the system. Windows takes a note of the unschedualed power down, so not sure what's the problem. I took my 2500@3200 back to 2500, put ram timings back to SPD and put my...

Settings at forced 4X aa and forced 16XAF, driver in quality mode for all but last shot, which is set to HQ mode. I recall seeing a similar issue popup in the game F12002/ the mods, and recall the radeon 9500+ cards having much less jaggies in that game. Is there an answer to why? As you can...

] Settings are 1024x768, maxed game settings(but for the canals benchmarks, I changed world reflect to all in one of the benchmarks, and I enabled sound, then set to 5.1, so the other demos all have completely maxed settings) 4X AA, 8XAF. I must say, this game has horrible aliasing! Far Cry...

I have 512 DDR, 2500+@ 3200, 6600GT, and I was messing around with benchmarking, and demo 1 has massive hitching@ HQ mode, but read below if you think it's ram. I got 40 avg at 1024, but there was places were it would completely pause for a few seconds. I thought it was because I'm dual...

I got a 2500@ 3200+ speeds, and I can't get the ram to run at 400mhz even at cas 3,3,3,1. setup is locked 2500+, SI97, 512 xms 3200C2, abit nf7-S 2.0(possible bios fix?) 6600GT, 420 watt noisetaker. Running 2.9V also. It seems to stop working around 340 mhz. This actually the 2nd stick I got...

Is there a for it, or a driver update(funny since the game is old as hell)? :confused: Also the GTR demo does the same thing. Running the 67.03 drivers

I'm running it at 2200mhz atm, and the load temp is a wopping 55C. It's better than it was before I remounted+ re applied ASC(about same temp at stock speed) but still not what I expected. I did have great difficulty mounting the HSF, the retaining clip was a SOB to get hooked on right, I...

It has been 2 weeks and I haven't heard from them. I'm gonna call them tomorrow to see what's up, but wanna know if any other people's rma for BFG has taken this long.

everything stock. I noticed in 3dmark 03, and in far cry, the image seems to have little black lines over a small area of the screen. Here is a screen shot, btw GPU temp was 44C when I exited, so that shouldn't be the problem. Specs are 2500@ stock, with SI-97+ highoutput panaflow fan, 512...

it's 30-70% with the 67.03 drivers and powerdvd 6. with hardware accelleration enabled. Do I have to install something additiontally besides drivers to get dvd assist to work? With my 8500, it was 20% max :p It's even i progressive for acceleration disabed, while with it enabled, it's...

Ihave the 66.03 driver installed, and power dvd 6, with hardware acceleration turned on, I get about 35% - 70% cpu usage on a 2500+ running at 1950 mhz. Do I need to install something else for dvd assist to work? With my 8500, I just installed the regular cat drivers, and I got 20% max cpu...

Is that some different spec? It's supposed to be pci 2.1, but the small part of the pci card- where it's keyed, is smaller than I've seen. It fit's in the slot fine, but I've hesitant to try it.

Some what disapointed, cuz frys was sold out of BFG 6800's for 250, so I got a BFG 6600GT. I game at either 1024x768 or 1200x900, depending on what the game supports, so I don't think the difference will be that big, cept like in doom 3, and other real GPU intensive tests. Can't use it till...

I'm getting a logitech DFP for xmas, and have only done a little fooling around via keyboard on my 2500+ 8500 64MB 512DDR, and at default settings, 1024 res, it plays fine, but it seems have a stuttering issue, not sure if it's because I only got 512ram or what. thx. I'm thinking about getting...

So is that thing gonna be able to play most games at 1152x864 with 8AA and 16AF untill the R5XX and NV5XX come? I figure 8X FSAA since the low res. I will playing mostly racing sim games, and a few rpg games.

According to tech report, the new price is 300$, which is right up my alley?

didnt see there was a seperate PSU forum...

:confused: Lets see if it truely is an ati game, as I read some users are reporting up to a 40fps gain with "+r_fastzreject 1 " command.

Does modern anti aliasing make it hard to find jaggies with 4AA or 6AA? I hate aliasing, and I am trying to decide where to get a 19" NEC CRT, or a A64+ mobo, and having a hard time deciding. My cpu now is a 2500+@ 2ghz(no name case+ psu) its fine, but it's not as fast as I'd like at...

This xmas, I think I need a bit of an upgrade, I like the thought of a 6800, and a NEC 19" moniter. I play EQ(and EQ2 soon), just got star wars knights of the old republic, and I have the install disc for far cry, but it didn't impress me enough, the AI seems to really dumb, and walking around...

I have a cheapy PSU that came with my case, claims to be a 350watt, 12A on the 12V, 20 on the 3.3, and 30 on the 5V. I have a 2500+(stock), 1 80GB hdd, and a 160GB, abit NF7-S 2.0, 1 dvd rom, 1 dvdr, and 1 case fan. Is it pretty safe to assume it would be pushing it? Right now I pretty much...

2 months or what? I'm in the market for a 200$ card.. to play EQ2 mostly, guess the only game that would stress it that I play. I'm so ready to get a 9800 pro, since im using my ancient 8500, but waiting apparently is good the computer world. So what will it be?

Still using my 8500 64MB here(oem--> retail mod hehe) here, and I need a vid badly, as you may have guessed. This will be a stop gap solution untill I can shell out cash for an A64 system+ X800 XT-PE(, so just need to play all my games at 1024 with atleast 4X AA and atleast 8x AF for 6 months...
