Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

I think I found one minor issue with the new BIOS. I can no longer boot from my external USB optical drive (it was a IDE-USB2 enclosure with Samsung 22x IDE DVDRW inside). I used it to install Windows7 and did Memtest under old BIOS. Today I realize it will go through constant boot loop if I set...

The Phenom II X4 810 & X3 720: AMD Gets DDR3 But Doesn't Need It

THG review made my day :D ! they dare to bend the pins, trying to make AM2+ chip compatible with AM3 socket, thinking others (particularly technical staff in AMD) do not know how to break 2 pins. Then they published 3DMark score with a 20% difference in GPU score, and start making wishful...

Best native resolution for gaming on 8800GT?

I used to have 8800GTS/320M on 19" 1280x1024. I stepup (evga) to 8800GT/512M because I bought a 24" 1920x1200. Seems to be very good. I got a little higher FPS in "World in Conflicts" under this higher resolution and same quality settings.

it is really good to have a case like Antec Nine-Hundred for IP35-E with a big fan on top; so that you can blow hot air directly into that area without taking off the side panel :D

Soyo 24' vs Samsung 24'

Samsung model 245BW uses TN panel. But Samsung should have less QC problem as Soyo. Someone even said his Soyo caught in fire, which is kind of scary. I think the best way is to take a look. If you do not find visual difference, go with Samsung. Otherwise, go with Soyo, at your own risk :P

Buy 8800 GTS Superclocked now or wait for 8800GT?

cheaper for the manufacture takes less space for user I actually prefer 2-slot design to take hot air out directly. I have been using 2-slot 9800PRO(VGA-Sliencer), X850XT and now 8800GTS.

Things get more and more messy. This link says the new 8800GTS will also be based on G92, which means all the current 8800GTS will be phased out. Make sense though.

Buy 8800 GTS Superclocked now or wait for 8800GT?

it is rumored that both 8800GT HD2950 will be single slot, which implies they are not at the top of their clock freq. Unless they come up with 2-slot products, they will just be mid-range cards. One can surely do OC, but likely a new HSF is needed?
