Re: UnitedGerbilNation's drive to the Top

I have a core 2 duo with the the advanced system tray gpu client and I set my 2 gpu's(8800GT) to each use a seperate core, and also configured the work save from 3min to 30 minute. Check to see if each of your gpu's is on a seperate core and all not using the same one at the same time.

Or we could plant more trees, shrubs and perenniels to use up the CO2 and make more oxygen through photosynthesis. But you have to worry about wildfires that will reverse all the gains made by photosynthesis.

You didn't mention how long you have been waiting. Have you checked your order status with newegg, maybe they were out of stock on your item(s). Did you check the UPS order status. Did you get priority shipping(costs extra).
