    File sharing in WinXP...

    s it me being stupid, or is the file sharing in WinXP very stupid? I'm having huge problems sharing files. Between to WinXP boxes, it's no problem. I just right click the folder I want to share and share it. I then go to the other WinXP rig and I can just go into the shared folder. Just the...

    How's the HERCULES GEFORCE3 3D PROPHET III Ti 500?

    << Erm.. I am real newbie when it comes to graphics cards.. How exactly do you gauge 2D quality? >> Just jack up the resolution and refreshrate. If it's blurry, 2D is bad, if it's nice and sharp, 2D is good.

    First time Nvidia user, sorely dissapointed

    I think the problems are caused by something else. Try some of the things the others suggested. I'm sure that will solve your problem. What I would like to point out, though, is that not all gamers choose nVidia based cards. You make it sound like every serious gamer has a Geforce2 or 3, but...

    Poll: How important is having a completely silent PC to you? How much MHz would you give up??

    << Don't give up Mhz, give up the AMD Don't get me wrong, I've used AMD cpu's before some of you could even say &quot;computer&quot;. I had a 40Mhz 486DX AMD at the time that Intel's fastest cpu was 33MHz. It was a pleasure. You just had to lift the handle, take the Intel out and stick the AMD...

    How much extra voltage is safe?

    You should be able to find that in some tech docs for the CPU. I checked that for my T-Bird, and according to AMD themselves, the T-Bird 900 is designed to function at anything between 1.70V and 1.85V. I found it in a PDF document on the AMD site. I'm sure Intel has similar documents on their site.

    Intellimouse software, and the SBLive AudioHQ (not the Creative Launcher, it sux), and of course the volume control.

    Poll: How important is having a completely silent PC to you? How much MHz would you give up??

    I have a T-Bird 900, and I use the Taisol CGK747092 cooler. With the stock fan, I was running the CPU at 1 GHz. I then bought a Delta 7k RPM fan, too see how far I could push the T-Bird. I didn't realize just HOW noisy this thing is. I could get the CPU up to 1.1 GHz and it was stable enough to...
