    Asus a8n-e..

    Well, I've been thinking it's time for me to get out of the AGP age. The A8N-E is the motherboard that I'm most interested in, after doing a bit of reading. I happened to notice that newegg is selling refurbished A8N-Es (Link). Just wondered if it would be a bad idea to get that rather than...

    How to: Upgrade your motherboard without reinstalling Windows.

    Since there seem to be some Sysprep knowledgeable people here, I am trying to use sysprep to deploy images to PCs with different hardware, and have run into the 0x0000007B Inaccessible_boot_device BSOD after imaging a machine. For the record, I am using Windows 2000. Is there a way to change...

    sorry to bump this post after so long, but i've still been wondering what to do. as far as solving the heat issue, i guess i'd have to get another heatsink/fan for the video card? any recommendations? also, i don't understand why i'd be having such an issue with this card... i've searched...

    problem with games on radeon 9800 pro

    no, i don't have another PC available to try it in... maybe this weekend i can convince one of my friends to let me try it on his system. as far as the power supply is concerned... yeah, i guess it's pretty crappy, at the time i bought the parts to build my system, i was unaware how much brand...

    well, it seems i'm a little late to change the order, since i had put a rush on it. i'll have to see if i can exchange them for the kingston memory...thanks for the reply.

    *** Official ASUS P4P800/Deluxe (865PE) Thread ***

    i'm contemplating purchasing the kingston hyperx memory, but i have already purchased that 1GB of apacer memory, could i use them both in the system... they are both pc3200, but a different CL?

    *** Official ASUS P4P800/Deluxe (865PE) Thread ***

    i bought a p4p800 from newegg.com last night, along with 1GB of the apacer pc3200 memory, and a p4 2.8cGHz cpu. the more i look at it, i should have just spent the extra money and gotten kingston hyperx pc3200 (KHX3200/512)... i'm relatively new to this, but i would like to overclock a little...

    chieftec server chasis (model #AX-01SLD U2F 450W)

    i'm in the process of choosing parts to build a new system...i've been looking around trying to decide what case would be good with cooling, but affordable. i happened to notice this cheiftec case over at newegg.com. the reviews look pretty good, and the case is similar to the first one i was...

    *** Official ASUS P4C800/Deluxe (875P) Thread ***

    okay, i'm getting a p4 3.0ghz 800mhz fsb and the asus p4c800 board... so for best performance i would need to use DDR400, right? what brand(s) are pretty good? i've seen corsair and kingston mentioned here, i assume the corsair is "better"?

    *** Official ASUS P4C800/Deluxe (875P) Thread ***

    I have a question about this board concerning memory... does this board only accept DDR400?
