    Just went from AL MX5021's to Logitech Z-2300's: *shocked* by the difference!

    I have an 80/20 music/games listening profile and had been using Altec Lansing MX5021's for the past few years. Admittedly, the AL's were an absolute pleasure to listen to ... save for a mild hiss audible in quiet surroundings that was a minor bother at best. So, after reading raves about the...

    X1900XT -> 3850 upgrade, is it worth it?

    Denithor, those are some excellent deals indeed. Thanks for the pointers! Here we have an 8800GT and an HD3870 separated by just $4 ... but isn't the 8800GT one complete step above the 3870 in the performance food chain? If I don't have the performance pegged wrong, how can this pricing be? ...

    Avalon, that's reassuring ... I'm assuming you are talking about a 3850, yes?

    X1900XT -> 3850 upgrade, is it worth it?

    Thanks for the excellent pointers guys! Indeed, it looks like the 3850 is a winner. I should mention that I'm a bit of a noise freak (as-in *quiet* components only). My current X1900XT is rigged with an aftermarket Arctic Cooling cooler for cool, silent operation. While the 3870 for a few...

    X1900XT -> 3850 upgrade, is it worth it?

    Even though I have a 1900x1200 screen, I do most of my gaming at 1680x1050 with medium eyecandy on my X1900XT. I use XP Pro, so no DX10 gaming. Will a move up to 3850 improve my fps and/or allow me to move up to 1900x1200? In general, do you guys think its worth the upgrade? Much thanks for...

    New X1900XT + Dell 2405FPW --- trouble switching resolutions, pls help

    Folks; I'm at wit's end trying to figure this one out. I just went from an X850XT to a 1900XT, both on Cat 6.3's ... for some reason the 1900 refuses to switch to non-standard (i.e. anything other than 6x4, 8x6, 10x7, 12x10, 16x12 & 19x12) resolution ... on desktop, or during gaming. If I...

    Anyone using the ATI Silencer 5 for their X850/800XL?

    Phew, can you verify Arctic Cooling's claim about the cooling solution w/ your XL? Are you not hearing any clicking, or have you had to resort to a 100% setting (which somewhat negates the silent-at-idle objective). cheers.

    Anyone using the ATI Silencer 5 for their X850/800XL?

    For those who've already got theirs, how is the noise on this cooler? Do you hear 'clicking' ... which I've read is due to the cooler's ceramic bearing reacting poorly to the card's PWM fanspeed-control signal.

    Anyone using the ATI Silencer 5 for their X850/800XL?

    Now that the Ati Silencer 5 is finally available stateside, has anyone picked it up? I've heard that the fan, while quieter than stock, makes an annoying 'clicking' sound (especially at low rpm's) rendering this cooler an ineffective low noise option. Can anyone using this Silencer please...

    Where to buy ATI Silencer 5? **Found it**

    I'm waiting for it to show up here as well. Please post here as soon as somebody finds them stateside.

    Is Crucial Ballistix PC3200 (DDR400) available in matched pairs?

    All places I've checked carry single sticks, but nowhere is a matched pair available. Anyone know someplace w/ matched pairs available? Does Crucial even sell Ballistix matched pairs? cheers.

    DFI Ultra-D + TCCD mem: does it work now?

    People are still reporting several problems w/ tccd and the DFI Ultra-D. Check this thread and also this thread. The problem is definitely not limited those lacking enough vdimm. The current speculation appears to be that the problem is cpu sensitive. Potentially only the tccd/winnie combo...

    Raptor vs Maxtor 16MB...

    Another interesting comparison would be noise. Those who have or have had both the Maxtor DM 10 and the Raptor II, is the Raptor noisier by a large margin? Both in terms of idle whine and seek 'crunch'? The only thing hodling me back from going w/ a Raptor as my system drive is concern over the...

    DFI Ultra-D + TCCD mem: does it work now?

    Tripp17, Which bios rev are you using? Also, did u change any other settings in the bios beside vdimm to get yoru oc? The egg no longer has the OCZ Plat rev 2 so I'm thinking of getting the Corsair TwinX 3200XL PT (also tccd) in its place ... and w/ all the talk about tccd's not working, I'm...

    DFI Ultra-D + TCCD mem: does it work now?

    TJmoney, Besides the Max Async Latency setting, is there anything else one might need to set to get expected behaviour out of tccd's? For example, any specific bios rev? Any other settings? The HUGE thread over at xtremesystems.org is too complicated for me to understand. I'm about to buy...

    DFI Ultra-D + TCCD mem: does it work now?

    Will Corsair twinx 3200 XLPT do cas 2.5 @ ddr 500?

    I thought so too ... all I've read about the XL's seems to say they should be able to hold CL2.5 all the way to 250/500 and beyond. Incidentally, does Ballistix come in matched pairs? I can only seem to find singles at Newegg. Also, whats the difference b/w Ballistix and Ballistix tracer...

    Will Corsair twinx 3200 XLPT do cas 2.5 @ ddr 500?

    I'm getting the DFI LanParty Ultra-D. Besides the Ballistix, wouldn't OCZ EL 3200 Plat rev2 also be a contender?

    Will Corsair twinx 3200 XLPT do cas 2.5 @ ddr 500?

    I'm looking to oc my upcoming 3500 winnie to 2.6+ and was wondering about the best memory to get ... ideally, I'd like to have the option of staying at cas2 upto around 440-450, and then no more than cas2.5 all the way to 500. Will the Corsair TwinX 1024-3200XLPT cut it? Any other...

    Great rig mate! I see you've gone with the Eudemon as your fan controller ... I've been considering it for my next rig as well, though I haven't seen one in operation in real life. So, I'll just hit you with my questions: :-) - How many fans can it support? - I'm looking for something...

    Windows Update: Root Certificate Update had SUNK my IE. Help!

    W2k, IE6. After I applied the Root Certificates update using Windows Update, IE can no longer establish a secure connection without throwing up a warning about untrusted root authority. It looks like windows update had the net effect of completely wiping all my certificates. Anybody have any...

    Is there a trick to using a DVI->VGA connector?

    I am not sure how to set up the bios for AGP, although I suspect that might not be the problem. If I use the VGA out port (the card has VGA, DVI and TV out ports) directly, there is no problem and the monitor sees a signal on boot. However, if I attempt to plug the monitor (I am using only one)...

    Is there a trick to using a DVI->VGA connector?

    I am trying to drive my primary CRT monitor off the DVI port of my OEM 8500 LE (PowerColor) using a DVI-to-VGA adapter but can't get it to work. On system boot, the monitor never sees a signal from the port/connector. Anything I might be overlooking? cheers.

    Low profile graphics card

    UPDATE: Success! I've removed the bracket and installed the card 'naked'. It appears we are in business! It is a thing of beauty to sit and watch the nature and advanced pixel shader tests happen in 3dm2k1se. Life is good at the moment. cheers. Haphazard.

    Low profile graphics card

    Folks, I just received the Powercolor. The PCB is indeed low profile, but the mounting bracket is standard profile (i.e. too large for an LP slot). I'll try to jimmy it in if at all possible. Otherwise, RMA time. Bummer! Haphazard. PS: I don't quite get the sense in making an LP PCB but...

    Low profile graphics card
