    For HL2, upgrade video card or processor?

    I'm ot sure that you need to upgrade at all. I'm running HL2 at 1680x1050 on a Dell 2005FPW with an ATI 9500pro, Athlon 2400 and a gig of ddr and everything maxed and it runs flawlessly.

    Do NOT buy from these people. Their resellerratings don't tell half the story. Rip-offs.

    Don't even think about buying from Go Go City. Thieves and liars! Your chances of actually getting what you think you ordered are slim and none. STAY AWAY!

    Monitor flicker under high volume?

    The distortion you see on your monitor is caused by electromagnetic field created by the speaker magnets. More power= stronger magnetic field. While using heavy guage wire is always good, the only way you will get rid of the distortion is to move the speakers further away from the monitor.

    Is Dell using a shady sales technique?

    This probably deserves an explanation but, suffice to say, I am NOT a happy (former) Dell customer. Here is a copy of the final e-mail I sent to them. (the last of about twenty) As for Award winning service..........BAH! Dear Cogs in the Wheel, > > So, you think I should contact your sales...

    Burning 16x cdr's at 32x

    I learned something new today. I just got my new Lite-On 32x burner and went in search of some 32x media to try it out. Stopped by my local Staples and found that they had only 24x cdr's available. While I was debating buying the 24x's one of the Staples guys comes up and asks me if he can help...

My download speeds are down about 60-65% too and I get frequent pauses in connectivity. What a bunch of crap!. If they are gonna cut my bandwidth by 65%, my bill oughtta be cut by the...

    UT+S3TC+DX8.1=?

    Is it possible to play UT using D3D with the S3TC textures that came on the other CD? Since I installed the Radeon 8500, I can't seem to play it in OpenGL. (Yes, I had Loki's OpenglDrv.dll and the unrealtournament.ini mod installed) I really want those compressed textures back! :(

    Radeon 8500 review with Smoothvision update!

    What the heck are the REAL driver version numbers. Anand calls them 7.13.06, HotHardware has them as 7.63.01, and 3DChipset has them as 4.13.7206!!!!!!!!!! I'm very confused.

My daughters PS took a dump last week and took out (so far) the mobo, the CPU, the video card, the HD, and get this........THE KEYBOARD! Never heard of that happenning before. I think I could give Murphy some lessons.:) Anyone...

    8.5X chip in an 8X mobo?????

    What happens if you put an Celeron 850 into a Shuttle AV18E which has a maximum 8X multiplier? Will it default to an 800 or will it not run at all? BIOS update isn't an option since the multiplier is set with jumpers. Anyone?

    A humble request for advice

    Tomorrow morning i plan to remove my PIII-800 and Abit VT6X4 mobo and replace it with an Abit KT7e and a 1.4 AYHJA. I have decided to just change the hardware out , reboot , and hope for the best. I figure the VIA 4 in 1's are probably same as the 4.32's that I have installed. Advice would be...

    Getting heatsink of for Blue Orb

    Removing those old heatsinks is a scary proposition at best. I have had pretty good luck without heating or cooling. I slide a piece of lightweight cardboard between the edge of the heatsink and the pcb to protect the pcb. Then insert a flat bladed screwdriver between the cardboard and the...

    Odd problem, booting, video etc

    FUBAR, The first thing I'd try would be to replace the power supply. If his case is old, his PS probably is too. You can pick up a Sparkle 300w for about $40. Even if it's not the PS, it's good to have a spare lying around. :) Good luck.

    monitor problem-- what do you think?

    gplracer, I have an ADI Microscan 6P that did something similar. Every once in a while it would black out for an instand and make a noise similar to degaussing.(Boing!) Over time it got worse and required repair. It was something called a fly-back transformer. Dunno if this is what you have, but...

    New version of Napster is available! Beta8

    andrey, Thanks for the info. I think the rename option is worth the download. I amazes me the complexity with which some people name their files. I like the KISS method. Name of artist- name of song. Think I'll install it and see what happens.

    New version of Napster is available! Beta8

    andrey, Have you installed it yet? I downloaded it but havn't installed yet. Wondering if it's worth the update? Kind of odd that they would release another version since the judges havn't ruled yet. Is this the Bertelsmann version?

    All I can say is WOW. This is not your average shooter. The perspective view takes a little getting used to, but once you start playing, if feels very natural. Amazing eye candy too. Gonna have to buy this one. :)

    How can one notice that the power supply isnt good enough??

    Power supplies have been the bane of my computer experience. What you look for is the inexplicable. Erratic behavior of all sorts. Random crashes, bsods, rebooting for no good reason, games that won't load. All kinds of stuff. Wish I had a dime for every hour I've spent trying to locate the...

    How do you remove a heat sink from a video card?

    Just pry the sucker off? Straight off or with a twisting motion? Crowbar or clawhammer? :) This may be common knowledge but I had no luck in search. Got some blue orbs coming (finally) and I gotta know. THX BTW the card is a Herc MX if that makes a difference.

    Thanks Elemental, I'll try what you suggest when I pick up a new PS today. Also I remember talk of a Trojan virus in the leaked 6.31 Detonator drivers. Any chance the rumor could be true? And could a virus do what I'm experiencing??? This REALLY sucks! :(
