    Sudden power-on issue

    Sorry to bother y'all, but don't know what is it - maybe somebody has an idea? Old PC - Lan Party NF4, AMD 3000+, Nvidia 6600 PCI-e, Tagan 480W p/s, Viewsonic LCD digital. Suddenly the power-on behavior changed - have to hold the button a little longer to start. Now it's getting worse - did...

    PC Chips

    I just bought the CPU combo from Fry's - PC Chips m/b with 2800+ Sempron - $69. This was the easiest system build ever - no problems at all. Almost as fast as my main system ( AMD 3200+, DFI m/b).

    Leadtek 6600 2d quality?

    Problem solved - it was the monitor cable. I swapped the cables and the problem moved with the cable.

    Leadtek 6600 2d quality?

    I have 2 PCs connected to the same 21inch monitor. There is a striking difference bettween the 2. The 3year old ATI based system looks much better in 2d then the new nVidia 6600. I went through all the settings, gamma adjustments etc. Still the 2D is blurry, not sharp. Difficult to read the...

    "Official" DFI nF4 Ultra-D / SLI-DR Thread

    Re Kingston - I had no luck, there seems to be a compatibility problem with any Kingston RAM on this board. I tried 2 kits of KVR (Value Ram) with this board and only one stick would work fine and pass Memtest 86 with no errors. I RMA'd them back - got a new set and both sticks would fail even...

    Warm: Thermaltake W0014 Silent Purepower 480W with Black housing - Xaser Edition ATX 2-Fan Power Supply

    Oh shoot, I had no idea.... I have to RMA this one back to Newegg then. Now to look for a 24 pin PSU - why don't they say this in the description? How do I know which one is 20 or 24 pin?:disgust: This sucks.

    My M/B requires 24pin ATX power connector. Standard is 20pin. Do I need a converter for this? Thanks.

    Performance question

    I have 2 PCs - PIII 940Mhz overclocked and Celery 1.1Ghz native. The Celery is about 10% faster in every aspect acc. to Sandra 2003, chips, memory, disks etc. But in real life - the PIII is 3 times as fast ! Any app., web etc - very slow on the Celery. For example Photoshop takes 5 secs to open...

    Is it true that in some states it's legal to fake your death if your life is attempted on two times?

    True - but only if the second attempt is successful !

    Get 25 FREE Photo Prints at Ofoto

    I'll try it, thanks. Shutterfly gave me 15 free prints too - but I was very disappointed - washed out, bad prints. I can do them much better at home.

    Where are the Mods? Anand?

    The above statement is nuts. I was born in Czech Rep and still go back there every year to visit friends and family. There is no more bad feeling against US then in any other country in Europe - UK, Germany, Switzerland etc. And much less then in France for example. So, don't say things you have...
