Testing my patience ... stupid computer locks up during games

Update: Finally found a setting that doesn´t crash the video card. Had to underclock both the card memory and GPU to 400Mhz (default is 500MHz on each), which severly hampers performance. But hey! I can play games without crashing now. It should still be under warranty, so maybe I´ll...

Testing my patience ... stupid computer locks up during games

Right now, I'm running it outside my case. So, case temp is negligible. I will try to underclock the video memory. It's got heatsinks on it ... so I expect the same results. The card was fine in its first year or two of service. In the last year, its been shoddy. Don't know if it's the...

Dell new 20" wide LCD 2005FPW. Has anyone seen this beast?

Got my replacement. Jan. A01 revision. Unfortunately, the backlight is worse than my Dec. A00. No dead pixels on either one. Is it a problem to return the replacement and keep the original? When I requested a replament I remember giving them the serial number of my lcd. Any thoughts?

Is $300 a good price for the new X800 XT All in Wonder??

I work at MS, too. Where are you seeing the X800 XT price for $250? When I go to the internal msmarket site, and navigate to the 'Dell MS periperals and 3rd party hardware' portal I see it for $477. I've been looking around for video cards on the ms internal sites and that's all I can find...

***OFFICIAL*** UEFA Euro 2004 thread

Anybody in West LA wanna watch the games? I ordered the whole package. One caveat, though, I have to charge ~$5/day. I have absolutely no interest in making money off this, but the package costs me $180, and all I want to do is recoup some of the cost. The pubs in LA are charging $20/day. PM me...

Authentic / Official Adidas Men's Real Madrid Jersey in Black. $39.99

i don't know what jersey this is .. but this is not their game jersey ... no Siemen's mobile logo. Maybe it's a training jersery or something. Great team. The Yankees of football/soccer. Go Ronaldo (the other one ... ManU)!

*Now Running* It's Back! The Official MSN Holiday Rewards Thread!

Yeah, I remember this. Thanks for doing all that research. Man, I remember you going into chipset features, pros and cons of every single model. And then, which laptops were part of the deal and which were not. And loopholes in their system. Finally ended up with an inspiron 8000. LOL.
