I don't get why everyone hates the 9550 / 9600 series!! For the price.. why are they so bad?

Hi, Thanks for the replies. bim27142: How did GeCube attain those speeds! Did they physically change the card, or did they just change software settings in the bios (assuming video cards have some type of bios). Also, I've never seen those cards sold in the Ottawa area, and since I don't...

Hey everyone, I'm creating this post with the intent of hopefully figuring out which graphics card I should buy for my new computer. First off, I don't want to spend more than $130 (CAD) on a video card, and from what I've read / heard, ATI seems to be the top choice over comparable Nvidias...

Thanks for the reply Computer MAn. One other quick question for anyone willing to answer: When you overclock, does the temperature of the CPU increase as the multipliers and / or FSB are increased, or is it by increasing your voltage that causes things to heat up. Thanks, Matt

Hi, I am currently comparing the different AMD AthlonXP cpus that run on the Barton core at 333Mhz, and I am trying to figure out the difference between say the 2500+ and the 2800+. I know a bit about CPU's and how they work, and the only noticable difference I see is that the 2500+ runs...

Hi, I have messed up my Master Boot Record with a program called XOSL (I won't go into the specifics right now), and now my partitions are messed up, and there are some other errors with my hard drive. It is a 30 gig hard drive, and after paritioning, I had 2 14Gig partitions (c: and d: ) ...

Does anyone know how I can access my real c: and d: drives (not the Ramdrive made by the boot disk) or why when I boot from my 2nd hard drive, which Windows 98SE works, that I cannot see the data or the drives of the on that won't boot, even though the bios recognizes both HD's!?

Hello. I am having some big problems, and hope you can help me! Firstly, I downloaded XOSL, and decided to install it without reading the readme's and FAQ's, and made the mistake of installing it to my C:\ from within Windows!! (I only found out on another computer that that was not to be done!)...

When you go on say Win MX, Kazaa, or Direct Connect, sometimes you will find a complete album when you do a search, which are usually about 40 meg, but are one (1) MP3 file. What is the use of that? (As you cannot easily skip from one song to another) and if you were to burn it, it would seem as...

Ok. What I did is I installed MS Office 97, but only checked off Access under the Custom Installation, and installed it under a dir called /Office 97/. Then I installed Office 2000, and told it to keep my Access 97, and deselected Access 2000, so that it would install all but that, and installed...

Hi, I was wondering if I would be able to have only MS Access '97 installed from the Office 97 CD, and then install MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint from the Office 2000 CD, as I need to use Access 97, but would prefer to have the newest versions of the other Office programs. So if there is a way to...

I installed all the software (version 5.0), and have it plugged into my USB port, but whenever I am in the Quickcam software and I try to take a picture, all I get is a blue and white image. (It doesn't actually display a real image, just like the top is blue and gradually turns to white, but it...

Hi, I have a pair of Altec Lansing ACS 48 speakers, and now when I go to click the up volume button on the right speaker, it makes kind of a clicking sound (not a normal little click of a button itself being pushed, but almost like a sound coming from the speaker) This has been happening for a...

Hi, I have currently a Sound Blaster 16, and have the Altec Lansing ACS 48 speakers. I notice some hiss when I turn up the speakers when hooked up to the Line Out port on the sound card, but when I move them to another room and hook them up to a discman, there is no more hiss, and the sound...
