Switch from Nexus One to Palm Pre Plus?

A couple of months back I went from an iphone 3GS to a Sprint Pre (no hacks), and my wife went from a Nexus One to a Pixi (hated the screen keyboard). Not a single problem, (GPS works every time). We have our corporate emails, so the Pre/Pixi are always working, while the iphone lasted only 7...

Sapphire's Non-reference 4850

I have the same setup, but home made. I got a HIS HD4850, and the same Zalman cooler. I also purchased another set of the blue memory sinks for the power relays at the other end of the card. This works great, and the temps are down around 40 allover. I set the GPU at 700 (max), and the...

HD4850/4870 Aftermarket Coolers

I use a ZALMAN VF900 on my HD4850. I have a small case and the PSU is directly above the card. This fits barely, and keeps the temps in the high 50's during game play, with idle in the low 30's. I have it at full speed (no controller), and can barely hear it. The case has a 120mm in the...

Nvida 7100 vs. Intel g33

I am in the process of picking out a mATX MB, and narrowed it down to GIGABYTE GA-73PVM-S2 vs ASUS P5K-VM. The Nvidia is single channel memory, and the G33 is a dual channel memory. That is the only significant difference that I can see. Will the single memory channel significantly affect...

Help pick a new MB

I want something that offers a little upgrade path for future processors. While I will pin mod if needed, I would prefer to have a board capable of OC'ing on its own. I plan on Upgrading my CPU in about 6 months so I would like 1333 FSB support now. I was wondering if any one has any...

Help pick a new MB

Thanks for the advice, but a Pin Mod is still a very last resort. I looked at the P5K-VM and couple of G33 boards from Intel, and MSI. They apear to allow what I am looking for. Which is to run my E2160 at 333, and the RAM at 667 or 800. I also saw a couple of Nvidia 7150 chipsets that will...

Help pick a new MB

I need a micoATX board that will support 4gb of ram. I have a very capable E2160, but the Asus P5KPL-CM I purchased only has 1/2 and 3/5 memory dividers which raise my DDRII800 to high at anything above 260FSB. I just wanted to run the FSB at 333 (1333), and the memory at 333 (DDRII667)...

help with mid range card

Received, and installed AIW X800XT. The increase is great. At 1280X1024 with the 9700PRO I would dip into the teens (fps) in IL-2 PF, and that was without aa or af. With the X800 at 1280x1024 with 4aa & 8af the game looks great, and no stutters, and not once did it drop below 30fps. I ran a...

6800 GS AGP Difficulties

It could be the 89C (192F) at full load, hell even the 62c (144F) at idle seems high. I do not have a 6800 with which to compare. But I would suggest you look at the ventilation, and see if your fans are running okay.

x1600pro marks/numbers (better than 970pro?) AGP

I asked the same exact question. You can read the responses here[L=here]. I went for an x800xt AIW since I was able to get a used one for 200, which was a little above my budget, but I sold the 9700PRO for 50. I searched the benchmarks on different pages and found these averages = 3dmark05...
