Low SN Margin possible reason for unstable DSL connection?

I've been using AT&T's DSL service for the past half year and since I've had it, I've experienced a fair bit of disconnects but lately my connection has been incredibly unstable going out multiple times within short timespans. I've tried running the modem through my router and directly to my...

In the market for a new router - Linksys WRT54GS or GL?

The Xbox 360 gets used for a lot of gaming as does my PC, but the 360 using wireless G and my PC is wired. At the moment, all my devices are G so a N router probably wouldn't do me good. Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll probably be ordering the GL sometime today. I've got a 20 off...

In the market for a new router - Linksys WRT54GS or GL?

I plan on buying a new router to replace my aging netgear. From what I've read, the Linksys WRT54GL is a fantastic router with a lot of options for firmware customization. What I really need is just something that's going to stay reliable for me and not choke when there's a lot of stuff...

TV Tuner Card color problems

I've tried just about every driver version I can find for the card and I tried both the coaxial and composite inputs on the card.

TV Tuner Card color problems

My friend gave me a Hauppauge 878 TV Tuner card which I installed and worked fine last night. Tonight, I attempted to use it and now the picture looks like this: http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5810/tvcolorep6.jpg I haven't changed anything between last night when I installed the card...

How can I improve my FPS in CS Source

Out of curiosity, what kind of fps do you get on the stress test? I usually get around 120-130 running at 1650x1080 with everything on high and AAx0. Not sure how good/bad that is, but looking at some benchmarks, that seems about right for what I'm running.

How can I improve my FPS in CS Source

Yep. Did everything you said. Executed the autoexec when I started the game and nothing seemed different to me. Mind you, I used casey's config once too and it didn't give me much difference either which is why I still think this is a CPU issue and not video card. I'm about ready to give...

I didn't see much difference with those configs. I'm gonna try remounting my heatsink just in case it is a overheating problem later. (I can't actually tell because I always get bogus temperature readings from this board)

How can I improve my FPS in CS Source

I do notice about a 10-15 FPS difference when I have my onboard sound enabled. So I'm thinking getting a sound card would probably help. I knew onboard took up some CPU cycles, but I didn't think that much.

How can I improve my FPS in CS Source

Reinstalling did nothing. I tried a clean install of Windows a few times and nothing really changed. I tried all of LOU's steps, but again, not much difference. If I run at lower resolution, I get some more frames, but there's still drops at certain points (lots of gun fire, nades, etc.) It...

How can I improve my FPS in CS Source

hl2.exe uses 50 percent CPU. Can't get it to go any higher even changing priority or affinity settings I'm guessing that's because it's dual core and it's only using one core though.
