I actually have a kill-a-watt, I haven't measured the power consumption of my system in a long time but I remember I was a bit surprised that it was over 100 watt and I know that the 6600GT is a power hog (also it has a loud tiny fan on it) it's been almost 3 years since I bought the 6600GT so I gue...

replace my old power hungry 6600GT with >/= and less powe
Hi guys, I have a (old/hot/power hungry) 6600GT and I am looking for a replacement card that has about the same or better performance and requires less power. I would prefer something without a fan and would be happy to buy a new motherboard if there is an intigrated solution The power consumption c...

Thing is, some are .rar files instead of .zip, and the new computer's XP doesn't like .rars, so I'm searching to figure out how to install those drivers from a .rar file. gzip or winrar will work for those stange, I didn't know asus wa...

Can someone recommend a good Disk Wipe utility?
I'm going to be selling 4 HDD's and I tried a utility that wrote 0's to all sectors, but when I used a program called "activeUndelete" (which rocks!) it was able to find stuff still on there and pull it off with ease
any suggestions? I need to totally wipe these things for good

Id say what this boils down to is a case of subtle price discrimination: Newegg is treating customers differently, in one case the free shipping it offered to those customers who would only purchase a single item as Newegg elicits an impulse buy. The second case where the free shipping is not offere...

If you can get it. the MSI 945GT is a fantastic motherboard, the new drivers and Bios have fixed all the problem, and it's will allow overclocking and the PCI bus is frequency locked so there's no stability issues like on the Asus. granted, you can only up the frequency by about 30mhz, but it's enou...

I like the idea of building a system to last as I’ve been messing around with various systems for over a year now which is not my usual way. The G33 gives me the ability to move to Penryn and quad core if needed, although I can only see the need for that if I start video editing again. Choices, c...

MSI board has problem reading the memory timing from my ram sticks too. Sometimes it reads 4,4,4,10, sometimes 5,5,5,12. I think MSI needs to update the bios. But I don't think that is going to happen since they have just update the bios to 1.4 and this mobo is not a main-stream big-seller. I’m h...

just got the T1350 (has the x14 multiplier) and have had some strange experiences right off the start on the MSI 945GT speedster The CPU is definitely controlling what range of bus speed overclock is available.

Guys...
I was just sniffing around - according to This review the ASUS N4L-VM board might be a good choice for overclocking chips with 533 fsb. no Vcore adjustment but shouldn't really be necessary.
it doesn't have socket 478 mounts though =(
