Possible to swap MB without OS re-install ?

I've read now that using the sysprep tool with -oobe and -generalize settings before shutting down and making the swap should make this mobo swap possible.

Possible to swap MB without OS re-install ?

Hi all, One of my systems mb bios has gone corrupt and does not post anymore, a gigabyte p35c-ds3r. I'm going to replace it with a ep45-ud3p. The system has vista 64 on it. Is there a way to do this swap without an OS reinstall ? I have a huge amount of data on the system drive and a...

PC won't boot/post after extended shutdown ?

Hi all, On one of my systems that has a gigabyte p35c-ds3r mobo, past few days after being shutdown, when I boot the pc it does not boot or post, no beeps nothing, just spinning fans. If I pull a stick of RAM, the system will then boot and I get a message along the lines of 'reading bios...

nVidia profit down 74% in Q3

Again, he makes reference to highest performing GPU as if it provides an edge when it comes down to a user with their computer. When it comes down to actual usage of said GPU, it has to be used on a video card. So the argument was moot. When there is a sandwich card from NV with two gpus on...

nVidia profit down 74% in Q3

No, because you don't put a GPU in your video card slot, you put a video card, with a gpu(s) on the card, in it. And nvidia does not have the highest performing video card in the world. And the whole comparison of the physical aesthetics of a 4850 vs a 9800gtx is laughable. Who cares, it's...

LG W3000H-BN 30" Monitor, anyone have one ?

I'm thinking about this monitor. S-IPS 30", looks nice, wondering if anyone has any experience with it. $400 cheaper than the dell 30" model. I currently have one of the older PVA 24" LG monitors and love it, a lot better than the Dell 24". Wondering if this is also on par...

Far Cry 2 slow performance on a single 4870

Hello, I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this. I've been running Far Cry 2 on two machines, both at 1920x1200. One is using a 4870x2 with a quad core at 3.8ghz the other is on a 4870 512mb with a quad core at 3.6ghz. Both are using vista 64. Both systems are using completely...

Far Cry2 Cat 8.10 HotFix render errors

Try not to forget that this nrollo fellow is on record and proven as being a liar. This has been stated and confirmed by people responsible for the actual running of this site, not moderators. Remember to take his posts from this perspective, he's a liar. In other words, don't even bother...

Nvidia 270, 290 and GX2 roll out in November

It's just not worth it with this guy. Someone should let him know the NV focus group is all full and he can't stop hoping and posting tripe all the time to paint NV the bestest. GTX 260/280 released before 4870, 4870 released, was just as fast as 260, they priced it $200 less. What on...

Nvidia 270, 290 and GX2 roll out in November

While this won't matter to everyone, and probably not even a very large minority. Part of my preference towards ATI at this point is that if it were not for the 4X00 series of cards, we would still be forced into outrageous prices from nvidia. Were it not for ATI introducing their cards, at...

New GTX260 vs 4870 1GB

If you take the time to pres the 'next page' buttons you'll continue to see the 4870X2 beating GTX280SLI, not just in that benchmark. And both cards are being bottlenecked. Or if you take the time to look at other review sites comparing them you'll see the same. I stand by it, and it's...

Fallout 3 PC system requirements released

It would be nice if that were true, but the dominant firmware used to flash 360s is xbox live safe. You do have to open your console, then all that is done is you attach the hard drive to your motherboard in your pc, and run a program to flash the firmware. After that you just burn the games...

New GTX260 vs 4870 1GB

? I'm not even going to pursue this. I linked you to a review from the same site quoted in this thread showing 4870x2 to outperform gtx280 sli in every benchmark they performed apart from Crysis. You take this too seriously, you blew away my arguments because I didn't link directly to the...

New GTX260 vs 4870 1GB

I wasn't asking you to. Saying I countered my conclusion twice is a little silly, for posting a link to the conclusion before the benchmarks, and then in your opinion them saying cpu limitations were affecting one benchmark, that still showed the 4870x2 faster than 280 sli ? I don't need you...
