You mean your video card went bad while you were playing a bad game. A piece of code cannot destroy an otherwise perfectly good piece of hardware. Your video ram is bad. You need to RMA.
I have been using Ubuntu for about seven months now. I switched from Slackware because I wanted the power of apt-get, and a disro that offered fairly up to date software. Ubuntu has been just that and is perfect for my day to day computing needs. I use Abiword for word processing, Firefox for...
Stop supporting Microsoft, and this is not an issue. Linux is an alternative. Unless you need to play "today's hottest games". Of course, you can just use Linux for everything that this will affect and dual boot Windows for your gaming needs.
I love seeing Microsoft hassle the end-user. It...
Shimmishim, they never talked about it when AMD's chips ran hotter. They grasp at every straw possible to verbally rim-job their favorite CPU manufacturer.
Thats a winmodem chipset. It has already been explained in this thread, and everyone who has actually looked into them or has been stuck using one and then switched to a real modem agrees ... that they suck.
This is a real modem chipset that can be found on USR modems. It happens to be the...
Still, you asked for the best. USR is the best, and not JUST because of Linux support and lower overhead.
They are better in every way that a dialup modem can be better than another one. That ebay one is only slightly more than a winmodem, and every winmodem is as bad as any other.
I didn't intend to say you were silly or anything, and while modern chips and chipsets do have such wonderful performance that this isn't as much of a problem as it used to be, the modem should still be doing this work.
Winmodems are basically nothing more than a phone with a PCI connector...
Regs, that modem is a winmodem. Not only will it use his CPU for any work that should be done by a REAL modem, but it will give a him slower and less reliable connection.
The ONLY modems anyone should consider are the 3COM based hardware modems made by US Robotics, who has always and will...
Another fine display of rampant AMD fanboyism. I should really stay out of this part of Anandtech. Talking about Intel should be bannable in here to make things easier.
The OP would have been quite happy with what he said he wanted.
Um, Xvid is primarily a pirate's format. I think this guy is looking to do legit video editing. AMD loses handily in MPEG2 encoding, which is what ACTUAL video junkies use.
