Gigabyte 7VRXP Via KT333 mobo, 1800XP, 512ram, lite-On x48 cd-rw. Ive got the raid ports set to IDE in the bios and my cd-burner on the 1st raid channel which works as normal except its slow and uses all the cpu power when burning a disc. If i play an mp3 during burning the sound stutters and...

I accidentally quick-erased a RW disc that as fate would have it i shouldnt have. Is there any way i can get the files back since there obviously still there, its just the TOC thats missing right? Ive tried cdr-Diagnostic and isobuster but they cant seem to do it. Both were able to read the...

Xp install was clean as can be and imaged right afterward which ive gone back to 3 times so far.

Thx ill try cleaning the connectors, but the reason i wanted a new one was cause i took it off last nite and both connector and mobo port were burned black in parts so theres obviously a big problem somewhere. I had to replace the mobo with another one of the exact same i had (gigabyte babyAT...

Hi all, My old computers quickly dying on me. Its an AT case, AT power supply and AT mobo. When i move the wires for the power connector it starts to waver and then reboots. What i want to know is, do i need a special kind of power supply to replace it? I mean apart from the physical size of...

One of the reviews i read mentioned that you can reset the cmos by holding down the insert key upon booting. USB2 only makes a speed difference with scanners while using insane resolutions like 2400dpi

How about just getting something like a dirt cheap ATi TV Wonder or a Hauppage WinTV GO, thats all you need really and it wont ever hold your 3d gaming card back cause its a seperate pci. They have tv tuner and video in for recording too. Or maybe look at the ati all in wonders, theres a new...

Ive a friend getting a cheap D-Link USB port pci card and shes using an old intel motherboard, one of those ones that needs DIMM ram, i think! - the kind that had to be put in in pairs whatever there called. Its got 4 ISA's and 2 pci slots, its old basically. Is that gonna be a problem? thx

How does the Geforce 2mx integrated on the new nForce mobos and an ATI radeon VE dual head compare for gaming? Also could the ATI and the video on the nForce be used at the same time? Im thinking that if the nForce video is much faster that i would use it for gaming and the ATI for work but is...
