My friend had an old PCI video card (didn't know what type) and when he ran his PC at 256 colors or lower, the monitor became extremely dark. He replaced the card with a TnT2 32MB card and at 16bit and 32bit color everything is fine, but at 256color mode it darkens (AKA no change). It's an...

Anyone able to hook up these simply stunning 4.1 THX-certified babies to a receiver for use with a tapedeck or CD player? I was able to connect them to my television and they even maintained the left-right front-back capabilities, but it would be nice to know that I can take the speakers and...

Well, I slapped a Golden Orb on there, and lo, it is cooler. :) 45-50C at all times, Idle and under massive gaming strain. Damn chip runs too hot. Golden orb was from cpusforless.com, it was 13.99+shipping (extra $4, so total was $17 for all you mathwizards out there :)) and it came with a...

You got it boss!

Yep, Eagle__2, we played tribes once or twice, but wasn't a large hit, mainly because 1) you need a voodooX card or it runs like poopies, and 2) you have to share out the internet connection, which can sometimes be a pain in the rear. We also have one or two girls who usually come but don't...

Lookin for something a little different, or a slightly different twist on a familiar title. We get together every month or two and usually have something interetsting to whet our appetites, but this summer, all the multiplayer games simply blow huge. Any suggestions? We currently play: UT...

Ya, you need to make a small 74x74 sized image in bitmap format, I believe. There are instructions in the documentation that came with halflife, or do a little checkin out on http://www.planethalflife.com and that should have a little something for ya.

My cousin played it this weekend and really liked it. He is into the strategy-war simulations. I thought it looked cool. You don't actually move the little samarai dudes, you order them and they do the runnin. I can find out more if you like, email me. --Brians78@mediaone.net

cB0 stepping, been idling all day, and when I look at the abit hardware doctor, immediately the alarm goes off and states the processor is running outside of voltage parameters. It "Exceeds the limits." However, when I look at where the voltage meter is, it's LOWER than it should...

I havent touched the voltages, what should they be for a SECCII PIII-650? Don't know the stepping, don't care. --Brian Flashed the bios, same shtuff....but a little different menu, still runnin hot tho...case is at like 90F, CPU is at like 61C, I dont get it.

I didnt install any abit software when I loaded the PC last week for the first time, but I will flash the bios and we'll see how that works out. --Brian

I have the 650cu SECC2 (about a week old) and the Be6-II and the alarm constantly goes off every other day or so (70 degrees C) and I don't overclock, have a mid-tower case with lots of breathin room, cables are out of the way, there is a heatsink and fan on the processor, and there is a fan for...
