Two weeks ago my rig got about 2600 in 3DMark 2001, now it has dropped to about 1700. This is a celeron 850, Radeon 32mb DDR, 320mb ram, Win XP Pro. Since then all I've done is swap out my old NIC with a wireless NIC. Assuming this to be the problem, I've rerun the benchmarks with it both...

I'm using a Sohoware Netblaster wireless LAN setup, and ever since I installed it my system has been running rather slow. Before the install, I was using some common ethernet card, and got an average of 2500 3DMarks (Celeron 850, 256mb ram, Radeon 32ddr). Now with the wireless card I'm getting...

Cool, thanks, that site looks to be just what I was looking for. Maybe next time I'll type in www.(the stuff I'm looking for).com and maybe find it :)

I've run in to this problem quite often; there is a system that needs a new HD installed, greater than 2 Gigs, and there is no OS cd or disks to use, just some crazy disks that restore a HD with the original programs (HP and Compaq stuff). What I'd like to use, ideally, is a floppy boot disk...

You know, that little place where your clock sits? Well, this morning I had a "Windows Explorer must be shut down" kinda error, and now those little notification icons are gone. Not hidden, or inactive, but gone. Anyone had any experience with this? I was just starting to love xp pro too...

I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, but I couldn't find what I needed with SEARCH. I'm looking to get a good Socket A motherboard, but I already have a good bit of SDRAM, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a decent Socket A motherboard that also supports SDRAM? I know of...

Just a question for those who may have more experience with XP than I... I've just installed Windows XP on my system (Celeron 550, 256m ram, Radeon 32mb ddr) and my games are running MUCH slower than before with ME. Just something simple like Baldur's Gate II is nearly unplayable now that I've...

Nope, won't post, won't do anything. No signal from the video card if I have the new Celeron 850 installed. I'm kinda thinking now that maybe it was my slot 1 to socket 370 converter card, the whole ppga/fc-pga thing. I'm bout to take it apart and see if I can find out exactly who made the...

Already did it :( The bios lets me select multipliers up to 9, and low voltages around 1.5 or so. Maybe there is some kinda voodoo stick I can wave over it...

I'm running an Abit BH6 with a good old 366 celeron runnin at 550. I just got a Celeron 850, but I can't get the darn thing to boot, and I was wondering if it might be the Slot 1 to Socket 370 converter card I am using? I'm thinking it might not be set up to deal with the lower 1.7v of the new...

I'm still running an Abit BH6 from '99, been a great motherboard, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to get the BX chipset to support a 1/2 agp multiplier? The BIOS only shows 1/1 and 2/3, but I seem to see several people saying they are running a BX chipset at 133 with an AGP...

I am building a little Duron system (no gaming, just business) and I got the MS-63040M motherboard, and the Enlight 7237 300W case. The problem is that after hooking everything up, as soon as I plug the power supply into the wall, the whole computer turns on. No signal is sent to the monitor...
