    Undetected virus driving me crazy

    My system got infected by a series of spyware and viruses last night. I proceeded to go in safe mode and run a bunch of scanners/spyware removal programs (including vx2 scan with adaware), and it did remove quite alot, but some problems still occur.. For example, as I am typing this...

    Civilization 4 problems

    It's video lag. I don't play MP mode Civ 4 is known for having very laggy gameplay due to bugs/bad coding/etc.. They know about it.

    My thoughts on the Soltek 85ERV (p4x400)

    So I got my motherboard this week... first my overclocking experience has been average at best. I was only able to get 148 FSB (2.65 ghz) on my 2.4b. I know the problem wasn't the RAM, because I know the stick I am using can do much more. Even bumping the vcore wouldn't help me get 149. At 149...

    would running my monitor @ a non-supported refresh rate damage it?

    Motherboard not reporting ram size correctly?

    My motherboard and windows report that my 512mb Samsung pc2700 stick is 256mb, why is that? I'm sure it's a 512mb stick. It says Bank 1 is used but not Bank 2... this is on a Soltek p4x400 board any ideas?
