    NVidia Advanced Timings Question

    Hi guys, When I first got my GeForce 6800GT, I went into the Nvidia Advanced Timings panel and changed my refresh to 75 Hz, up from 60. Now, when I change my refresh back down to 60, and hit "apply" and then "ok", every time I reboot it still comes back up as 75 Hz. Anyone know of a way...

    Doom 3 Timedemo with 6800 GT

    When I am testing Doom 3 on my PC with 1280x1024 with High-Quality (8x AF by default), no AA, and no VSync, I go to the console and type: timedemo Demo1 Typically, the first time through, I get anywhere from 40-57 fps. I'm guessing this is because it cache's the demo as it runs it. After...

    I think my X800 Pro bit the dust :(

    You may try plugging in different molex connectors to your card. I had a problem with my WinFast A400 GT at first with the PC not getting video because of a bad molex on my (PC Power and Cooling (!)) power supply.

    Favorite programming text editor?

    JEdit is a pretty good one too. http://www.jedit.org It's cross platform, and works for a majority of languages, although it started primarily for Java. It has a pretty strong open-source following, and supports plug-ins too.

    What is HT in my bios settings?

    Yes, that is your effective "FSB" for the Athlon 64s. The HTT (FSB) gets used in the CPU clock speed, and the HyperTransport Bus's operating speed.

    What is HT in my bios settings?

    HT is the hyper transport bus multiplier on the nForce 3 motherboards for the Athlon 64 / FX processors. Typically, the nForce 3 motherboards support a hypertransport bus of 800-1000. The HT you see in your bios is the multiplier (4x). The value the HT multiplies is your CPU Clock (aka...

    MSI K8N Neo Platinum CPU Temp.

    1.2 Bios here and still reports idles in the low to mid 50's here. ClawHammer (C0) 3200+ here, and the problem just doesn't seem to be localized just to NewCastle CPU's either from the posts on the MSI forum.

    To RAID or not to RAID???

    Well, Anandtech seems to say no to using two Raptors in RAID-0. Article: Western Digital's Raptors in RAID-0: Are two drives better than one? And from personal experience... recovering from a RAID-0 failure sucks, bad.

    where do I buy teflon for my mouse?

    I haven't personally, but I've done some research and found that quite a few have. I was actually going to get some, but my dad works in a manufacturing plant where they use PTFE on some rollers that fabric passes through, and he is bringing me some home today. I'm not sure what brand it is...

    Gainward 6800GT

    I've been looking at getting a Gainward 6800 GT. They make two versions of the GT: (1) the standard with 2 ns ram, and (2) their "Golden Sample" which has 1.6 ns ram and comes factory overclocked. I was also interested in seeing how quiet it was with its custom cooling solution versus...

    Is a gaming mousepad worth the $$$?

    I just recently bought a fUnc 1030 mouse pad... I'll never go back to anything else. EDIT: I use the rougher side of the fUnc too. Another nice tip... 3M makes some nice PTFE Adhesive tape, stick some on your mouse feet and with a nice mouse pad, it'll pretty much just glide like a hover...
