rconzx:Thanks, I'll give Nvidia's forum a go. I'm not having any problems with the 8200M gpu that came with it. I ran gpuZ and determined it as indeed attached to a pci slot and had 16 stream processors... but that isn't really enough for me. That doesn't mean anything.. What you need to find out is whether you have a SOCKET or not.. Most likely ...

OmniNegro:When storing the contents of a scene, and other information, is there really a measurable difference between different memory types? Storing? No.. Accessing.. yes.. More important than storing is how fast the GPU can pull the information from it's memory.. There isn't much ''storing'' go on, most of the time the GPU is just working ...

seegarfan:As far backup, you would not trust the NAS to handle that?  I was going to install 2 1TB HD set up in a mirror configuration to backup all my photos and videos. No. That's putting your eggs in one basket..  The PSUs on these NASs can sometimes go bad and you might have difficulty getting the data off the drive in that ...

OmniNegro:It plays almost all games with decent quality and good FPS. Decent quality? That's DEFINITELY arguable. The consoles are notorious for bad texture quality in their games..  Look at the newspaper stand and the street sign in MW2   Or look at the side of the building..  Unless I was as blind, the poor texture quality ...

<~~~~~ nvidia fanboy   Don't get an nvidia card. ATI's offerings are so much faster and cheaper right now. If you want nvidia, wait until Jan/Feb of 2010 when the Fermi's are released (assuming they don't get delayed again).. That's what I'm doing..

seegarfan:If you don't mind another question, what are your thoughts on using powerline connections for ethernet hookups to my Direct TV receivers?   I never recommend them.. Too many things that can cause interference with your network connection..  Also, don't forget that servers pull more power than NASs do..    Also, ...

CompWiz:No.  Rails are not additive.  On the label it says ''+12v1, +12v2, +12v3 max load: 540watts'', and that's your total +12v limit.    ??? This wasn't a question about max load, this was a question about power distribution within the context of getting a 650 watt Earthwatts for a 4890. Since he's already picking a ...

He needs a DVI-I to DVI-D adapter or a different cable..

Fallout 3: DirectX 9.0c compliant card with 256 MB RAM (NVIDIA 6800 or better / ATI X800 or better) You should be fine as long as you have the 256MB+ card.   Dragon Age: Geforce 6600 GT or Radeon X850 with 128 MB, Again, you should be fine to run these games at the lower graphics options, definitely won't be able to run either of ...

Intrawebs:1. If my PWS doesnt have a fan cable, can I still plug a fan into its designated slot on the mobo? Yes.  But the rotational speed of the fan you connect will show up under ''PSU fan speed''. Some PSUs report their fan speed back to the mobo, and some don't.   Intrawebs: 2. The NB Fan (North Bridge Fan Header) is that for ...

Ya, my bad.. Looks like the max temp for the Windsors is 70C so you are overheating..   

Wasper:I don't know why they went backwards with player numbers...   You can't just keep adding better graphics and more special effects to a game and expect it to magically always be better than the one before on the same hardware..  Cuts and sacrifices need to be made to squeeze out that extra performance and the player limit is to ...

Pull it from another enclosure.

Power supply make / model? CPU temps are a little high, but it shouldn't be erroring out at only 80C..
