    [SOLVED] Newish PC Build, Chrome 'Freezing'

    Hey, thanks for posting this. I was trying to track down this issue since I put this build together in December 2018. I went as far as to install a second PCI-E NIC that didn't lock up the PC, thinking it was simply a faulty NIC. I would still get a few random loading issues including Twitch...

    New gaming / work build $1000 budget

    Ok, well here's what I would go with. It's just tad over your budget, because of the i7 Processor, but I can't recommend a Core series, as that socket is pretty well done, LGA 1366 is the way to go. This will game very well, and that processor is killer for video editing. COOLER MASTER...

    9800GX2 power

    That PSU is way overkill for that card alone. I have a thermaltake toughpower 650, and it powers 2 9800 gtx in SLi with no prob, and they consume way wore that 1 GX2. You've even got 100 watts more, and probably more amperage. Try another solution :) If your STILL worried, try buying a voltage...

    Question about ram speed vs link

    I have a Core 2 E8400 clocked at 3.6GHz, with 2 gigs of Kingston HyperX 1066 Ram. That puts my fsb at 1600 (400 x 4), so my ram to fsb ratio is 3:2 (533:400). Should i leave it there, or set it to synced and bump my ram down to 800, which would run it 1:1. (Btw when i run it at 1066, i set...

    I have 2 9800gtx's in SLi, and I'm using a Tri-Sli connector to connect them. Should i switch over to using just an Sli connector? Does it make a difference?

    Question about vista and lan

    Yeah, I have Comodo Firewall Pro and Eset NOD32. I'm currently just on this one computer, and I didn't know if i should spend the money to get a router, and if it was really worth the extra protection. If anyone has any opinions I'd be glad to hear them.

    Question about vista and lan

    Well, i decided to try out vista, so i partitioned off thirty gigs of my hard drive and gave it a go. The weird thing is, now vista has found all of theses other computers, and "xbox 360 extensions", and I'm not on a LAN. I'm using cable internet connected directly into my modem, into the wall...

    Quick question

    I currently have have a 320Gb 7200 rpm hard drive. I want more storage and better performance, so I'm thinking about buying an identical one, and putting them in RAID 0. That's one option. Or, I could get a 300gb VelociRaptor, clone the data currently on the 320gb(not at full yet) to the...
