    Computer Nerd's Help needed: Intel Core Duo vs. AMD 64bit Turion

    No arguement from me on this one! Power supplies are kinda like car amplifiers, just because it says 600w doesn't mean it will put out a clean 600watts. That's why I was recommending to get the power supply separate from the case. You can pick one from a good manufacturer that has been tried and...

    I've worked on his car several times trying to help him get various bugs ironed out. He has never changed the tps and I vaguely remember telling him it was sticking but I can't remember. I have seen so many bad tps sensors. Probably 20 in the last year. They get sticky and cause intermittent...

    I think he is thinking that the tb is not totally sealed but I still don't think it matters. It's so easy to tell if the throttle body is not closing all the way. If the linkage is not taught with the pedal not depressed then you can eliminate that as an issue right away. Turn it by hand, you...

    I always buy the top of the line, from 6 months ago. Drops less then 1/2 price usually. It's all a gimick to get people to buy pc components at rediculously inflated prices when something first comes out, to make up for all the worthless stock left over when the parts are quickly outdated. The...

    What wattage is your power supply? And did you have the additional 12v connector plugged into the back of the card and an extra power connector from the ps?

    I have a breather filter on my isc because it's running map now. You can really hear what the isc is doing. When the engine is cold the ecu opens the isc for fast idle, but after that there is almost no air going through the isc. All this is not all that helpfull anyways because if you were...

    ..ooOOOoo.. - look what the postman gave me!

    The valve pockets are in the right spot, BUT, notice the little half circle cut in the skirt is on the wrong side for the oil squirters. We called JE about that and they said it was for the oil squirter clearance. We told them it was on the wrong side and they didn't believe it till we sent...

    That XP pro crack is probably not going to allow any service pack or software updates from Microsoft anymore. They really cracked down on bogus cd keys recently.

    Computer Nerd's Help needed: Intel Core Duo vs. AMD 64bit Turion

    That's what i'm talking about. The drivers from ATI have issues right out of the box. It's not just your pc. Almost everyone I have talked to with an ATI card has had driver issues. Even removing ATI drivers is a pain in the ass. ATI loads up your registry with all sorts of crap that does not...

    Buy the $23 case and a good power supply separate. None of the cheap cases are going to have a power supply that is good for anything other then a paper weight or book end. Antec has always been a good brand for ATX power supplies. Get a ATX V2.0 (or sometimes ATX 12v) model.

    That is probably because you created a big vacuum leak after the afm, not because you closed off the ISC. YOu would need to unplug the isc hose and then plug both ends.

    I totally understand where you are coming from, but if the ATI card crashes all the time with "VPU RECOVERY ERROR", and you install the drivers that come with the card and then ATI tells you those are no good and you need the "BETA" driver to make it work and the "BETA" driver sucks and you have...

    Here's for that 7600gt: System Requirements Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply. Minimum 450 Watt for SLI mode system. (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 18 Amps.) See, I told you guys a 300w would not cut it anymore :icon_wink The 12v amperage draw is...

    Don't get sucked in to the ATI like I did, I have a x800xl sitting here collecting dust. Nvidia driver support is so much better.

    The ISC is not always open. The isc is only used to adjust the idle rpm when it is too low. The ISC is the only way the ecu can adjust the idle rpm. The engine would not always just die if you blocked the ISC input off. The rpm might just decrease.

    To me the case is just a box. Some have better cooling then others but the power supply is more important then the case IMHO. I have a 600w supply in mine. The AMD cpu and 7000 series Nvidia cards are going to need a well regulated high wattage power supply. 300w will not cut it anymore. Some...

    yup. I has two pci-e video card connectors. I think there were AGP SLI cards and mb's but that is pretty much outdated now. All the best cards are going to be pci express now.

    Scalable Link Interface Dual video cards linked together to work as one. You need a SLI compatible mb and two SLI video cards.
