Several years ago I remember thinking that the frequency measurement as a measure of a CPU would likely fade away as multi processors became more commonplace and frequency was not necessarily a true measure of a CPUs performance. Today, as I am making a new PC and refreshing on some of the...
Yeah, the Define Mini was my concern but taking out the bays will work.
Everything is now ordered as per the recommended setup! http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Ybni
I typically just buy from the mid-range system builders guide, but there are some specifics I was trying to get this time. l am replacing my aging PC (see specs below). I will use it as a "normal PC" for gaming and using my TV as a monitor through HDMI for gaming with controllers as well as...
Hi,
I have one of the first ASUS HD4850's made with the tiny fan that runs hot (and/or loud). I also hate constantly babysitting the fan speed.
Is there any way to trade it in or somethnig like that for a newer 4850 where they fixed the problems with this card like a larger fan and running...
I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice about my ASUS EAH 4850 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/...?Item=N82E16814121253). It has been working great so far despite all of the fan problems I've been hearing about but wonder if mine is on the way out from heat.

I just got a Q6600 ($189), mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) ($124) and a ASUS P5Q Pro ($149) from Newegg and it has worked and overclocked great. The mediocre AMD CPU reviews scared me away from them after being a lifelong AMD CPU buyer.
I have been debating wether to overclock my system and reading posts for hours. The only OC experience I have is using the default ASUS OC options in BIOS. I am just looking to get a little extra preformance for some games. My questions are:
Do the default OC options in ASUS BIOS work well?
If...
I have been trying to fingd a way to turn off mouse acceleration in Vista x64 SP1. Does anyont know of any registry patches, etc that will turn off or down mouse acceleration for all applicaions (especially games COD4, Oblivion). From the way I understand it the old CPL mousefix just scaled down...
How about a simple yea for progress that will hopefully improve and advance pc gaming ?I've got no hatred for new tecnology until proven otherwise. Just please don't make it a money making scheme without offering any benefits. Ok Microsoft?
I agree, it seems to me that a majority of gamers start out with a rather outdated PC and game get hooked on some game thats cheap and you can have fun with modding and taking to LAN with friends (for me it was CS 1.4). It was LANs that really made me want to get a quality gaming PC and got me...
I hear ya, I'm going through the exact same thing. You're making nearly the exact same setup as I am building. I am going to give Vista 64bit SP1. If games run bad I'll dual boot with XP, but I'm not anticipating going to dual boot.
Great post.
Although I wish this would be on the Anandtech main pages as it took me awhile to find, but I purchased a new rig from Newegg today!!
Theres another $1000 to Newegg for this thread.
(I'll take my $5 for the plug now please)
Yea, it should be $10 less for no box and CD
I'm really impatient and hate to wait a few hours to download a game after a reformat, etc. I have only bought HL2 and CSS on Steam which seem nice though.
Also, maybe I didnt read some agreement thing but are all games you buy available to...
Definetly get the gold edition for the extra money. I got vanilla CoH a few months back and just bought the OF because after playing online alot it adds a whole new dimension to the game.
I want to upgrade for better gaming preformance, but am a poor college student. I was wondering what 1 or 2 things are bottlenecking me the most and should be upgraded for most improvment for the money. Thanks
