    Laptop HDD to Desktop

    Sorry, I fixed the link. It was to a 2.5inch HDD enclosure to connect to a desktop USB. I'm hoping the Fujitsu will connect into it, and through the usb without trouble. Do you or anyone else have any experience with an adapter like this?, would it be suitable for me? Thanks again for the...

    Laptop HDD to Desktop

    Hi there, I've dismantled my busted laptop and removed a FUJITSU MHN2200AT HDD, I googled it and found this link: http://www.baber.com/drives/internal_ha...es/laptops/fujitsu_mhn2200at_specs.htm However, I count 47 pins on it and I thought laptop HDDs had 44 pins which makes me wonder if...

    Leadtek A6600GT Problems

    Hi, I posted a motherboard problem relating to this card here: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...?catid=29&threadid=1834544&STARTPAGE=1 But as I'm now conerned it's a graphics card problem I thought I'd drop a post here to describe it. All the previous problems are described...

    New 6600GT in older motherboard

    I cleared the CMOS and it booted, and was playing PoP:Warriors within fine. Tryin' to optimise I went into the BIOS and noticed clearin' the CMOS set AGP to x4. I set it to x8 and rebooted, turn on ok, then reset. After resetting it went into the same behaviour as before, locking on post...

    New 6600GT in older motherboard

    Hi, The card has a direct line from the PSU. And the PSU is a QTec 550W Rails are 3.3v - 30A 5v - 40A 12v - 20A Still same issue, won't get past the initial motherboard post screen. Displays the info then locks before can even get into BIOS.

    New 6600GT in older motherboard

    Thanks, good idea. I was going to take out my Tagan PSU and try it, but such a pain in the butt to get it out along with its millions of cables.

    New 6600GT in older motherboard

    Hi, My friend has a MSI 746F Ultra with AMD XP 2000+, 512 RAM. Was running an nVidia 5200 graphcs card, but bought a Leadtek A6600GT. However, upon installing, the WinFast BIOS screen comes up from the graphics card, which checks its onboard ram, then the normal boot screen appears...

    Opinions on this Dell spec pls

    Also, does anyone know if all the 9150 range have AGP or PCIe ? Or would the cheaper 9150's have standard PCI slots with no AGP ? I'm just thinking another option is to get a cheap one (general spec would be P4 3Ghz, 1gig RAM, 160GB HDD, Radeon X300) and stick a big card in it.

    Opinions on this Dell spec pls

    Ah ok, gotcha. It's for a friend though, so if you think it's similar performance to my sig rig that'd be great cause it can run nearly everything at 1280x1024, drop it alittle for the filtering, but generally I'm v.happy with it.

    Opinions on this Dell spec pls

    Sorry I'm not sure what you are referring to, a sidewards move from what? I don't want the support, but I would do it if I could build a better one for the same price. I just don't think it's feasible to get a better machine with a more desirable 7 series nVidia under ~£550 I would be...

    Opinions on this Dell spec pls

    Doesn't mention the PSU, but it is Dell making it and sticking a 6800 in it, so if the PSU wasn't up to stratch then they'd have a lot of returns and therefore putting that PSU in it in the first place wouldn't be very smart. So I'm assuming the PSU will cope. On the prices thing, this is...

    Opinions on this Dell spec pls

    Thanks, I 'costed' (grammer ?) building a rig Athlon 3200+ Antec PSU GF 6600GT etc Including OS etc came to £550, which is the same as this. But if something goes wrong with this I'll fire it back as opposed to weeding out dodgy components. I understand the upgradability thing, but as...

    Hi there, I know alot of people want a good gaming system that is as good as possible for the money. However I maxed at £550 without requiring a monitor. There are some Dell's going around this price for this spec SYSTEM SPECIFICATION Dimension 9150 P4 630 3.0GHz, 800FSB...
