Intstalled Vista 64-bit Ultimate yesterday and am having some interesting issues with Windows update. Basically, 18 or so of the "critical" updates failed to install. There is, apparently, no way for me to request Windows update to attempt to reinstall the "failed" patches nor do they show up...
Anyone have any links to relevant documents/sites that might more easily explain the difference between Vista 32-bit and 64-bit?
I'm trying to explain this to my Dad who wants to purchase a new computer and all I can find is stuff from 2006/early 2007 complaining (amongst other things) about...
Did a search in this forum for "backlit" and "illuminated" but didn't find much. Any good suggestions for backlit keyboards? I find that I like to play games in low light conditions but really have trouble seeing the keyboard.
The Logitech G15 looks like it might be overkill for me and...
I couldn't get the page to load in Firefox or IE. I then cleared my cache in both and could access the main page but cannot seem to get the search function on newegg.com or the secure ordering system to work. Anyone having similar problems?
Anyone run this router and have the latest firmware? There appear to be ZERO firmware downloads available on their web or ftp sites. Just curious if upgrades even exist anymore.
Appears my 2001fp is stuck in power saver mode every time that I boot up. Nothing is displayed on the screen and when I hit the menu button it tells me that the LCD is in power saver mode and that I just need to move the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard to bring it back to life...
Was having an issue with Windows periodically "losing" my second video card and thus disabling SLI. I'm afraid it might be related to the following issue and am not sure exactly how to solve this. I've looked quite a bit and cannot find anyone else with the same issue.
When I run World of...
My A8N-SLI Deluxe fan is dying (surprise, surprise) and making an annoying racket. I want to just unplug the damn thing until my passive cooler arrives in the mail. What temp is too hot? It's like 37C right now with the fan running between 1-2k rpms.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
Running my SLI setup just fine until Windows loses my second video card on reboot. Nothing was moved, pulled, etc.
Any ideas how this could happen? Nothing was touched.
Running two BFG 6800GTs on my A8N-SLI Deluxe board. Running the cards in SLI fine for a month or more now. Unplug the cards to "service" the POS fan on the chipset and when I plug them back in SLI is detected and all is fine.
As soon as I reboot, however, Windows loses my second card and...
Trying to get my SLI setup to reliably cooperater with World of Warcraft. Get random crashes, can't alt-tab, etc. It was suggested that I need to change the SLI rendering mode but with Coolbits and the 71.89 drivers I can't figure out how to do that.
Suggestions?
i.e. with modern drive technology this is no longer required, correct? I ask as the moving company just told me to make sure I did it but that doesn't sound correct.
Any info would be much obliged.
Will be running on A8N-SLI board. In essence, I'm looking for a very fast boot drive to store OS, games, throw away apps, etc., while maintaining a RAID 1 array for long term data storage.
This sound like a good setup? Anything I might be missing/overlooking? Haven't kept as up to speed on...
Suggestions? This will be my first laptop purchase so I'm curious where others tend to purchase their IBM laptops. Thanks for any help you can give me as I plan to purchase within the next month or so.
Trying to get this Latitude D600 laptop with Truemobile 1300 mini PCI card setup on my fiance's wireless network. She's running the above router with latest firmware revision. Updated driver fir Truemobile card to latest as well.
Essentially, the laptop can see the network ok but cannot...
And yes, we do need a digital camera forum :)

Yep, still running the old faithful 1.6 Northy on my P4B533-V at 150FSB with 1 512MB DIMM of Corsair PC3200 CAS 2. I know it is time for an upgrade but hey, I have to buy a new house first ;)
That being said, can I get away with adding a 2nd 512MB DIMM and keep the O'C? I wouldn't...
Broke down and bought a multimeter so I could test what Asus Probe was telling me:
12V - 10.8V or so volts
5V - 4.2V (!!) or so
3V - 3.4V
(All tested at the board connectors)
Just to check, is there anything I'm missing here? Nothing changed in the config... power supply just doesn't appear...

Saw this when browsing over at Newegg. I'm replacing my GF3 original (selling it to my sister). What's the catch here? Anyone own one of these cards? $239 + free shipping... sounds too good to be true.
My Vcore is set on 1.675 right now on my P4B533-V. The voltage reported under Asus Probe, however, under SETI and/or Prime load ranges anywhere from 1.64 to 1.7. Is this normal? Seems like a bit much to me. Running an Enermax 431w PS.
When I set the voltage at anything over 1.7 vcore I get these intermittent strange beeps from the PC speaker. The system runs/Primes/whatevers just fine but I get the beeps anyhow. The mobo manual seems to suggest that these beeps occur when thermal throttling kicks in, which would be...
I'll be lapping my new Alpha 8942 in a day or two and absolutely cannot find any hardware stores that carrry any sandpaper at all with a grit finer than 600. I'm in Northern Viriginia btw, and have been shocked that I couldn't find at least one store up here that carries what I need.
And do...

Right on top. No idea what the price will be. When I emailed Corsair about where to buy it, they replied that they had just announced it today and resellers should have it available tomorrow.
In short, I have XP Pro installed on my one and only partition that exists on my 60GB 60GXP (NTFS partition). I want to install Win2k for learning purposes. If I install Win2k onto the primary partition will it interfere with XP? I'll be upgrading my hardware in the next several months and...
Whenever I shift-click a link to open it in another window (or simply click a link that automatically opens in a new window) the new window appears almost maximized. I then, however, have to click on the boxes up top to maximize it, or I forget that it is not maximized and sometimes end up...
In short, I'm building a new 1.6A system that I plan to o'c into the stratosphere :D As such, I'll now have 2 systems and need to have some method of accessing both. I'm thus contemplating a KVM switch purchase, and wanted to solicit advice from you good people.
My old machine will be used...
