    Determining the type of Heatware feedback

    Hello, I'm not sure this should be in Off Topic, but I saw similar questions of this nature in this forum, so I put it here. I recently bought some RAM on the FS/FT board. It's this RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231145 Here's a summary: I asked the seller if...

    Multiple file storage

    I didn't know where to put this, and I guess this is the closest match. Is there anyway to collect files into one file (before you start typing, I'm not talking about zip/rar/etc compression) so that all of the files can still be accessed by programs as if all the files were not within a...

    Windows 2000 crash

    Complete crash requiring hard reboot. I have a few hard drives (all NTFS), and run a dual boot with XP and 2k. However, when running just 2k (before I reinstalled XP after not using it for years) it still had the same problem sometimes. The crash does not happen in orthos or video card...

    AMD/IBM 65nm SiGe

    I was looking around and noticed that I missed this. I checked DT and didn't see that they posted any articles or news about it. Anyway, good to see that they are finally getting somewhere with that; it was such a long time ago that they had mentioned it.

    Odd temperatures

    All right, I am just going to post this to get some opinions. I assume the board I have has a messed up sensor; it reads as 46C at post for my 165 opty. It sometimes randomly goes down to 38C or up a little from the POST to 51 52. Using Core Temp, I see that my cores are at 31/31C at...

    Refresh Rates with X800 Pro

    I just switched to an x800 pro from a ti4600, and I have one problem. On the ti4600, when I set all the refresh rates in registry, it would run anything within the bandwidth of the monitor as long as it was a standard refresh rate (60 75 85 100 120 140 150, etc). So I try this with the...

    Computer does not power on

    Odd problem which I have not really encountered before. I just bought the mobo from FS FT, and it does not turn on. PSU does start and obviously none of the fans start spinning up. I've disconnected everything but one stick of ram, the psu, and the vga. Nothing so far. I just doubt that...

    Storage technology

    I don't even know how to word this to get the kind of replies I am interested in. I was trying to google this to find out more information and couldn't come up with a good way to search for it. From hard drives to OS, what is the process? How does the data stored in the magnetic fields on...

    A8N32-SLI and 20 pin PSU's

    Before I decide to buy this mobo I want to know some stuff, so any help is appreciated. 1. First off, it is supposed to work with 20pin PSU's, right? 2. As far as SLI (I doubt I'd ever use this), it should still work using the "EZ Plug," right? 3. The 4 extra pins for ATX12V 2.2 are...

    HDD issues

    My sister told me her computer no longer worked, and I figured it was the hard drive. She brought the hard drive to me, and now the goal is to just get some files off it. Now, I generally have no problems getting any files or restoring file systems, but windows won't pick up the drive. It's...

    Tomorrow I am going out to check out 5 of these monitors. All are priced at 109 each and supposedly in grade A condition. Anyone with this monitor know the signs of aging for it? I'm going to be checking the brightness/contrast settings to see if they are at the extremes. If they'll let...

    Taxable, non-taxable, and the IRS

    Hard drive imaging

    I was asked to find a program for a small oem computer seller. He is looking for a program to create recovery cds, so all the user has to do is put one in at bootup and feed the computer cds until it is back to the way it was when it was sent out. I've found a couple, but I am curious to see...

    Deathstar

    I've had hard drives die in the past, but they always give a death rattle when the time is getting close (at least a week or two before they die). Of course, this is a 40GB deskstar, and I am well aware of the series' reputation. Here's what's going on: It was working properly, just pulled it...

    ICS of a VPN connection.

    What would you suggest?

    A friend of mine wants to get a new video card (very, very bad handling of his 9500 pro has made is almost incapable of 3d rendering). The big question for him to decide on is does he want to spring for 300$ for a GT (I can get this card from a wholesaler), or does he want to spend 150-200...

    Hard Drive Imaging

    I am looking for a linux os that boots off a cd or even a floppy that will create an image of a hard drive. I have norton ghost somewhere, but I'm looking for something similar through linux (or even a nice freeware program that does the same -- bootable, not through an OS). If you know of...

    Hotplug SCSI

    Before I buy one of these drives I want to make sure that Win2k supports it (I am not going to be swapping it in and out while the system is running, it just happens that I am looking a scsi drive that is hotplug). Is there anything special, or do I just connect it using a non-terminated...

    OS boot managers for floppies

    The last time I had mandrake on this computer I wanted to I wanted to create a floppy with LILO on it. There was a tool for doing that somewhere in mandrake I think, but it always gave me an error when I tried to run it. Are the any boot managers you can download for a floppy. I would assume...

    3500 overclocking

    It has been a long time since I posted on here, but I was wondering if anyone has bought a 3500 yet. If so, how well have they overclocked? I know I read somewhere that the multiplier is unlocked on the 939 53, but I have not seen anything about the 3500. I am planning on building at the end...

    Memory Bandwidth and A64

    Does anyone know whether the A64 and FX are going to be similar to the XP's in that they gain very little in pushing the FSB and memory clocks higher. The XP was nowhere near as memory bandwidth hungry as the pentium. (if i remember right, at default fsb and 2100DDR, the xp used between...

    CAT6

    just a quick question. Is CAT6 completely compatible with basic 10/100 networking (NICs, routers, switches) or do you need specific hardware. Also, do I need a different crimp and special CAT6 heads? I have not done any research on the CAT6 inner workings, so feel free to leave me a link with...

    2.4C P4 setup

    I was thinking about trying my luck at building a 2.4C pentium to replace my aging 1600@2200 AGOIA and to go with a new vid card. Of course I am going to overclock. I was wondering if there is a specific stepping or revision that I should look for aside from the fact that it is an 800 mhz fsb...

    Which linux distro for turning a pc into a router.

    Wintec memory?

    Can Win2k access Ext3 or Reiser? Linux and nvidia problem

    Right now I am using Ext3, and I want to know whether there is a driver for Win2k to be able to read and write to Ext3. If not, what about Reiser?

    Buy a 2100 now or after Barton?

    Should I wait for the prices to go down after barton comes into full swing, or should I get one now so I could get a 0248-51?

    PCI Mode on my GF4

    nero cannot detect a burner.

    When nero first starts up it scans the ide and scsi channels. It detects no burners and defaults to its own virtual burner or whatever it is. XP Pro detects the burner as a CD-R/RW. One thing I can think of as a solution (I will be going back to work on it on monday) is to change it to the...

It allows 3.0-12.5 for lower clacked tbreds and 12.5-24 for higher clocked tbreds. At least with my rev of the BIOS. Also, I was posting questions about...
