I have a harddrive from my early 2000s Dell which has died.
Would i be able to swap out my current HD and replace it with my old one?
Would i be able to set the old HD as a slave and retrieve data from it?
Yes, i have the necessary cables to connect the old HD to my MB.
Thanks

i just put up 2 dual screens with my second monitor being a 19" CRT and my main being a 19" widescreen. now heres the problem, when i play games and my main screen goes to full screen, is there ANY way to move the mouse cursor on the second screen without alt tabbing?

just read that. does that mean that the old S1 won't fit on a HD3870? i just bought 1 from newegg a few days ago and came in today.
how come the stock clock speeds are777/1125? aren't they 777/2400? also, the GPU temp is 50C idle. is that wrong? i've read in other forums they got lower.
say u turn aa to max in CCC, would it neccessarily be better than setting aa and af in game? would it neccessarily make cs1.6 look better and other older games? this might be a stupid question, but just wondering.
just turned on my comp for the first time today.
ASUS P5E x38
E2160
HD3870
Ballistix 2gb(2x1)
opened up core temp and got the following
L2 revision
1.325 v
core#0: 38
core#1: 38
is that normal? packaged on 10/17/07.
i plan to overclock this to about 3ghz.
the HD3870 outclasses the 8800GT in pretty much every category. why does it perform slightly slower rather than much greater than the 8800GT?
HD3870
Core clock: 775MHz
Stream Processors: 320 stream processing units
Memory Clock: 2400MHz
Memory Size: 512MB GDDR4

originally, i had planned to get a HD3870 from dell with the paypal discount, but Dell was taking so long that i canceled it and ordered it from NCIXUS where it was in stock. It was $250 after shipping. The card from NCIXUS hadn't shipped in 3 days waiting so i went and canceled that one too...
how do you tell what stepping the processor is? mine says that pack date is 10/12/07. and the heatsink, i can assume the thermal paste is already applied to the bottom of the heatsink and all i have to do is install it on top without applying anything?
thanks
i have an OLD TB santa cruz from years ago and im getting a x38 that comes with the supremefxII. how does the supremeFXII compare to decent sound cards? how does it compare as an onboard sound card?
is there really a point to get PC6400 if you aren't using the full 400 FSB on it?
take the E2160 for instance(im getting), it has a multi of 9 and fsb of 200. wouldn't 200mhz of my ram be going to waste unless i overclock?
im deciding whether to get a cheap cpu first then upgrade to penryns sooner(4-5 months)(e2140?)
OR
get a e6750 and wait longer for the penryn replacement(a year or so after)
questions
how much does the cache size really matter.(4m and 2m and 1m) between the higher and lower end...
well i'll mostly be using it to play games and listen to music. i currently have an OLD logitech 5.1 in which i dont even use the rear speakers because it is a hassle to put them behind my chair every time. so i've decided to go with 2.1 audio.
nothing too expensive. i've been looking at the...
ive been thinking it over and wanted to get a CF setup later on after the initial build. currently, im aiming for HD3870 and maybe a year or 2 down the road, CF it up and get another 3870 or better card. i am also putting in C2D into the machine so my choices for MB are limited. which should i get.
well im looking at a new build and have been eyeing the p18- antec cases for a while. just wondering what the differences are between the 2.
