Ok, ya built it yourself? than it's probably something you have done rather than a hardware defect. Try the new bios and get back to us, also, give the list of components please.

Man, that is damn funny. Peter, the Nazi Flag, Swatstika, etc. were symbols for the German National Socialist Party long before Hitler killed Jews. It is irrational and irresponsible to associate symbols with specific actions. Perhaps to the most easily offended, they could instantly think of the Ho...

Sisoft Sandra, it has modules and benches that'll give you pretty close performance ratings and very detailed info.

The extra 256k gives you a boost in certain applications, not games though, They do come with at least 166fsb but any xp can handle 166fsb. If you're going to overclock, they can do about the same 2.2-2.4 depending on your cooling but it's harder to reach 2.4 with a barton and have a high FSB. With ...

griffin, no. Ever see a neo-nazi protest? Any symbol can be displayed by any person on their property. That also includes their person but when that person is on someone elses property, they can be asked to leave and forceably removed if they won't go. "I think, therefore, I am correct." a...

ok, since you didnt even know video cards have a bios, how about give us a rundown of your components and their settings, perhaps it is something else. Brand new machine eh, what kind is it?

Get a Forton\Sparkle. Yes a Forton Sparkle, get one. I don't know how many times people can't read reviews and fnid out that Fortong\Sparkle are the best bang for the buck and they pack a lot of juice. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDe ... 962&depa=0

Thankfully in the United States there is the freedom of speech and someone can display a swatstika on their property all they want, thus the ridicule of microsoft is rediculous. Not because it's just bitching, or because theyre afraid of the consequences\influences, but because they have a right to ...

I very recently got a powercolor 9700 pro from the egg, a refurb for 151. So far with stock cooling and AS3 to replace that pad crap, I got the core up to 370 and the ram 320(640). I had no problems with any games because I first uninstalled my old card, and also ran a nvidia file removing utility. ...

Well I haven't posted in this for a while but I'm sure you'll all love to hear this. A little itty bitty piece of AGP connector on my Ti4200 somehow managed to come off when I took it out for dusting. So now my Ti4200 is basically irreparably dead (I had a spare crappy pci something card and tried t...

It's been said, if you're a gamer, than windows is your only choice<my situation in a nutt shell.

Tagrineth - I see now, I'll be seeing a prettier picture too (getting money for a 9600 pro) Thanks for setting me straight.

Infin8Cyn - Than you should have undoubtedly seen the excellent value in DX8 situations with the ti4200 over the 9600. Remember the math\percentage post?

Electrical seepage is the big wall that's being hit, things like strained silicon, soi, etc aren't providing a large enough power drop to keep the seepage to nominal levels and that's why temps are going up so much. If Prescott is to hit 4.2ghz, Intel is going to really have to find a lucky star. I ...

I'm curious, did you just wire your speakers wrong? Do you have the headphone jack going directly to your speakers or what? Whatever the case, you could buy a Y cable, Male stereo to male RCA and than by a female RCA to female stereo, and simply reverse them so the colors don't match, i think that w...

512Mb will do you just fine unless you multi task to the extreme. Right now I have 7 IE windows open, Kazaa downloading 7 files, QCD playing OPM, and Seti@home doing its thing and I'm only using 313MB. Games of course take much more, and graphics design, even more. So if you play 2 games at once, 1g...
