    i'm looking at the manual right now, but it doesn't say anything about the jumpers on the module. it identifies the pins, but doesn't say where the jumpers should be.

    Reinstalling XP

    it shouldn't be a problem. I've reinstalled windows xp pro numerous times on my machine w/o a problem. And if it doesn't go smoothly, just do what MrChad said.

    Happy w/ ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe???

    I'm also considering buying this board. Will a 400W power supply be sufficient to power this board and do other SLI boards use less power? I plan on using a A64 3000+ and 6600gt and will most likely upgrade those at a later time and wouldn't want to have to buy a new power supply at that time...

    MoBo based on a VIA K8T890 or nForce 4 chipset

    Has anyone heard of any issues with the k8t890 chipset having problems with 4 dimms? I've heard that the nforce4 will lower the speed of the RAM if there are more than 2 DDR modules running. I ask since i've already bought 4x512mb modules and planned on putting them in my new system.

    Upgrade?: 19" lcd w/ ti4200 or 17" lcd w/ new vidcard

    The ti4200 won't play games at 1280x1024, i barely get my games to run at 1024x768... i guess my question is, does it worth getting a 19" lcd over 17" lcd since you get the same native resolution.

    is it time to get 64bit?

    you also may want to consider how often you upgrade...if you're someone that upgrades their cpu or mobo every 12 to 24 months you'd be just fine with a barton. On the other hand, if you're someone that likes to stick with what they have for a while (like my parents who had a pentium 2 300mhz up...

    What to say to a psycho pro-bush woman

    You also may want to find out why we have only 19,000 troops in Afghanistan and continue a friendship with Pakistan where Osama Bin Laden is known to hide. Keep in mind, this is the man that we are going to war with other countries for to find. Yet we have nearly 100,000 troops far away in Iraq...

    can ony one tell me this..

    You're absolutely correct on this one. The best way to survive a elevator free fall is to brace yourself against an elevator wall w/ you knees slightly bent. Your knees help absorb some of the shock and you're suppose to grab on to a handrail or something to help decelerate yourself. I...

    Is it the video or the hard drive?

    is the PC producing any beeping sounds? Also, you might want to try to hear or touch the hd while the computer is on to see if it spins up or clicks. Edit: Also, try resetting the CMOS (this is usually done by jumper settings)

    Is the Nvidia Fx5200 that bad

    how does a ti4200 compare to the fx5200? I have a ti4200, and albeit didn't play at the highest frame rates or all the options turned, it was playable and not too terrible. I know a new card would do much better and would allow me to turn up all the options, but i know where to set my limits...

    R420 Benchmarks

    the site claims itself that these aren't actual stats but are "forecasts" Try using babblefish to translate it and you'll see. It also says that this is only speculative and that it was only to be posted in their forums so they wouldn't lose their credibility for posting fake material.
