    The Math Behind Short Stroking HDDs

    My math tells me that I have seen this on another forum. Strange how the same posts pop up everywhere.

    Velociraptors unreliable or just bad luck?

    Maybe the 3rd time is a charm? Not sure how this is "Enterprise reliability". Though I am probably in the minority.

    Velociraptors unreliable or just bad luck?

    First one kept clicking, but would show up in the bios. Tried it in another machine to confirm death. This second one sounds fine, appears to spin up, but I cannot get past the initial boot screen, where it is trying to detect the first AHCI drive....the raptor. It just sits there. As soon as I...

    Velociraptors unreliable or just bad luck?

    So a few months ago, I say December, my 1 month old Velociprator died. I sent it in and got a replacement. Now, June 7th, my replacement has died. I know this is only two dying, but this seems odd. I have a PC Power and Cooling power supply, which seems to have stable voltages. I have an Asus...

    HP LP2275W LCD monitor

    OCZ GameXStream 700w + 260 GTX?

    I would also reconmend the PC Power and Cooling 750 Quad, mainly because it is 69 dollars after rebates, and great qualit as well.

    OCZ GameXStream 700w + 260 GTX?

    I have the OCZ GameXStream 700 Watt. It just killed a raptor and a Velociraptor and random reboots my PC... Just FYI incase your PC randomly becomes flakey. Maybe a fluke, but I would expect something like this to never happen.

    Using Extension Cables

    I have a PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750 Quad on order, and I have a Antec P182 with an Asus P5E inside. I am concerned that the 8 pin connector will be too short to reach the top. Are there any major adverse affects when using an extension cable for this sort of thing...

    4870 losing signal?

    Did anyone find a solution to this. With a w2207 and a 4870, I lose signal when going to the welcome screen in Vista, and sometimes when waking up from a screen saver or save power state. Here is what I wrote up: So for the past few months, when I return to my computer and move my mouse...

    HD 4870 @2560x1600

    II moved from a single 8800GT to a single 4870, and now crysis on very high is playable during single player. It is so beautiful. I play at WSXGA + btw.

    Intel Larrabee is capable of 2 TFLOPS

    What does a TFlop mean then. If the HD 4870 has more, why shouldn't it be quicker. Is it drivers? Code tweaking?

    How do you efficiently cool the warmer room?

    The room my computer is in happens to be warmer than the rest of the house. This isn't because of the computer, because this happens when it is off, it is just naturally warmer. I'm sure many of you experience the same thing. I use a box fan to circulate the air to get some of the air moving...

    Now that the GTX 260 is the same price as the 4870...

    The 4870 is still the superior card to the GT 260. You'd have to bring the GT 280 down to 300 bucks before I'd consider one of the new Nvidia cards.

    Crossfire Compatibility

    Just FYI, I got the Sapphire HD 4870 and absolutely love it. Crysis doesn't run better enough to where I can kill people online....it is amazing. My only complaint now is the drivers are kinda buggy. I have a two users machine, one non admin, and one admin. When I logout to switch users, my...

    Crossfire Compatibility

    I'm curious if crossfire is compatbile with almost all games, or does the game specifically have to support it. I am tore between a 4850 crossfire or a single 4870. This will be at 1680x1050. I like to use AA when I can. Also with my Asus P5E board, all I need is a Crossfire Bridge right...

    Minimal Card to Run Crysis on Very High

    I love crysis online, and I play it on "High" graphics and sometimes it just chops up way too much....that is why I was looking at a new card in the first place. The new expansion is supposed to fix the performance issues...so whatever I get today will run even better there.

    Minimal Card to Run Crysis on Very High

    Yeah that is what I have now, it definitely doesn't come close... I just wonder if the 4870 would, or would I need to jump higher. I'll probably end up selling my card now for like 100 bucks or so.

    Minimal Card to Run Crysis on Very High

    So, with these new cards out now, and some old ones (Like the GX2) what card could I get that would minimally run Crysis smoothly? My monitors Native Resolution is 1680x1050. Anandtech did benches at 1600x1200, with no AA. I like to use AA, but I run at a lower res, I can't really gauge...

    How does one utilize DDR2 1200 PC9600?

    I suppose I was being a bit ambitious, I can't seem to get it to run at DDR2 1134, but it will run at DDR2 1007, which I guess is the divider right below that. I am at 2.3V, I could bump up to 2.35, but I am really not too concerned if this isn't going to give me much of a performance boost...

    Vista32- vs. Vista64-bit OS Showdown *Done!*

    This is a great effort, but I think we need some consolidated results, it is confusing. The trend seems to be 32bit wins, but they seem to be close enough to not actually matter. But what about how games feel, are they smoother in x64 vs 32bit, or are they smoother in 32bit vs x64?

    vista over-working my hard drive?

    Indexing, automatic defrag, superfetch, all of those could contribute to the hard drive activity. I wouldn't worry about it, activity will not make your drive die any quicker, Google's study seems to think so at least. I defrag my drives all the time and they don't seem to die quickly... Source

    Tv Tuner for Direct TV
