Hate to sound like the hopeless Apple denier that I am but ... that thing's the usual half-baked, shiny, overpriced product everybody loves / hates from Apple. Tbh. when I first saw it and read about it I was drooling too, thinking that'd been the laptop I'd bought would it have been around a year a...

Anything we haven't got on our boxes yet?

Quite a fun mod.

Why bother? The official demo's been announced for 25th of september.

They had their receptionist cutting old capacitors off and soldering new ones on at the front desk. Crazy crap. Mine got sent in and I got a new replacement card which had a different pcb, diff. color, with more connectors (my original one lacked either DVI or TV-out, new one had all three), additi...

Lost a TI4200 [...] this way. I had a Gainward 4200 that started doing that (and locking up). After several thousands of us complained they extended the warranty and replaced a bank of capacitors that were failing while denying that there was any problem. Heh, guess who had produced my failing TI42...

I've seen these effects before. The tearing 3D-ish lines are usualy related to GPU errors, the texture mishmash can be caused by various parts on the gfx card (VRAM, resistors, transistors aso.). As it's summer now I'd bet on overheating. Try playing with an open case, maybe put a vent in front of i...

Well, then I'd definitelly go with a laptop. Battery runtime on the gaming beasts will always suck compared to business ones. Downclocking both cpu and gpu helps and some may offer an additional bat, still it'll never be truly comparable. So if gaming is what you want to do with it, you might as wel...

Are you gonna carry that rig accross the country every week? Say if you travel a to b regularly, you could just go with 2 screens (adding costs of course, but I guess you own at least 1 screen already) and transport the rig only. If you travel even more, I would only concider a laptop. By what means...

Alienware is about to release an upgraded model of the 9700 next month, so I'd sure wait a little: http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/26/alienware-m9750-now-with-dual-512mb-nvidia-gpus/ Asus has one ready that might be interesting in terms of it's upgrade ability: http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asu...

Good thing about that Linksys one is that I haven't seen many complaints about it. And those I saw seemed all to get solved through some flavor of firmware. But then, we're both of the tweak, hack'n code kind, so I guess our views were slightly influenced.

The Linksys WRT54GL can do all that gaming router does ... and some more if you want it to. And it costs a lot less. Basically what you need is packet prioritizing, something that different open source firmwares for this Linux powered box allow (just unlike the gaming router, you can adjust the prio...

"I don't want to say what this would be amazing for but it rhymes with PORNOGRAPHY!" :lol: :P Just wondering: How many games actualy support such crazy resolutions? From my experience, ingame settings usualy max out somewhere around 1600x1200. Besides, that's way out of the 16:9 ratio wha...

Too much praise my friend.

I'm just where you are Rickey. Same socket mobo and currently running A64 single core. Gonna update to whatever best dual opty is out by the time I can afford upgrading.

Opteron and FX can both run win32 resp. x86 software. Both the 185 and FX60 have 2MB L2 cache. They both need/need not have ECC ram, depending on the platform you buy em for. They both cost a premium over the consumer lines 64 and X2's as the FX aims at the OC geeks and the Opty at the server nerds....
