Ah thanks. I had forgotten the vidcard came with a cd with drivers that worked perfectly fine. After some twiddling I uninstalled and reinstalled and everything seems peachy for now. I don't know much about driver software and such but is it a wrong impression to have that "newer" versions...

System is P2.8c , IntelD865PERL, ATI 9800 Pro Just recently bought a new harddrive and did a fresh install of XP and the latest catalyst driver. Now the strange thing is whenever I start playing any game (Call of Duty, Warcraft 3, Age of Mythology) it'll be fine for a while and then suddenly...

Built my first comp a month ago (many thanks to this site in general for that :D) but I had skimped out on the hardrives then and looking to get a new one now. Currently I got a Intel D865PERL motherboard and have 2 notebook drives with adapters at 20 and 30 gigs so I'm wondering if I...

Hmm, one more possibility I'm thinking. I had also just upgraded the BIOS to the motherboard the day before. Could that have had any affect?

Heh, Ya I figured I would be razzled on the power supply. But my budget was limited, and I went with the 9800p so I had to cut back somewhere.:o If it matters I had put both hardrives on the primary IDE plug, the XP drive as master. On the secondary plug I had the cdrw with its jumper removed...

400W Cyberzone Model: KC-400; it came with the $50cdn case. The strange part is it worked fine for three days. Btw, I refered to your guide a few times when putting the damn thing together, thanks alot. :D

I just put together my first build ever a few days ago and things seemed to be working fine. P2.8c Intel D865PERL mobo Apacer 512 pc3200 Radeon 9800pro For the hardrive I'm using a scavenged Toshiba MK3021GAS notebook drive but with an adapter so it'll work with the regular IDE cables in a...

When a motherboard says they have dual channel Dimm slots, does that mean you must buy RAM in pairs, like two 256? Or can I get away with just a single stick of 512?

I'm building a new P4 system in a day or two. I had installed WinXP on the HD I want to use for the new system using an old Celeron back in December (just to test it out). I don't think there should be any difference if I do a fresh install or just plug it in but I'm taking no chances with the...

Factory Direct - Thats the one heh I'm just starting exams now so I don't really have the time to ebay hunt (heck I should be studying right now) but the factory place seems convenient enough. And I'd really like to have the new system up and running as soon as possible. I'm aiming for under...

Ooh nice. Thanks for the tip but I'm in Toronto so Newegg doesn't ship up here. Another option I got is this warehouse liquidator place. I've looked in their ads and saw a ATI 9200 for $60(CDN) but it's also labeled as a "new pull". I'm guessing thats a nicer way of saying "used"? Theres...

Hiyas, I'm going to be building my first comp at the end of this month (once pesky exams are out of the way) I've already picked out the main parts: A P4 2.8c with an Intel D865PERL motherboard and a stick of 512 PC3200 RAM. However once I also factor in the cost of a case powersupply and...
