I'm thinking about upgrading my v-card to a x800XL. I play mostly FPS and strategy games, and sometimes some flight sims once in a blue moon.
My mobo is 8x AGP and I don't want to move to PCI-e and spend $$$ on mobo/cpu/v-card upgrades, so I was thinking a x800XL agp card would be nice for...
Hi. I'm pissed off... the rig I built for my friend uses a P4 LGA775 540 3.4Ghz processor.
I originally installed on an ABIT mobo but had to re-seat the CPU after 1st contact. In doing so, I kind of ripped the thermal pad, but I figured since it's made of wax it should theoretically melt back...
Hi, I just built a new rig. Every time I turn it on, it gets into this loop where it automatically reboots every 5 seconds. The only way to shut it down from there is to manually pull the plug or hold down the power button while it's on within those 5 seconds.
It doesn't even get far enough...
I'm building a RAID 1 array for someone using two 74GB raptors.
In an attempt to build the most stable RAID configuration as possible for these drives, any advice on whether I should be looking for a mobo w/ on-board RAID controllers built in, or should I be looking to get a mobo and a RAID...
I'm just starting to get into DVD burning and learned the importance of buying high-quality DVDs to ensure the best chances of quality playback while minimizing the chances of getting "coasters" in a spindle.
Regarding playback of a newly-burned DVD (for testing purposes), will there be...
My sister has an old Compaq Presario 7360 that broke a while ago and she needs a PC for work. All she needs to do is some word processing and get on the internet. No need for her to get a whole new system for that.
I think the problem is 1 of 2 things... either the HD is shot or the onboard...
Hey guys. I'm giving a friend advice on upgrading some parts in his machine, but he doesn't have enough money to do too much upgrading.
He currently has a P4 2.0GHz (400FSB) CPU, 512MB of Rambus RDRAM, and an Intel 850 mobo built into a Dell machine.
It's gonna cost him so much money to...
Some wierd shiznit is happening with explorer... there a few sites I have in favorites that when I select them, it takes me to a different site instead. But if I go and select that favorite once more, it takes me to the apropriate site it is supposed to.
For example:
1) Selecting the GameSpot...
Has anyone used both of Logitech's mmx700 & 900 wireless mice by any chance?
If so, is the 900 so much better that it's worth the $80.00 (USD) hike-up?
Is it possible to take out my current Intel mobo and install a new (Asus or ABIT) mobo without having to re-install Windows XP from scratch?
I know the 1st thing you're supposed to do when you install XP for the fist time is install the BIOS for your mobo on fist boot-up. You're supposed to do...
1) Two machines: 1 Mac and 1 PC
2) One Monitor
3) A KVM Switchbox that will handle Bluetooth compatibility
4) A Bluetooth wireless (rechargeable) mouse, & keyboard with buttons that can control the KVM switching
Man I wish it were possible. Life would be so much easier for me (and I could free...
I've had this new PC for about 2 months now. I had some issues with it in the beginning, but troubleshooting usually led to RAM timings. I believe I slowed my RAM timings down to stable operating speeds (2-3-2-7).
But now I'm having some wierd video issues:
1) Once in a while my screen will...
I have a D875PBZ mobo with 1 GB (2x512) Mushkin PC3500 Level 2 DDR.
I believe I need to up my RAM voltage to 2.65v, but I can't seem to find how to do it. I looked in my BIOS and I don't see any settings to change in there.
What am I missing here?
Anyone, please help me! I'm having this problem where my PC won't reboot automatically when selecting "restart" from Windows XP. It will shut down, but it never boots back up... I have to manually press the reset button on the case for it to finally reboot.
Here is a description of the problem...

I just built a new rig 3 days ago and I had major freakin' issues getting XP Pro to install. After countless hours of attempts, I finally succeeded installing XP without bluescreening today.
Now That I have XP installed, at first it ran great. I was able to configure a Network place and get on...
I have five 80mm CoolerMaster TLF-R82 LED case fans. 1 of them lights up and stays constant while blowing at top speed. 2 of them light up but pulsate and seem to be blowing only at about 1/2 speed. The remaining 2 don't light up at all and only seem to be blowing at the lowest possible speed...
Any ideas? I'm looking for a fairly new mobo that will handle a 2.4c right now, and then will handle a 2.8c or 3.0c later on with ease.
Any recommendations?
I'm building a new system and I have one of 2 choices to work within my budget:
1) Either I buy a P4 3.0c and get a single Western Digital 80GB HD (8MB) 7,200RPM IDE
or
2) I can get a P4 2.8c and use the saved $100+ to buy an additional Western Digital 36GB SATA HD @ 10,000RPM.
Any suggestions?
So here's my situation:
I'm buying a new P4 3.0c soon and I'm mounting a nice n' noisy 92mm Tornado on top of an SLK-900U HS. At top speed, a Tornado will move 113 cfm.
I also will have 5 80mm case fans that move 39 cfm each, and 2 PSU fans as well. Two 80mm fans will be used for front intake...
With the new 64-bit Prescott coming out, do you guys think Intel will discontinue the development of 32-bit chips completely?
If so, I'm not gonna even bother buying a socket 478 compatible water cooling solution like I had planned. I'll probably buy an SLK-900U w/ Fan instead.
I'm buying a P4 2.8 (800 FSB) and I want to overclock the hell out of it. I'm buying an EXOS liquid cooling unit to keep the CPU temps low. I'm also getting an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe mobo.
What is the best RAM for excessively overclocking this system? I only want to spend about $320-ish dollars or...
I'm going to buy a 2.8 P4 processor and it comes with HS and stock fan.
I want to replace the fan with a better one.
I do not care about noise levels at all... only airflow. In a perfect world, I'd have a Pratt & Whitney jet intake mounted on top of my HS.
Can anyone recommend the most...
Is it as good as the reviews are saying it is? I've heard nothing but good feedback on it so far.
Has anyone heard any negative comments regarding it's cooling capabilities?
Hope I'm posting this in the correct forum section. If not, I apologize.
Anywho... I'm looking to buy a new PC this fall (October-November). I want a nice n' fast machine, but I don't necessarilry want to spend top dollar for the latest and greatest technology. For example, rather than forking...
