it seems so far that my search for a 5800 series card is going to take a while longer. Not too many Canadian retailers are stocking this as of now. And it seems that it will be a while before many of the more accessible retailers will have the cards on their shelves.
I hope that before the...
wow those were fast replies. I have a SLI/CF board it's an msi x58 pro-e so it's not such a bad board.
I will definitely take a look at getting a 5870 then. Thank you for such quick replies all.
Hey there, i'm not too familiar with the world of video cards, so i just wanted to ask for some advice here.
I currently have a BFG 9800GX2, and i was considering upgrading to a ATI 5xxx series card. I"m not even sure though if it would be an upgrade..
I have a core i7 920 and 12g of ram...
I built a new i7 system, thinking it would be killer.
I'm sure it would be, except for the fact that i'm having mad problems with it.
It happens the most when i'm playing WoW. It does it for other games like Aion and NFS: Shift as well.
I freeze randomly and without warning. The system...
i've been looking for a thread like this.
What i'm reading here is that using Windows 7 RC, it should be ok to have both a 9800GX2 and a ATI 4890 in the same system?
Granting, enough voltage can be supplied, it shouldn't create driver conflicts within the environment then?
This is great...
i've always wanted to get things much cleaner in my Antec 900. Now that i've just bought a 9800gx2.. that beast takes up so much space. With three HDD's, 1 Optical Drive, and the PSU mounted on the bottom (Corsair HX520), my case looks MESSSSSSSSSSSSSSY.
Anyone here in Toronto wanna help a...
heck, i'd hope not. I just purchased a 9800gx2 yesterday with high hopes to step it up to the gt280 early next month.....
There is ONE thing that has been a little snag in my happytimes so far.
Yesterday i tried to register the card using the UPC and S/N provided on the website. It gave me...
step up baby, step up. BFG gives u the 100 day step up program. I couldn't wait, plain and simple, i'm not going to even try to make an excuse of it. I just couldn't wait.
Hello, so as the topic states,
Will the Corsair HX520 (Modular) PSU, be enough for this simple system:
e8400
gigabyte ds3r mobo
couple sata hdd's
bfg 9800gx2.
Currently, this system has a 8800gts running. It is fine and i know that the Corsair HX520 is more than capable of running...
Hello, i have just bought 2x2gb sticks of Muskin Ram (link: http://canadacomputers.com/ind...16525&cid=RAM.346.307).
I want to add another 4gb to my system, but i'm not sure if i have to buy the exact same ram as the ones mentioned above.
The store i have purchased them from is out of stock...
Hi there,
I have my cable modem in a room upstairs; next to it is my Linksys W5RTG Wireless Router. This router is plugged directly into the cable modem. I've got a couple computers connected to it (using wireless connections, and such). My question is, is it possible to introduce another...
Hi there, i've got a new setup with my shiny new Bravia. I want to output my PC on it, but unfortunately it doesn't have any DVI inputs. I do have a DVI-HDMI cable, so i've tried using that, but it won't display anything when it loads windows.
Pls help me, i'm not sure why it isn't loading...
thank you my friend for the quick response. I really appreciate the information. It is somewhat of a daunting task to delete everything i've amassed.. it's going to take a while to back everything up.
Although i will probably do what you suggest to be on the safe side. On multiple computers...
thanks for the quick reply. Is HijackThis a free prog? I hope to solve this crisis soon.. what implications are there to face if my DNS has indeed been molested? Is it not safe to use my computer for anything personal?
I run multiple computers over a linksys wireless router. I've been having a problem lately (since yesterday actually) trying to browse the internet. I've got FF and IE installed on my machines (windows xp). Everytime i try to type in a URL it automatically gives me a "page not found" message...
i have an 8800gts on my DS3.
This board can't have two PCI-E cards in it at once can it? I want to put my older x1950pro card into it as well and display to two monitors. It obviously wouldnt' be SLI mode, but i dont' even know if there are two PCI-E lanes that i can plug the second card into...
i ended up getting the Antec 900... only to find out that the ATX 4 pin (12V?) cable isn't long enough on the Gigabyte DS3. I guess i'll just have to get an extension cable for that.
