    NEC AccuSync LCD7V Any Good?

    Anybody have this LCD display? I believe this is a new display from NEC. It is significantly cheaper than the 1760V or 1760NX also from NEC. How would it compare to the 1760 series? All of them have 16ms response times. Would the picture quality be almost the same? How different would the...

    A7A266 Multipliers & TBred B 1700+

    I just got a TBred B 1700+ and I'm trying to overclock it. However, the highest multiplier I can use on the A7A266 is 12.5x. So the maximum I could overclock is 2.083 GHz at 166MHz FSB. Does anybody know how to get multipliers higher than 12.5x on the A7A266? I'm using an A7A266 revision 1.03...

    AMD Axia...

    You know, with all this AXIA hype going around, AMD should name their next processor the AMD Axia... Sounds catchy, plus we are all familiar with the name! Too bad the new cores are called AYHJA...now how are you supposed to say that? =)

    Is it possible to use both connections on one computer? I know that you'd at least have to have 2 network cards installed, but would it be possible? If so, does anybody know how to setup this kind of configuration?

    Asus A7A266 w/ Multiplier Dipswitch

    I went to my local computer shop and I looked at one of the Asus A7A266 boards and it had the multiplier dipswitch. Most of the reviews online said that the board wasn't capable of manipulating the multiplier. Does this mean that boards with the dipswitches can adjust the multiplier on the...

    Poll: Better Overclockability? Infineon or Micron SDRAM?

    What do you people think is better for overclocking? Infineon or Micron PC133 SDRAM? I'm not talking about those special hand pick kinds available, but the modules you can purchase in nearby local shops. So if you were to purchase some general Infineon or Micron from a shop which would you...

    Random Windows 2000 Pro Lockups!

    After hearing all the great comments about the stability and power of Windows 2000 Pro I decided to give the OS a try. I've had good experiences with Windows Millennium Edition, so I really was curious as to how much better Windows 2000 would be. Making sure I had all the Win2K drivers for my...

    I need some help installing the Intel 815 INF drivers. When I try installing the INF drivers, the percentage indicator bar goes to 15% then kicks out all the time.

    Pioneer 16X DVD-105S CD Data Read Speed

    I have a Pioneer DVD-105S 16X slot load drive which is rated at 40X CD-ROM read speed. How come when I use Nero Burning ROM (v5.0.3.1) it detects that the Pioneer drive can only read at 5X data read speed? I have a Plextor 12/10/32A and I can select the read speed all the way up to 32X. I've...

    I've got a annoying problem with my system. Right now I'm overclocked to 966MHz and I can run games and programs just fine. But, the funny thing is that sometimes whenever I close Windows Explorer it crashes my desktop and I'd have to restore my Active Desktop! You can imagine how annoying that...
