    CD RW Drive Questions

    Does a CD ROM Drive originally have 2048kb of cache? I used DVD Info to check out my CD RW drive info, and instead of 2000kb it has 2048kb, I understand that is how the bits and bytes work, but....was just wondering... How does a CD RW Drives Cache work? Is it like CPU cache? Does it store...

    Computer Problems - Bad luck. HELP Please!

    It very well could be the processor, but the funny thing is, I can run Counter-Strike Source forever without my computer freezing up. If I am out of that game my computer freezes randomly. I checked the PSU rails, ran the memtest, ran Western Digital Lifeguard (0 bad sectors), reflashed BIOS...

    Computer Problems - Bad luck. HELP Please!

    I ran both Memtest 86+ and Prime95. Both had 0 errors. Memtest was 42 passes/0 errors. I have also been experiencing some slight freeze ups during POST, so I am pretty sure it is my motherboard.

    Computer Problems - Bad luck. HELP Please!

    1013 is the latest BIOS, yes. I have everything at stock speeds as well. And I don't believe downgrading would do anything because I had 1013 for about 2 weeks and my PC was running fine. I will try the memtest thing once I find a floppy though.

    Which PSU under $100 should I buy for an SLI setup?

    No. I have a 6800 Ultra and I stepped up with eVGA to a 7800 GTX for like $150, and I am waiting for a bit until the price goes down to buy a second one; I only have enough to get a Power Supply $100-110 (I bought the OCZ Powerstream 520W btw). I wanted to get a power supply that would handle...

    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    You can't run them in dual if you are using all four slots :/. The problem may be one of those 256MB sticks, obviously. Just don't bother shoving those two sticks in there. If you want more RAM, sell those two on Ebay and get 2x1GB :P.

    Server build for small business

    Obviously you will want SCSI since people will be running apps off of the server. However much space you need is up to you. I really don't know whether AMD or Intel should be used, but You may want to go with the new 64 Bit Opterons and a TYAN Motherboard....other that that I am not too...

    Which PSU under $100 should I buy for an SLI setup?

    Ok. Back again, lol. I don't really want to upgrade my power supply for any reason within the next 2 years. Would the OCZ Powerstream 520W run 2x7800 GTXx, 3 HDDs, a Sound Card, CD Drive, 3500+ CPU, etc. just fine? I was thinking about cancelling my Modstream and getting the PS.

    Which PSU under $100 should I buy for an SLI setup?

    I figure I won't go SLI for a while, and I need a new PSU anyway because my other Antec one went out. I want to wait for the 7800 GTXs to go down, and also wait until my gaming performance decreases to upgrade to SLI. If I go SLI will want to get a PSU with a lot of Wattage. I'd most likely...

    Which PSU under $100 should I buy for an SLI setup?

    lol. Is 28A really high then?(for being in one rail I mean) I shouldn't have any problem with fires...haha. *Hope not*. I picked the Modstream because of the cable design and the color scheme. I should be fine with this PSU though. Thank you for all your help guys. These forums never fail...

    Which PSU under $100 should I buy for an SLI setup?

    Yea. I just ordered the OCZ Modstream 520W(28A/1x12V Rail). I got that 34A requirement off of google somewhere. I am not sure if it is true. The only thing I don't like about the Modstream is that it is not "true" ATX 2.0..... It only has 1 12V rail, will that kill me a lot? I got it from...

    Which PSU under $100 should I buy for an SLI setup?

    I will probably go with the OCZ PS 520W, but if nVidia requires a 34A 12v rail, and this one only has 33A; will that matter? Also, I like the way the Modstream looks and the modding capabilites it has, lol. hmmmmm The blue and silver scheme matches my case and fans well...lol

    Which PSU under $100 should I buy for an SLI setup?

    I really wanted to stick with OCZ; Antec has given me trouble in the past. The required amount for amp on the +12V rail is supposed to be 34A for an SLI setup of 2x7800 GTXs. I really don't know where to go from here. I wanted to order it tonight, but it looks like I will have to research more.

    Which PSU under $100 should I buy for an SLI setup?

    Hello, I am looking for a good Power Supply to buy for an SLI setup of two 7800 GTXs. The min. requirement is 500W, and I was looking at the OCZ Modstream 520W or the Powerstream(Over $100). Would it be bad to just be barely over Nvidia's requirements? Thank you for your help. Killasta
