Ya, no thanks. That would make prices skyrocket.
lol they are far from dead. They still are the preferred brand of their fanboys. And just like AMD is able to stay afloat with horrible...
nvidia is far from dead. And never good riddance to competition, cause then ATI would be able to jack their prices up.
That's what we're here for.
Well, what's mid-range to you? To me it would be the 8800GT/9800GT. If you want something a lil lower priced you could go with the 9600GT. Too bad...
I haven't heard any information on any new "x2" cards from nvidia at all. Most likely the reason for this is the heat/power issues. It is just...
Remove the drivers again in safe mode. This time use a registry cleaner afterwards. This time try the second to the newest driver. Should work fine.

It's probably shared video memory coming from the RAM. So it depends on how much RAM she has in it.
Overclocking on an Intel mobo is pretty much rediculous. I would most definately go with a Gigabyte/DFI Lanparty/MSI board. You will have a...
Yep, do a full reformat of your hard drive (don't use quick format.)
Ya, your thermals are WAY WAY too high then. It could be the sensors, but it's kind of doubtful. Personally, I would be a little worried by it.
I hope you're running a Pentium D or a processor with a huge overclock, because that type of thermal change is not really acceptable.
Well other than that if it still doesn't work then you will want to reformat your hard drive. If it still does the same thing then you are...
OK, if that doesn't work what you wanna do is uninstall your drivers again. Then run a registry cleaner. Then install the updated drivers from the...
9.0c or 10 if you're using Vista
Is your DirectX up to date?
Ya, thermal paste does have a burn in time, but the temperatures won't drop more than two or three degrees further. The cores being two different...
