I'm looking at a Gigabyte board, this one: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-990FXA-UD3-990FX-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B0055QYKQO/ref=cm_lmf_tit_2_rsrsrs0 First of all, is it a good board, second, whats the best AMD CPU?RAM combo I can pair with it - that isnt like...

Any sites that still carry them? I need a mobo for one, I figure its better than replacing everything for 4-500 bones. If anyone can list a site that would be awesome.

Sorry, I've been out of the loop for a while as far as pcs are concerned and now it looks like I have to get a new board/CPU and RAM. What's a decent setup/good bang for the buck for gaming/performance? I'd at least like to have a 4 core CPU and 4GB RAM and a good board if possible. Be it...

I don't use this pc much but the last time I used it it was perfectly fine which was a while ago. Now I turn it on for my ex's kid so he can play spore and whenever I start ANY game it freezes at the start of the game. Thought it was a driver issue, changed drivers. Then that didn't work so I...

Was thinking about this, then googled, and I cant find anything past 2010 on getting them to work together since nvidia lifted the 'ban' on disabling physx when you tried to use the 2 together. I have an 8800GTX that I'm not doing anything with and thought I'd give it a shot. Question is...

Just wanted to fire up the Mamba for a change of pace after using the G700 for so long. Got the drivers installed, firmware was updated, and the DPI wont adjust on the mouse. In other words its set at one speed and it wont change no matter what I try. On the fly sensitivity doesnt work even...

Hey, I'm looking for either another 4GB (I have 4GB already) of corsair XMS2-PC6400 that I'm not using at the moment (expensive to buy right now) or something comparable altogether that isn't in the hundreds of dollars. Actually I'm using 4GB of OCZ PC-9600 FLEXXLC but want to jump to 8GB and...

Hey all, long time no see.....I have a weird PC problem - yesterday when I'm on the net downloading some files, i decide to fire up nexuiz and game out while i'm waiting, and 3 minutes into the game the PC shuts right down, completely off. About 5 seconds go by and the PC powers itself back...

Old game is old lol but i was going to play through it again for the hack of it and i came across a youtube video showing all kinds of new weapons using the 'missing information' mod. installed both mods, and supposedly there are console commands where it will give you new weapons and such...

for one of the buttons? I was able to make one with the ikari laser but with the xai its about impossible since the macro wont record a double mouse click. anyone tried this yet? i usually use the middle mouse click as a double click but there is no option even in the dropdown menu to...

when gaming lately. mainly any of the new titles after about a half hour. the pc will lock up and i have to do a hard reboot or shut it down for a while. the lockups aren't too often but the smell is more often - it smells like burning wires and when i touch the back honeycomb part of the PSU...

i can figure it out. by the way, is that the last level?

anywhere? i'm about to upgrade to a quad core system (but not strictly for gaming) and just wanted to know if there is a list or certain games that benefit from quad core yet - i've only heard valve does so far, maybe not? i know assassins creed was the first game to be released REQUIRING a...

right now i'm looking at an evga 790i ultra sli or gigabyte GA-X48DQ6 or Intel BOXDX48BT2 i read the evga has data corruption issues though what about X38 boards, will they support the Q9450? thanks all:D

i havent seen many - prolly FEAR and AVP (AVP getting the nod over FEAR for suspense) freaked me out the most but i havent seen anything come out that really gave them a run for their money..... anything out there that makes you say jump out of your seat and say HOLY CRAP:eek:when you play it?

i'm having to constantly log in after every page i go to, after any post, i dont get it. i've had to log in FIVE times just to post ONE post in the displays section and post this post. i'm betting i'll have to log in after i submit this thread also. anyone know whats going on?

*spoilers* where you have to take out the last Blind Behemoth with church and her blade you have to hit up down up left right when she falls hit right, down and no matter how many times i get this perfect she still dies and i cant advance:( wtf im doing this perfect and every single...

is it an RPG or similar in playing style as hellgate? or is it strictly MMO? how about tabula rasa, does that have any single player content or is that one a MMO only also?

WTF is wrong with this game? i cant get into it for 10 minutes before it crashes like hell this is w/updated drivers and the 1.1 patch i even went to the 2K forums and they said the 'workaround' is to turn off hardware onenAL - i did and that actually worked for a whole level before it...

