I'm going to read between the lines and say that the guy lost the phone. If I didn't want to get in trouble for losing something I would say it was stolen.

If you're playing online against other people as your comment "One thing i noticed this happens is when i play with MANY people" suggests then your network connection can effect what you see. I wasn't saying that ping screws up your experience. I was just saying that your network connection...

Assuming you've turned on vertical sync... Check you internet statistics while you're playing. Look at lost and duplicate packets, ping, etc. It doesn't matter how high your FPS is if has to keep adjust your position in the game it's going to make things jump around. Check out...

I have the P182 with an Antec Earthwatts power supply. If I mount the power supply upside down then that puts the cable closers to the motherboard side of the case and I can run the wire up the back of the motherboard tray to connect the 4-pin 12 volt power cable. My other power supply has the...

I have a similar thing happen. My boot drive was the last of all of my hard drives, but it didn't end up after the dvd drive. You can reassign drive letters in XP. I think it is under Control Panel>Admin Tools>Computer Mgmt> Storage>Disk Management. I'm not an admin on this computer so I...

If you make it waterproof then it is air-flow-proof as well, and you are going to have some interesting issues with heat. You could do a really long heat pipe for all of the components. I know some question the number of writes a SSD can take, but if I remember correctly there is a much...

Something doesn't sound right, and no a video card will not fix your problem. Adding extra memory will not help unless you switch to a 64bit operating system and 64bit version of Photoshop. Try increasing your Virtual Memory, which is in the Control Panel, System Properties, Advanced Tab...

It won't take any load off of your CPU or RAM, unless you are going from onboard graphics to a graphics card. Most games are video card dependent, but some do benefit from a solid CPU and good amount of RAM. It depends on what games you play.

Based on the GPU charts the both score about 25 fps at that resolution (with 512mb versions of both cards)... Microsoft Flight Simulator X SP2 Fraps/Freeflight (1680x1050, 0xAA, Bilinear, Ultra Quality) Score in FPS 4670=24.90 7950gt=25.10...

The first line says the ram heatsinks are optional... "Optional extra for the VF1000-LED video card cooler" From what I have read regarding cooling of video card ram, and even regular ram, it that there isn't really much benefit in having head spreaders. Atleast that is the case when there is...

Thanks for the replies! The two setups I mentioned above work out to the same price. Unfortunately I have to go with a vendor that offers a warranty and support (eg. Dell or Lenovo). I know this isn't the most cost effective setup, but I am more interested in speed and I think that 700GB -...
