Thanks for that info. Right now I have a 450W Pure Power that came with my Antec case. I don't have any extra power supplies right now to try. I really hope it's not the mobo because it's going to be hard to find a replacement probably. I was hoping to wait another year before upgrading my...

Ok I have an Epox 9NPA Ultra+ mobo. Maybe you guys can help me out with the issue I'm having. Sometimes when I press the power button the fans come on, but the computer doesn't post. If I turn off the main power switch on the PSU and then turn it back on, the computer usually comes on and...

My system is about 3 years old now and I'm still rocking the single core. It's got a 2.0 GHz AMD Venice Core CPU, 2 GB Corsair XMS, and I can't remember the motherboard model right now. I'll look next time I open up the case. So, what exactly makes the Antec EarthWatts better than the True...

I used to really be into building custom PC's, but I haven't kept up on things in the last few years. I'm pretty sure my current PSU is dying on me and I'm looking at getting a replacement. The one I currently have is an Antec 480W that came with my Antec case. I remember the Antec True Power...

Is this the stuff you are talking about? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231047

I'm putting together a new rig soon. So far I've got a case, optical, floppy, CPU, and mobo. The CPU is a 3200+ Venice E6 and the mobo is Epox 9NPA+ Ultra. I know this setup is supposed to overclock well, so I need some good memory to compliment it. I'd like to hear some suggestions if...

Wow! Those are some good results. I think I'm gonna just keep it. I don't really feel like going through the hassel of sending it back anyway. Anybody have some recommendations for good overclocking memory? How well does the standard Corsair XMS memory overclock?

I was hoping to reach 2.5Ghz if possible. I don't know exactly what ZZF's policy is on this. I did however choose the CPU that was labeled as BP on their site. The BW was actually more expensive.

I ordered an Athlon 64 3200+ from Zipzoomfly and it came today. However, it looks like I got the wrong one. I ordered the one with the BP stepping and the one I got has BW. So, basically I got an E6 instead of an E4. Would it be worth sending it back or should I just keep it? I was really...

"umm.. maybe you could just use IE/FF when viewing that particular content? just a suggestion. " Well, I could do that, but I'd like to fix the problem rather than ignore it. I can't stand it when something is wrong and I can't figure out how to fix it. I'll try using FFD Show and see if...

So, I have this really strange problem. For some reason whenever I stream a video on the web with Opera it totally screws up my computer. It's hard to explain exactly but I'll do my best. First Windows Media Player opens and begins the process. I can hear the audio but no video. Then if I...

Thanks for the advice. I have already built a few systems from scratch in the last year. I'm pretty comfortable with the hardware side of things. I need to study up more on OS and networking though. I'm going to look for a good study guide to take the A+ test. Only problem is that I'm in...

This is my first post, but I've been lurking here for a long time. I just wanted to get some pointers from some of you guys. I especially need advice from those who are actually working in the IT field. I'm really interested in getting my foot in the door for tech work. I've been working on...
