So the specs on the machine is... - 3.0Ghz Intel P4 - 1 Gig PC3200 RAM - Abit IC7-G Motherboard - 400w Antec PSU I was looking at the x1950 Pro...but the price is a little over $200. Another concern of mine is that if I switch from an ATI card to a Nvidia...I do not have the time or...

So heres the deal...The ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card in one of my machines has died. I need to find an AGP replacement card for the machine. This machine is used for moderate gaming so I would like to replace it with something decent. My budget is at or below $200. So what are your...

The company is currently using a cable modem (business grade). Would a router still need to be used or would a switch in front of the ASA be enough?

I'm looking for some suggestions concerning some network upgrades. Currently, I am supporting a six-user environment (will be expanding). Their network consists of: Dell PowerEdge 830 Server * Intel P4 3.0Ghz CPU * 2 Gigs RAM * Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 Standard Edition * 2x...

So, the stress test I started earlier ran for 2 hours without any errors....so I'm going to assume all is well now. Going to have to RMA the OCZ RAM though, cause I think that was the culprit. Thanks for all the help!

Alright, since I have never ran the small fft or large fft tests with orthos before (only ran the blended test), how long do I let those run for? Do they just stop when they're done or does it keep going until I stop it. Thanks for all the help, I really appriciate it.

Well the RAM I have installed now is Corsair PC3200 RAM since the PC4000 seems to be bad. Currently as Orthos runs, the CPU is at 47* (CPU is at stock speeds) and the Case Temp is at 37*C, so it seems like I'm getting good ventilation. I have two 120mm fans (1x front, 1x back) and a 80mm fan...

I'm hoping it's just the RAM that went bad. However it still does not make sense to me why orthos would fail after an hour with the stock settings, I tried rerunning orthos again, and it never was able to make it to an hour again. I'm trying to rerun it now as we speak and I guess we'll see...

Alright, so this is what happened, two nights ago I got a blue screen while I was doing some word processing in Windows. I didn't think anything of it, so I just ignored it. But last night, it happened again...this time it did it like three times in one night. So I thought maybe my system was...

I was wondering if the ThermalRight XP90 (with AS5) was adequate enough to cool my AMD X2 3800+ that I plan on OC'ing to at least 2.4ghz clock speeds (higher if I can get it higher of course). I'm just asking because I know the XP90 was pretty good at cooling single core processors but I just...

Well I cancelled my order for the AMD X2 4400+ and the additional gig of ram. I decided that I could not afford the 4400+ right now (still have to buy books for school) so I went back to the 3800+. I'll just stick with the 2x 512mb of Corsair XMS ram (timings are 2-3-3-6) for now and maybe...

What ram do you suggest I get then? All I want to do is a mild OC to 2.4...maybe 2.6 tops.

Do you think I could get to 2.6 with the memory I have? 4x512mb Corsair XMS (PC3200)...

Well guys....I decided to buy the AMD X2 4400+ instead of the 3800+ like I planned. I still plan on OC'ing though, and I want to get the 4400+ to 4800+ speeds...hopefully it'll be just as easy with this chip.

Alright, I'm going to buy the 3800+ instead of the 4600+ and save myself some money. I might be pinging you guys again when I get the processor for OC'ing help.
