I am building a new budget computer for my kid brother (just something for him to use for email/web browsing/MSN, and home work).
I purchased a new budget case, mobo (w/ onboard sound, network, and graphics), and CPU. I am using some old RAM, an old CD/DVD drive, and an old HDD.
After...
The device in question is a GigaFast Wireless-G Router (WF719-CAPR). You can view it online at Futureshop.ca. (Just do a search for GigaFast.)
I upgraded the firmware very recently (which is handled entirely via IP access through web browser). Everything looks smooth enough. When I am...
My internet connection appears to be working in every possible way... except for FTP.
I cannot connect to *any* FTP servers whatsoever. It tries to connect, but it gets no where... complete non-starter.
Any help?
Hello all.
I just purchased a new Inspiron 9300 laptop, and I have finished transferring everything from my old desktop to my new system.
There are still some decent parts in my desktop, but I have no use for it any longer, so I am going to be breaking it down and selling the components on...
My brother's hard drive got corrupted.
I was able to hook the drive up to my computer as a secondary drive, get all of the important information off, and reformat the drive. Now, I would like to install his OS (Windows XP) on the hard drive.
Unfortunately, I cannot find an easy way to do...
Hello everyone:
Please see this thread for information on my earlier problems - http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=32&threadid=1493490. I had a huge crash late last week, and a lot of stuff went wrong. I couldn't get past POST.
Basically, my videocard and a stick of RAM were destroyed...
Will there be any new Nvidia cards coming out in the near future that will cause the 6800s to drop in price?
Also, is it true that the ASUS 6800 uses regular DDR Memory (i.e. non-DDR3?)? This is what I have been told.
I was told that the ASUS 6800 uses normal DDR memory, rather than DDR3. Is this untrue?
What brand of 6800GT do you think I should get -- i.e. what's the best?
I am getting a new video card for my system. I am not rich. Here is my current system:
Pentium 4 3.0C
1.5 Gigs of RAM (DDR400)
Radeon 9800XT Pro (256MB) --- DEAD
ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe
120 Gig SATA drive, and 80 Gig IDE secondary
DVDRW+- and DVDRAM
Thermaltake Silent PurePower 480W...
I have gotten over all of the serious problems with my system (see thread here: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...d=32&threadid=1493490).
The one remaining issue is my video card. I have been using a Radeon 9800XT (256MB) for about 6 months, and it has been serving me very well...
OK, I've got 1 Corsair stick and 1 Samsung stick running together. If they're working well now, there shouldn't be any future problems, right?
I will go out and buy a new surge protector tomorrow (and try to test my video card).
What do you guys think about the power supply? (See...
Heya guys:
Here are some updates and new questions -- I am making progress.
One ram stick *is* dead. It actually has a black mark on it, and smells a bit burnt... so perhaps it was fried? The other seems fine. It works fine wherever, so I assume that the mobo is fine.
I am still...
Heya guys:
Thanks for the posts so far. I appreciate it a lot.
compso - The slots look to be fine and in tact.
fishmonger12 - I do have four slots (two blue, two black... the sequence is blue, black -separation- blue, black). But I am not sure of what number is assigned to each slot...
Hello:
In advance, I would like to say ?thanks? to anyone who is able to help me out.
I will try to be brief in summarizing my problems, and the steps I have made so far.
First, my system specs:
Pentium 4 3.0C
1 Gig of Ram in Dual-Channel
Radeon 9800XT Pro (256MB)
ASUS...
The picture on my monitor rattles back and forth rather dramatically, but only when I load certain games.
I've got a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 930... a very good CRT monitor. And I've got a radeon 9800xt 256MB video card... so this shouldn't be the problem.
At all other times, everything is...
OK. I just did a firmware update... I was pretty out of date. I just updated to the recently released firmware for the drive.
But I still have the problem... no change at all.
Any ideas?
I've got the LG GSA-4082B 8X4X12 DVD+-R/RW/RAM 24X16X32 CDRW. It was installed correctly, and functioned 100% for a couple of weeks. I have not made any significant additional hardware or software installations in the last few days (a couple USB devices, nothing else really).
Beginning last...
I just hooked together a new system, and its sweet. And, I wanna take advantage of my 256MB radeon 9800xt by getting a nice monitor.
I'm not interested in LCDs -- they're too expensive, and I don't care much about energy expenditure or size/weight. And, I've been told that CRTs still have...
Heya everyone:
I just wanted to post a brief follow-up, now that everything is working 100%, and my system is up and running wonderfully.
Firstly -- thanks very much to everyone who gave me any help. It was all great, and I appreciated every shred of assistance.
So, here is the low-down on...
I'm a bit worried that the partition it created was bunk, though.
When I try to install windows again, it shows that the drive has the main partition (of nearly all of the space) and a second 8 meg partition... which is likely the result of the failure I had while trying to install windows. Is...
Well, my Third Master Drive SATA hd is now recognized by the system, and it shows up in BIOS, in the right place, etc.
I booted up on an XP bootdisc set, and the setup began.
I chose to partition my drive and install windows XP.
After the partition had completed, it attempted to begin...
I built a new system last night. When I boot it up, it doesn't seem to recognize or find the SATA HD that I've got plugged in.
