Dispute against shaziku

GeneralX — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 02:07:08 +0800

Forumer you are complaining against: shaziku

Item being sold/bought: Intel Core i3-540 (used) and Cooler Master Hyper TX3 (used)

Original thread link: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2721184

Date of transaction: March 02, 2013

Details of the complaint:
Inquired on the availability of both items on March 02, 2013 and made payment on the same day. shaziku claimed that he would ship the items on March 06, 2013. Unfortunately he could not ship on time and requested for more time, I approved without question. Numerous failed shipping attempts without given reason began after that. Reminding him via personal message and SMS were futile.

It has been a month since and I believe I have given more than sufficient time for him to execute his part of the deal. While he claimed to have sold me both items in his thread, it remains a fact that I have received nothing, not even a fake tracking code.

Update(s):
April 08, 2013: Received a package containing both items without prior notice of shipment. Tested fine and since he has finally delivered his part of the deal, this dispute is officially resolved.

3 displays on CrossFireX Eyefinity

GeneralX — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 15:05:01 +0800

Greetings folks,

Currently I have 2 LCDs connected via HDMI to the HDMI output of each HD 5770 in CrossFireX simply in extended desktop. Now that I have extra funds, thinking of adding another member to complete an Eyefinity setup.

So far the FAQ on AMD's site states:
1) Now works with CrossFireX
2) DisplayPort (DP) connection is required when running with 3 displays since each card only supports 2 HDMI/DVI at most

The big question now, does CrossFireX work in Eyefinity with 3 displays hooked up via the DVI outputs from each HD 5770?

Example:
Graphics Card..........DisplayPort..........HDMI..........DVI #1..........DVI #2
HD 5770 #1..............null.....................null.............LCD #1.........LCD #2
HD 5770 #2..............null.....................null.............LCD #3.........null

DP cable is inevitable hard to source for locally so if this configuration works then ... good

4GB RAM - too much?

GeneralX — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 03:33:33 +0800

Greetings,

Generally, the bigger amount of RAM installed, the better the application works. However, I have noticed a few programs, games to be exact, such as Counter Strike:Condition Zero, Act of War ... to name a few, crashed with 4GB RAM installed.

When only a single piece of 2GB module is installed, the affected programs run without any problem.

System Details:
Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate x64
Motherboard: Tested on Biostar TA770 A2+ & MSI K9N Neo
Memory Module: OCZ2N800SR4GK 4GB Kit tested on stock & overclocked timing

1. The OS installation took place in 4GB RAM environment. Possibility of buggy OS was ruled out. Besides, the games ran fine with 2GB RAM
2. The RAM modules were tested on both single and dual channel modes. Programs crashed even in single channel mode
3. Both motherboards used were not faulty in any way, including the RAM modules

Any idea to solve this problem? (Removing the module every single time I wanted to enjoy the games is really getting on my nerve )
Thanks

Solution 1
-

Solution 2
Disable "Memory Remapping"
The only drawback here is the same as using 4GB RAM on 32-bit OS

Counter Strike:Condition Zero ran without any problem in the configuration A
