    ATI driver constantly crashes...need help

    Wow, I've been having that problem with my X800XL for a good bit now! I'm glad to see it's a known issue. It does seem to have started with a driver upgrade...maybe I can find an old one... Thanks OP!

    Need external, self functional, VGA capture device

    I could rig something up on the bench probably to do splitting, but how do I get the capture onto the other PC since the VGA splitter is technically running off the PC-Appliance I have no access to? The KVM switch isn't a bad idea...that would work. Any solution other than taking photos of...

    Need external, self functional, VGA capture device

    Thank you... I found those too. The problem is that I can't have ANY software that needs to touch the originating system. I have no access to the OS layer at all -- it's a very specific Linux distribution in the form of an appliance. I was hoping I could find something that went like...

    Need external, self-functional, VGA capture device

    I have to set up some training manuals for software installers, and part of this involves working with a product that I have no access to the OS for. So I need some sort of inline, external, non-software dependent, device that I can stick into the VGA path and push a button to snap a...

    Anyone feel like speccing a PC for me?

    Thank you for the suggestions. I'm looking for a smaller case, that I can still fit a good fullsized power supply in with good air cooling. I currently have the older Antec P160 (I think), and I loved it, but it's ginormous...

    Anyone feel like speccing a PC for me?

    Have monitor, speakers, mouse, DVD-RW, keyboard, OS and wireless NIC already. Looking to spend no more than 1500. The heaviest usage it sees is gaming, but I also do graphic work/website design/media editing and need a fair bit of hard drive space with RAID 1. Smaller and stylish is good...

    BWAH!! This amuses me greatly. Having driven rush hour in Detroit for years, I can attest, speed limits are a suggestion and one that's universally ignored. Police don't pull anyone over unless there's 3 cars for backup and...yeah. That being said, I have very little problems driving in...

    A8N-SLI Nvidia raid vs silicon image raid

    no that is not correct. i finally gave up and used the silicon image controller. i tried every suggestion given here and then some, and my system just WILL NOT WORK with the nvidia controller. i think there's a conflict with my video card honestly, but i've no idea how to resolve it. i'd...

    Nforce4 RAID won't install on WinXP

    every 'how-to' i've seen says you install both, including the manual. and when you go to the disk it has a little (required) next to each of them. i'm about to scream. :-D

    Nforce4 RAID won't install on WinXP

    yeah, in order to install nvidia RAID, you have to install a raid driver and a storage controller driver. i'm baffled. i have not tried a raid 0 array. i think i'll give that a go when i get home. i really wanted RAID 1. i do a lot of work from home, and one can never have too much...

    Nforce4 RAID won't install on WinXP

    Horror story. Is my brand new A8N $2400 rig toast?

    well...if the corruption happens to be on the chipset driver, bad RAM could explain alla the failures. but i agree, it's unlikely. i had thought you were just waiting on a driver for a LAN port. boy...i hope your experience is an anomaly...my board lands tomorrow...
