    Academic version of WinXP

    Is the activation on the academic versions of XP the same as the retail or does Microsoft require you to produce documents. Also, is the lisence tied to the machine or the person?

    Audigy vs Soundstorm

    I have a epox 8rda+ that had the exact same issue that you are talking about. The sound sort of speeds up and slows down in BF 1942. BF 1942 is known for sound issues but I saw the same thing in other games but not all games. I tried both sets of nforce drivers and patched the game. I...

    Are all Pentium 233's MMX processors?

    I'm pretty sure Intel did not make a non MMX pentium 233. I also know the tomcat 1 did not support the dual voltage the MMX required.

    Unable to post at higher than 151 fsb

    Ok!, I got the board to post by jumpering it. When I tried this before I missed the 1/5 divider dip. Now it gets to the point "starting windows 98" and stops. There are no errors and it always halts at the same spot. I lowered the multiplier to run the proc at 1240 to reduce the chance that...

    Unable to post at higher than 151 fsb

    I been looking at the forum at amdmb and this seems to be a common problem. Lots of people can't get the drv5 to boot at 166 fsb. Anyone here have this issue with the drv or other boards?

    Unable to post at higher than 151 fsb

    Hi, I am currently running a tbird 1.4 on a soltek sl-75drv5 mobo at 1533/133. The proc is unlocked and I am using samsung pc2700(from newegg). I have not been able to get past 151 fsb no matter what. My goal is to run at 1500/166 so only the proc is overclocked. Has anyone had this...

    Can you clean a hardware part with a Q-tip??

    Once my dog took a leak on my pentium 120. I pulled out the mobo and all the cards and washed them in distilled water. After it was dry the system still ran frawlessly. The case rusted pretty quickly though. To answer your question I think a Q-tip would be fine.

    Why won't an asus a7v333 boot scsi?

    I recently purchased an a7v333 as a replacement for an 8kha+ in my system. All of the drives in this system are scsi. I cannot get my tekram DC-390 U3W scsi controller to boot with the mainboard. I have changed the boot sequence in the bios and removed all but the hard drive from the...

    Any known issues between Adaptec 19160 and Epox 8KHA+?

    My 19160 only boots about half time in my 8KHA+. My scsi bios will not always post. It does not matter if it is a warm or cold boot. If the system boots it is perfectly stable. Here is what I have tried. 1) Scsi card in diffrent slots 2) 19160 has its own interupt 3) Checked termination 4)...

    HELP with landlords!

    << I've never heard of such a thing as an annual inspection in an apartment. If it's a university apartment then maybe, but if this is a private apartment then this just doesn't sound legal. The reason you pay a security deposit is so that when you move out if you ruined anything they keep some...
