    Graphic Cards What gfx card?

    Being the owner of a 6600GT myself, I have no hesitation is recommending the same. I bought it for 14K and the price is now around 9K. :-(

    Graphic Cards Newcomer to rock graphic market

    Didnt we hear the same about the XGA Volari? See where it is now... Ah, my first post here in a month (or maybe more). Just been hovering around here. The new V2 forum screen said "Hey, I noticed you have not posted for a loooong time. WTF? Go do it now and get back into the fold". Or something...

    THG at the Races

    And of all places, he had to go the US GP!! Must have missed out on a lot of actual racing... Good article however. Some of the facts are really eye-opening.

    Need suggestion!!!tech magazine

    Yeah, Nikhil, TE does all that. Now if only they could ship a CD/DVD every month, I would not even look at any other magazine! Hey Magnet, have you considered PC Quest? I used to subscribe to them until a short while ago. Stopped because the articles in them were getting slightly irrelevant to...

    Graphic Cards R520, "Fudo" rocks at over 600MHz

    As far as the Fudo is concerned, I will go by the saying "Seeing is believing". So much has been written about the Fudo that it is now difficult to determine what is real and what is fanciful speculation. Let it come on the market and go head to head with the 7800GTX and then we can all argue...

    CPU/Mobo Intel Support Contact number

    But you still have to contact that "closest" person and probably go there and hand over the board to them. Will they come and pick up your mobo from your place? I doubt that. If they do, then that is what I would call "support/service". And I will want it for everything else in my PC too. :)

    CPU/Mobo Intel Support Contact number

    Why don't you just take it to your dealer and let him handle everything? After all, it is still under warranty. I dont think Intel or anyone else for that matter will come to your place, pick up the mobo and give you a replacement. At least I have never heard of any such thing. It is not a...

    Half-Life 2

    Well, the meaning of the ending is quite obvious I think. "All will be explained in Half-Life 3 " is what it means. Of course, it will probably explain what happened after the events in Half-Life 2 and will leave you wondering the same thing at *its* end.

    Any MAC users here?

    Yes, at the moment I would say "Buy a PC"! :) Sorry, couldn't resist that! What Intel applications are you running on the Mac? Windows? Even a PC can't speed that one up.

    Graphic Cards ATI reports 3rd quarter loss

    My bad. I looked at the SLI scores and thought "This is the real deal". The single card scores are at 77xx, as you pointed out. I checked Beyond3D for the review. I must say that the performance of the 7800GTX is damn impressive. Overall, it scores approx. 48% more over the 6800 Ultra in all...

    Graphic Cards ATI reports 3rd quarter loss

    Hey, the earlier benchmarks with 3DM '05 showing the 7800 at around 7400 marks seem to be pure BS. The Tom's Hardware benchmark tell a different tale. Have you guys seen this?

    CPU/Mobo A first look at Apple's Intel Mac (with photos)

    Yeah, who needs Windows on Macs? Who cares? We already have Windows leaking out of our ears and other unmentionable places! What we need is Mac OS X running on the PCs, *my* PC in particular! I am already running WindowBlinds, DesktopX and such like trying to make my Windows look like a Mac...

    Graphic Cards 7800GTX Specs @ Asus.com.tw

    They seem to have a complete images block on that page. None of them are loading, not even the bulleting and highlighting images.

    Graphic Cards Video Card for 17-18K?

    I don't think any dealer will return cash back to you under any circumstances, unless he is your close relation. Even then he would probably crib about it! If you dont play games beyond 1280x1024 the 6600GT is the best bet. I have one and play at the same resolution sometimes with 4xAA / AF...

    Recommended Antivirus

    From the poll results, I see that AVG and Kaspersky are tied but I am using the AVG Free edition for over a year now and not even a sinlge infection during that period. It is a little resource hungry though, as of now it is using nearly 36MB of my RAM.

    Graphic Cards nVidia and ATI getting into IGP market again

    Intel has always been by far the largest manufacturer of mobo integrated graphics. Now, nVidia and ATI want to play catch-up and are planning to release a host of mobo integrated graphic chipsets, some of which are already in the market. AnandTech has a brief write-up about the roadmap here...

    Has anyone Played this??

    Hadn't even heard of this until now. Looks very, very similar to Serious Sam. Maybe some "borrowed code" somewhere? No offense to the developer, of course. Hey, it seems to be developed for the Pocket PC! Check the download file list, the files are more than an year old.

    New Quake 4 screen shots!

    Two new Quake 4 screen shots Yes, it looks awesome. But it beginning to look more and more like an expansion pack to Doom 3, IMO. Of course, it is using the Doom 3 engine and so on, but at least they will put in some outdoor areas with a lot of freedom of movement unlike the seriously...
