I have a Dell Dimension 8300 with a 128mb DDR Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 graphics card. I think this is a PCI type card but am not sure. Basically, I was hoping someone could...

IN the rig that is. I am amazed it looks almost identical to my 6800-128. Now I gotta find some benches to run...like Doom3! eVGA eGeforce 6800 GT-256 meg. :o)) McG.

Hello, I just cleaned my PC today and I just noticed the fans started humming in sync. They were all running at the same speed. Perhaps the humming is cause by some dust which is on the fan blades, I am not sure, ultimately this build up probably leads to them oscillating in sync. Like soldiers...

Hello, I wonder which setup is best to prevent a computer from resonating. 1. My theory is that "top down" coolers, which blow directly against the motherboard might cause resonance. The cooler is trying to blast away like a space ship in space... but the motherboard is keeping it...
