    2gb to 4gb?

    Its definetly a very silly thread but Ive heard of worse mistakes then too much cheap ram really and at some point 4gb will become usefull even if it isnt now. I was burning a dvd at 16x and Nero had the cheek to show the buffer nearly being depleted sometimes, ok my system needs a good...

    Nice Temps on X2 3800 @ 2.62 - Scythe Ninja

    Ive had an idle temp like that but I'd left the window open in the middle of winter and there was a frost that night. I took advantage and got a 50% overclock - after putting my coat on :D I dont think your cpu idle can be below room or the case temp unless you use something more then air...

    What is happening to me

    Thats the proper 70's colour imo and it looks great. It is a bit scruffy (upclose) though which means a reasonable price may be had prehaps. How reliable are those engines? Check this 240z out :cool: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-10ikJ1NMyw&search=240z...

    Can you cancel insurance?

    Pretty incredible, I wish I'd known the age of the car was more important then the person driving it. Come to think of it I've never owned a car 15 years old or more but I would have had I known it was so much cheaper. Doesnt matter now of course because Iam practically a classic myself :p

    sb live card still works when powers off

    To do what, its not doing any work. You could connect the wires directly and it would sound the same and thats all its doing The line is powered by your video source and the sb card will convey the signal to the powered speakers without any extra power needed. I doubt you could stop that...

    A battlefield2 thread

    No need for a pagefile with that much memory but if you are superstitious 100meg would be enough. Seperate drives for windows, bf2 and pagefile is definetly faster. Defrag your drive? The demo doesnt use as much memory, I used to play it on 512meg even with no lag. The original full...

    good gfx card for cs source???

    Why would you play a game where the gun wont stay still when you fire it, where 1 bullet can end your game and have you staring at the screen for 5 minutes waiting for another go. Those silly silly people :p Operation wolf > CSS :cool:

    805 at 3.8GHz on Thermaltake Bigwater

    Its a real boost to video encoding Ive found, unbelievable performance even compared to a normal fast single core setup. What used to take a day can take less then an hour now. Probably the same for audio, virus checks, image handling and anything else like that. Did you know blutack is a...

    805 at 3.8GHz on Thermaltake Bigwater

    My 2nd attempt was no good, I thought it worked at first because I snapped the very thin tip of the pencil off nicely between the chip legs however I must have been a bit liberal with the graphite as it was really unstable afterwards. I even removed the pencil lead and it didnt stop the...

    805 at 3.8GHz on Thermaltake Bigwater

    To be fair the chart does look a lot better under normal stress, 2 copies of sp2004 looked smoother. Superpi only tests 1 core at a time, so its more a speed test then stress and I use winrar benchmark to test multi-thread speed. I will probably give it another go but I'll have to take the...

    Bank Charges - Beat the banks!

    The whole thing was originally about credit card charges, the OFT then extended it to bank and overdraft charges, so yes go for it. Its a retrospective judgement, upto 6 years

    XP-120 Hotter than stock cooler

    Worth considering with a 805d ? I have a zalman 7000b on there and it does screw down but Iam not sure if it'd still be tight

    XP-120 Hotter than stock cooler

    Ive been thinking of doing that myself but dont people just remove the IHS alltogether. I dont think I could or would because my heatsink wouldnt clamp down enough but do some people because IHS is only some cheap aluminium material that probably conveys heat quite badly

    805 at 3.8GHz on Thermaltake Bigwater

    I got throttling at 70c so I disabled it and it kept on rising so I thought better not let it carry on and cancelled the test. Is 80c still ok ? I noticed the north and south bridge heatsinks get hot enough to burn my finger when touched, so I put small fans on the north and an old 586...
