I'll get to the point: Everytime I insert a memory card into my computer, Windows automatically pops up a window (AutoPlay) of the directory of drive that card is under. I've tried to fix it so that it doesn't do that, but it still pops up the drive window when I put the same card in. Even...

Cheezeit, I've been using it for putting together DVDs, music and video production. I sometimes don't mind playing a few games here and there. I usually don't buy the high-end stuff, so I buy what works for me. I built this computer back in January. As for yoyoyohowsdajello, that helps a...

Geforce FX5700 Geforce 6200 Geforce 6600 Now, let me clear up why I am asking this. I'm actually trying to find out the major difference between the FX5700 and 6200 if there even IS one. Any positive help would be appreciated. I am fairly unknowedgeable to the video card aspect of...

Thanks for the response, but doom9 seems very inactive, and it would take a while to even get a response.

I don't know how to quite put this, and I don't know for sure if this is the right place to post, so any positive help would be appreciated. Anyway, I have been having a problem with the finished product of a burned DVD. When I complete a project, I can play the finished DVD on my computer...

I am curious as to know which you perfer as the best hard drive manufacturer out there. From what I get, Seagate seems the best. But if there is a better one out there, let me know. External or Internal, notebook or desktop, doesn't matter. Thanks.

Yes, the specs are like the one in my sig. I have tried updating drivers and even reinstalling the card itself. The power supply is not the problem, I have used 3 PSU's and get the same thing. Also, I don't play games on it other than Halo, and I haven't played that since I installed it. As...

I am having a problem with my card, and I don't know what to do. My card keeps freezing then resetting itself every so often, and it says it had to reset the graphics accelerator (sp?) because it couldn't respond. I tried many things, but nothing different happened. If anyone can shed some...

I had bought 2 sticks of some Mushkin DDR400 (512MB) with a latency of 3. I originally didn't know what the CAS was at the time, but I just needed RAM. About a month later, I bought what I thought was the same RAM. Same brand, same DDR, looked exactly the same. I didn't think much of it...

Thanks for the link, I think I'll let my friend give it a try and see what he can come up with. Thanks again.

Are you kidding me, it's the only Dell computer design I liked, everything else looks cruddy. :D Remember the old Optiplex? :)

Even if it does, that's just a slight formality. I have a friend who could do the rewiring for me. I mean at $3, it's worth a shot. That's how much it would cost me to even buy the computer. And even if it doesn't work out, $3 is not exactly a big loss for me.

Amaroque, I don't want to to sound like I'm arguing, I'm not, but I just have a couple of questions: 1: On an average, what do you think is a good CPU Temp? 2: Could I add another fan to boost the cooling?

Well, I did a little research, and it looks the same as a case I am using for the other system I had built, even the screw placement for the motherboard. Basically, NOTHING of the actual old system is going to be used other than the floppy that is in it now. Everything else is brand new.

I was wondering if it's possible to use an old Dell Dimension case for a new Athlon 64 system I am building. It looks like it'd fit. It used to house a Pentium I 166MHz. Now, I like the design of the case a lot but is it worth the time and effort to do the upgrade and gut it out? By the...
