    BSOD - driver irq no less than blah blah

    You need to set up symbols; see the part where you open the debugger, go to the File Menu, and set the symbol path. You need to do that part, create the correct directory on c:, and then you need to exit, choosing to save your settings (exactly as documented). That will cause the symbol...

    BSOD - driver irq no less than blah blah

    Not sure without the logs. When you analyzed the crash dump, what was the problem that caused it, according to the debugger?

    SB Live 5.1: 4 Speaker Problem...

    Sorry, I'm just perusing posts and reading titles that jump at me. I don't think I can offer much help other then to suggest reinstalling the software supporting your sound card. I just picked up a new Dell system with SB Live! (not 5.1). The right channel kept fading in and out. On a lark I...

    RDRAM.....what to buy?

    Athlon4all - I'm sorry, I didn't entirely follow what you meant. AmusedOne - I've got 4 slots, 2 filled. So it's got to be 2 128MB. My intent is to first drop in two 256MB, then later swap out the two original 128MB for another two 256MB. You're right, there is quite a price jump between...

    Klipsch Promedia 5.1 + 5.1 channel sound card

    So what's the final verdict on the sound card that reigns supreme? I have SB Live!. I only had the choice of SB Live! or TB Santa Cruz from the factory (Dell - 8200 Dimension) based on price. I didn't want to commit to the TB until I had researched some. But I'd like to move to a premium...

    RDRAM.....what to buy?

    Ken - "until its in your Asus P4T-E (must be configured with DIP switches on mainboard to hit 533+) or modified Abit TH7-II." Yikes. Ok. I'm not too proud to admit that's beyond me. Can you suggest a resource I can utilize to give myself a clue? I can't expect you, or anyone else for that...

    RDRAM.....what to buy?

    Thanks for the info - these are the kinds of opinions I'm looking for. As far as Samsung/Corsair clocking at PC1066 or PC1200, how will I know? I'm new to some of this, but a quick study.

    Tech terms

    Anybody know of a comprehensive and well written source for technology terminology? Not a resource for solving issues or support, but simply a reference. For example: sorting through prices for RDRAM you encounter "RAMBUS RIMM 256MB 800MHZ, 128Mx16, 184Pins, Ram Type=8Mx16". Now, I know...

    RDRAM.....what to buy?

    I just bought a Dell 8200 Dimension desktop. I took the baseline, or close to baseline, approach for most of the options unless there was a significant savings with a factory install. I opted for only 256MB RDRAM to start. Certainly PLENTY memory to get the ball rolling, but I would like to...
