Well I just recently bought a pair of G.Skill pc4000 ddr500 ram 2x1gig. Popped them in, and my mobo will only recognize them as ddr400. Which is fine with me, since the amount I paid for them is about the same I would have paid for a regular pc3200. Thing is, I bought these sticks to help...

Ok, I'm about to order some new ram for my system. I'm still running a pair of old school pc 2700s at 1 gig (2x512). I was looking around and saw that there were pc 3500, pc 4000, pc 5000 and above. I have an Asus A8n5x mobo, dunno if that makes a difference. I was thinking of going 2 gigs...

I managed to overclock my AMD 3700 to 2.4 gigs. I had it up to 2.6 but it kept freezing after 30 minutes or so of gameplay. The temps reached up to only 45c at that speed. The voltage was at 1.44. I'm guessing it's my memory, since it's just a pair of crucial micron pc 2700's 2x512. Well, I...

I just saw United 93 at the theaters today. In case you don't know what United 93 is, it is a film about United 93 during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I have to say, it was a great film. But I do question the director's (Paul Greengrass, he's actually one of my favorite movie directors)...

Well, after experiencing the weird grinding like noise from my graphics card when OC'd, I decided to get a better fan/heatsink for my card. The noise almost sounds like a harddrive working at full load. So I'm guessing it's the fan that's causing the problem. Right now I'm running at stock...

Well I finally gave in and decided to overclock for the first time in my life. I got my replacement graphics card and it works great. I was able to overclock it. Stock core clock was at 350, I OC'd it to 478 Stock mem clock was at 1000, I OC'd it to 1250. So far so good. No artifacting in...

Ok just got my graphics card in today, hooked everything up and plugged everything in and turned on my machine. Everything is running smoothly, except my monitor is not responding. The fan on the card is running, and everything is connected. The card does come with 2 DVI ports and no analog, but...

I know I've been talking about for the past century and a half, but I finally ordered my parts to beef up my system to a 64bit processor. I'm pretty much getting an entirely new system, except for my memory... I'm still going to be using the same old Crucial Micron PC2700 1gig (2x512), which I...

I was talking to my friend the other night, and we were talking geek stuffs. We eventually got into HD televisions/monitors and the sort. He told me that he heard from someone that DVI is pretty good too, that it's a whole lot better than the standard analog. So at home, I thought about it for...

I pre-ordered my copy ever since Ebgames/Gamestop started taking pre-orders. I'm looking forward to this game. I pre-ordered a copy for the PC, but I'm worried my system wont be able to handle it. The money I saved up to totally revamp my PC was spent towards buying a new used car. Anyone know...

I got a phone call from my credit card agency stating that someone tried to purchase a big screen TV in Romania with my account. It was declined, but my account had to be shut down for security reasons. This is actually kinda freakin me out, cause I have no friggin idea how that person got hold...

I'm looking into getting 2 external harddrives for video editing, but realized the prices for external drives are a bit pricey. I heard you can actually buy an external casing of some sort to kind of convert the internal drive into an external. Is that possible? Is it really cost-effective?

In case you guys don't know, me and my friends started up a very very small production company. We were on pre-production of a documentary earlier this summer and all we have to do is wait for our sound equipment to get in (which will be months). We just recieved our first 'prosumer' camera, a...

I recently upgraded my graphics card from a 9800pro to a 6600GT. My current 500w Antec TruePower psu isn't giving this badboy enough juice. I can run normal apps fine, but when it comes to gaming... it's like trying to find a catholic priest in Mardi Gras. Any suggestions on what type of psu...

Well I made my final decision. Instead of the uber rig I mentioned earlier, I'm getting an iBook from Apple. I talked to my proffessor, he told me that his iBook outperforms any pc system when it comes to stable video editing. Plus I get a generous student discount on the iBook and software(s)...

Well, I'm in the process of getting a new system and here's what I got so far. (All from Newegg.com) ATX Alluminum Mid Tower Case by Cooler Master $49.99 Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 nforce 4 etc. $164 Aspire ATX 600W PSU $93 GeIL Value 2GB (2x1gb)...

Well as we all know, next gen gaming is on it's way. After working at my new job as an Auto body shop assistant manager, I am now financially stable enough to actually buy what you normal people call 'stuff'. Well I pre-ordered my xbox 360 and have the premium package paid off already along...

I'm currently thinking of purchasing a laptop specifically designed for video editing. Or a system that can handle film quality full feature length movies type of editing, in a reasonable price though. I don't want to go all out hollywood and spend 70,000+ and a simple editing deck. I was...

Yeah, I was looking around my windows folder in my c drive, and realized my system32 folder is missing. I haven't touched it eversince I reformatted my harddrive. Is it possible to retrive it somehow? I'm guessin, probably not. But any help is appreciated. **Ok, I tried the tools show...

As you know, E3 is this week. What are you looking forward to? I personally am looking forward to more information on the Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo Revolution. I'm also looking forward to more information on games like Katamari Damacy 2, STALKER Shadows of Chernobyl, Legend of Zelda, and...
