  1. yeah the 9800GTX's just came out...... which use a revised G92 core which is the same one the 8800GT and 8800GTS both use. The 9800GTX is also limited with only having 512MB of RAM, which my 8800GT has. I don't find a 9800GTX worth the extra 100 bones. For $209, the 8800GT Superclocked is still an awesome card that so blows my twin 7600GT's outta the water. Just tested it and CoD4 runs like an absolute dream.
  2. what do you have your setting set at in COD4. It's a really demanding game and well, your card ain't exactly top of the line (hey neither are my twin 7600GT's). BUT tomorrow, something should arrive at my house that would probably help you too if you got one............... a GeForce 8800GT
  3. Caramell - Caramelldansen (Speedycake Remix) huge AMV craze with this song. It's actually in Swedish but if you look up Caramelldansen on Youtube, you'll get mostly anime videos using the Speedycake Remix.
  4. Man my Honda Mechanic lives well (and he's not even at a dealer, he's independent). Any dealer mechanic can live well too. Actually my brother made really good money just working parts counter at a Mercedes Benz dealer.
  5. it was this you were trying to install right? http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst...mce/radeonx-mce
  6. Welcome to the show. [/obligatory TennSpeed.net welcoming] Welcome to Besttechie.net. Hope you like it here
  7. A'PEXi World Sport II Muffler Ordered from www.inlinefour.com and on it's way.......from California. My dad is hopin it gets here on time for my birthday Can't wait till my B-Day. Lucky me it's on a Tuesday too so I don't have to work. I gotta go to Programming class instead. Still neither me nor the other guy at work with the same B-Day don't have to work. Trippy that there are only 8 people that work there and both me and this guy have the same B-Day. Exactly 7 years apart. I'll be 20 and he'll be 27.
  8. Honestly, if you are gonna go through that much trouble it'd probably be best just build a new computer.
  9. Possibly. As long as it has all the right hookups. I doubt that the Compaq requires that 250 watts. That 185 should get it. But to be on the safe side, just plug it into the motherboard only and see if it even POSTS.
  10. RARELY have I ever gotten a virus but AVG saved my first self built PC's hide once. My brother was home and decided to check his email while he was there and wound up unleashing 2 viruses on my system. Norton died immediately (that's when I realized Norton was worthless). I installed AVG real quick. It couldn't update but it was enough to stop and delete the viruses. System restore back one week and all was well. Now I run AVG Free, AdAware 2007, and Spybot S&D on both my laptop and desktop. I use Vista's firewall for the laptop but I use right now, COMODO Firewall Pro on the desktop. I'm
  11. don't know if this has to do with it or if it finally straightened itself out (crappy ISP) but I set my uTorrent to encrypt my connection and it seems to be working correctly now. I will be running some other tests too to make sure.
  12. spam = fail. Say hello to the ban-hammer.
  13. I'm experiencing problems with my network recently while using uTorrent in combination with software firewalls. I'm gonna go ahead an list my current setup. Windows XP Home SP2 nVidia nForce Network Adapter (nForce590 SLi on an ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition) Belkin F5D7230-4 54g Wireless Router (hardwired on the main rig, wireless on the laptop and downstairs desktop) COMODO Firewall Pro 1 RJ45 Ethernet cable from the router going into Ethernet port #1 Ethernet port #2 disabled Integrated Realtek 8187 Wireless adapter disabled. I used to use Kerio firewall before Sunbelt changed the n
  14. Definitely getting an A'PEXi World Sport II muffler for my b-day and having it installed. After that I'm thinkin a Password JDM Carbon fiber Power Chamber Intake and some JDM Civic Type R mirrors (non-power folding) Intake: Mirrors: I'm gonna try to get a hold of them mirrors soon cause they have very limited stock of them. I think I'll just rattle can them black until I can afford to have the car fully painted. I guess they'll make my car look like a EUDM/UKDM EJ9 (Civic 1.4) since they have black mirrors that are pretty much the exact same thing as CTR mirrors.
  15. any modern PCI card should get ya. I do recommend you get one with the same brand GPU however. I'd suggest this if you are running an nVidia card: EVGA e-GeForce 6200 256MB GDDR2 PCI Video Card BTW, triple monitors rock. I have twin 7600GT's and run triple monitors. I just disable SLi when I'm not gaming. Won't have to worry with enabling and disabling SLi soon. Gonna replace one 7600GT with an 8800GT in about a week.
  16. been listenin to a lot here the last coupla hours but don't feel like listing it all Itou Kanako - ivy Lisa Komine - FAITH KOTOKO - BLAZE KOTOKO - Sociometry I'm thinkin Dream Theater's Systematic Chaos after this
  17. wouldn't happen to be a bad board causing any issues? I've only owned 1 ASUS board and it's in my current rig but I'm runnin an AMD setup (soon to change if nVidia doesn't start making good chips for AMD again otherwise, I'm goin Intel). If your processor is compatible, EVGA's Intel motherboards are supposed to be really good. My last rig ran an AMD EVGA motherboard (NF47 nForce4 SLIx16) and it was quite stable but I never overclocked (until right before I retired it but it was software overclocked through Windows) and only had 2 sticks of RAM in it. But I did have multiple USB devices attache
  18. I just realized what exactly you are working on. It shouldn't be too hard considering it's an N/A 2JZ-GE Inline 6. Be thankful you aren't having to work on a post 2000 Lexus. Just grab a repair manual or look up some stuff online (like Toyota Nation or something). At first I didn't notice it was a 93 SC300. Note that you can get either an SC300, IS300, or MK.IV Supra manual for this (if you can't find the right one) since they all have 2JZ's in them. Just remember to read the instructions for the N/A 2JZ-GE and not the Turbo 2JZ-GTE (if there's a difference in the pump, I know the block slight
  19. well my old password was 7 characters with only one of them being a number. This new on is pretty difficult for someone to just try and guess at I guess. I put it into to Thunderbird in the password manager to see what it thought. It had a pretty high rating in security. Far more secure than any previous password I've used for anything.
  20. I fixed it. Called my ISP, told em to delete my old address and start a new one. Worked like a charm. My password on my new account is all numbers. 12 digits that I can easily remember yet is very hard to figure out.
  21. Paradise Lunch - Gun's & Roses (no idea where there's an apostrophe in Gun's but there is) This is pretty cool. It's an all female Japanese Jazz band.
  22. Man no kiddin. That's pretty much the story of every computer I've fixed. I uninstall a crapload of stuff, install AVG and FF and tell them to quit installing everything they come across.
  23. Snow? I was wearing short sleeves and driving yesterday and today with my windows down.
