    Low SN Margin possible reason for unstable DSL connection?

    I've been using AT&T's DSL service for the past half year and since I've had it, I've experienced a fair bit of disconnects but lately my connection has been incredibly unstable going out multiple times within short timespans. I've tried running the modem through my router and directly to my...

    In the market for a new router - Linksys WRT54GS or GL?

    The Xbox 360 gets used for a lot of gaming as does my PC, but the 360 using wireless G and my PC is wired. At the moment, all my devices are G so a N router probably wouldn't do me good. Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll probably be ordering the GL sometime today. I've got a 20 off...

    In the market for a new router - Linksys WRT54GS or GL?

    I plan on buying a new router to replace my aging netgear. From what I've read, the Linksys WRT54GL is a fantastic router with a lot of options for firmware customization. What I really need is just something that's going to stay reliable for me and not choke when there's a lot of stuff...

    TV Tuner Card color problems

    I've tried just about every driver version I can find for the card and I tried both the coaxial and composite inputs on the card.

    TV Tuner Card color problems

    My friend gave me a Hauppauge 878 TV Tuner card which I installed and worked fine last night. Tonight, I attempted to use it and now the picture looks like this: http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5810/tvcolorep6.jpg I haven't changed anything between last night when I installed the card...

    How can I improve my FPS in CS Source

    Out of curiosity, what kind of fps do you get on the stress test? I usually get around 120-130 running at 1650x1080 with everything on high and AAx0. Not sure how good/bad that is, but looking at some benchmarks, that seems about right for what I'm running.

    How can I improve my FPS in CS Source

    Yep. Did everything you said. Executed the autoexec when I started the game and nothing seemed different to me. Mind you, I used casey's config once too and it didn't give me much difference either which is why I still think this is a CPU issue and not video card. I'm about ready to give...

    How can I improve my FPS in CS Source

    I didn't see much difference with those configs. I'm gonna try remounting my heatsink just in case it is a overheating problem later. (I can't actually tell because I always get bogus temperature readings from this board)

    How can I improve my FPS in CS Source

    I do notice about a 10-15 FPS difference when I have my onboard sound enabled. So I'm thinking getting a sound card would probably help. I knew onboard took up some CPU cycles, but I didn't think that much.

    How can I improve my FPS in CS Source

    Reinstalling did nothing. I tried a clean install of Windows a few times and nothing really changed. I tried all of LOU's steps, but again, not much difference. If I run at lower resolution, I get some more frames, but there's still drops at certain points (lots of gun fire, nades, etc.) It...

    How can I improve my FPS in CS Source

    hl2.exe uses 50 percent CPU. Can't get it to go any higher even changing priority or affinity settings I'm guessing that's because it's dual core and it's only using one core though.

    Sorry to bump this, but has anyone gotten their rebate yet?

I ended up calling them to ask about it and the guy I was talking to said I...

    RAM problem

    Well, I ended up trying to install both pairs and then using the reset cmos jumper before I turned it on and it worked. I'm gonna restart a few times and make sure it boots up before I call it a success. Changing the voltage didn't do anything. The BIOS default was 1.9 although the RAM is...

    Power Supply for Geforce 8600 GT

    Weird CPU Temp readings for Athlon 64 X2

Then I tried another one and now I'm getting readings of 40-45 degrees with the temp going up to around 53 at full load. The temperatures probably...

    Best card for my budget

    Best card for my budget

    I don't do much gaming, mainly I just play Counterstrike Source. I'm not concerned with playing at the highest settings just as long as I can get a reasonable frame rate at all times. Right now I'm going towards a Geforce 7600 GT since they can be had for 90 after rebate, but the 8500 GT...

    Weird CPU Temp readings for Athlon 64 X2

    I already have the newest BIOS for the board. Will the BIOS for the Tforce-6100 work with the Geforce-6100? I know they're similar boards but I figured I'd ask before I do anything. I should also point out that when I was using the BIOS that came default for the board I was actually getting...

    Weird CPU Temp readings for Athlon 64 X2

    I just got an Athlon 64 X2 AM2 Brisbane CPU and when I was checking the CPU temperature in the BIOS, I got a reading of around 73-79 degrees celcius. This doesn't make any sense since these CPUs are supposed to fry at 70 degrees from my understanding. I then tried various programs like sisoft...

    AM2 Motherboard suggestions

    My brother wants a new computer and says he has a 700 dollar budget. Of what he told me, this is just for the computer itself and not for monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers/etc. He said he'd like to be able to play games on it (didn't specify which), watch movies, and basic stuff like web...
