    PCI capping? or am I missing something?

    After thinking about this for a while, figured out that the gigabit NIC is in bits not bytes so the 125mb/s speed you were talking about divide it by 8, (since theres 8 bits in a byte) that gives us 15.625 MegaBYTES per second. which is the usual speed you receive when doing a gigabit to gigabit...

    PCI capping? or am I missing something?

    I was pondering the other day about this and wondered about the PCI slots we all seem to have in modern-ish computer systems. Say your PCI slot is the standard speed, thats 133mb/s. (according to wiki haha) So how in the world does a gigabit NIC work properly in it? Or does it just show...

    Hey guys, I'm currently running at Core 2 Duo T7300 in my Laptop (Dell 1750) which uses a GM45 Chipset and a PGA478 socket. The T7300 is not officially supported by the chipset but runs anyway, however my chipset does say it supports a QX9300 (Quad core). Will my board support this...

    Good anti-virus program?

    Since I upgraded to windows 7, i've just banged a free copy of AVG on my system and its been fine. But they stuff your system with 'non-deadly' virus's (in the T&C's of AVG) so I wanna get rid of it tbh. Whats everyone using in the gaming world? Thanks.

    SSD issue?

    I have an Alienware M11X laptop and a Vertex 2 SSD, a few weeks ago my vertex 2 failed and i now have a new one (thanks to OC'ers RMA!) and i noticed that my M11X gets very hot inside, could heat possibly make my SSD fail again? or was it a random failure? Thanks.

    5870, your opinion?

    5870, your opinion?

    I currently have an ASUS EAH5870 bought from new, only had it 9 months. but i find it doesn't run crysis 2 on the higher band settings, etc. Is the 5870 an outdated card? or is crysis 2 just a demanding game? (e.g. needs at least an SLI system) thanks :)

    Graphics card problem? or is it something else?

    I had the 5870's fan on 100% during gameplay to keep down temps when it happened ... I was thinking of getting a 850W corsair PSU ... would that be enough?
