I plugged it into a different SATA port, and now my bios detects it. I think it says its a Master. I havn't formated it, don't know how-- But now that its been detected with the port it works... or so i thought. It will read discs, but it is really jittery/laggy... :mad:. And when i...

My old IDE drive gave out a week ago so i bought the ASS Newegg.com - ASUS Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 14X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe - CD / DVD Burners . i hooked the thing up to my power...

I have the "Creative Labs - Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Sound Card", with my 5.1 speakers hooked up to it. My speakers have a little thing to plug my headphones in. But i notice that the quality is a lot better when i just plug my headphones directly into the sound card. (and when i'm...

... could i get a full response from somebody who isn't a little keyboard warrior?

I'm going to college this upcoming year, and i'm wondering whether or not my tv tuner will work with the cable service on campus (asus P7131), with xp media center edition. The card is supposedly analogue only :doh:, but is the signal running to the dorms already converted to analogue, or is...

it amazes me that nobody has come out with a product to combine 2 pci-e connectors... i imagine it would have a rather large customer base.... WINK WINKKKKK any cable-making companies , i just gave you a free idea.

I'm running 1400*900 for all these games. Is there anything that i can do short of buying a new psu.... (which i just did with this one)

I'm using just one right now. It works fine, but i don't think i'm getting optimal performance (i get like 30-40 fps on bf2142 right now, and around 20-40 on call of duty 2). I have it hooked up to the 18 amp rail. And the card requires a minimum of like ~26 amps on the 12v rail. lol...

Hey i just bought the X-finity 500 watt. It has two 12 volt rails, one at 18 amps and the other at 16 amps. Each PCI-E connector is on its own rail, and marked with a sticker. I am wondering if there is any sort of cord splitter that would let me connect both of these PCI-E connectors into...

oh, and by the way i did use the thing that came with the card to connect two molex cables into the PCI-E thing, but when i did that i recieved a much lower 3DMark score for my card. so i need to be able to use both of my PCI-E connectors.

i have a AMD 4200 X2. and again statistics show that between cards like mine, and the c2d, there is not that big of a difference in fps in games (only around 1-3 fps depending on game). However on games like supreme commander, ya then the power of the c2d will kick in and deliver the high...

in reply to dracos- CPU speeds matter less and less with games nowdays. If you look at statistics... again lol... you can see that the FPS are maybe 1-5 fps higher on those high end chips. And same with ram, you may see small increases in game performance (depending on game). but not a...

Warmonger: My case costs around 100$. Also, i played BF2142 singleplayer, and still got FPS like i would get online, maybe a LITTLE higher, but probably only because the game only allows 15 bots for single player. So it HAS the be the power supply. Yesturday i ordered the...

Well i've been running spybot and AVG for the life of my system so i doubt that a virus would cause this. And benchmarks show that the 640mb card only gains advantage on MASSIVE resolutions, i'm only running 1400 by 900. In fact benchmarks show my overclocked card to run a couple fps faster...

anyone?... lol please help

i'd worry about mobo compatibility, i have a a8n sli deluxe, i had to cut a fan covering off my north/south bridge fan.... lol i thought it woulddn't fit. but i got it. i have a gts version which is shorter, but i have around 2-3 inches of space still. I doubt i could do sli the card is so...

My buddy with a 8500 card can't even play supreme commander at medium!!!, he only gets like 15 fps at medium... but he says its fine... hahaha. he wasted all his money on a quad core. DONT BUY 8500/8600!!! they may have DX10 support, but you won't be able to set the gfx up all the way to notice...

I just purchased a 8800 gts 320 mb KO version from EVGA. I installed it and updated it with the drivers from EVGA's site. Now here's my problem, in some games it will run fine, others will have glitches or low fps. For instance... In oblivion- with graphics set all the way up, whenever...
