    looks like TRIM-enabled firmware for X25-M is out today

    I wonder what's keeping Intel from releasing TRIM on the G1. I'm feeling let down here.

    need help, at a loss.

    Try putting the graphics card in a different PCI-E slot. Somehow, my primary PCI-E slot has begun manufacturing these errors with my 8800GTX. When placing it in a different slot, it works perfectly, even though the temperatures are even higher (worse airflow).

    Is there a way to FORCE nvidia card to play nice with ATI

    Actually, an ASUS EN8800GTX. I've had it for more than 2½ years, and in my opinion, it has handled everything I've thrown at it beautifully. It has aged like a fine wine.

    Is there a way to FORCE nvidia card to play nice with ATI

    I really hope someone will figure this out. Even though I am getting an HD5870 tomorrow, I'm having a hard time parting from my 8800GTX. I love that card.

    EVGA 8800 GTX video artifacts; is my card dying?

    When I put another card in the primary PCI-E slot, I didn't start any games or put load on it since that card in particular has memory issues (baked X1300). I was simply checking to see if the black screens were a product of the 8800GTX or if it was something else. Also, the problem hasn't...

    EVGA 8800 GTX video artifacts; is my card dying?

    I have almost the same problem. The patterns I'm seeing are red, and it only happens sometimes. The other night, I couldn't play games at all since they appeared every time about a minute into the games I played. The patterns appear for a few moments, then my displays go into sleep and the...

    Holy crap, it worked! Dead video card, resurrected!

    An X1300 has been resurrected! 200 degrees C for 10 minutes. I was a bit scared about the capacitors as the plastic started bubbling after a while, but it came out fine.

    Any issues running multiple video cards + displays in Win7?

    My 8800GTX and X1300 on Win7 x64 7201 say otherwise. Triple monitor is not an issue.

    Advent 4211 not recognizing new WiFi mini-PCIe

    A few days ago I received my Advent 4211 (MSI Wind clone) and I wanted to install the Dell 1390 WiFi card that I had bought on eBay to make triple-booting compatibility as good as possible. The built-in Realtek RTL8187SE doesn't have proper drivers for Linux and OS X at the moment. Anyway, I...

    Getting stuck pixels "unstuck"?

    Apparently my retailer accepts up to 3 dead pixels before they can switch the monitor. Sucks for me since I only have 2 dead ones.
