I was running through some of the vista features and found that it gave my Nvidia GTX 280 a rating of 1 which I think is the lowest possible rating? Surely this cant be correct as I was led to believe it was one of the better vc'c on the market? does anyone have any information for me?

I added my maximus and from that I can access the other 2 but from the others when I attempt to access the maximus I get asked for a username and password.

So, Where do I start looking to resolve this? I just want to switch off this password requirement if possible.

Don't ask me questions about how I set up the maximus because although I've put different users on (family members) I don't remember ever having any passwords set locally. ]]> Internet and Networks grumpydaddy http://forums.pureoverclock.com/showthread.php?t=4228 http://forums.pureoverclock.com/showthread.php?t=4227&goto=newpost Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:41:54 GMT AMD has expanded its Business Class processor lineup with the addition of the 2.4GHz Phenom X4 9750B and X3 8750B, along with the Athlon X2 5600B and...

Instead, the abbreviated name "Atom" will fend for itself.
