    Problem w/onboard Highpoint controller. PLZ HELP!!

    I have an Abit KR7A mobo and the onboard HPT372 controller has given me nothing but problems. Disk transfer performance is OK, but most games and applications take several minutes to load and games run very slowly. I've found that if I actually disable the HPT372, the load problems go away and...

    This is a pretty dumb question, but since I have no experience with installing fans, I need a little help. I am trying to attach a Delta 80mm fan to an Alpha PAL8045 heatsink. The delta has screw holes at both the top and bottom. I basically need to know if I am supposed to run the screw...

    A7V333-R or KR7A-R?

    Hello, all. I am building a new Athlon XP system and I am trying to decide which motherboard to get; either the Asus A7V333 or the Abit KR7A. I know there is already a thread debating between the Iwill KT333 board and the Abit board, but I think this is a tougher decision. Price is not a...

    Finish degree or get more real-world experience?

    Sigh...That's what I knew, anyway. I just needed a kick in the pants to get motivated again. God, I don't know if I can go back to that stinking lab for 6 hours a night again. I was hoping all you guys would say; "Degree? You don't need no stinkin' degree!! You can become a millionaire...
