    6800GT Problem

    1. Go into the Core Cell Menu in the BIOS. 2. Press Shift+F2 If an NV/ATI Speed Up option comes up, make sure it is disabled. If not, then my advice might not apply to your board. Maybe play with the memory speeds, as some people have noticed that if the memory and GPU speed are out of...

    6800GT Problem

    The problem you are having, I think, is that the MSI boards often overclock video cards by default through hidden settings in the BIOS. To a search on this. It is called NV/ATI Speedup or something like that and, while in the advanced menu where you can change clock frequencies in the BIOS...

    Now that the DFI NF4 boards are out...

    Yeah, but two 6600GT's are still better than one 6600GT when one of anything more powerful is crazy expensive.

    Recommended system for newsgroup downloads, Winrar?

    Trust me, I've done exactly what you plan on both fast A64 Systems and a Mid-High End P4 System and I can say, without a doubt, that those tasks were a joy on the P4 system and sluggish at best on the A64 systems (both NF3 and NF4). I wouldn't trade my A64 system for the world, as games are...

    Adding bandwidth to existing connection using public wifi signals?

    Now that I think of it, you would probably need two separate internet connections, which I don't think is possible in WinXP, unless you tricked it?

    Network erased my OS - what happened?

    Dear TheNiceGuy, The only logical piece of information you have gotten has been from Garion. First, go into the BIOS of both the new and old computers and disable "Wake On Lan". Next, go to the system properties/device manager on both computers and check to see if Wake on Lan is...

    Adding bandwidth to existing connection using public wifi signals?

    Actually, I believe it is possible, but the download speed from a single source would still not be 6 mbps. You could, however, possibly download separate things at the same time, giving you a combined total of 6 mbps from the two different sources.

    3500 Winchester Running at 57C idle, 60+C (and crashing) in 3D applications

    Yeah, did you remove the stock heatsink putty before putting on the thermal greese? What is your voltage to the CPU? Also, Abit's motherboards report temperatures, on average, 7-10 degrees C. higher than other manufactureres. According to the FAQ on their website, this is due to the fact that...

    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    Oh, by the way. One good thing is that my system is Prime95 stable at 270 HTT with the HT at 4x, giving 1080 mhz. This is faster than the BUS would run with my nForce3 chipset. Not that this makes much of a real world difference, but it's fun to have.

    New official bios release for A8N-SLI

    1004-001 is a beta BIOS. The regular BIOS numbers don't have revisions after the number (e.g., final would be 1003, whereas a beta release would be something like 1003-002).

    The checkbox was the one. Your fonts are probably just set to larger than normal, so you couldn't see all of the text. Anyway, everything you described is normal.
