    Internet-source downloads stall - 3rd adapter, 2nd router, no change

    I assume you mean the QoS RSVP service? Otherwise I don't know what you mean... EDIT: or do you mean the packet scheduler?

    Internet-source downloads stall - 3rd adapter, 2nd router, no change

    I can't get my head around this one... Symptom: any multi-megabyte internet download will stall (file downloads, iTunes purchases, streaming video, etc) after a few megabytes have transferred. The overall connection remains active, but that particular download stops. Oddest part: this only...

    My gigabyte 965p-s3 overclocking results....

    Side question: how can you tell what vRAM is set to with this board? I hate that it only allows you to increase the voltage by +0.1 increments, rather than letting you select an absolute value (e.g., 1.9v). Is it safe to assume that 1.8v is default?

    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    I know ya'll are hip-deep in OC'ing, but I was wondering if anyone else was having stability or other issues due to the Microsoft high-definition audio driver? I've installed WinXP twice, and both times everything runs great until I install that blasted driver. Boot times increase by about 10...

    Gigabyte GA-945P-S3 motherboard

    I ordered an S3 and an E6400, with some Corsair DDR2-800, yesterday. I'm not looking to overclock much, only to about 2.4-2.5. But from everything I'm reading, this is a very stable board with the C2D.

    Have a problem with getting on internet HP wants $60.00 for new IP address

    Who "is saying that they have an invalid IP address?" Verizon? The PC (ie, error message?). How does she get online? Ethernet? Direct from the modem, or through a router? Wireless? Little more infor and maybe we can help.

    Can reset button fry a motherboard?!?

    Update: I hooked up another power supply from my HTPC to the 4-plug, mains, VGA, and HDD (but not case fans or DVD drives). No change. By process of elimination, then, it has to be either the CPU or the MB, in which case, its a lost cause. This is a P4P800 (first gen, not -E or -SE) with...

    Can reset button fry a motherboard?!?

    First, let me clarify the problem: everything powers on (HDD spins up, but doesn't seek--though it did but confirmed I was wrong by listening close with the case open--its a really quiet Sammy drive), fans, PSU fan, etc. The USB bus does NOT get powered on, and the video card does not POST...

    Anybody know what happened to VisionTek?

    Well, yeah, they filed Chapter 11, but that was back in 2002-2003. And they are only doing ATI cards. But as of Sept. 19 (the last date for which I can find data), they were signed on as one of ATI's partners for the X800 GTO. Except that as of Sept. 19, they had no website. What kind of...

    Anybody know what happened to VisionTek?

    For at least the last 10 days (that was the first time I tried), VisionTek's website (including all subdomains and deep pages for which I could find links) has been, well, not Visiontek. Instead it's "vDeck" welcoming me to my future website and suggesting that I replace "this index.html" with...

    Acer drops best PocketPC/PDA ever!

    No idea. Their current high-end N50 Premium can be had for $375US through Expansys. UK price with VAT on the N50 is around $430. That one's got wireless, same RAM (not NVFR, though), 520mhz Xscale, USB host, etc, but no VGA screen. Its also bigger (just a tad smaller than an x50). I'm...
