New build. Downloaded CPU-Z just to check it out. BIOS is displaying 9-9-9-24 both channels. CPU-Z (Memory tab) reporting 11-11-11-28 I did try one thing in BIOS which was switch to XMP profile but BIOS and CPU-Z still reported those same timings. Thanks for any light you may shed. -Windows 7...

I am trying to set my boot drive to a usb dvd drive to install windows 7 but the mobo will not power both at the same time. I can either have the keyboard plugged in and access the bios but then the drive isn't there to select, or I can have the drive plugged in but the keyboard will not...

Ordered this 140mm fully modular PSU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817256065 Spent the extra money on this PSU plus a kit of shorter cables to keep things tidy. I did bundle with other things on newegg and used a promo code to get $25 off orders over $250 etc... so overall I...

Someone recommended a Corsair 430CX Modular but I would prefer more wattage and better build quality. I would like to be able to run a 660ti. Apparently there are space limitations in this case (node 304) between graphics card and psu so a short but strong psu is what I am seeking. I would love...

Good call sleuthing out my comcast blast! I will specifically test during peak times as a test. The thing is, I always tested against my modern system and would get the 55/10 on the modern system while getting the 30/10 on the system in question. Now it's getting the 55/10 so not sure what was...

Hmm, the computer seemed to be running okay with that old 3.06GHz Xeon other than the internet speed issue. Another strange thing is that now, for reasons unknown to me, I am getting my full 55down and 10up. This may have happened after some updates to something? It had been a couple weeks...

Thank you all very much for your time and effort. I found a pair of 3.2GHz Xeons locally here in Chicago for $10. I replaced the original single 3.06GHz processor with the pair of new ones and enabled hyperthreading. Now I get a consistent 30mb down and 10mb up on speedtest.net. Hyperthreading...

I would like to consider this thread unresolved. Anyone have any input on the decision in question? This computer was free and it runs fine. I think the graphics card is going to melt itself though. I can spend $20-$30 replacing it and have computer to mess with or sell/donate as a fine web...

Quadro fx 3000 vs Quadro fx 1100. Upgrading an agp card in an xw8000 workstation. Current card is a firegl t2 128mb. The fan is not spinning and it's hot as shizznit. Still working though. The 1100 is more energy efficient and I think I can find one cheaper. I believe the architecture is...

I get a 2 second pause and then the same "C:\Documents and Settings\Admin>" prompt. Nothing seems to change. Now... the hard drives in this xw8000 are PATA.. not SATA so it may just be a hard drive speed thing. I was unable to get that utility to work as far as testing the connection without the...

This is what resulted... C:\Documents and Settings\Admin>netsh int ip reset One or more essential parameters were not entered. Verify the required parameters, and reenter them. The syntax supplied for this command is not valid. Check help for the correct sy ntax. Usage: reset [name=]<string>...

Ah ok thank you. I'm pretty sure it worked. I'm not really sure where to go from here since I am still experiencing the issue. This is older hardware on an older system, could there be compatibility issues?

Ok so I might be having trouble getting the drivers installed. At first it was telling me that the current version of Intel Network.... was unsupported for uninstall. I was able to get it to uninstall after a few tries... it kept reinstalling itself after just a few moments. The installer...

Thanks Cheez Wiz, I will try those drivers. Fardringle, you must have misread. I have no issues when plugging the same cable to a different computer. Thanks guys, will let you know how it goes.

Okay thank you for leading me in the right direction... I just happened to notice "dhcp enabled - no". I investigated dhcp and then turned it on. So I got the ports working now but still fluctuating and very slow speedtest.net results. 4-5mb/sec vs 55mb/sec download speeds when same cable...
