    I need a new graphics card! Help!

    Hey guys! Long time since I last posted anything on the forums, but now I'm in need of advice, since I've been out of the computer "scene" for a while. :p So, I still have my old rig (Q6600 G0, Asus P5N-T Deluxe, 4GB Kingston HyperX 8500), but my GTS8800 crapped out on me the other day, so I...

    Decision time, people!

    Okay people! I need to settle this once and for all! Now, my ex-gf and I broke up a couple of months ago, and she took with her the 52" LCD-TV (Samsung LE52A559, which was hers), and left me with nothing but a 19" LCD-monitor for my PC. :P So I got around to borrow a 26" old-skool TV for my...

    Help converting mkv to gif

    So, I want to make a gif-avatar of a small 5-10 second part of a movie coded in .mkv, and I've searched around a bit, but can't seem to find a proper tutorial for this. So then I was wondering if anyone here have the knowledge on how to get this done, preferably without installing tons of...

    I need a new GFX-card! Which one?

    Okay, so I've not updated myself in the newest graphic-card advancements in the last two months or so, so I'm completely out of the game. :P One of my GF8800GTS-cards (g92) crapped out on me, so I sent it in and got my RMA approved, so I've got £150 off on a new card. I still have one of those...

    Strange PC problem

    So, the past days I've been experiencing problems with my PC. It's been freezing for no reason, while i.e. only running Winamp or watching a movie or playing a game. I set all my BIOS-settings to stock, only leaving the memory timings and DRAM-frequency (1066 instead of 800, 1066 being the...

    Summer is here!

    Well, that's the end of that winter, and we welcome the sun back. It's been fairly hot outside these past days, so I've been out cleaning my new (my dads old) barbeque. And a little YouTube-clip i had to upload. :) Enjoy! PS: Sorry for the crappy pics, it was taken by a friend of mine with a...

    So close, but so far away...

    The picture should speak for itself...I went for a funrun, hoping a score of 20.000+, but no...:( Clocked the CPU to 3,7GHz and memory til 1200MHz, GPU at 770/1050MHz. Will I ever reach 20k? I'll probably try again later with same CPU and memspeed but a higher GPU-clock...

    What type of RAM should I choose?

    So, with my new rig, what memory would you recommend for my P5N-T Deluxe-mobo? I've got 2gigs of Crucial BallistiX DDR2 8500 in my current rig, and they work great, but I was wondering if one of these are any better: Corsair Dominator XMS2 PC8500 or OCZ Reaper HPC PC8500

    New coolers for my GFX-cards

    So, maybe it's time to get rid of those stock coolers on my two XFX GF8800 GTS 512. Before I ordered my new rid, I was looking at the Thermalright HR-03-coolers, but when I saw it irl I knew it would never fit in my case. So, what to choose? I'll throw in a picture of my rig so it'll give you an...

    FF7 for PS3?

    Okay, it states to be a tech demo, but I wonder... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thsnDqQu0mQ /me prays to the allmighty Gods for this one, then I'll only have to buy a PS3...I've finished the game 4 times (or so) and it's still the best game ever made.

    My harddrive is in Limbo!

    So, I've got this piece of c.r.a.p. Samsung 320GB HDD which I got from my dad when it crashed, and figured I'd have a go at reviving the thing. First of all, the SMART-status is bad, so I thought I'd have a go at secure formatting it in Partition Magic, which took forever, but I'm pretty sure...

    What should I choose?

    So, if you've read my new thread about buying a new rig for my girlfriend, you may have seen that I'm contemplating on giving her my Cruicial BallistiX PC8500-sticks, and buying something better for myself. So I found that my mobo (P5N-T Deluxe) can run PC9600-sticks aswell. Now, the thing is...

    Woop! New rig for my gf!

    So, new project going here. I got a pleasent surprise in the mail today. It was a package from Tech Data, containing a new Asus P5N-T Deluxe mobo. Now the story here is, I bough this card when I built my new rig, then sent it back cause the optical out wasn't functioning, and I got a new mobo...
