your LCD still has a 'refresh rate' in a sense

its at 60Hz, some can do 75Hz

if the games fps exceeds this and you have vsync off you will get tearing

and HL2 has good framerates, so you'll be experiencing this a lot

I always wondered why the "tearing" would happen. I got that alot in Jedi ...

1500 is for Cable and will make your DSL flakey.
1492 is the best optimization for DSL

Where did you hear that? The tweaks I've seen have said to set it to 1500 for cable or DSL. I'm on DSL and have mine set to 1500. Just wondering if it would make any difference...

I think the reason why my HDD has failed after using it for only 1 year is that I ran defragment waaaay too often. I asked around in another forum and people there said defragment would damage your HDD if you over do it. I used to run defragment everytime after I ran Bittorrent, so I guess that ...

I want to be able to play my PS2 through my PC so I can use my monitor and 5.1 surround. I have a Powercolor 9600 Pro with a VGA input and S-Video.

I'm having a problem with C&C Generals. The file Textures.big got corrupted somehow on CD #2 and it won't extract. If anyone is willing to send me this file I'll make them an account on my FTP so they can upload it to me. Thanks.

People are saying Prescotts don't OC well because of the "ridiculous" amount of heat they put off. Just get a good aftermarker HSF and you'll be fine. 2.8E's are hitting 3.5 fairly easy on air.

Good audio recording program

Does anyone know of a good audio recording program? I'm not sure what you call it, but I'm looking for something that I can record multiple tracks with. Like lay down some lead guitar, then lay down some rhythm and mix the tracks. Thanks.
