    6800 vs 6800gt

    Looking at Anand's reviews you find that the 6800nu leads the value charts (mouse over them for the value ratings). Personally the 6800GT is a nice card, but I play at 1024x768 or 1280x1024 on most games and don't use AA at all. Not what most people do, but that is me. I decided to save the...

    6800 GT not reaching full potential?

    Yup. I got a 6800 - regular; if you can still return the card I would get the regular and use that money for the other new parts. The improvement in performance over the regular was not enough, at the resolution I play at, for me to warrant an extra $100+tax

    6800 vs. 6800 GT

    Given the new 6800 series... I have a question based on the recent AT article that ranked cards for price performance ratio. It would appear that the 6800NU is the best buy for the money in the price/performance ratio (NVIDIA camp). I was happy with my Far Cry performance, and happy with my...

    Should I upgrade to 2GB of memory?

    Dave: So a gig would be more than adequate - the extra gig would only cost $200 but it is money I could use on other things.

    Should I upgrade to 2GB of memory?

    Actuall microsoft purchased the company and now sells the product - Virtual PC 2004. The problem I have is that I don't yet have Virtual PC so I don't have any good way of forcasting ram usage. I haven't exceeded my ram yet - the closest I have come is when I play game; which I wouldn't do...

    Should I upgrade to 2GB of memory?

    I am thinking of upgrading from 1GB of memory to 2GB or memory. I will be running Virtual PC on Windows XP (the virtual machine would be Windows Server 2003 for use in studying for my MCSE exams and for testing configuration changes)... Just need opinions about the value of an additional GB of...

    Built System...No video signal

    whoa - Unless I missed it I didn't see that you got video on post. Did you get video on post? Did you see your bios? If not then I have to ask another stupid question... does the 9800XT require external power? Is that hooked up? To test the video card is dead theory you might want to go to...

    GeForce 5700 Ultra OR Radeon 9600 XT

    I went with the 5700U - the cost is lower than the 9600XT due to rebates. Best buy had the BFG for $149 which is a great price.

    Poll:Incompatibility Issues: ATI vs Nvidia

    I have had a TNT2, GeForce DDR, GeForce 3 ti 200, ATI 9500Pro, ATI 9700 Pro, and a 5700Ultra. Both ATI cards failed for differing reasons. The 9700Pro only came up with black and white - even at boot time so it wasn't a drive issue. The 9500 Pro caused my PC to only warm boot - it wouldn't cold...

    new board cpu and pc wont boot....

    First you need memory - but you should get a beep code indicating that you don't. If you are not getting a beep code then I would: Get the memory Reseat the processor Try booting again.

    Swaping motherboard & processor

    Cool. I was just looking to see if you had a reason for disliking the sysprep process. Basically sysprep wipes the system of all the drivers and their registry settings - when you boot up it will reinstall everything; which is usually faster than a repair from my experience.

    Intel D865GRH - TPM

    Has anyone used the TPM and Embassy Suite features of this motherboard yet? I am considering turning it on and putting my MS Money and Simply Accounting data files inside the protected space. The brief information that Intel gives you is just not enough to feel comfortable with.

    Will your IP Address change if you never shut off your router? MN 500

    It depends on the ISP. I have roadrunner and have had the same IP address now for almost a year. Their lease period is 72 hours as well. Usually they force IP changes where I am once a year. I use my Netgear Router in conjunction with DYNDNS.org to keep my DNS resolution working after they...

    Swaping motherboard & processor

    If the OS is XP or 2000 you could do a sysprep just before swapping stuff out. That should work 98% of the time. Just to be safe backup all the configuration settings and files she needs. I just upgraded my wife as well, but it was to an entirely different box.

    After Christmas: What to do with the money

    I was a bit luckier and got a giftcert from BestBuy (I like their return policies better than CompUSA); the only problem is that I ran out and used it to buy a 5700u (I got the giftcert over the weekend) and now I just got another $170.00 so I could have gotten the 5900U or the 9800Pro... damn...

    Intel confirms existence of X86-64 Yamhill chip

    I can only tell you that Intel was working on this chip over two years ago - my brother was one of the Engineers who worked on the production line for it. This work was in the theoretical phase - like how they would convert an existing line to produce this chip. I am not an engineer so I didn't...

    9800pro now or wait?

    I picked up a 5700U for $149 to tide me over; I had to get a new card because I was building a new computer. I had a GeForce 3 Ti200 paired with an Athlon 1800+. Now I have a P4 3.0 with the 5700 and my performance is very good with the current games. I am saving my money for the next generation...

    Front USB ports

    If you are talking about checking the pins on the motherboard - they are for USB 2.0. Says so in the manual and on-line in the support section. If you are talking about the pin out on the USB port PCB in the front of the case I haven't looked at that.

    Front USB ports

    Hey guys - I got a UNEEC 601UAB case and was curious if the front USB ports are limited to 1.0. The reason is that I just got a 256mb USB 2.0 Flash Drive and it is not working from the front ports, but works fine from the rear. My USB mouse works fine from the front though - so I know that USB...

    Strange problem.....need help on sudden reboot.

    Did you install any kind of software? Are you able to post? Did you hit "F8" and revert to last known good settings? I had a similar experience this morning when I loaded the patch to RecordNow Max and the DLA product. I had to uninstall DLA before my machine wouldn't reboot automagically.
