    What in the world is this?

    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/xhoffmanx/ut2k4.jpg What in the world is this? I can't really research the problem as I can't figure out an appropriate way to describe it. It occurs in Unreal 2k4, CS:Source, BF2, and Quake 4. My Rig: Asus A8n-SLI AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2 x XFX...

    Just went SLI, can't config for the life of me

    Yeah, they're legit. I got Far Cry with the video cards, and Quake 4 for Christmas. Okay let me explain it more in depth. Far Cry, completely installed and what not, real CD key. Whenever I open it, it pops up with a message that says: "Please log in with administrator priveleges and try...

    Just went SLI, can't config for the life of me

    Well, I wish I knew what I could get in Far Cry or Quake 4, but I can't play them. I seriously can't stand the combination of WinXP with the copy protection, so if you know a fix for that..

    Just went SLI, can't config for the life of me

    Matt2: Yeah that is true, slipped my mind :-x @ Woofmeister: Well I think I figured out how the previos FPS was, CS:S has the "auto-setting detection" thing, and the resolution was much lower than it is now and whatnot. Now the SLI Antialiasing is what I was talking about, I of course have...

    Just went SLI, can't config for the life of me

    Hey guys, I just went SLI today. I installed the drivers and hardware correctly, even got the message when booting back into Windows XP Pro SP2 saying it was ready.

    New computer build, Win XP Pro SP2 booting slowly

    UPDATE: Thanks for all the help guys. I solved the problem by installing any relevant drivers from the ASUS disc I could find even if I was using the manufacturers drivers and it seems to be rock solid. 20-25 second boot time. ::thumbs up::

    New computer build, Win XP Pro SP2 booting slowly

    New computer build, Win XP Pro SP2 booting slowly

    The only thing I overlooked was checking if it's actually running in SATA mode, I installed drivers first thing after installing XP, but no I didn't partition it. I'm going to check BIOS right now, thanks!

    New computer build, Win XP Pro SP2 booting slowly

    Hey, I'm new here so I'm sorry if this isn't relavent to this forum. I built a new system last week (specs below) and I'm having boot times of one - one and a half minutes. This doesn't seem right as my previous build (specs below) was much faster, the boot screen only showed for about 35...
