This is what microsoft is saying about Hibernation. :) Hibernation is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops. While sleep puts your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your...

Thanks for confirming about Tulip. I bought a graphic card from them and bought parts for a friend's build too. But the last time I went there to buy a graphic card, they did not have anything from mid range(no high end at all). Only had an opened Zotac GTX460 which looked pretty beaten up. So, I en...

It runs very cool and very low noise compared to the power supply that I got with the...

Axle seems to be a good brand. I haven't tried any of their cards so I can't tell you much about the build quality etc. I am not sure about running a GTS450. If it does not work properly when gaming, you could use some GPU overclocking utility like MSI AfterBurner to underclock the card to reduce po...

Do not know much about the cable quality. What I have is a gold plated sony mini-HDMI to HDMI cable. I found that cable from unity plaza out of some pile of cables the seller had. It was packaged but the package was pretty beaten up. The seller did not even know what mini HDMI was and I took the adv...
