Hi all I just installed a secondary hard drive in my computer. After copying around a third of my music from the old master hard drive to the new slave one, my music folder in the old hard drive is suddenly completely empty. No folders, nothing. Thing is, I can still play every single song in...

ATX. Yeah, I guess I probably should replace. Supplies are dirt cheap anyways...

Simple question, really. I'm getting an Athlon XP 2400+ w/ a Radeon 9700 PRO. I only have one Hard Drive, Monitor, one CD drive and another CD burner. My current power supply is 250W. Do I need to replace it with higher wattage, or is it sufficient enough so that I won't experience any crashes?

Thanks. Guess I'll go with the A7N266, since it has a sound card onboard, and I don't want integrated graphics so I can put in a beautiful Radeon 9700 PRO. And also, because I'm cheap. :D

oh bollocks... How do you find out what Power Supply you need? Let's say on an Athlon XP 2400, Asus A7V8X-X, with 512 DDR. I assume my current one would be much out of date. And does the sound card also need to be compatible, or can I just buy any piece of shit?

I'm trying to build a gaming rig. With Windows 2000 on it. Aaargh, replacing the motherboard would start so many new problems. So there is NO form of any possibility, at all, to use that processor with this mb?

I'm upgrading my computer, but decided that I will keep my motherboard. Now I want to replace an old P3 667 with an Athlon XP 2400. But... I know so, so little about motherboards. All I know about the motherboard is that it's an AOpen AX34, 'VIA 694X Chipset 133 MHz FSB Clock.' And the Athlon...

Thanks. I was worried about the performance difference it would bring.

Now this may sound like an even stupider question, but can I run an 8x AGP video card in a 4x AGP slot?

Thanks. Sorry about the multiple threads.

Pardon my noobness, but could someone tell me what OEM means? How do OEM cards differ from Retail cards?
