    Which Mini PCI Adapter should I

    I'm also interested in upgrading my mici-pci card (i've got a t30, but same principle!). What are some good 802.11b/g cards? cbagz: where did you get those prices? i tried to find them, but no luck.

    You'll Need Heavy Duty Hardware for the games in 2004

    Ummm, those are definitely not the bare minimum settings obviously....I'm running Far Cry with a 2.5 P4 (400MHz FSB) with 512 MB ram and a ti4600 just fine at 10x7 with medium AA/AF. Those must be the specs for running those games with at least 4x aa/af at 12x10 or something like that.

    how does a ti4600 compare?

    Now THAT'S something I can definitely work with. I played both the far cry demos at 10x7 with medium settings and it was smooth...haven't tried anything higher yet, but i'm sure it'll still be great. Thanks for the feedback guys

    how does a ti4600 compare?

    I've got a ti4600 with VIVO (which I use to save rally races recorded on VHS onto my computer), so I'm pretty reluctant to give it up. I was wondering how it compares to the latest slew of cards from NV and ATI. Anyone have a link that compares the new cards with some of the older ones? I'm...

    ok, have a few psus to choose from, which has cap. of 10 devices to hook up

    I've been using an Enermax E651P for the past couple of years and it runs fine. As mentioned earlier, its got lots of 4-pin molex plugs for all of your devices. Just for reference, here's what the baby's powering: - 2.5GHz P4 on MSI NEO2-PLS - 4x dvd-rw, 56x cd-rom - 7 hdds (all 7200 rpms and 1...

    External IDE hdd enclosure

    I was thinking more along the lines of an enclosure that would house SEVERAL drives, the more the better. I've seen them all over the place for SCSI drives, but nothing for IDE drives.

    External IDE hdd enclosure

    I would do a search but I'm not entirely sure what to search for on this subject. Anyway, most of you guys know all about the external SCSI hard drive enclosure, which takes a certain number of internal SCSI drives and connects them to the computer via the external SCSI connection on the...

    Power issues

    So if that's the case then what in God's name will bring this monster to it's knees?? I'm prolly not gonna try it, but I wouldn't mind knowing the Enermax 550's limits. Would a whole slew of Barracuda 180's take care of it (my YY-0221 case can hold up to 4 of them in the hdd cages, and then...

    Power issues

    I've always wondered whether my system could be powered from my Enermax 550...now before you guys say that 550W is overkill for almost any system on earth, lemme give ya my setup and then we'll talk: Intel 850GB motherboard (onboard LAN, sound) Intel 1.4 GHz CPU (no o/c) Visiontek GeForce4 TI...

    OC our CD-RW are we crazy?

    Does anyone think it's possible to upgrade a Yamaha 2100E 16X burner in a similar way? I've checked google a couple of times for something about this and I've come up short. But yea, if someone knows that would be pretty sweet, although I have pretty big doubts about it. nsx

    What power supply for this system?

    bump? weird.....says one reply except it's just the original post...we'll see what happens after this bump here.

    What power supply for this system?

    I already posted this in the General forum but it's more specifically appropriate here. Anyway, I've got most of the following components for a new server rig (for divx and MP3's)...it's slightly different than my other post cuz I changed the drives around a bit. Some don't seem to fit in as...
