    Question Thought the 3060 TI was "it" but then ...

    Now that the 4070 is out, it seems that one makes a ton more sense than the 3060ti I thought I wanted when I opened this thread. However, many good arugments were made here (and many, many more by the review stampede on YouTube) for the 6800XT and the 6950XT as no-brainer alternatives. Here is...

    Question Thought the 3060 TI was "it" but then ...

    Wow, thanks much for the quick replies! I've watched several comparison videos and did my own on a "dial a card" benchmark site and the reason I was going to stick with the 3060 ti despite the shortness of RAM was that it still seemed to beat the equivalent AMD card and even the one above it in...

    Question Thought the 3060 TI was "it" but then ...

    Hi All. I haven't been living up to my name since my last build was around 10 years ago. But hey, the glass half full way to look at that is "look how long my last build lasted!" I have here to thank for that! Anyway, I'm not a hard core gamer but still like my builds to be capable. I've...

    Have you ever had a motherboard die?

    There are only two components (Okay, 3 counting my SSD) that I've ever had break on me and those were motherboards and power supplies. It's gotten a lot better in the last few years though. I'll tell ya though, when they were breaking, they were breaking! It seems like I went through 6 to 8...

    Bought new card then got surprise from XFX - need advice

    Hi All. Well here I am doing my thing (see the name). My old XFX 4890 died so while waiting for all of the parts, I went ahead and got the video card I wanted for my next system. It's a Sapphire Radeon 7870. Works in the old one while waiting for the rest of the parts for the new system...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    While we're bumping up this great but old thread, I was wondering if 8 bit color depth is important anymore. Based on this thread, back in 2007 I purchased an NEC 20WMGX2 and could not be happier. I still have it and it still works great (except when I went from XP to WIN 7 I lost the...

    Memory NOT on MFG's QVL

    Thanks for the quick response. I can probably get by with less MB and CPU but I've done a lot of shopping and research and I'm close with some decisions made and don't mind a few extra bucks spent. I usually do a mild overclock on my systems . . . but it was my understanding that the...

    Memory NOT on MFG's QVL

    Hey All. I'm putting together a new system and I've narrowed it down to these two motherboards: Asus P8Z77-V LK or the ASRock Z77 Extreme 4. After reading a bunch of threads on builds with these two highly regarded boards I was planning on following the recommendations of the many...

    WD Velociraptor still worth the premium price?

    I can start a new thread but hijacking can be fun! But seriosly, I feel it's a related "enough" question so here goes: I'm getting ready to upgrade and I'm trying to decide what to do for a hard drive. I have a VelociRaptor that is now 3 years old. It's model WD3000HLFS. I can buy another...

    ASUS P8Z77-V Pro

    What about the non pro as in the Asus P8Z77-V without the pro? That seems to be around the same price as the Gigabyte D3H.

    just overclocked core i5

    Instead of starting a new thread, I'll try my question here since the MB and CPU are about the same. I have the P7P55D and a core I5. The HSF I bought ended up being too big and I had to return it. I'm still shopping for a good fan that will fit in my Lian Li PC60 plus case. Question: I...

    Upgrade to i5 or i7?

    Instead of starting a new thread I'll just post my question here. It seems appropriate enough. I'm looking at the I5 for 200 bucks and the I7 860 for 290 bucks. Is the I7-860 worth the extra $90? It's a little faster and has HT. The next jump up is nearly DOUBLE so the 860 seems to make...

    Boot disk - virus kill recipe needed for XP

    Sounds good . . . but could you give me a little more info? After booting into safe mode, I take it I'll have a CD prepared with these programs you mentioned above (and others). Will they run from the CD or will I have to install them from the CD to the hard drive THEN run them? I recall...

    Boot disk - virus kill recipe needed for XP

    Hi All. I was wondering if someone had a recipe for a boot disk with a virus scanner that could automatically update. I'm often called upon by friends and family to fix their machines. Lately, that's become "please kill this virus my kid got on MY machine." The thing is, while I'm much...

    Backup multiple computers - easiest way?

    Wow, guys . . . . thanks! Sounds like the way to go. I was planning on upgrading my daughter's Pentium 2.4 with 1 gig of ram with something better. Would hers make a good system for that? If so, I guess I would just need to slap another drive in it and I'll be good to go? Thanks...

    Backup multiple computers - easiest way?

    Thanks. That does look good but generates a few questions, if you don't mind: To use that do I have to set up a separate machine as a "server" first or could I just install the software (on some or all computers?) and direct the backup to a simple external or networked drive? Could you...

    Backup multiple computers - easiest way?

    Hi All. I did a search and found a good archived post that I wanted to resurrect but you can't reply to archived posts. I need to backup at least 3 systems. They're all on my home network. I once bought a Maxtor One Touch system but they failed to tell me that "One Touch" also meant...

    Can a 533fsb P4 CPU work on a 400fsb MSI board?

    I've got a 1.8 P4 400fsb. I also have an old "intel confidential" p4 northwood. I was able to get it as high as 2 gigs on 533 system but that was all. A better overclocker could probably do more with it. I don't know much more about it . . . I think it has a 15 multiplier. I'm not sure...

    Which Acer?? Your link doesn't work. Is it this one? Acer AL2051W ? Also, in your opinion, wouldn't the 4ms response time of the Samsung vs 8ms of the better ones you are recommending be better for as much gaming as I do? Or am I not understanding those specs - or are they being fudged -...

    I was about the click the buy link on a Newegg deal for $250 on the 216BW then I read your post. That link of yours for the Newegg Acer no longer works. So could you recommend a few models (by model number) that you consider superior? Is the Acer AL2051W one of them? I can't find that one...

    The article I read here says if the specs say 16.7 million colors that it is an 8 bit panel. Or can they claim 16.7 using their process (the one I can't remember the name of right now)? For basic computing and gaming does it pay to insist on the 8 bit panel? I can't usually tell the...

    Can a 533fsb P4 CPU work on a 400fsb MSI board?

    Yeah, a faster 400 mhz cpu is most likely equally as cheap as a new MB but I was just trying to make the best of what I had lying around. I found the receipt for that 1.8 P4 that I pulled out of there and was sick to see I paid $229 for it! What's it worth now, 15 bucks!! LOL. I hate to...

    Can a 533fsb P4 CPU work on a 400fsb MSI board?

    Hmmm. Well, it's been running a couple of hours now. The board automatically set the voltage to the 1.5v stamped on the CPU and all seems well. Maybe your voltage was off?The bios had a CPU setting anywhere from 100 clear up to 200 MHz in 1 MHz increments. So I set it to 133 and Windows is...

    Can a 533fsb P4 CPU work on a 400fsb MSI board?

    Yes, I'm aware of the quad pump and yes, I can dial in 133. If I do that, then I guess I'll have to worry about the memory speed . . . I would bet there's enough flexibility to ratio that back down. I'll have to play with it. It would be nice to get up from the existing 1.8 cpu to that 2.4...

It seems pretty flexible with it's o/c abilities . . . I can dial up the fsb clear to and above what that CPU needs...

    That stinks! I have an older 1394 card but I'm wondering if any of the newer ones have a connector on them so you can hook up the front ports on your case. Otherwise, the line of a "hokey" installation has been crossed!!