I remember seeing it where there was this little guy that started to follow you around in the game. i wanted to show a friend who's been playing it on the 360 who is halfway through that doesnt have a clue what i'm talking about who hasnt come across it yet. there were screenshots of the...

"use the turret on the demon" quest i think kind of far into the game i am using the turrets and its making the demon shrink and a bunch of hellbores come out and make your life miserable while the demon grows to full size again, hit it with another gun, rinse and repeat...... what am i...

A quick review so far of this monitor......i dont have any pics yet. No dead pixels. *whew* Even backlighting. Wonderful colors. Impressive to someone who isnt impressed with lcd technology to begin with. Maximum brightness is not overbearing, surprisingly. Calibrates nicely using the...

feast your eyes, boys....look at the size of this monster:D apparently on sale soon, read more details here http://gizmodo.com/342366/ati-r680-graphics-card-is-1000x-faster-than-a-cray+1-supercomputer also here...

These look like the best bang for the buck for pro LCD's. I would look into the 2690 but they are backordered everywhere. Does anyone own one of these and what do you think? dead pixels, uneven backlighting, etc...... How are the blacks, i know the contrast ratio is is little under the...

I don't know what happened, I turned off the PC last night, everything was fine, and today I notice that there is no speaker in the taskbar. I go into sound properties and it says there is no audio device found.:mad: I go into device manager and it say the auzentech cannot be enabled because...

Anything out there? its like they went out of style fast, with hardly anything coming out. :( the last one i remember being any good at all was freespace 2:confused: i havent seen anything in years actually, am i missing out on some good ones that i dont know about?

i thought games would use the ICC profile set by a hardware calibrator, but they dont. well, some of mine do, but not all. does anyone know why this is? kind of depressing when some games use the default monitor settings before calibration, which is resetting to factory defaults and then...

Hey all, do you think Phenom will be available widespread next week at newegg or tigerdirect or places like that? I've seen a couple preorder places but they are already backordered some - cant wait to get my hands on one:D if anyone knows a preorder place please post the link:D

:confused: any official release date?

i'm thinking of getting a blu-ray player (mainly for data backup:D) but when i decide to watch blu ray movies, what software is there to use? i heard movie player software doesnt come with the player :( thanks...

hey all, I downloaded ubuntu 7.10 and went to install it but after the initial startup screen my monitor just shuts itself off and i can go no further. any clues as to whats going on? i'm guessing drivers on the video card? rig is in the sig, thanks...

Hmm, anyone have any brands/models? I was looking into getting an intel CPU but I will probably wait until the new line of AMD CPU's come out the 19th - anyone know of any boards that'll support the new chips? thanks...

I'm getting different date here does anyone REALLY know? best buy: 10/31 amazon: 11/27 :eek: IGN 10/30 (today) gamesdaily 10/30 buy.com 10/31 most other places say today. i go to the bestbuy website and its still a preorder WTH?:confused:

Is it somewhere on the net or can you buy it from somewhere? Awesome, i'd say its better than Ep 1 AND HL 2, its got some cool jams on it especially when you first run into the hunters:cool:

I've been looking for a board for awhile now and cant seem to settle on one:mad: a board that has : a floppy input for possible diagnostics/SATA drivers eSATA on the back supports core2 quad extreme DDR2 Raptor compatibility does not have X38 chipset nvidia nforce chipset (ethernet...

The GTX I just got - the fan doesn't spin up very much under load. Even though its not loud I can tell by the airflow coming out, which isnt more than idle. Is rivatuner supposed to control the fan speed, does it not spin up under load unless rivatuner is installed and tells it to? The PSU...

Just wondering, cause I picked up a GTX - ATi uses a separate Avivo package to render dvd's and video better, does nVidia use anything like that or is it all in the same driver package? Thanks!:)

and picked up an nvidia 8800GTX. I feel like a traitor :( :( :o There are some main reasons for this: ATi's lack of new hardware. I have always liked ATi hardware and preferred them but they are lagging and right now even in CF mode, I wanted performance i wasn't getting. I didn't think...

Hmmm......interesting, nothing like that with the 7.9 drivers...the only reason I installed these is because DIRT crashes with CF enabled with the 7.9 drivers, and that issue is fixed with the 7.10's......:mad: Gee, so I get to deal with artifacting in Portal, OR DIRT crashing :rolleyes:
