I'm in need of a video card that works on 2 different motherboards One motherboard has a PCI-Exp x8 slot, the other has a PCI-Exp x16 slot. Can the PNY GeForce 8600 GT/GTS video card, which has a PCI-Exp x16 host interface, work with both? If this will not work, any other card suggestions...

Yes, I did fix my laptops LCD screen. I first took the frame around the lcd off and found the part number for the screen on back, I then did a froogle search and found the excat model and ordered it from www.getpartsonline.com. The price was approx $285 for the 17" screen. It was very easy to...

I just cracked the 17" WXGA+ screen on my Toshiba Stellite M65-S809. Since I didn't get any extended warrenty, I'll have to take on the cost. I'll call for a price from an authorized Toshiba repair center Monday for a price, but if this seems too high I may replace it myself. So a couple...

I was having a similiar issue with my WinXP SP2 Pro install thread. The solution was to use an old PCI video card.

Dang, at that price it's sure worth wild. I bought one of these for a small buisness for approx $850 at Fry's, 6 months ago or so. I never checked to see if it was upgradeable, but I'm pretty sure they use out of the box Maxtor drives, I don't know if it was a ATA or SATA interface. By the...

I did my best to abbreviate Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2, figured most folk could figure it out... and I don't think the OS is the issue. It looks to me to be a hard issue now. I guess I'll have to repost in the appropiate category. I don't understand why this troubleshooting...

I'm quite sure now I'm using the correct RAID driver, I downloaded the most current version 1.03 Adaptec ESB2 SATA Windows driver from Supermicro at: ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/CDR-X7_1.03_fo...tform/Adaptec/ESB2/SATA/Windows/WIN32/ This most recent driver (or compatible) wasn't even on the MB...

So hard drive's arn't considered hardware..... and bios is considered OS.

I'm installing WinXP Pro SP2 on a new system. I'm having trouble getting the RAID-0 on my (2) WD Raptor 74GB HD's to be recognized during the Windows install. My Supermicro X7DAE motherboard has an Intel ESB2 SATA RAID controller onboard, and the bios gives me an option to use Intel HostRAID or...

A thread I started has been locked, what the F'. http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=27&threadid=1929084&enterthread=y I'm still seeking help to resoved this problem, and this is causing further delay.

I've been considering the Z-5500 to use with my tv and music system. I like the compact size, modeate cost, and that I wouldn't need an amp/receiver. They are THX certified, but from Monlinjir's comment, the sound isn't good enough?

Thanks, will do.

I narrowed it down to the nVidia Quadro video card. I removed the PCI-e x16 card and put in an old-skool PCI VGA card and it got past that screen. I checked nVidia and PNY's support sites for FAQ's relating to this issue, but found nothing. Are there video drivers too I need to install on...

So it's not a RAID or HD issue. I unpluged one of the WD Raptors and disabled RAID, using it as a regular HD and it hung in the same spot. I unpluged the last Raprtor, and put in a spare ATA 20GB HD, and it too hung in the same spot. I previously tried another WinXP Pro SP2 disk I "found", so...
