    LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert

    I see the four-pin floppy connector on the board, but not the other ones. That is a good question..

    LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert

    Where in the world did this motherboard come from? I attached a picture that shows the old school Ultra-D beside this Expert board, and the differences are quickly evident. First off, they removed the 6 large tabs in between the dual PCI-E ports.. which is odd. SLi may be the only option in...

    SLi - Yes or No on your new rig?

    Seriously, I still go for a game of Quake III now and then and take Star Craft out for kicks. Hah, I hear you there. I'd still kick up a multi-player of Q1.. classic. I agree with you on Sli.. but it's been tempting me more and more lately. I don't run any games above 1280*1024, but even some...

    iolo System Mechanic Pro 6

    I'm not that familiar with that function, especially since I don't have it installed right now. That would require a system service though.. have you gone in and disabled a bunch of services recently?

    My PC is messing with me..

    Yeah, I have to check a few things like that when I have the time. I'm wondering if it's my GPU to be honest.. If I get ambition later on, I may throw in the 6800GT and see if I have the same problems. That should be a clear sign of whether the 7800GT is farked or not.

    Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 Rev. 3

    Haha yeah. It goes to show that I don't pay attention to the background when I take these shots. You all are lucky I do these reviews with clothes on.

    My PC is messing with me..

    Alright, this is going to be a difficult problem to fix.. I can tell. Today I installed the new Need For Speed demo, which seems amazing. It would likely be better if it ran smoothly. The problem is, the game will run smooth, but every few seconds it will halt for like a half second, and...

    Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 Rev. 3

    I had someone e-mail me today actually, who builds computers for a living. He stated that 2 out of every 5 BFG 6800GT's he came across had the overheating issue. So it was definitely not just me either, hah.

    Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 Rev. 3

    The 6800GT I have here hasn't even been used yet, because it's the one I got back from RMA. I plan to test it out when I get the Intel up and running though. I honestly don't think this cooler would have helped that thing though. God, it was known to hit 100ºC *shrug*

    Indigo Prophecy Review

    Atari and Quantic Dream have dropped upon us a real time thriller; but this game is no dark style game where your flash light is your best friend. Instead it starts off simple and makes you do the thinking and reacting. Indigo Prophecy really makes you, the player have <b>all</b> the control...

    Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 Rev. 3

    Arctic Cooling has just updated their popular NV Silencer to support the 7800GT, and that's exactly how we are going to test it! The cooler still uses the proven design of blowing hot air out the back, and looks great while doing it. Is it better than stock though, and possibly water cooling...

    GPU (not) Frying Hot!!

    Speedfan is borked with a LOT of things, not just 3D Apps. Glad you figured it out though.

    Most Wanted demo out!!!

    No excuse! Use the keyboard! This game better not suck or I will freak out at EA. I love it, because it looks more like the older Hot Pursuit games, and I love those more than the Undergrounds.

    iolo System Mechanic Pro 6

    Thanks for your thoughts! I do agree, I love SysMech as well, and have also used it since version 4. I really wish that their registry cleaner was more in-depth though. As for Terminate, that's interesting. One would assume, that a file should not be able to be recovered after terminating it...

    Wicked cool game maps..

    Yeah, Paint has a hard limit on images. I downloaded all the Link to the Past maps.. it goes down as one of my favorite games ever. I feel like playing it now :|

    Dual core shoot-out: Intel versus AMD

    Hah, I hear you man. My first AMD was a K6 333MHz, but did it ever kick ass! It ran WinXP like a dream, even on 256MB of ram!

    Sony DRM root kit issue..

    Most of you probably have heard about this lately, but maybe have passed it off as just another random problem. If you don't know what this is all about, read about it >here<. To put it simply, select Sony music CD's have the ability to install rootkits onto your system, which are executables...
