    How many gameplay hours to expect in oblivion?

    Personally, I've put in over 200 already. I've completed three guilds fully and about a quarter of the main quest. I'm always finding new things to do, too. Admittedly, I have somewhere around four characters that I've really spent time on, along with a few others I abandoned after a few...

    Oblivion PC performance

    Has anyone watched their CPU load while playing Oblivion? I've got an FX-55 and I'm consistently seeing 100% load, and I'm wondering if that's bringing down performance. Especially because areas don't start lagging until I'm being attacked, when the AI kicks in (I assume). It doesn't seem...

    Good Pc, bad frame rates in Doom 3

    Heat buildup? I just installed an extra fan for my X800 XT and it improved quite a bit. My system is similar and I find that running at 1280x1024 with 4x AA in High mode is perfectly fine.

    Asus A8V-E Deluxe

    I just bought one and I know how you feel. No review to-date. While I am far from knowlegeable enough to give an in-depth exploration, I can at least note a few interesting things. My stock FX heatsink would not fit without loosening the screws on the mounting bracket. Not a big deal...

    How Safe are Dynamic Disks?

    Because if I don't then I have awkward spaces that my organizational style just doesn't know how to cope with ;) Creating a sequential list of partitions that use the entire 128 GB suits me best; not finagling them to fit on two 74GB drives.

    How Safe are Dynamic Disks?

    As long as we are on this topic and lithium's question has been answered, I would also like some information. I have dual Raptors; not a tremendous amount of space. Not only that, but it is a pain not being able to utilize both disks effectively. Raid 0 would be nice but I'm not willing to...

    What do my jumpers do?

    You make things too easy. And for people who want to know; Description of Spread Spectrum Clocking: and And one question that I could not find information for on WD's site; Is there a difference between the Raptors with the jumper information and the ones without? I know they both...

    What do my jumpers do?

    I have a 74GB Raptor, and the sticker on the top details two positions for the jumper on the back; 1: Jumped pins 1 and 2 disables SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking) - this is currently jumped. 2: Jumped pins 3 and 4 enables PM2 (Power-Up in Standby) What does SSC do and in what cases would...

    LAN games needed - we're bored

    Soldat is a small, free (unless you feel like registering), fast paced 2d shooter. Pitch from website; Alt-Tab doesn't work so hot but one of the function keys instantly minimizes the program.

    trying to get an old game to run

    I have never been able to get that game to run on XP, and I've tried it on several computers. At least you didn't spend too much.

    CD drives are NOT plug 'n' play

    This is why it surprised me a bit. I had been testing out some fans, plugging and unplugging them in with the power supply still on (no power to harddrives or CD drive) with no problems. Somehow you have to plug it in and get it to spark between the connectors (try slowly).

    Nightmare - Bent pins on Opteron 250!

    Depending on how bent they are, a credit card can also work well.

    Lakitu's Cardboard Box Case

    Hobo computer! It would have been cooler if you had cut slots for all of the ports (monitor, serial, PS/2) but it is still an interesting box.
