Kursplat, thanks for the thought. If I were more of a texh it would be worth a shot, but I'd bungle the voltage and start a fire. Doh, thanks a million! THis is *EXACTLY* what I was looking for, and I knew someone on Anand would know where to find such a thing. I'm curious how you found this...

Hello, I want a small audio amp that will fit in a full-height drive bay (or two adjacent bays). It only has to be 10-50 watts. I don't need other audio features, because the motherboard has good audio support. I just want to drive a smallish pair of bookshelf speakers. Have you ever seen...

Hello, I want a small (10-50 watt) stereo audio amplifier that will mount in one or two ful-height drive bays of my W2K PC. If it had am/fm radio built it as well that would be great, but mostly I just want to patch in audio from the motherboard audio hardware. If you've ever seen anything...

I have a 2.53gig p4 on a gigabyte 8ihxp. It has 512mb of 1066 rdram. I want to upgrade to 2 full gigs of the FAST STUFF. Is anyone shipping actual 1066 rambus on 512mb modules? Or is the stuff you see advertised just slower rdram tested to go faster? Thanks.

Yes, the trick is to sweep a magnet powered with AC. If the power tools solution doesn't work, find a a stereo enthusiast from the 70's and ask to borrow his tape head demagnetizer. Sweep the tip back and forth over the screen and slowly pull it away from the surface (at 60hz it would be...

Hello, I want to buy a LARGE LCD, because the eyes are getting old. Resolution should be 1280 x 1024 or less... I already own a Silicon Graphics LCD that does 1600 x 1024, which is too high a resolution. A lot of fonts are unreadably small, and resetting configurations for everything is a...

Anyone running with a USB keyboard and/or mouse? The 81hxp can do this, and it will free up some IRQs, right?

I need to know if I bought the right kind of power supply for the 8ihxp. (The rdram doesn't arrive for another week, so testing is not possible.) The name is JGE A+GPB ATX P4-12V. It's a 400watt supply, costing $79. It has six conenctors that look like they'd fit on a hard drive, which is...

Thanks Bingo13. This is the first PC I've assembled. I'm really grateful for the advice and thoughts from people on Anandtech. Intel will be selling a 2.8ghz P4 soon. Will the the 8ihxp run it? Will Rambus keep up with it, or are we back at the limit?

Thanks for your help cobrasvt. All my parts are on order now except for the rdram. Does the 8ihxp use ecc or non-ecc?

Here are 8ihxp questions... What's the exact best kind of RDRAM to buy? Eventually I want to max out the 4 rambus slots to 2 gigabytes. But right now modules are only available at 128MB and 256MB, and you have to use pairs of whatever you get. So I should get 2 x 128MB, right? I'm willing...
