Thanks for your reply.. i just have been looking at age of conan pictures dx9 vs dx10.. and believe it or not.. you can see a huge difference in quality.. such as landscape and distance viewing.. and lighting.

:hello: Ok, here it is. This is a mixed question.. First i'm buying a dx10 card for my e8400 rig right now.. I have a 7900gt ko. I am using windows xp.. but will SP3 have dx10 support in it? All of the old articles claim it to be.. but all of the new ones claim it not to be. Second, i'm...

Hmm.. the memory should OC me to 3.6ish though correct? That was what i was looking for.. i'll probably have this cpu for 2 years. I love pushing it to the max.. but 4ghz its a bit too much for me to use every day ;).. nonetheless i'll just build his computer and buy 4gb of the same memory just...

I updated from a san diego core.. 210 bucks for this 45nm processor isn't a bad deal.. i'll probably have this for nearly 2 years before i get the upgrade bug again. o.0 well all know how that is.

Since i've been doing autocad 2008 on a san diego core with 1gb of memory for the last year... going to the e8400 with 3.5gb(xp limit) has been night and day. I've already oc'ed it to 3.8 on air cooling with stock fan.. i put it back to stock settings.. due to my gfx card only being an x1950xt...

I've been out of the game for a few months.. and just took advantage of the DDR2 prices.. I'm into intel world now.. like many of us have gone.. e8400, 4gb OCZ reaper memory pc6400?, the cheap gigabyte board.. x1950xt.. or a 7900gt (sadly both do about the same).. I'm building a computer for...

Thats what the plan is.. now. Yes, seagates tools found 11 errors.. but it didn't help much. It did however reduce the freezing. So i'm pretty sure thats the thing to be looking at for the freezing issues. Its now like once every so often.. sometimes like 8 hours. My CPU under hardcore load...

Thanks for the reply, i'm not sure if adjusting the size actually moves where it is stored. I'm in the process of getting seatools.. hopefully it can deal with the read/write scan that i need.

My Seagate Barracuda Sata drive has been with me now for a few years.. probably close to 4.. and as of lately my computer keeps freezing. Yes the age old, nothing seems wrong with the computer, then blam it goes away thing.. I've done some check disks in the recovery screen, and it has found...

Nvm i got fed up with this pos emachines junk. It's time to meet the reformat monster. GRaWr!~! Wasted too much time.

I'm trying to fix a friends computer.. and i've seemed to run into a brick wall. Yes there were about 1000 variants of trojans, random viruses, and adware. Most of them are gone, but i'm having an interesting problem.. I can connect to Aim, but not the internet through IE or Mozilla.. i've...

Thanks again for the help. I had a good talk with him, and that is a good system. What i think is going to happen.. He's going to spend good money on a case 130ish ( found one he likes and is a great case).. that ocz gamextream is a good psu.. thats the one i use.. so he's gonna grab that one...

Thanks a ton for replying. :D I talked to him a little more and he's willing to spend a tad more.. he is definitely getting the 8800gts. I would like to get him an OCZ PSU or Antec (although i've had some bad experiences with them). Both have 130$ish 600ish W PSU's and are great companies.. I...

Yea.. someone asked me to build them a computer at work.. and the last few months i've been so uninterested in computer hardware *lack of anything neat coming out* that i haven't paid any attention to crap. I know that the core 2 duo's are supposed to be sweet and whatnot.. so i guess i'll build...

I still don't want modular, and i'd like to stray away from Antec. I have had some bad experiences with those power supplies(store bought and Newegg). Since it's not my computer I would get one, but what i'm saying is.. if the system is using up 80% of the powersupply at all times.. wont that...
