    Ok, so I downloaded speedfan, and it's up and running fine in Vista Ultimate. I just got an Opteron 170 to go with my good old Epox 9NPA+. I'm using an OCZ Modstream 520 watt psu, X1900XT 512 video card and 1.5GB RAM. Standard setup. All of my voltages look great... except for my 3.3. It is...

    Athlon 64 questions

    Ok, here is the scoop. I bought my new Athlon 64 3200+ and a gigabyte K8VNXP motherboard. Installed it all with a brand new 530 watt Fortron PSU and a stick of 512 MB Kingston pc2700 value RAM. Ran great! Bumped the FSB up to 206, dead stable. A week later, my new stick of 512 MB OCZ performance...

    Interesting problem after changing CPU... Ideas?

    I purchased a Tbred 2600 from a fellow anandtech member. I put it into my A7V8X deluxe (which has been running my XP1700 for over a year with no problems...) and flicked it on. It made it through post, started booting into windows, and then... my hard disk powered down! It then powered back on...

    Radeon 9500 questions... HELP!

    I have what I think is a Radeon 9500 non-pro. The reason I say this is because the maunfacturer's label says Radeon 9500, but the label put on the card by the reseller says 9500 pro. So, on with the questions! 1. Is there a definitive way to tell which card this is? It shows up under winXP as a...

    Help finding a DVI-D to VGA adapter... do they exist?

    Greetings! I'm trying to track down a DVI-D to 15 pin VGA adapter. Not to be confused with the DVI-I to VGA, which is the common one that comes with most video cards. I was told by a local shop that these do not exist, and it is a completely different type of signal. Do any of you know anything...

    A great joke for Y'all!! :)

    A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious, and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing...
