Well, I just ordered this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102864

Seemed to be a solid card, and I also won't have to upgrade my PSU which is a huge plus.

On a side...

The 128-bit memory bus doesn't hinder it? I still have a bad memory from when I 'upgraded' from an x800 to an 8600, thinking the 8600 would have more performance due to more memory.

The downstep...

Thank you for the advice, I think I will hold on until at least March. The main reason I was eager to get a core 216 is because they are sold out most other places and are hard to find.

Another...

Do you foresee a card in the 300 series beating the 260 at a $199 price point?

If not, think I will probably just cave and get the 260.

Any thoughts on this for a PSU?
...

Newegg should be getting their new batch of the GTX 260 core 216's in today, and was wondering if it's possible, or if I shouldn't risk it.

For the requirements, the following is stated:

525W...

Curious if win7 still has the limit of 2GB physical memory alloc per application, and if so, how to increase that limit?

Doing some googling I found that vista supported /largeaddressaware in the...

For some of the larger capacity drives, I've been hearing about them having some built in maintenance routines or something, to keep track of bad sectors and to correct errors.

And that this built...

Greetings, as of late, I've had a bit more $ to put into my box, and I've been considering upscaling to a RAID 0 array.

I've been looking around for a day or two at hard drives that would be ideal...

This was indeed the case.

My Antec NeoPower 550W just died last night, managed to pick up BFG 550W GX, for $57 + tax.

Does anyone else here have the same one? I've never owned a BFG PSU before, I've owned one of their...

I called Gigabyte, and it seems that even if you disable their CPU load throttling option "C.I.A.2", you must disable a few more options to fully turn it off.

I fixed the problem now, thank you.

Yeah, I saw an option like that, and I'm like 99% sure it is off, but I'll double check. Brb. :D

I have Gigabyte EP45-UD3R board and the Wolfdale C2D E8500, my BIOS seems to be correctly picking up the CPU speed at 3.16 GHz - but CPUz is only reporting the core speed as around 1999.7/.8 MHz, is...

That application won't install correctly.

Internal Error 2908.

I've been going through google for hours trying to remedy this problem, to no avail. I've been getting the dreaded '0x80070643' error, stating: "Messenger couldn't be installed because we had trouble...

I did end up sticking with the GSkill - I saw some people having trouble with the heat pipes in the one recommended.

Sticking with the C2D.

With this new CPU and ram, do you think I'll see a big improvement in games versus the Pentium D w/ DDR2 @ 667MHz?

This is my first build. I'm planning on using some parts from my customized Dell XPS400, those include:

Antec NeoPower 550W PSU
GeForce 8800GT 512MB Factory OC
160GB SATA HDD
1x DVD...

I seem to have found a sweet spot for my system considering my CPU is my bottleneck. As you probably know, AoC is a very resource demanding game; but for good reason! AoC is absolutely beautiful, if...

Wow, thank you all for the replies. I ended up going with this..
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127329

Should be arriving tomorrow. Age of Conan should be arriving...

Thank you, Joel. I'll review these options.

:rtfm:Before anything else: Just want to state that I know my CPU is a bottleneck, I plan on getting new mobo and C2D within a few months. :D

Not looking to spend more than $200. Was leaning...

Think I've found it:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg
(Un-used entries stored here?)

I've never managed to figure out how to remove them. If you're unsure what I'm speaking of, here is a picture.

So maybe 20-25MHz would be safe? And, do you know of anything better than ATITool 0.25 Beta 15 for overclocking an ATI card?

I'm new to overclocking, I'm using stock cooling and have been messing around a bit on my card. It seems that if I run the memory past 363/364MHz, I get a lockup. And if I run memory at 360 for over...

Had a question, I just ordered the ram I was talking about earlier. Would I be able to use the DDR2@533 along with the DDR2@667? So I'd have a pair of 1GB DDR2@667 and a pair of 512MB DDR2@533.

I...

Well, the first thing I've upgraded(or am upgrading) is that x300 SE-HM. I just ordered a x800 from newegg for around $120. Next thing I'm thinking is to upgrade the RAM; the ram I have in right now...

Okay folks, I have the BEFSX41v2 which has a VPN endpoint(server?) built in. Just recently I have been taking some networking classes, and this has sparked my interest to try to establish a secure...

Yeah, I'm thinking a full format and reinstall. But I was hoping it wouldn't come to that.

One think I want to make clear is: This is not the Sony DRM Rootkit, I've already did the test by naming...
