Thanks. I appreciate the help. Now, I've heard nasty things about XP CDs not working as a boot disc. Is this not true?

I am building a new budget computer for my kid brother (just something for him to use for email/web browsing/MSN, and home work). I purchased a new budget case, mobo (w/ onboard sound, network, and graphics), and CPU. I am using some old RAM, an old CD/DVD drive, and an old HDD. After...

The device in question is a GigaFast Wireless-G Router (WF719-CAPR). You can view it online at Futureshop.ca. (Just do a search for GigaFast.) I upgraded the firmware very recently (which is handled entirely via IP access through web browser). Everything looks smooth enough. When I am...

My internet connection appears to be working in every possible way... except for FTP. I cannot connect to *any* FTP servers whatsoever. It tries to connect, but it gets no where... complete non-starter. Any help?

(Thanks for the help!) So, realistically, do you think that doing a full 0-Write with KillDisk would be sufficient?

Hello all. I just purchased a new Inspiron 9300 laptop, and I have finished transferring everything from my old desktop to my new system. There are still some decent parts in my desktop, but I have no use for it any longer, so I am going to be breaking it down and selling the components on...

My brother's hard drive got corrupted. I was able to hook the drive up to my computer as a secondary drive, get all of the important information off, and reformat the drive. Now, I would like to install his OS (Windows XP) on the hard drive. Unfortunately, I cannot find an easy way to do...

By the way, in addition to all temps being fine, and all fans being quick -- nothing is overclocked.

Hello everyone: Please see this thread for information on my earlier problems - http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=32&threadid=1493490. I had a huge crash late last week, and a lot of stuff went wrong. I couldn't get past POST. Basically, my videocard and a stick of RAM were destroyed...

Will there be any new Nvidia cards coming out in the near future that will cause the 6800s to drop in price? Also, is it true that the ASUS 6800 uses regular DDR Memory (i.e. non-DDR3?)? This is what I have been told.

any help?

I was told that the ASUS 6800 uses normal DDR memory, rather than DDR3. Is this untrue? What brand of 6800GT do you think I should get -- i.e. what's the best?

I am getting a new video card for my system. I am not rich. Here is my current system: Pentium 4 3.0C 1.5 Gigs of RAM (DDR400) Radeon 9800XT Pro (256MB) --- DEAD ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe 120 Gig SATA drive, and 80 Gig IDE secondary DVDRW+- and DVDRAM Thermaltake Silent PurePower 480W...

I have gotten over all of the serious problems with my system (see thread here: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...d=32&threadid=1493490). The one remaining issue is my video card. I have been using a Radeon 9800XT (256MB) for about 6 months, and it has been serving me very well...

OK, I've got 1 Corsair stick and 1 Samsung stick running together. If they're working well now, there shouldn't be any future problems, right? I will go out and buy a new surge protector tomorrow (and try to test my video card). What do you guys think about the power supply? (See...
