    How do I update SLI Drivers (7950GT)

    Hello all. I hate to seem like a newbie here, but I am unsure how to update drivers for an SLI system. I've done driver updates before, but this is our first SLI computer and I don't want to screw it up. Also, on the NVIDIA site, the driver I THINK I'm supposed to be using, doesn't list...

    IBM 600 Thinkpad

    XP won't load. NOT enough resources. 2K I don't have. The point of this is that the kid wants to play legacy games. This is a PERFECT choice for legacy games like Mech2. I tried the IBM site. I can't find anything.

    IBM 600 Thinkpad

    Need a little help. I have an old IBM 600 Thinkpad which my company gave to me as they are upgrading. The specs are below. I wiped the drive and installed Windows 98SE. The system operates fine. However, the laptop display will only display 640X480 resolution, and the viewable area only...

    dvi-i or dvi-d

    That's what I thought. The reason I asked was someone in another forum was complaining about "tearing" or some the "vertical line" problem that existed in some LD90D+ monitors, and it was suggested they connect both. This is one really nice monitor for the price. No need to reply. Thanks.

    dvi-i or dvi-d

    Ok, I've got a question on this. I connected a Hyundai LD90D+ LCD monitor to my Radeon 9800Pro using the supplied DVI-D cable. Obviously, the 9800 has a DVI-I connector. The question is...Since I "don't really have an analog connection"...do I need to also connect the VGA cable in...

    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256RAM) versuse X800GTO AGP (256 RAM)

    Well, all is right with the world for now! LOL! I'll probably do the RAM upgrade this weekend, but everything suggested in here proved to be accurate. Oh, I also let him read your comments. LOL! He loved them. Last quick question. I know that the processor can be overclocked from within...

    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256RAM) versuse X800GTO AGP (256 RAM)

    I appreciate the feedback. The 14 year old response is that the game looks lousy in DX7. Now, I don't know if any of you have children, but 14 year old boys with hormonal imbalances from puberty are NOT easy to deal with. So...I'll make one last request. Can you give me an idea of what the...

    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256RAM) versuse X800GTO AGP (256 RAM)

    I've listed the specs for my son's rig below. Recently, I upgraded the system RAM from 512MB to 1GB. Unfortunately, the chip was bad. I removed the chip, reloaded the OS and all apps and its now running at 512MB again. He is playing all the "high falootin'" games but unfortunately is...
