    Is my Soyo KT333 holding me back from OC?

    Have you/can you increase the cpu voltage? I'm not familiar with that mobo so I do not know if you can :D.

    What are the specs of the GeForce2 on the ASUS A7N266-VM AA?

    I have looked all over the place for the specs of this specific vc. Maybe someone who is using one can look it up in the documentation that came with their mobo or use a program like powerstrip? If you know which GeForce2 it is (GeForce2 Ti 200, GeForce2 Ti, GeForce2 Ultra, GeForce2 Pro...

    Question concerning Arctic Silver/HSF/CPU

    Ah damn. I put a big gob of that stuff on the cpu core, then just plopped the heatsink on top. I think I'm gonna return the cpu and get a new one.

    Question concerning Arctic Silver/HSF/CPU

    What should I use to wipe the old Arctic Silver off of my heatsink? Also, I've been having to take my CPU off and putting it back on so much I have alot of goop flowing off the die. Is this a bad thing or not?

    Case battle!

    I just built my system using a Kingwin All-Aluminum KT-436 Silver case. Thumbscrews, three windows, badass ccfl effect on the space around the drive bays, pull out mobo tray. Only weakness is the front panel cables (USB and Firewire) run through the bottom of the case. I solved that by taking...

    Replacing CPU w/ Windows XP

    Back a few weeks ago, I went to build 2 systems, a 2100XP for myself and a 1700XP for my mother. I burnt the 2100XP up on initial startup of my system. I RMA'd it and postponed building my mothers system and used the 1700XP in my system until the 2100XP returned. To get to the nitty gritty, I...

    Careers

    Just about everything about them. It really doesn't matter what I'm doing; fixing things (drivers, software, etc..), building a computer from scratch, troubleshooting hardware, whatever. I hate using pen and paper for anything anymore. I'd rather type it out, no matter how trivial it is. The...

    Careers

    My freshman year in college is almost over and I still haven't picked a major. I'm really not that much closer in picking a career path than I was a year ago. If anything, the choices have broadened. I would definately choose a job in the IT field if not for the unemployment of IT workers across...

    Small sound problem (Windows XP)

    I have a small sound problem that I need help with. When I click on certain things with my mouse, like the internet <back button, refresh button, etc.., I get a clicking noise in my center speaker (5.1 speakers). I just did a format and istall so it's probably just a little option in Windows XP...

    What exactly is Raid(0,1,0+1)?

    Thanks! Guess I won't have to install it as I only have 1 HD. One thing that the article didn't mention is if Raid 0+1 uses both Raid 0 and Raid 1 at the same time or if it's an entirely different function. Anyone know?

    Black CD-RWs: Sony or Lite-On? EDIT: Bought Panasonic DVD burner and black Hitachi CDRW.

    Only problem I have with my 52x24x52 CDRW is the noise. Other than that it has performed great. The black has a slight gray look to it though.
