Prebuilt machine advice

Once again, thanks for the advice. I have passed it on to him, and he has decided to listen to the advice on the power supply and has purchased a 600W Fortron Power Supply from newegg.

Prebuilt machine advice

...and I gotta say, coming from 14 years of a programming background, Oblivion is extremely poorly coded. After beating the game, I saw nearly no code optimization. I mean, the computer I listed up there, by any means should be able to run Oblivion at 1600x1200 with all of the eye candy on...

Prebuilt machine advice

Hi, my computer illiterate friend wanted suggestions for a prebuilt gaming machine that he wants now. He wants it from Best Buy because he gets an employee discount. His budget is $1600. Now mind you, I told him to wait for Conroe, R600, and the other upcoming technologies; but alas he...

X800XT Mac Edition

Hello everybody! I am wondering if the X800XT mac edition would work on a pc. I believe that it requires and AGP 8X pro slot. If you are wondering why I am wondering whether it would work in a pc, it is because my friend does not want to upgrade to pci-e but wants a card that has dual-link...

Well the X800 and other less then SM3 level cards get unfairly scored as shown in this semi credible article: http://theinquirer.net/?article=29188.

3dmark06 question

Aright, well let's not get into a discrete mathematics based logic argument here over "inclusive or" and "eclusive or". I still feel like general hardware location was good for it because I wanted to know if my 3dmark scoreing methods were good and if my score matched up to all of my...

3dmark06 question

Haha, very good point! Only problem is that I have no idea how to move posts, and my question was answered thoroughly, and I have no idea how to delete threads.

3dmark06 question

I don't have an "oh so great intelect"; otherwise I would not have posted. Beyond that, 3dmark06 also stresses the CPU in the CPU test, therefore it is a general hardware question. Thanks for the responses!

3dmark06 question

When people post thier 3dmark scores, is there a specific level of settings they run it at? In 3dmark06 my default resolution is 1280x1024 and I get 4099 3dmarks. Is that a decent score? My SM 2.0 score is 1774, HDR/SM3 is 1854 and CPU is 1061. Thank you.

2T 1T memory question

Well I figured I have two sticks of 512 laying around so I would use em. I have them running in 2T. The two 512ers are 1 sided but the gig sticks are not. Regardless, I am happy at 2T with 3 gigs of ram. It helps in Maya and the once every 2 years I open up Photoshop.

2T 1T memory question

Hi, I have an A64 4000+ San Diego @ 2700MHz with 2 gigs of ram. The computer has 2x1 gig pc3200 sticks of ram with a cas latency of 3 running at 450mhz. I have the computer set to run them at 1T because I read it greatly speeds up your computer over 2T. My question is, can I add another...
