I checked, but .exe wasn't listed unfortunately. I resoted to the repair function on the install disk, which did the trick and all's well again. Cheers anyway though mate.

God I feel stupid.... Anyway, somehow I managed to totally screw up when right-clicking an .exe file and ended up changing its file association to Winrar. Now of course I can't uninstall Winrar, do a restore or change the association in any other way I can think of because....yeah, you...

I find this one to be just as good, or better, since it'll give you the 12V requirement as well. For free. Seems to be at least as accurate as well.

Looks like you're correct; what a bummer... :-( Thanks for the info though Madwand1, much appreciated!

Is anybody running this board with 8GB of ram? I'd like to fill it up completely while prices are at rock bottom, but I'm unable to find any references to people doing the same successfully. If you're running 4x2GB, please stand up and be counted won't you?!

Does anyone know if it's in there? I have tried to pry the information out of Intel's support staff, but since it appears the ICH9R has not yet been officially launched (huh?) they're not answering queries regarding chipset specs. ah heck. Basically I'm building a new system in just under a...

I had the same question as ALV7 and it's nice to hear there are satisfied XP 64 users out there. I've been testing Vista for a month and a half now and I really, REALLY can't explain just how awful I think it is at this stage. I'll try to suffer it another month though, until I finally build a...

Wonderful, thanks very much Yoxxy. Much appreciated!

I will be building a new system in a month's time and I could use a little help/info on safe overclocking. I'm sitting on a P4 Northwood for the time being and my last experience with overclocking dates back about 3 years or so, so I'm a bit out of the loop these days. The new core system...

It's a while back now, so my memory may not be perfect here. However, I'm 99% sure it was: 3GHz Northwood @3.6GHz, 2x1GB DDR800, 15k rpm SCSI drives on P4P800 motherboards. It was indeed a GS+ Silent. Both cards were overclocked, but the details of the clockings have long gone from memory...

Interesting. I benched the BLISS higher than the X1950XT on two otherwise identical machines. A case of YMMV I guess.

What about Gainward's 7800GS "BLISS"? Faster than both of the above I believe.... Not that it's available any longer, but still.

I'm running FAR more stuff than that off a 500W PSU, so I really wouldn't worry. Take Techno Pride's advice and save some money.

Basically I see no upside to Vista at all as it is today. There's nothing new in it that's of any use to me and the eye candy I just find annoying and pointless. Add the increased resource use and I'm more than hard pressed to find a reason to use it. I was actually thinking of the...

I've settled (more or less) on a configuration for my next PC build, but I'm struggling a bit with the OS. I'm testing Vista Ultimate at the moment and there's no way in hell it's getting near my new machine, so that leaves me with XP or Server 2k3. I've been running the 32 bit version of 2k3...
