My parents need a new computer and the last time I built one was over 2 years ago. They have an AMD 1600 bred system right now and would like an up to date one. I figure I have $600-$1000 to spend on it. What combos right now would fit that bill that won't give them any trouble. I am a...
I bought that very same case about 2 years ago almost, and I love it. I've recently did a blow hole mod too it to add to the cooling which you can see in this pic. It is a nice open case with some good cooling features (big open bay with plenty of fan space). Since I've added the 120mm in the...
I am still trying to get him to buy off on the idea of getting a card and the ram, but like I said, he's not big into anything but web browsing and some minor office apps. I tend to go big when I do things, but he's not that way. It's hard for me to help him choose because if it was me, I...
I didn't really worry about the other two because they were higher. I know underpowering can hurt it more, but I was concerned about the PS not being able to provide the minimum of 5v.
This PS just replaced a burnt out lexar which in turn fried because we added the other CD-rom. I just...
Would upgrading the system ram to 512mb still help with the managing of the ram. As you can see by my sig, I don't use the onboard anything just because I don't like wasting system memory when I could be using the card(s) memory.
Even with 512mb, would you really want the RAM to be...
Has anyone heard of a tigerpro, it replaced a burnt out lexar 300w, but I just don't know if it's worth the headache to leave it in there. That low voltage is what scares me, what do you guys know about it?
My friend has a computer with on-board video capable of upt to 64 mb, whatever you tell it to use in bios. The thing is, is that he only has 256 sdram to share with the video and his other mothorboard functions. Windows XP likes to use most of it, and then the video running at 32mb takes the...
I have a Tigerpro Power 350w supply that is running @ 3.328v / 4.838v / 12.307v. Everything is working fine, but I was curios as to why the middle voltage isn't running at 5v like it should be. Should I upgrade, or hold on to this until it breaks????
I can't find anyone who sells it anymore, and it doesn't seem to have the PR of any other card before, or after it. What gives? I am using the 9700 pro and I love it, but ever since the problem I had with the CAT 3.8 drivers, I've had problems with it. It doesn't shut down anymore, but it...
That could have something to do with it in fact, but I don't know how significant of an overclock my card has with the AGP locked at 33/67?

Well, so far so good. I haven't had a lick of problems since I rolled back to the 3.7's. My card and my monitor are both unaffected by what happened, so I don't think it caused any permanent damage.
I didn't realize it until I came on here but I was experiencing the same problems with my 9700pro as many have rumored about. I had already filled out the paper work and was about to RMA my card to gigabyte for the same problems. I wasn't able to troubleshoot the 3.8's overheating though as I...
