Well I'll tell you: considering there are so few PC games that require a pad, I didn't particularely want to buy a new one, and i got this one free from my dad about 3 years ago.

It wont let me set up any pads now, its saying "Your Gameport or Gameport drivers are not properly configured, Please Consult the Device Manager" AARRGHH

No...btw I tried reinstalling but I'm still getting the error about resources.

I'm about ready to smash my PC here. System specs are : XP2800 Barton, 1Gig DDR333, FX5700 Ultra, ASUS A7N8X-X, Windows XP Pro For the last 90 minutes I've been trying to get my old Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro to work. I have it connected to the gameport on my soundcard. It used to work on my...

Thanks, you've put my mind at ease.

My dad has an XP2800+ Barton. When i start Everest Home Edition it is reporting the following info: Motherboard 20 °C (68 °F) CPU 46 °C (115 °F) CPU Diode 61 °C (142 °F) Maxtor 6Y080L0 27 °C (81 °F) Cooling Fans CPU 1474 RPM Voltage Values CPU Core 1.71 V I know the CPU fan is going...

damn my other HDD just died on me - this one is only about 6 months old.

Thanks I'll give it a try - does this affect the operation of the HDD in any way except noise? e.g. make it slower?

I used to have a pretty noisy PC but I have been taking steps to silence it over the past few weeks and yesterday I finally got it Silent for all intensive purposes (except the low hum of my 4 case fans at low RPM, the computer can run without these but i prefer to have them on) Anyway to the...

What about the "Corsair 512MB DDR XMS3200C2PT Platinum CAS2 (MY-007-CS)" here : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Corsair_65.html Any good? I wont be wanting to go above 200fsb anyway so I dont need to worry about that....

Ok cool. One more thing, I'll obviously be needing some DDR400...I've heard the A7N8X-X is pretty picky about memory. I'm using crucial DDR333 at the moment and it works fine. I was thinking of getting some better (than crucial) DDR400 like Corsair but it costs a packet. I've seen some memory by...

Ok thanks a lot. I'll probably just buy a mobile XP2500 and a Gig of DDR400 and take my chances.

Hey, I was gonna buy a XP3200+ but I've heard good things about the XP2500 Mobile. I need some advice though since I've only ever overclocked graphics cards before. First thing is how do you go about it? Is it in the BIOS or is there a program you need to use? Second thing is I'm not sure about...
