    Cooler Master RS-850-EMBA (MODULAR)

    As I understand it, the "M" in RS-850-EMBA implies Modular. If that's the case, why are all the links I'm finding showing this PSU to be standard rather than modular? CAN ANYONE please help me find this power supply for a good price on the net? If I can't find it I'm going to be forced to...

    SD Media Drivers?

    A few years ago I purchased a Panasonic Digital Camcorder that came with an SD Memory USB Reader. It's a Panasonic Model # BN-SDCAAE. I have been able to insert SD Media Sticks in it and read the media in all types up to 512 MB. I have not tried 1GB sticks, but I know for sure that it does...

    Cartoonizing Photos

    :confused: Well, before I start I would like to say that I have looked all over for a good tutorial on how to "cartoonize" a photo but it has been to no avail. It seems like this is just one effect that no one wants to share some knowledge on. I have Corel Paint Shop Pro X...is it possible...

    OCZ RAM

    Well...I didn't know where else to stick this post so b/c the ram goes into the mobo I thought this would be the best place. About 3 months ago or maybe slightly more I purchased 2X1GB sticks of OCZ Dual Channel Platinum PC3200 DDR for my setup below. At the time they were offering I think a...

    Explain This Concept Briefly

    I'm pretty sure I have the right idea behind this concept of mounting. Can anyone briefly explain it to me though? I would really appreciate that. I'm not talking about game image websites here (which would be illegal to talk about on this forum), I'm talking about the concept of mounting, how...

    HDD Refusing To Give Me My Space Back

    Well, this is definitely the most interesting (and absolutely annoying/frustrating) thing I've seen on the PC. My system specs are in my sig...and this was a clean XP install. I have updated everything. My HDD is the only dated thing in this box but that doesn't mean it should be acting this...

    Questions on a reformat and the mbr

    Well, I'm about to stick this one hd in another computer. I remember a long time ago I did that and the computer would refuse to work because (I guess) that master boot record was configured with the previous hardware configuration and putting the hdd in a new cpu/mobo/ram environment would...

    HDD Choice

    Well, I'm pretty much done with this new system. My next few missions will be quieting the beast that is the Tsunami, and also finding a good hard drive. Please see the setup I'm referring to in my signature. With the Ultra-D, can I run a SATAII HD? In simple terms, what is the difference now...

    DFI & ATI?

    Does anyone know if DFI will make a LANParty or something with ATI's Crossfire mobo for A64 939? I am curious to know. I really like both gfx card companies but w/ the rumors of a better video card from ATI coming I'm starting to wonder if DFI will reproduce the magic of the LANParty Ultra-D &...

    More DFI Boards?

    Well, I did do a search on this, both in these forums and those of DFI-Street. I even emailed DFI and received an absolutely stupid "I'm too stupid and lazy to answer your question...you go do the work" answer. I was wondering if anyone can simply lay out the basic differences between these...

    Performance Increase From New Card On Old System

    I'm almost done building a new system...waiting for a dual processor AMD choice for now (either 4400+ or 4800+). I have this older system that I will still be using as it still works great. It's a P3 Tualatin 1.4S and it's fitted with an old V5 5500 gfx card. To be honest, this computer works...

    RAM Options On High End AMD System

    Sup yall, I don't know what sub-forum to post this in so I thought I might as well use this post. Interesting that there is no RAM sub-forum. I'm pretty sure I'll either be going w/ a A64 4000+ or an FX-55. I would like to know which RAM is better: 2X1024MB OCZ Dual Channel PC3200 EL...

    Processor Choice (AMD)

    Hello, I have been an avid Intel supporter ever since my first computer. I am now looking to purchase a new processor/mobo/ram/gpu setup and feel that AMD is the choice for me (both companies are great but AMD is what works for me right now). My first question is...is it worth spending the...

    Hello and God Bless. I recently bought a new case and the parts being placed in it were coming from my other case. To make everything easy, I obviously removed all of the cables from everything and put them into the new case as if I was assembling a new system. When everything was back up and...

    BTX Format: Wait? Or Forget It?

    First and foremost, Merry Christmas and may God Bless you all. I'm sure this question overlaps w/ several of the sub-forums but I think this is the most proper place for it. From what I read, it looks like Intel is looking to switch to a BTX form factor. This basically means that we (the...
