indeed. and those prices are teh BEST ive found.. others are just scary inflated. Graphics wise ill probably run most things at 1280x960, somewhat of a sweet spot for my crt montor. Can do that at 100Hz. which would be nice with AA and ansio cranked up high.

Looks pretty good. As far as PC noise goes, you want to keep 2 things to a minimum. FAN NOISE and HDD noise. Fan noise can be reduced to a minimum by choosing a well ventilated case with 120mm low speed fans. Avoid motherboards with dinky 40 or 50mm fans on the northbridge. BIg heatpipes are...

No point trying to convince me of a new cooler Mr Proof. I Already have a TT big typhoon that was mounted on my old S2 3800+. Twas a wonderful cooler, even with the fan running at stuff-all RPM. Unfortunately at the time i thought i had to get a new one as i lost the necessary backplate to...

ahh cool. Well ill see how the PSU goes. it will suffice for the start when im just doing stuff and not OC'ing.

Ive had the typhoon before on my 939 mobo and loved it. just dont have th bits to fit it on the 775 mobo. PSU wise my 550Watter is rated at: 3v - 20A 5v - 25A 12v(1) - 12A 12v(2) - 12A 12v(3) - 6A note these are continual amps, not peak

install latest chipset drivers, sound drivers, video drivers. make sure the game isnt having a hissy fit on dual core by limiting it with the taskmanager to running on 1 core only. also failing that maybe try resetting the bios back to defaults or running the game at 1024x768 with minimal...

The aim of this upgrade is to max bang per buck, so im reusing old components like the 550W psu, opticals, HDD's etc All prices are in Australian Dollars. Just like american ones... but more sucky. CPU: E6600 - $302 CPU Cooler: TT big Typhoon - $75 Mobo: Gigabyte P35-DS4 (nice passive...

its a powercolor dood. I dont trust that brand with a barge pole. I had a Powercolour R9700 and it was a pile of droppings. Just recently i tried a handmedown card...also a powercolour. Again - nothing but trouble.

ah heck all of a bottleneck. back in the days of geforce 3 & 4 & r9xxx series 2x and 4x agp was a significant bottle neck. agp 8x wasnt. the move to pci-e with more bandwidth and higher speed made things much better, the processing power of graphics cards since then has improved alot, but the...

Im looking for a new motherboard. It MUST fit the following requirements. 1. Socket 775/Core Duo (im getting an E6600) 2. Be FSB1333 capable for Overclocking/Upgrades. 3. Have TWO P-ATA connectors so i can hook up 4 IDE drives. 4. Be able to fit a Thermaltake big Typhoon. So far ive seen: Asus...

Simple question. Does the TT big typhoon cpu cooler FIT WITHOUT MODS on the Gigabyte GA-N650SLI-DS4? I ask as the northbridge cooler looks mighty large and oddly orientated. Evena google search turns up very little. I really would like one of these boards as im looking for a relatively...

Yeah. i likda worked that out playing around with fast switching. Im now thinking some third party program mite do the trick.

Question about locking Windows XP accounts. What i want to be able to do is lock down windows with the press of a couple of keys. (ctrl+alt+del, windows+L, whatever) BUT Also be able to freely switch between my two accounts, Master and Slave when the system isnt locked down. (I have fast user...

With some sorrow im retiring from toms folding. 155000 points with only 1 dualcore cpu aint bad. Gonna try some climate prediction now. I may be back later.
