    Please help! Problems installing WinXP Pro

    Do you mean i should install the drivers to a blank HDD? Because i don't have a working hdd with winXP as of right now (not a raptor anyway, the slow mo IDE are working fine) Do you think my Sata is messed up, or it is the Sata and the MB don't like talking to each other

    Please help! Problems installing WinXP Pro

    I?m hoping someone on here can help me with my problem, because I?m at my wits end. I have tried everything I can think of, and have not found a solution so far. When I try to install WinXP Pro from an OEM disk onto my Raptor drive, it starts the install, goes through the formatting of the...

    I just got the Kill A Watt and it looks ok. I plugged in my room fan, for 26 hours, and it started out at 0.19KWh and 110volts up to 1.4KWh and 115volts. Is that normal? I understand i might have to work a little bit harder during the middle of the day because of the heat and such, but this is 6...

    Which video card?

    theman, sorry, i wasn't clear about that. I didn't mean to say that it will not work, i just mean to say they will not support it. EA support sucks anyway, and they are not shy about blaming something that doesn't work on system specs. And i certainly wouldn't recommend playing BF2 on a...

    Which video card?

    If you want to play Half-Life 2 and later on maybe BF2, i would highly recommend you go with 6800GT and nothing lower. You might be able to run HL2 on the 6600 but BF2 is very strict, and Epic has not a lot of support for lower cards. They told my buddy to upgrade his 5700LE or they...

    Dell Repair/ Install Disk Question!

    We currently have a couple (about 17) dell OptiPlex desktops in use. I seem to have lost a couple of the install CD?s that came with the system.
