    Vista and DirectX 10...are we screwed?

    I think most games will be backwards compatible, as most games nowadays can run on Windows 98 / 2000 / Me / NT and XP anyway. Windows Vista isn't 64 bit only right? If so most game developer companies will be forced to make 64bit patches for their current products, some companies already...

    tmobile treo 650 with verizon?

    What do you mean exactly when saying "I realized that I don't have a simcard in my Verizon phone" doesn't it need a simcard in order to work? Is it some kind of special phone supplied only by Verizon that doesn't require a simcard? If that's the case, then you problably won't be able to...

    Splinter Cell Installation Porblems

    Does it ask for the next cd only, or can you specify a location where to find the needed files? Otherwise you could try copying the cd contents to your hd and continue installation that way. Is your computer self built? It's harder to find updates for specific components when you've got a...

    Prey...hmmm

    Downloading now, since all of you are so positive about the game it must be really good. :edit: I've played the single and multiplayer mode available in the demo. This game hasn't caught my eye before, It looks promising! I was expecting Pray to feel as if like playing Doom 3 or Quake 4...

    who said unix was for geeks

    Lol, very funny! She looks kinda geeky to me still, just because she's got breasts she shouldn't be one? The other girl next to her must be her next door neighbour's daughter or something who said; "Come with me to the beach for once, you can't have your nose in those computer books all the...

    what's a "decompression bomb"??

    A Decompression Bomb is a compressed-format file that expands to fill your disk when opened. For example, using GZIP to repeatedly compress a specific byte stream in three stages can result in a file of only 5928 bytes that when expanded is 100 gigabytes! Other file formats that use...

    Battlefield 2 patch

    There are incremental patches and full patches available for Battlefield 2. The incremental patch is about 83Mb where the full patch is about 438Mb. The incremental patch requires BF2 already patched to version 1.22. If you haven't got patch 1.22 installed beforehand, download that first...

    My computer thinks I have a floppy drive...

    Try disableing the device in device manager, see if that works. Are you using Deamon Tools or a similar program?

    Which LCD monitor for gaming?

    AFAIK Samsung Syncmaster displays are the best LCD monitors for gaming on the market, with an amazing responsetime of 2ms that will probably be your best bet. Even though ZDnet gives it a mediocre score, what gives if it lacks a cable feed system? Or has limited adjustement options? Most...

    Enigma_My Favourite Band!

    Enigma only makes me think of those softcore series we had on tv friday night when I was younger ;D I never took the time to get to known them more though. I might actually have heard more songs of them and actually liked it where I wouldn't actually be able to tell it was Enigma after all...

    Best Songwriting bands?

    Blink 182 has some songs who's lyrics still echo through my head from time to time. Their latest self titled album didn't have those songs as much as their previous ones did though. Other bands / artists I experienced that with also are; Green Day, Raccoon (Dutch band) Bryan Adams (MTV...

    PC Inadequacy

    *Raises hand* I did the same thing when building my computer a while ago, I made a big mistake by not properly researching all factors needed when building a new pc. Just around the time I built my A8V Deluxe with AMD Athlon 64 4000+ and a 6800GT AGP, PCI-E came out altogether with SLI...

    Urgent Question - Direction L7AK4 17" LCD monitor

    It's got horrible response time, shouldn't that be 3ms? Otherwise, you'd end up experiencing ghosting at such high response times. Furthermore there are a lot better monitors new available for a little more than that price. The auction's already ended, I hope you didn't buy it?

    Asus A8V Deluxe AMD 64 4000+ (1st time OC'ing)

    I've taken the Kingston sticks out, changed the timings to 2.5-3-3-8 and disabled the 2T command, I've yet to experience any crashes. Since I was doing all sorts of tweaks I also used PCI Latency Tool 3 to change the default latency of my graphics adapter to a much lower value (from 248 to...

    Asus A8V Deluxe AMD 64 4000+ (1st time OC'ing)

    I've already busted another A8V Deluxe board before this one, I guess I'll stick with PC3200 which I'm sure will work. Thanks for that advice. Can you tell me if I can expect performance increase when running the Corsair RAM with 2-3-3-6 timings over the Kingston I have now with 3-3-3-8? I've...

    Asus A8V Deluxe AMD 64 4000+ (1st time OC'ing)

    This thread indicates certain types of PC4000 memory work with the A8V Deluxe motherboard, as it says KingMax PC4000 in the "Compatible Memory" list. But provided they might work, I won't be able to take advantage of it's full potential since the A8V Deluxe provides support for max DDR400 /...

    Asus A8V Deluxe AMD 64 4000+ (1st time OC'ing)

    It's starting to look like my memory isn't good enough for overclocking purposes. I'll see what happens when I take out the twinMOS modules and go witht the lower latency RAM from kingston. Otherwise, I'm looking into buying 2 x512 Corsair XMS Pro PC3200 modules with 2-3-3-6 timings, will...

    Asus A8V Deluxe AMD 64 4000+ (1st time OC'ing)

    Maybe I got a little overexicted in my "My computer" specs saying my cpu is running 2.8GHz, that's what I was aiming for. There are so many options in my bios, I'm sure I can get it stable if I knew what I was doing. I only altered some settings in the options that appear when "AI...

    Asus A8V Deluxe AMD 64 4000+ (1st time OC'ing)

    I thought I was doing ok with my oc, but it seems my computer won't handle it very well. After a while of playing some games give me severe distortion, like Battlefield 2 for instance. I've lowered frequencies to what I thought were good before with auto oc on 10% (@ 2.6GHz) and even then...
