    X1650 pro AGP

    Did you make sure that the card has the 4 pin power connected? Also 250 W is really low for this system.

    Gaming, graphics help

    try uninstalling the 8.7 driver and rollback to the previous version. Also I remember reading somewhere that bioshock or some game would mess up the DX9 or 10 because it would load DX 9 and remove DX10 or something along those lines. Not too sure but you could look into that. hope that helps a...

    Looking for Intel board with SLI suggestions

    I think Intel motherboards don't support SLI unless you go with a Nvidia mobo such as the 780i. Skulltrail i think might have sli capabilities but I'm pretty sure its not a good fit for the rig your looking at building. I say Nvidia 780i mobo should do u well. I'm not sure about the PCI slots...

    new computer isn't starting...

    If you have your motherboard book, it has a chart with BIOS beep codes. That might help you figure out what those beeps mean. Also try using only one stick of RAM, in different slots. hope that helps a little

    Bizarre overheating(??) problem

    if its not a OS power saving problem, try removing any dust from the case, make sure the heatsink is seated properly, and if theres alot of cable clutter clean it up. the heatsink could be great, but if its not completely in contact with the CPU then its useless. It could be your powersupply is...

    Confused about later PCI standards

    Im pretty sure that you cant. because PCI and PCIe are different expansion slots. PCIe was made to incorporate the best features between PCI and AGP and increase bandwidth for faster expansion cards. If you want a good PCIe RAID controller if your willing to spend 100 dollars more, Adaptec and...

    Performance machine need input for RAID controller..

    Oh btw, the SSD's are mainly for the OS and A few programs but we will be getting a couple 1 TB drives in the near future for mass storage. We have a couple thousand collars overhead to spend on extra parts that we might want to replace or add on. Another reason for Quad Sli is the we want the...

    Performance machine need input for RAID controller..

    yeah I am pretty pissed about missing out on gtx 280 and its not so much of a problem for the person who is getting the machine. this is more of a fun build more than anything else. The use of Solidworks is going to be mild if not low and its more for show. I use solidworks in school and have it...
