Well, I normally don't use sleep mode on any of my PCs, but I figured I'd give it a shot with my new installation of the Win7 RC1. It works fine except that when I wake it from sleep, I get a drawn-out buzz out of my PC speaker for maybe thr...

To me, it all depends what you're doing with the card. At my desk, I use the onboard on my X48-DQ6 and it sounds fine through a set of decent 2.1 speakers. For my HTPC in the living room, I run it through a full high-end receiver and speaker se...

Like Clay and Lo, I really loved AC1 despite some of the downfalls that I have to admit were pretty big. It was an awesome story and the graphics and setting were just beautiful. It was a really nice change from the typical hack/slash and FPS junk ...

Holy lord! If that'd true, that's an amazing deal. I can't believe how cheap 360s are getting. But with the new slim PS3, I guess it's kind of a necessity.Great find!...

Cracking is certainly one way and is relatively guilt-free if you did indeed purchase the game. However, the best way is to simply call them up and tell them your story. I would bet good money that they'll fix your problem with very little hass...

I'm with Andrew on this one. It seems like there'd be a VERY limited market for something like this. I would think most ITX builds would be for low-profile applications and not something this flashy. Plus, when compared to the cost of the ...

I voted "I think it is a cool concept, but not compelling enough to buy."I think it's something with real promise but it's not something I have a strong desire to adopt early. First of all, I think the prices are too high on the read...

Yup, Notepad++ or Textpad for languages like that....

I voted no but what I really wanted was a "Maybe" option. I'm not sure really. I'll probably wait for it to be out a while and go on reviews....

QUOTE (wevsspot @ Oct 19 2009, 11:10 AM) In the old days of AMD's CnQ that was a fair statement most of the time. With current boards and cpu's the power saving features work amazingly well, even on a reasonably overclocked system. ...

Your program intends to test how quickly a given PC can draw a picture on a screen. However, that's not the hard part. That's not what users really need to know. Putting the picture on the screen is easy. The hard part is rendering the pi...

Some people will notice a huge difference and other people will notice nothing at all. It just depends how picky you are really. If you've been using onboard for this long and not had a problem with it, I would bet you won't notice a big di...

My OCC link points to the "View New Posts" page. I always go there first. I voted "Recent Topics" because I assume that's the same thing, but I'm actually not sure....

I don't really care about twitter. I'm just ignoring it and waiting for it to go away. I don't feel like it's being "forced" on me though. That seems to be implied in the poll responses and I think that's a weird sentim...

Shouldn't you be the one telling us if that video card is enough for your monitor? I mean if anyone would know, wouldn't it be the guy who can actually get his hands on the parts and test it? Why not just try it out yourself and see first h...

You should start out by reading general guides. I wrote one a while ago. You can find it here. It's a bit old and generalized, but it should be good for getting you started.As for a "step-by-step" guide, you're not likely to find t...

Looks like a fairly good deal as long as you don't care about the specifics of what's inside your case. The Alienware parts descriptions are majorly lacking and personally I'd never buy a PC with part descriptions that vague. Maybe they...
