    State of the SLI..... should I take the plunge?

    Hey guys, I just got far cry 2 and realized it's time for a hardware upgrade. The problem is, my case is physically not big enough (length-wise) to take a millimeter longer than my current card, an 8800 GT. So, I'm thinking another would be a good option, as they are a great value these days if...

    FX-60 Upgrade?

    I just came across an FX-60 for a pretty reasonable $100. I'm currently running a Toledo core Athlon X2 4400+. Will there be a very noticeable performance gain from upgrading to an FX-60? I'm thinking there would be, because 2.2 to 2.6 is a gain of 20% in terms of speed. Obviously, I wouldn't...

    Fahcore_11.exe Initialization Failure

    So, I've been trying for a while now to get my 8800GT folding. It isn't. I have 177.35, CUDA toolkit 2.0 (which I hear isn't needed, but it got rid of my "can't find CUDART.dll error), on Vista 64 bit. When I run the client, Fahcore_11.exe fails to initialize and spits out error 0xc000007b. I...

    Help! Xbox not Connecting to School Network

    So I have what is (to me, anyways) a hell of a situation. I just moved back into the dorms at my college, and I encountered a problem for the first time on Thursday in about a year on the university network. My Xbox wouldn't connect to the net. I ran their tests, IP confirmed, but DNS failed. I...

    Vista DEP shuts down Search Indexer- help?

    So I recently started having a problem in my Vista Ultimate install where DEP (Data Execution Prevention) will shut down the Vista Search Indexer. I have looked online, but I can't find anything about this problem. Of course, I can completely shut down DEP, but I'd like to know if anything is...

    Is XFX RMA usually this bad?

    So I have been waiting for my XFX 7900gt RMA for 3 days shy of a month now. The card tested bad about 3 weeks ago at their facility, and I have been waiting that long to get a replacement. They made me a little happier by saying they were out of 7900gt's and would upgrade me to a 7950gt at no...

    Question about recent computer instability

    To those who read this and give me an opinion, thank you very much. About 3 weeks ago, my friend was watching TV on my computer (TV tuner card) and it shut down without warning. When he turned it back on, the POST screen was very, very colorful and characters were corrupted. I sent it into XFX...

    K8N-SLI Fails to Boot sometimes, memory related?

    So I have been having a problem with my MSI K8N-SLI recently, and this problem came up fairly abruptly, with no hardware changes or even the case being open in the 2-3 weeks preceeding this little problem. When I turn on my computer, sometimes it does not boot. It begins the little screen that...

    Upgrading from 1 to 2 GB: Worth it?

    Hi everyone, I have looked through the forums here, read that people are happy with upgrades from 1 to 2 gb, and I am thinking hard about it. I recently built my rig, and I love the thing. The 7900gt allows me to play almost everything maxed out, with AA, except oblivion (duh) and FEAR. The only...
