    4x512 or 2x1024?

    OK, before anyone even thinks of flaming here, just hold on for a few sentences. I build all my own systems, however at work we are looking at ordering a workstation, and quite frankly, I don?t want to be the one supporting it. Everyone bags on Dell, however I feel for a workplace environment...

    XP Crashes / reboots by itself

    Hello, After building my system a few months ago, I was amazed to have it run stably right off the bat. No crashes, errors, or funny stuff. I switched from a stick of 512 generic samsung PC320 to 2GB of OCZ performance ram, and things seemed to change. Things "seemed" stable but now I'm...

    Setpoint application-specific settings...

    After using a MS intellimouse explorer for 3 years, I switched to a MX1000. I had been using application-specific settings for ever, and now setpoint doesn't include them. I find this really frustrating and dissapointing, as I really can't live without them. The mouse is very comfortable and...

    How do I create one MP3 file

    A few years ago when I was still a DJ I made several mixes. I then broke them up into tracks and burned them, but I kept the original wav tracks. Now, as I only listen to my mp3 player, I want to make full mixes - that is to say an mp3 that is the full length of the mix. I remember seeing...

    Seagate RMA

    Well, I just have to vent. I buy a 200GB SATA that had boatloads of bad sectors, I loose hours repairing damage from major crashes and corrupt files because of it, I wait 2 weeks for a replacement, and it's refurbished??? OK, sure, there's probably nothing wrong with it (I have yet to...

    Seagate RMA

    I'm a bit pissed off that my new 200GB SATA has got some bad sectors right off the bat. I've contacted seagate but I haven't heard anything back yet. I also have a 160GB SATA with no problems at all. Anyone have experience with their RMA process? How long did it take in total? Do they...

    Internal fan connectors...?

    After installing the ATI Silencer 4 for my X800 I realized that it still makes a horrible clicking noise when running less than 100%. I want to buy a fan controller for it and my other fans, but the connector on the end is smaller than the standard 3-pin fan connector. I'd prefer not to hack...

    ATI X800Pro fan controler noise...?

    I bought a powercolor X800Pro VIVO and quickly learned that the stock fan is a POS. At 100% it sounded like a jet was about to fly out of my box. At anything lower than that, it produced a weird kind of really fast repeating ticking sound, that would change a little bit at different fan speeds...

    Any Asus 6800GE Owners out there?

    I've searched and searched but never really found any one write it out - can someone tell me if this Asus hybrid card makes alot of noise? I know that you can control the fan speed with their software, but I imagine that if you OC is and unlock a few pipes, it's going to generate as much heat...

    Seagate / Hitachi SATA drives...

    I'm looking at either the 160 / 250 GB Hitachi SATA drives, or the 200GB Seagate SATA. I've read several reviews claiming that idle noise with the Seagate is REALLY low, however there is a serious grinding sound with accessing - like in drives from 5 years ago. Any thoughts? I'm looking for...

    Question for a DFI Lanparty UT NF3 Owner-to-be

    Just a quick question... I've got a DFI Lanparty UT NF3 on the way, and I'm going to be buying the rest of my stuff tomorrow... I'm wondering if any current owners can tell me if I will need to load the drivers for my SATA drives from a diskette while installing for the first XP with SP2...

    Dual Channel for 754? 2GB CAS2 vs CAS3?

    Basically, I am looking to build a system from scratch (to add to my current Dell laptop), and I'm NOT going to wait for NF4, as tempting as it is - instead I'll go with a 754 base, the idea being I'll save a bit of cash, and from what I've read the advantage of 939 isn't really worth the extra...
