Harddrives not showing up in the BIOS and listing them on the second page of the POST probably means you set your SATA controller to AHCI. You need to have the AHCI drivers on a boot disk and hit F6 during install so windows can see them. If your SATA is set to IDE it will show your drives in...

Thanks for the suggestion on the 6200, but according to gigabyte's website this card supports just about every widescreen format except 1680x1050. This is the exact problem I keep running into. That resolution seems to be hard to find on cheap cards. Gigabyte's website

Was looking at getting a 20" widescreen LCD but need to get a video card for my 2nd PC that can do 1680x1050 and MB can only do 4x AGP. I'd like to go as cheap as possible (no gaming) while still getting DVI, any suggestions for a 4x card? Or 8x cards that are backwards compatible? thanks...

I've got an ATI AIW 9600 which has dual VGA outputs. I'm going to buy a Samsung 19" LCD with DVI and VGA inputs. I would really like to use the DVI on the LCD because I want the better video quality. I'm really against replacing the 9600 since I just got it this year and a 9800 will cost me...

As stated before, mouseware and intellimouse software cannot co-exist. To get around this decide which mouse you will want to control the settings for and install that software LAST. If you want to be able to control the logitech, install the intellimouse software first and get the settings in...

I know it can be used for that What I want to know is if there are any adapters I can just buy to convert it to pins so my front case USB connector can use it instead of plugging it into the motherboard and getting USB 1.1. Eric

I just got my 5 port USB 2.0 card today and it has an internal connector (IO Gear GIC251U). I assumed that it would be a pin connector so I could connect my front USB port on my case to it, but it's not. It is a normal USB connector. Does anyone know of any adapters that I can buy to convert...
