I am looking to get a video card that can run mw2/l4d2 decently. It does not have to be the best but have some eye candy. I know my cpu and ram would be the bottleneck. My current system specs are in my sig. I can run mw2 at 1024x768 and med/low settings with most effects on off. I was...

I am looking to get one for digital cable (hi def sports), dvd movies and ps2/wii gaming. I know people will say Westy, but I have $1500 to shell out. I am sure I can get a quality sharp/sony 26"-32" for that kind of money. I know sony has the new S-Models for their Bravia line. Just...

i just recently picked up a Segate ST3320620AS. I have Windows XP on it. I was playing a game and then suddenly my whole machine locks up then reboots ~30sec later. Now everytime I powerup my pc, it stops and reboots as soon as it gets to the windows splash screen. Is this a hardware...

I recently purchased a pair of Corsair XMS 3200C2PT 2x1GB Kit. However my board is reading them as 3-3-4-8 2T. I want to run them at their intended speed of 2-3-3-6 1T. I was wondering when changing the voltage for the memory, would I need to change the voltage on the CPU as well? From...

I just bought a pair of Corsair XMS 3200C2PT 2x1GB Kit. After installing the memory I noticed in the bios that the latency for the ram was running at 3-3-4-8 2T. From what I hear this pair should be running at 2-2-3-6 1T with no problem. So I configured it to 2-2-3-6 1T. Running windows...

Would WoW perform better going from 2x512mb to 2x1gb? Is there a significant difference to make the upgrade?

Anyone know what revision the board is currently? I know 1.02 is out, but is there a 1.03 due?

Moderator please delete.

I currently have a AMD 64 3500+. I was able to score the X2 3800+ deal at Fry's. From what I hear most games only support single cores. But since WoW is not really graphically based, will dual core help it out? The only other game I play is CoD 2 which I hear is supported by dual core...

I currently have a 6600GT in my setup. I am upgrading to a Sli system and have my eye on a 7800GT. My question is which manufacturer is better overall, evga or xfx? I plan on getting either of these two: evga 7800GT 516 version (460/1100)...

I currently have an Intel setup. I am told for gaming AMD is the way to go. I am looking at the 3500 Venice or the 3700 San Diego. I know opteron and x2 are the better way to go but since this is my first AMD setup I want to keep costs down (less than $250 for the CPU). What benefits...

I am currently running a P4 2.4 Northwood. I am running on 1gb of Corsair XMS but it only runs @ 333mhz low latency ram. I want to upgrade my set up to the following: - P4 3.2 (640) - MSI 865PE Neo3-F - Corsair XMS 3200CP I was wondering if the upgrade will be worth it. I only...

It's next week. Anyone here going to the biggest game convention in the US? I'm looking forward to seeing the setups, plasma/HD screens galore. Now that XBox 360 has been "officially" unvieled, wondering if Sony will display or reveal stuff on the PS3. I guess we will have to wait and find...

I have a Jan Rev A01 monitor. I've had it since about the end of Jan and it came with very minimal backlighting issues and not dead pixels. All of a sudden when I get home and turn on my pc, I notice flashing red pixels all over the screen. It seems apparent to only certain colors. When I...

When I play dvds for some reason it seems to be pixelated and dark. I used both power dvd xp 4.0 and the trial version of power dvd 6. I've played with the picture settings (theater, vivid, etc.) and for some reason picture quality doesn't seem as natrual as it does on my sony tv. BTW I am...

Well since a lot of people here have been asking about what speakers they should get, I thought I would start a thread on what speakers people are using and their opinions about them. I just bought the Logitech Z-5300e from newegg for ~$160 shipped. This is going to be for a typical size...

I currently have an Audigy 2 ZS for sound. I am going to buy either the Logitech z-5300e or the z-5500 but I have a few questions: 1. Is there that big of a difference between digital v. analog when playing dvds. 2. Do I need digital speakers (i.e. z-5500) with optical connection for my...

This is what I want to setup: PS2 >>> Component cables >>> video in on my 6600GT >>> connected to a 2005FPW. As far as I know that works well. Now as for the sound, I have a Audigy2 ZS. Is there a type of cable I can buy at r@dio shack that I can use to convert the RCA audio into my...

Are both of these Presscotts? P4 3.2E 800FSB mPGA478 P4 3.2E 800FSB LGA775 Which board would be better 865PE 478 or 865PE 775.

I'm planning to order either of these two in the next few days: [MSI 875P Neo-FISR] or the [MSI 865PE Neo2-PFS (Platinum Edition)] I'm mostly going to play just games and using it for the internet. Why would the 875 be better than the 865 aside from it having RAID. The 875 is approx. $25...

For any of those that have a MSI 6600GT AGP, have any of you guys had problems. The only problem I've heard was that heatsinks came off? Is this true? I've had an GF4 Ti4200 128MB and currently using a 5700Ultra, both MSI. Never had a problem with either. I seen reviews and a lot of...

Is 300w PS good enough to run a 6600GT?

My rig is the following: P4 2.4B MSI 845PE_Max-FISR MSI GF-FX 5700 Ultra 128MB Corsair-XMS 1GB Since I just bought a 2005FPW (jumped on it for $560 shipped to CA) which is on order and to arrive by the 17th, I wanted to have the best video output possibe. I am going to order a 6600GT...

I have a WD800JB SATA drive which I just finished installing XP on it. When it boots up for the first time after the install it blue screened with the following: Stop: 0x0000007b.... It says reset it if its the first time it comes up. I reset it and everytime it comes up with that...

I have a MSI 845PE that has SATA but I think it only works in a RAID Array. When I try to install windows on it is says "Cannot write to the disk" something like that. Is the SATA controller on this board made as RAID supported only? Any advice? [edit] It is a RAID / SATA board. Does this...

Is it too late to preorder (from Gamestop / EB ???). I didn't reserve because I was planning on getting the silver or gold version online. After finding out you just get the download and no actual disc I'm thinking about getting it retail. I'm also thinking that it might be a looooong night...

Is the Steam Gold version worth it over the Retail CE version? What do you guys think?

Will DDR-400 Ram work in a board that supports only DDR-333 at the max? I know ram is backwards compatible but will the board take the 400 and read it as a 333. Will it be bad for the board? I want to get the 400 ram now because im getting a board that supports the 400mhz at the end of the...

My Specs are: P4 2.4B 533-FSB 512 Corsair XMS 2700LLPT MSI GeforceFX 5700 Ultra I have my settings set to 1024x768 High Detail. AA/AF and v-sync off. Using 67.11 drivers with DX9b installed. Standing still looks awesome, but when im moving around (in the beggining area) every 3-5...

I have searched everywhere on this forum but could not find anything so I'm starting a new thread. I have a 600m that I use with Intel Pro Wireless 2100 3A. I have a pretty solid connection on my Linksys BEF11S4 v4 router. I was just wondering will there be a noticible improvement if I go...