It's a nice case otherwise (i haven't even powered up the system yet though).
the westy 42" 1080p doesn't come with a built in tuner, just for your information. But not that watching regular SDTV signal over an HDTV is something you'd really want to do too much,.
on one of my computers i run wow on my 42" LCD at 1920x1080 (almost the same rez pretty much).
It runs it eassssssssssy at 60fps full details and 40+ in crowded cities and like IF.

hmmm i'm wondering the same thing. I have the Antec 900 and my OCZ Evostream 600 just doesn't have the reach on the ATX 4pin cable. I was thinking of going with the Corsair PSU but i hope the cable would reach. Are there such extension cables for such a purpose?
http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.ph...wProduct&cmd=pd&pid=013789&cid=RAM.835
Patriot RAM (my first choice)
http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.ph...wProduct&cmd=pd&pid=011521&cid=RAM.835
OCZ RAM (i guess my second?)
Anyone have experiences with this kit of RAM? i was thinking of...
I'm looking for a case about under 150 CDN i think 125 USD maybe? I don't really have much choices here where i live, but if someone can please take a look at a couple of these cases and let me know if they will fit a 8800gts on a Gigabyte DS3 with an arctic freezer pro 7.
I don't need it to...
lopri thanks for clearing things up. I guess i'll have to order online for some nice Buffalo Firestix or something. i'm not sure which other sticks are made with Micron D9. Up in Canada good RAM is hard to find in a store... so online is really my only option.
I did end up purchasing a e4300...
hey, if i wanted to get rid of my ddr667 and replace it with ddr 800 ram, would this be any good for OCing?
http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do...wProduct&cmd=pd&pid=013889&cid=RAM.835
that's the one i'm looking to MAYBE get if it's any good for OCing, and it won't break my bank...
Hello all
Today, i plan on purchasing a e4300 (finally going Dual Core). Right now, i have 2x1GB of Kingston Value RAM (ddr2 667). I know it's not the best ram out there for OCing, but atm it's what i have to work with.
I also have an asus x1950pro 256mb card (i plan on getting a geforce...
i've got a couple questions myself....
does OCing a 4300 on a DS3 mean that i NEEEEEEEED to get pc800 ram? Cuz right now i've just got Kingston Value ram 2x1gb at ddr667. do i need to go and get better ram in hopes of getting a 3.0ghz stable OC?
also, do u know if the DS3 will support...
hey guys, you're probably right that it's related to my PSU. On friday i will be picking up a 600W OCZ psu, so i will let you know how that affects it. Nirach, feel free to PM me your results as well, i can use all the help and advice i can get. Thanks again everyone for giving me some advice...
thank you guys for the advice, i am buying a 600w OCZ psu on friday, so i will replace that and hope for the best.. if it doesn't fix things, i'm going to have to assume my video card is defective.
I knew this 400w generic psu was no good :(
SORRY FOR THE REPOST, i've put this up in the technical support forum as well, but since it's a video related issue, i'd like to please ask for help here as well. Please don't be mad; if you dont' feel like it belongs here, feel free to skip over the post :)...

ok, i think i get it.
I have one 80gb SATA drive, and 1 DVDR IDE drive. I guess i could always add in the other IDE drive to the same ribbon as the DVD drive. Thank you!
i too have this motherboard, and i too have a 250gb IDE drive lying around that i would like to use. How exactly do i plug that into my system? i'm not sure what type of adapter that i would use to convert an IDE drive to an SATA port (is that even possible?)
i was looking at this here, i'm...
k, thank you very much for the info guys. I think then i will stay with this PSU till i get that new video card (may as well upgrade it then). Sorry but i have one more question though... since now i'm just running with DDR2-667 RAM, if i were to upgrade it today with gaming performance in mind...
it's just some generic 400w psu, i don't see a brand on it anywhere. It just came with this generic case that i got from a computer store here in the area... sorry :(
Right now, i have this setup:
AM2 3600+ CPU @ 1.9Ghz, 65nm 65W
