The triple core processor isn't a true tri-core. It is a quad core with one core "disabled". They haven't said why yet as far as I know, but I suspect they are using quadcores with one bad core and marketing them as tri-cores. Amd cant afford to just throw away processors that didn't quite make...

+1 for the set affinity thing. I have to do that for frets on fire when I play that. It works with dual core, just runs much better with only one core enabled.

I think he already has the e6600 and is wondering if the upgrade to the q6600 is worth it. Not that he wants to choose between the two. The q6600 is essentially two e6600's. If you can turn around sell the e6600 for a reasonable price, I would say go for it. But if your not running more than...

I found 2 x 7800Gt's on my local craigslist for 130$. Which isn't bad. I had just bought my 8800gts and now have 2 7600gs on my hands so i didn't jump on it. But ya, 100 doesn't seem too bad for a 7800gtx.

Id check the driver issue. And type dxdiag into run and check what comes up there. But you coulda potentially got a 8600gts with a 8800gts heatsink on it or something crazy if it wasnt from a reputable dealer. That 3dmark06 score is seriously resembling what the 8600gts/gt's get. But...

Well thats good for you! Glad your temps went down. You should check your ambient temps though. Even if you can't feel a temp difference, it is often enough to sway cpu temps and others. It could just be a coincidence that the temp went down the day you redid the as5. But if not, good for...

I noticed a big difference on my 22" monitor switching from VGA to DVI. It only occured with certain colors and color patterns (atleast thats only what my eye could see) but with the VGA on the 22" there seemed to be quite a bit of "noise" I guess you would call it. Quite distracting in some...

I haven't taken the time to install NTune yet. I downloaded it but haven't had the time. I am under the understanding though that they are making it "easier" for users to overclock by just using their new program nTune. Instead of using a reg hack, I think they just made it so all you have...

Ya, you want clamps to connect the tubes to the barbs. Theresthatguys list was very nice for the set of parts, but you seriously are going to need more than a single radiator for those 3 parts. As I said in the other post, I would use the 2x120 from the kit, and maybe get another 120 or 2x120...

I just got that same Swiftech kit. It is actually pretty nice. It pretty much had most of the parts that I wanted anyways. Except I got the chipset block as well. Those Black Pearls can run on 1/2 inch or 3/8 inch setups so you would be fine with that kit. Yes, you can just attach the tubing...

Well, Welcome to Computer Forum!!! First we need to know what types of things you are looking to do on your new laptop. Are you a serious gamer? If you are, I looked through most of the notebooks from cyberpowerpc and didn't really see any real powerhouse machines. The 8600gt-m is a decent...

Have you had the chance to grab a speaker and see what pattern of beeps your getting. As said before by oscaryu, beeps would help us try to narrow down what the problem could potentially be.

So, your computer/mobo was running fine while it was in the case and now you have it on the antistatic bag its not working right? Am I correct on what you just meant there. I still dont think it takes the mobo out of the situation. If the bags are "conductive" you have to worry about the...

Im probably just a packrat, but... never throw away a psu that actually works! You never know when you might have a need for it.

Surprised no one has said this yet but... Those anti-static bags are designed to transfer the static electricity from the item in the bag, so a static charge doesn't build up on the item in the bag. This is atleast as far as I know. Otherwise you'd get static buildup on the item in the bag...

Another vote here for the 7950gt if he's gonna be running xp.

Thanks Twolves. I haven't decided yet, but I think I will get the 8800 from evga, then I have the ability to upgrade if I choose to around Christmas and get money from family or whatever. Either way I need New Drives and and the fans for the casemod (and Ive been dealing with finicky drives for...

Well Ive been contemplating upgrading my pc for months. Ever since I bought my 22" monitor back on my birthday in May. Computers are my life, everything revolves around them, and yet no income is based off them yet so justification of spending money on something I technically dont need is...

Ya, I have a single 22" monitor and two 7600gs' and I did notice a hit in performance, its inevitable when upping the resolution, but I love the 22" monitor. And Im sure that you Intel, will love your 2 22" as well. One thing I can tell you with the bigger monitor. Once you get used to...

HL2 Lost Coast is yes the only level. It was designed to be a tech demo for what they could do when they didn't have to cater to the lowest denominator that is lowend gaming pc users. They wanted to showcase what they could do with the source engine beyond what they did with HL2. I know...
