    Gaming Build

    Just started working on a new gaming build for a friend of mine. Just wanting to see if I have any obvious compatibility flaws as I haven't looked at new parts for a while. Any general suggestions regarding part choice/value are also appreciated! Thanks in advance! :)...

    Bandwidth limiting

    I guess I should have added that it flashed through fine and everything seems to be working. It just says that "WRT54G- Error" as the browser window name. Under Status>Wireless it says Error under Radio. And under "Wireless Packet Info" it says: Transmitted (TX) 794 OK, 1865 errors Any...

    Bandwidth limiting

    Hmm, I just flashed it to v24, but it says "WRT54G- Error" as the name of the browser window. Is this a problem?

    Bandwidth limiting

    I need a way to limit bandwidth to other computers on my network, or something that prioritizes the bandwidth to my computer without setting up a proxy server on another computer. My DSL is 1.5mbps down and like 110kbps up, which is garbage, but it's all I have because I live in a small town...

    20db+ mic boost clicks itself off all the time

    Well, its weird yes but it doesn't help me out any. There has to be a way to fix this... tried reinstalling my sound card drivers, did nothing. Actually started happening after I took my computer to a friends house and brought it back.

    20db+ mic boost clicks itself off all the time

    For some reason when I'm using TeamSpeak, every now and then (completely randomly) the 20db+ microphone boost in the windows sound manager thing will just click itself off for no real reason. I don't even know until people on TS tell me that they cannot hear me anymore. While playing games I...

    Windows freezing during format

    PowerMax from Maxtor requires the use of a floppy disk drive which I don't have on this computer :-/... also I wouldn't be RMA'ing it to Maxtor I would be doing it through Newegg, probably for a refund since its within the 15 day period for OEM devices. I don't even know if these open box items...

    Quicktime Audio is staticy and cuts out after a while

    For some reason when I try to play any quicktime movie, the audio is all garbled and staticy then it cuts out after a short time. It only happens with the most recent versions of quicktime, I used a much older version and my videos seem to run fine. Anyone got any ideas? BTW, the version...

    I just built a new computer with a 250GB Maxtor SATA drive... and now its showing up in the "Safely Remove Hardware" list. Is there anyway to make it go away?

    Budget Build

    The power supply got many great reviews from NewEgg, the only one that I saw that was "Very Poor" was from someone who recieved it DOA, which happens every once in a while with all parts. Average vote out of 57 voters was a 5 out of 5...

    Build for friend

    I was also wondering if my Motherboard and RAM were compatible because I couldn't find anything on OCZ's site for the motherboard I choise. I think I might change it to an DFI LanParty nForce4 Ultra board, but I'm not sure yet. Any input would be great.

    FSP Group (Fortron Source) AX450-PN - $51 450W, is that enough? Also, I don't really know anything about the dual 12v rails, is there any difference between a normal PSU?

    directx static crosshair

    As is drawing a dot in the middle of your monitor, as is having skill, as is doing alot of things many gamers do. Giving yourself an advatange isn't against any rules unless it defies game mechanics... which this does not do. I believe people have the right to add crap to their screen if they...

    directx static crosshair

    Drawing a dot doesn't work on a CRT cause of the glass pane in front of it. You move like a half of an inch in your seat and the dot is in the wrong place lol. And it would NOT be a hack because its simple a DirectX overlay. Its not a hack to add something in the corner of your screen that tells...

    directx static crosshair

    I'm looking for something that is basically just an overlay of a crosshair that will be DirectX enabled. I know this is not illegal because its the same thing that ATI Tool uses for its overlays (such as FPS and Temp) and the same thing Xfire uses for its ingame chat. I want this for BF2 because...

    Runescape won't run because of java memory error

    Well, that program I downloaded did that for me basically. But for some reason, out of the 200mb I allocated its only finding 59mb. On my other computer which is like 3000x worse, I also allocated 200mb and it found 188mb. Somethings not allowing Java to find all the memory I have allocated to it.

I ran the test program on my gateway with 320mb of ram, and it came up with 88mb without turning up...

    Runescape won't run because of java memory error

    For all of you bashing Runescape, grow up. As far as changing the java settings when you pick quality, I've tried all of the options with no success. And as far as not having enough RAM, please check my sig and tell me that again. And diego, Runescape is just a java applet on a HTML page, so...
