    NVIDIA Firewall blocks DHCP?

    I have an Asus A8N-E which uses a nForce4 chipset, so I have NVIDIA Firewall installed along with XP (32-bit) with SP2. The thing is, if I use any (Anti-Hacking, Low, Med, High) of the NVIDIA Firewall options, I can't get an IP address from my router. If I turn off the NVIDIA Firewall though, I...

    Enclosure Chipsets?

    http://www.dealsonic.com/stpmalidetou.html http://www.dealsonic.com/stpmsismbaco.html Looking at the above enclosures. As far as Firewire, Oxford 911 should be best? "Delayed Write Failure" stuff can be fixed with new drivers/firmware, right? As far as USB 2.0, Cypress are best? I've...

    Big Hardware Upgrade in XP

    Hey, I'm helping my gf upgrade her computer from a P3 450 or something to a P4 system. The only thing that's staying in the computer from its present state are the drives. I've had problems doing such changes in the past where I pretty much need to reinstall the OS. Is there anyway to avoid all...

    Two Controller Cards Not Allowed?

    Ok, I have 4 hard drives now and a CD-Rom drive, and I like having everything on its own channel. Prior to getting my most recent HDD (the 200 GB Dell HDD), I had 2 Maxtor HDDs on a Maxtor ATA133 Controller Card, my primary HDD connected to Primary on the MB, and my CD-RW on the Secondary for...

    1.8 as 2.4?

    I couldn't find a post about this, but I remember reading that you could bridge the first two pins or something on a 1.8A to make it boot up as a 2.4B or something? Could someone verify or explain this to me? Messing around w/ a gBox for my friend, and it won't let me get DDR 333 unless its a B...

    IE Old Pages

    You know how when you submit data on a page and sometimes when you go back it'll be that "Warning: Page has Expired" page? I'm pretty sure that its possible to make it load a cached copy of it or something so it'll show what what previously there, but I don't know how to set it. It seems to come...

    Here's the situation. I live in a college dorm that has two Ethernet ports (meant for two people). However, my roommate is moving out (through no fault of mine). Now I want everything to go faster, so now that I'll have two Ethernet ports at my disposal (each at 10 Mbps), is there any way I...

    Minimizing Virtual Mem Use w/ W2k?

    I was wondering if there was anyway to virtually eliminate the use of VM in W2K. I have a gig of RAM so I have no need for the use of VM. All it does is make my computer run a little bit slower than the max it can run at... I've tried stuff like Disabling the Pagign Executive, minimizing the...

    Is it the video card?

    http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4129965 I bought it retail. Everything reports it as a Ti4600... I can't locate the rpboelm. 3DMarks runs fine at 120 FSB... Prime dies after anywhere between 4 and 31 minutes... I figure I have a junk OC chip... SiSandra has it acting as a 2.6 GHz...
