    Radeon HD 6950 artifacting on install

    Thought about hardware failure so we tested each card by itself (case clearly tried to crossfire at first off the bat) I think there's something wrong with the C++ pack it cant install. Though we had crossfire enabled at one point when we did try to crossfire right off, and it worked. Then all...

    Radeon HD 6950 artifacting on install

    the PSU is brand new, 850W. Temps are great. We can get in with safe mode to uninstall the driers. Then windows will work, and will install its own drivers. After we install the catalysts it artifacts.

    [Case Gallery] m3lisk RiG

    Very nice turn around on what Im guessing was a boring case. The windows are great, and the wire hiding is perfect to where you can see through the panel. Lighting is subtle, and not annoying, great classic mod my friend.

    Linux Audio ALSA, Pulse, OSS4 or JACK?

    Backing up the post above, I always use the ALSA drivers, on Fedora there are simple control panels for the driver and I never have had trouble getting them to work correctly. I say just use your package manager should be simple as a breeze.
