Mine seems to top at ~260k as well, but we've been having hour-long (or more) losses of connection for some retarded reason almost daily...:|

jvang125, Sounds the like "wonderful" Chernobyl virus, (aka W95.CIH) that you're talking about. I've seen that turn up all too frequently when using winmx/kazaa. Found a program that supposedly allows one to recover their HD in the event that someone actually gets their HD hosed due to that...

Drive Image or Norton Ghost are good for that.

I'd say closer to 200W but, try this here The information may be a little old, but you get a general idea.

Having Read/Write errors would be another sign of impending drive failure. I found a program called SpeedFan that's supposed to show the SMART status of your drives. Windows 2k/XP tell you the health of your drives in disk management.

As I don't use NPF 2k3, I can't help you with that part. :frown: As far as what system32.exe is: Take a look at this thread, and see if it helps.

TMPGenc is also a very good one. It can do quite a bit with an mpeg

www.pogo.com is also a good one. You can supposedly win real money too...

You could try a program called POP peeper. (what a great name...) It's freeware. Here's the info.

Take a look at some of the ones at anthro.com They build custom desks, workspaces, etc...

Sony 14" Floor speakers and Sony surround speakers :) Logitech 4.1 is pretty decent too. If you want Dolby Surround, then I'd have to go with Klipsch or Creative.

If it's anything like newer boards that have space for SDRAM and DDR, probably not. As it could cause your board swear at you. (Those wonderful strings of beeps you get when something on the board doesn't like you... :disgust: ) You could always try, and see what happens though... You'd probably...

Would probably have to do a clean install, and proceed as shootinyou suggested. You can't copy XP to drive D and switch the jumpers, to try and make it C. I tried this once (using Norton Ghost to clone the drive), and Windows threw a fit trying to find everything, because even after switching...

Dang...that's a lot of reading material to sort through. :P Are you sure you emptied your Bin? If there's stuff in them, (them? only one in mine...) it's supposed to be the contents of your Bin. Try emptying them like you would the normal Recycle Bin. btw...just out of curiousity. Looking at...

You can get a pretty decent M.board for $150 or less. ASUS is a good, reliable brand. Most of the boards I've bought have been ASUS. If you're looking to do some oc'ing eventually, :D ASUS boards (as well as ABIT) are good for that as well.
