Aww, I never get around to qualifying for these, sure I love reading the forums, but I guess I'm just not that active a member . Congrats to whoever gets it!

Ok another question, this mainly out of curiosity. I've been reading a lot about the video card I ordered, the 8800 GT 512mb, and keep hearing mid-end. I asked myself, with all of my current setup including the 8800, what am I considered? I never really understood how they rate you(you know, just th...

Excellent, the next obvious question would be what are the drawbacks? I how much of a performance loss would I suffer? More or less.

I have an eVGA nForce 680I SLI, I'm looking to upgrade my video card, from the 8600 GTS to the either an 8800 GT or one of the 9 series cards, now, I can only find a card with PCI-E 2.0, if I buy this card, will it work with my board?

I do realize that the explanation I gave was too vague. Turns out that the problem was the Wolfdale E8400 Core 2 Duo processor will not run on the EVGA Nvidia 680i SLI Motherboard without a bios update. I ran the update with my old chip, put the new Core 2 dup, booted right up... I do apologize for ...

i just got my core 2 in, installed it, when i hit the power button everything kicks on,fans turn, cd drive comes on, but i get no boot, what the heck could be causing this?i've got the lga775 nvidia 680i so Idont think that is a problem, any suggestions?

The reason that TF2 ran well on your computer probably isn't the CPU but rather the GPU. Laptops, in general, don't have GPUs that are as powerful as a desktop GPU in the same price category. The amount of RAM in each system will make quite a difference as well. As for CPUs, the E8400 would be a gr...

Alright, here is the deal, I'm gonna' be getting a new processor here pretty soon, and am wondering what to get. Right now I have a P4 3.2 GHZ with HT-Tech, single core of course. I'm looking at getting a Core 2 E8400, since it is the fastest I can get clocked at 3.0 GHZ without having to spend $900...

Wow, that is all I can say right now. If you can see my specs in my signature, you know what I was playing the Crysis demo on. I was pleasantly surprised, I at first I allowed to game to auto-detect the best settings, and obviously it chose low for everything. "Absurd!" I exclaimed, surely...

Well, DMB2000uk, I tried all of what you said, except messing with the PSU, it is just about brand new. Anyway, I got to looking on the a forum dedicated to 680i problems, and came across a PDF of the MB's manual online, the board in the box only comes with a small sheet of instructions ( go figure ...

Ok, here is the thing, I just baught an nVidia 680i motherboard. As I was hooking everything in, I was surprized to find that it has an 8-pin 12v connector, I looked through my power supplies different connections, and it only has a 4-pin. Ok not too hard to solve, I baught a 4-pin to 8-pin 12v adap...

The hardest part of the game to me was the respawn of bandits. I would spend 1 hour and 15 Quick Loads dispatching a group of bandits only to find them in the same spot when I came back. Finally I just downloaded a trainer and cheated through half the game. When you QA test a game one of the criter...

Ahh sweet, see I knew it was a simple question

Hello, I've got a friend who can't remember his password for anything, this is on a Windows 2000 system, and I was wondering, instead of formatting the whole shebang, is there a way I can just reset the password to the windows login?

This has always confused me, I don't really know why they do it, let me give you an example.

DDR2 at 800mhz, is also PC2-6400

Can someone explain this?

Welcome! now start folding :) :drinkers: Yes, the folding, I'm still not quiet clear on what the heck that is. I mean I read a bit about it, 'protein folding' I believe, was the fault of proteins going nuts for whatever reason and causing certain ailments. I understand that part, but what does proc...

Ohh how I know what you mean, let me give you a little story, a story about a girl named Douchy. In the beginning it was me and my good buddy, we went out, had fun, drank beers, just had a good 'ol time. As things progressed, we both found dates, and little did I know it, the girl he was dating slow...

Well, this isn't really my first post, but I registered about two days ago, and missed this 'Please introduce yourself request' so here goes.
