    which drivers do i install?? New at this..please help

    This is my two cents and not everyone would agree but the fact is if your running Windows XP it has a large database of drivers allready. You really needent install any INF's for things to run properly. All your hardware should run fine with the drivers XP provides and if they don't then go the...

    Wanna flash BIOS but FDD not working, how to boot off CD?

    First off how are you attempting to flash your BIOS? Within Windows or in real DOS mode? Don't use DrDos if you can help it. Do you have a Windows 98 Boot disk by any chance? Ive found Win98's boot disk to work the best. Anyhow if you want to boot from a bootable CD then you must set your...

    which drivers do i install?? New at this..please help

    Ive had many problem with the aplication accelerator , Don't install it. It isn't required to run your hard drives. Window's provides the basic drivers you will need. Install the other INF's but forget the Accelerator.

    Western Digital 80 GB special VS. Maxtor ATA 133

    ATA/133 is a propriotary specification marketed by Maxtor, It is also a theoretical data transfer speed. You will not obtain ata133 speeds ,infact you are unlikely to sustain ata100 speeds. Truth is the WD digital drive is by far a better preformer becuase an 8mb buffer versus a smaller buffer...

    NEWEGG ROCKS!

    Yes Newegg knows how business should be done. Some businesses just never get it. You screw your customers and you will have no customers. You treat your customers like they are what sustains you and you will have a happy robust customer base simple as that.

    5.1 Speakers Best One?

    This is a bit off topic but I didn't want to seem like i'm bashing Klispch as a company. I have some very nice Home audio floor standing speakers by Klipsch and they sound absolutley amazing. I like to think of Klipsch as good for Home Audio and not very experienced with Computer Audio. Their...

    5.1 Speakers Best One?

    I second the Logitech Z-560s idea. I have had the Klipsch 2.1 and 4.1 speakers. I don't understand why people praise these speakers like they do. True they look stylish and pump out decent sound at high wattage but the clearity of the sound disappointed me. I bought the 2.1 Klispch speakers...

    How is the K7S5a mobo??

    Just my 2 cents. I think the motherboard is about the worse place you could skimp on your computer. Your entire system stability and performance is dependant on how good your motherboard is. I have bought this motherboard and I have bought other less than high quality motherboards. In the end...
