hey all, i'm running a dual Athlon 2000+ setup with 1 gig of ram, and when i'm doing a few multitasking apps, things start to slow up a bit. sometimes, when i'm watching a DVD and surfing the net for example, it just doesnt feel as fast as my system should. any benchline i can use to test my...

Hey all, it seems that whenever i try to install my computer's OEM copy of XP Pro ontop of XP Pro, i'm always asked to create new partitions and the like. is this really necessary? is there a work around of some sort? should i buy the "upgrade" version? would that give me the option of NOT...

i couldnt agree more. usually, its a prob with temperature. get an easy temp guage for your CPU. if you've got an Asus board, dl their's on the website. a quick fix would be to try underclocking, and seeing if it helps any. if not, then it could be a myriad of things. but, i'd start with...

thx! but Quantum no longer seems to sell consumer level harddrives! is there another general diagnostic utility i can use?

Ok, according to XP, my secondary backup harddrive had a "delayed" write problem. happen last night when it was shutting down and the message popped up. sometimes, the two partitions of the harddrive are present in My Computer, sometimes, they're not. i can access them, but its very slow...

wow, thx for all the informative replies! nice healthy debate. but its interesting that most guys mention, they're running their CPU fans at full blast, whereas, my fans are running only at a relatively paltry 4500 rpm / 21 CFM. in my case, wouldnt then it be better to pull away the hot air...

Hey all, i finally got some new ThermalRight SK6+ heatsinks for my dual Athlon machine, but i was wondering which way my Thermaltake 4500rpm fans should go? right now, i have it blowing away, exhausting the air from the sink. thusly, i'm running my dual 2100+ Athlon @ 133 mhz bus, riding at...

i cant get either one to work with one another. instead i get the dreaded blue screen O' death. and this is XP Pro!! oi, vey... is it cause of my Geforce4?? is the ATI jealous or something? help! my specs are under my rig link. thanks.

anyone using this combo? seems like my it doesnt wanna run together. Power DVD just sits there, and the config menu only makes an error. funny thing is Windows Media Player runs the DVD's just fine. Hmm.... conincidence? anyone have any ideas? dL'ed the newest update from Cyberlink too...

i've been doing research on noise damping material, and this stuff seems pretty good. seems like this is a better solution for those with loud fans. i'm not too keen on the added weight of Dynamat. anyone have and use it now? what's your impressions vs. Dynamat or Peel & Seal? speaking of...

hey all, which is quieter? i've seen the specs on Directron's site and the panaflo's are quieter, but can these specs be trusted?

wise butt :P but thanks for the link. besides, i prefer Rolling Rock. :D

thanks! but where can i find a place that stocks the Pabst? most places i've looked dont have 'em.

where do i find the option to turn the HLT on? or is it already? :confused:

Just what it says. Will a Pabst "ultra quiet" fan be quieter than AMD's stock heatsink/fan?
