    Good driving games?

    What are some good racing games out there for the PC? GRID looks good, but I'd like to find something that isn't so arcade-ey style, rather, something like Gran Turismo or Forza. Any suggestions?

    OpenWRT router how-to - Choose your own adventure style

    I recently picked up a cheap Asus router so I could experiment with OpenWRT firmware. From their website: I'm planning on writing a how-to on how to install OpenWRT on a router, and how to use it to make the router do something nifty. There's a few ideas that I've been thinking about, but I...

    GTX 260 vs. GTX 260 Core 216 performance

    How does the performance of these two cards compare? Is it worth it to buy the core 216 version? I'm planning on selling my HD 4850 and switching to an Nvidia card for better linux compatibility, and I figure I may as well get a little upgrade. I only want to spend around $250, so I'd have to...

    Blank screen on boot?

    I've been having a problem with my build since I built it, but I'm only posting about it now because I can't find out what could be causing it or how to fix it. If I turn my computer on after if it's been off for a while it boots fine. If I do a restart from vista it boots fine. However, when...

    Planning on overclocking Q6600 soon, need a little advice

    I've been looking at some overclocking guides and I've made a plan for overclocking my Q6600. Is this a good way of going about doing this?: 1. Manually set Vcore to stock instead of auto. Disable C1E and Speedstep. Lock PCI to 100MHz. 2. Increment FSB by a small amount, leave multiplier at...

    Will enabling AHCI boost performance?

    I was thinking of enabling ACHI in my BIOS instead of IDE for my SATA drives. Will this give a performance boost? I tried enabling it but got a BSOD because I don't have the drivers in Vista, I'll need to get them from Asus (I have a p5q-e). Here are my current HD Tune benchmarks, incase you...

    Best way to fold on a quad core?

    What's the best client to use that will make the most of my Q6600? I tried the SMP client but it still only uses 25%-50% of the processor, even if it was idle. The SMP client also requires that I have a password on my windows account, which I don't really want. Can I run four instances of the...

    Good Half-Life 2 mods?

    I got myself the orange box last weekend, and I just finished everything today (I think HL2 has become my new favourite single player FPS:biggrin:) so I'm looking for some good source mods to try out. I've tried out Goldeneye Source, It's nowhere near to being finished but I'm really looking...

    Need help setting up my Xigmatek HSF

    Sorry for all the questions this week, but now I've run into some problems setting up my HSF. I booted into the BIOS and the CPU temp was around 40C, which seems a little high. I think the problem is that I used too much TIM. I'm going to spread it this time to ensure proper application...

    Question about drivers for Asus 4850

    I am planning on building my new rig this weekend (Will post pics in gallery when I'm done:biggrin:) I got an Asus EAH4850 TOP graphics card. The disc appears to come with outdated drivers and the Asus "GamerOSD" software. Can I just download the Catalyst 8.12 drivers directly, install them...

    What's a good 24" LCD?

    I just got myself a Samsung t240 24" LCD and whenever I turn the brightness below 85% it starts buzzing(probably the PWM signal for the backlight). It's not that loud but it is just the right frequency to be really annoying, like sitting in front of a neon sign except quieter. So I think I'm...

    A few questions about my new build

    Hey everyone:canadianwave:, new member here and I've got a few questions about a computer that I want to build. The specs are as follows: Coolermaster HAF 932 (Previously Antec 900) Asus P5Q-E E8400(Or maybe Q6600, but I think dual core would be better since I do mostly gaming and some video...
