    Windows XP mode in old games

    Win7 Pro and up has a XP mode so you can play the old games. Is this like a virtual software or a dual boot XP/ Win7?

    Beep code problem

    Tried that too, Asus manual said to load single stick in #3. Did that w/both sticks, did'nt help. Is it a ram problem? 5starsupport.com had the Pheonix code.

    Beep code problem

    I can't do that, video is out. Monitor says no digital signal. I found a another match for the beeping codes. 2 short is, First 64k ram chip/data failure, long beeps show which bits are bad. If this the case, what component ( mobo chip, ram, or harddrive?) is this coming from ?

    Can I upgrade my memory?

    I guess it is if you're playing against others. Back to the point, I simply have 2- 20" full screen @ 1300x1050. They look fine to me and I do play a lot of older games. I'm now considering a AMD A10 Trinity apu that has a very good video chip. Later, add a better vid card.

    Cooling the backside of a vid card

    Thanks for all the inputs. It's been an interesting discussion. Scholzpdx- I was guessing 120F as I have no temp probe to monitor it, but it is hot to the touch. Also, PPV or positive pressure ventilation is the best way to go, if you do it right. Elfear- Yes, like you I like to tinker. I've...
