Well, I have a small quiet zotac box that does 3d bluray iso playback just fine, from a 12TB synology NAS. Wife wanted a bluray, and then she discovered netflix. So we got a sony bluray player which is a bit crap in my opinion, but if there's all these problems with bluray disc playback in...

Hi folks, I'm looking to build a new HTPC. Wifey wants Netflix and BluRay disc playback (not ripped isos). Our old Zotac box is running Openelec and has no possibility of expansion. Now I'm thinking of: Windows + XBMC + PowerDVD (or similar) Can anyone recommend a small case, or a...

Hi folks, I have a small predicament here so I thought I'd seek advice of the wise people out there who have already worked this out... I know, I'm lazy :) I have a big tower case (or full tower as some people call them) and I'm looking to change my watercooling setup a little bit. At the...

I saw a number of foreign sites report that Abit's BD7II motherboard can make use of DDR333 memory in a similar fashion to i845G chipset - in other words you can run your CPU at 533Mhz FSB and memory at DDR333 or even above. As far as I know i845E is locked to 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio for clocks over...

I got problems with the 'cuda, I've tried it with two different controllers - Adaptec 19160 and 2940UW, both with latest BIOS updates, and they only recognize the drive as 180GB. Just wondering if anyone had a problem like this and if you know how to fix it?

Has anyone tried repartitioning a Win2k Pro system to create a small first partition to be used solely by the swap file - ie. fixed length file that would take all of the partition space, thus wouldn't get fragmented and would always be on the very beginning of the drive. I have an existing...

I'm thinking that my problems might be caused by the incompatibility of the KT7A with GeForce 256 video card from Creative Labs... I'm going to check it out with a Voodoo 3 3000 card that a friend of mine has. In case the video problems dissapear and the system stops freezing I was wondering if...

I just upgraded my system from a BX motherboard and intel CPU to a VIA KT133A (ABIT KT7A) + AMD Duron and I'm experiencing very strange problems... At first I thought the problem was Windows 2000 internal because of the upgrade so I decided to do a clean install. After a clean install and...

There are some VIA KT133A boards out that you can grab now.. For example in my area Soltek SL75-KAV is available (KT133A, 686B southbridge).. There's even a review up at www.ocworkbench.com and they seem to like it. I'm a bit sceptic about Soltek boards because I haven't heard of them before, so...
