Just wondering if a drives input/output, access, copying etc, performances are reduced when SMART is enabled on the HD. Thanks

I noticed many posts from people with these boards of various revisions who experience serious irritation with general instability and constant crashing in 3D accelerated software when using GF4 Ti series cards. A solution that may apply to some of you is disabling the Spread Spectrum setting in...

We got a load (and I use that term loosely) of instant messenger proggys out there. Is there any real difference between them. Any ideas which is best as far as minimized cpu load and feature package? Also, ne1 got any idea if any of these IM hosts screen messeges, or have that capability? Or is...

suggestions for this useless bunch of transistors?

If you wanted to lower the net temp in the case, then fans located only where you suggest would be a fine idea. I don't know much about thermodynamics, but experience suggests that air blowing in the plane of the peripherals, i.e. from front to back of the box, instead of orthogonally to them...

If u want the hardest finish, you should either add a second coat within an hour of the first, and then let it set for 24hrs or so, or let it set 1st for 24hrs in a room temp-to-warm, dry place, b4 the additional coat. I used this method when refinishing my mountain bike and finish was kickass...

The guys at www.mconcept.com in Vancouver are pretty reasonable. If you call for info, ask to talk to Harry. He generally does a pretty good job of meeting or beating prices if you find some lower than Micro Concept's advertised prices. Link

I checked the voltage stats in bios. The display did not indicate much of a fluctuation from 4.88V. Variance on what was displayed was +-0.01V. But I didn't consider that the bios measurements might be inaccurate. Perhaps I finally have a use for my multimeter;) If indeed the voltage remains...

Some dude at a local comp shop suggested that 4.97V is the minimum that should be supplied by the PS, otherwise the mobo is at risk of deterioration or something. My mobo had crashed and took the CPU with it. When I got the mobo back on warranty, I checked the bios voltage display; it showed...

My bro bought new computer parts and we put it together today. The mobo is MSI K7T Pro 2a, and the sound card is SB Live Value. The computer freezes every time it tries to load the card's drivers during the setup process. It freezes if the drivers are updated manually as well. And always in...

I just got one of these cards and I'm wondering, since Nvidia seems to modify their drivers fairly frequently, which version would be best and where I can download that version. Thanks...

Thanks guys, I was kind of curious. Sorry, Taz, I don't have a name for the guy, just an email address with some anonymous tag. He was pretty clear about the $100, tho, so I guess it could be a scam (and I would not ignore a PM for an ES from a reliable source for a decent$;)). As an aside, I...

maybe some of you folks have heard of this beast (or perhaps not;) Some dude I ran into has a bunch of what he calls "engineering sample" Radeon 64MG DDR boards that he says work just the same as the retail boards out there. But he's selling them for about $100CAN, which is a pretty...

Not too sure what low end is to you. Softdvd works fine on my MSI K7T Pro with Duron700 and crappy video card.

It may be entirely your internet connection. The following site has some decent info and specifics on reg setting tweaks relating to same. If you are unfamiliar with the registry, then you should take the warnings in the site very seriously and take precautions like backup, and learning about...
