Hi, the wallpaper is called 'On_the_Coastline'. I didn't get it from here but most likely Deviantart. If you give me your email I will send it to you. [Message Edited]

Where did that Winamp skin go? in Winamp 5 Competition JoeUser Forums

There was a skin there yesterday and today it's gone. Was there an issue with it, besides it being updated?

#74 by Scribe Fuzzy Logic - 2/24/2004 12:59:02 PM Haven't figured out how to overclock it yet. The overclock tab on nvidia drivers has been missing for some time There are MANY damaged BFG 5900s coming from GameVE. Attempting to flash it to a 5950Ultra, the card was killed then RMA'd. GameVE has been selling customer returns as new p

as for the 9800 pro... if you can get me one that costs less than $200, i still wont get it because i dont need a top of the line card. p . The difference between a 9600XT and a 9800Pro is huge. You could also flash a 9800np to a 9800Pro. But I wouldn't suggest that. [Message Edited]

Well I emailed you about that fan controller and its 3pin connectors. Keep in mind new Bartons, Thoroughbreds and Durons are factory multiplier locked-you can only change the FSB. [Message Edited]

#16 by Citizen Hy_Rolr - 2/21/2004 2:24:59 PM I agreeAnd also offer up another possible alternative instead of a title.Maybe just a small graphic to one side or the other of their "nick" I like this idea better than a separate title. Maybe the Wincustomize Chameleon before or after the username.

No problem. I use Arctic Ceramique Thermal Compound. I have had a 6 to 10 degree drop. The stock thermal pad is easy to remove and this application is simple. http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=35-100-009&depa=0 http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique.htm http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique_instructions.htm [Message Edited]

Oh and I can tell you from experience the 2800+ Barton is a nice choice. You mentioned you don't plan on overclocking, so why drop the stock cooling?

Hmmm, how much you lookin to spend on you video card? You might consider an XFX 5700 Ultra 475/900 at $169 compared to 350/700 on the 5600 Ultra. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-150-047&catalog=48&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1 Or a MSI 5900 non Ultra 400/700 with a 256 bit bus (way better performance with AA and AF over the 5700 Ultra) at $185 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-127-119&catalog=48&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1 [Me

Cool. Great card. What were your specs before and what processor are you choosing to go with?

Reply to new 'puter. help me. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Oh and a 256mb card right now is not necessary. You might only see some improved performance at 1600x1200 w/ 4AA/16AF.

Reply to new 'puter. help me. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well, the 5600Ultra has a higher memory clock (will differ though and same core clock speed) over the 9600Pro. There is no clear cut winner. I will say this with ATI--better DirectX9 performance for most next-gen games using Pixel Shader 2.0 and better FSAA and anisotropic performance. Also consider the 9600XT.

His friend has a right to tell him. #102 by IPlural has some real good points and I was wondering the same thing. Since he borrowed it, any changes and/or problems Boxxi should first be notified. [Message Edited]

Hmmm, a dead fan and no burn marks...For some reason, I'm gonna say the PSU. Though I'm not sure if he's gonna swap it with another.

Reply to Yrag.....IPlural...... Anyone!!! I need computer help in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

You can take off the heat sink and look on the bottom of it to see if you fried the CPU. If the fan stalled thus causing the CPU to burn up, there will be evidence of it.

Or did you reconnect anything inside the case? No new hardware added? Usually, like yrag mentioned, the memory is the cause. Have you heard any B

Hmmm, well when focusing on gaming, I stress to stay away from the SE like Halluci said. I wouldn't look at the non-pro or 5200FX either...bottlenecks. At least a 9600Pro--you mentioned the XT in your other thread. Great card. You can get a 2600+ "Barton" (retail) for $105.00 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-418&catalog=343&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1 or a 2800+ "Barton" (retail) for $144.00 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?d
