    How to Install Win XP with an iso file?

    Is there any way to install windows XP using an ISO file, without burning a CD of it? Like, i can mount the file in daemon tools and it come up and everything, yet... Is there some way to mount a file in dos? And yes, this is a legal ISO file. I got it from microsoft's academic alliance...

    Anandtech member murders 2, commits suicide in Aliso Viejo

    darkplayer, { did I ever say that you told him to pull the trigger? I was not pointing fingers at anybody. I was just bringing up a general point. Maybe he was surfing the forum and all the derogatory comments he recieved he interpreted as "You are worthless or Your life is a waste". Now, I...

    Anandtech member murders 2, commits suicide in Aliso Viejo

    wow... I am amazed by all the crap in this thread. All you who said, "He'll burn in hell for this.". Well, Imagine that YOU were the one that egged him on to do this action during a depressed state of his where he would listen to almost anything. So you tell him to kill people and commit...

    6800LE

    got lucky :) 6800 LE is great for the price. I got about 6000 3dmark03 with nothing unlocked, which is pretty good. I unlocked mine to 12/5, the last vertex shader is horrible when unlocked. The other 4 pixel pipes work pretty well. I see HUGE rendering errors in 3dmark05, but not really...

    6800le cards

    I remember that newegg used to have a PNY oem (white box) 6800 NU for about 155 a while back. But I believe a lot of people had missing parts or non-working cards. I bought the 6800LE and I hope to get it soon. Good deal if I can unlock at least 4 pipes.

    Good cheap socket 754 AMD proc?

    Hey, I'm looking to upgrade my PC a bit, and I can get a DFI NF3 socket 754 for about 80 bucks.... I have a limit of about 200 total (not including hsf/fan, and I have ram already). I was wondering what would be a good processor that would OC and give good performance. Right now I have a...

    New Proof that 1 = .999999999 Repeating

    actually it's applied to all threads you post in, so you make every thread unsuccessful and unpopular. Oh well. so are we saying .99999...8 = .999999999... = 1 as well?

    Identifying memory bus width on Geforce 5200 cards

    I know you're looking at silent, but i still think you'd be better off with a TI-4200... I personally don't think mine is very loud, and i'm sure you can buy a third party cooler if you think so.

    Difference between 128mb and 256mb graphic cards?

    yeah i didn't think the 9800 pro was as fast as the X700, so i would say the vanilla 6600 and the 9800 pro are ABOUT the same. Remember each card has it's strengths and weaknesses. but OC'ing the memory on the 6200 will let it pull ahead of the 9800 EDIT: is there a VGA cooler or fan that...

    ok that makes sense. It's just hard to remember what words to use :) EDIT: lol at But do you understand it better than someone who only understands it 99.999R% in the scope of the class?

    New Proof that 1 = .999999999 Repeating

    well, math teachers always hide the "truth" and you figure out the "truth" in a later math course :) as for surviving calculus without knowing what I was doing? I understood calculus 100% in the scope of the class. We were told if you get one of the indetermininate forms after evaluating...

    Difference between 128mb and 256mb graphic cards?

    ... I think what he meant to say is "Unlocked and OC'ed the 6600 beats or equals the 9800 pro). It really just depends on the game you're playing. The mem on the 6200 won't ever reach the 900 mhz mem stock of the 6600 GT for AGP's, but I hear people pushing 700 mhz ram on the 6200. That's...

    New Proof that 1 = .999999999 Repeating

    this comes up all the time in every forum, but i haven't ever commented. lim 1/x -> 0 as x -> infinity = 0. so then ok, 1/infinity = 0 because you can't have .000000 ..... 1 because 0's are infinite. but then 1 = infinity * 0? it doesn't follow that basic rule of divison. infinity * 0 is...

    Good 6200 card to unlock and overclock

    get the eVGA 256 off amazon. It'll probably unlock anyway, otherwise ebay it. The ram might be 4.0 or slightly higher ns, not really going to lose too much, maybe a 20 mhz OC on the ram. Otherwise, take the leadtek on newegg and use the funds to buy something else on amazon. I'll let you...

    X800XL too much for a Barton 3200+??

    It would be tough to get a good CPU/mobo/ram in the 200 range that has PCI-E.

    delete

    hey, thats pretty cool. I still wonder how you mount the mobo in there. Might be easier to let the computer become an old desktop (not a tower). Then you could make little pillars and make a second shelf type area and let the hard drive + cd rom sit up there. the mini ATX would probably...

    15138 on a AMD XP-M 2400 (at 11.5x200) with Photoshop 6.0 i have a geforce Ti-4200 so I'd probably pull about 800 MAYBE

    6200 vs 5700 ultra?

    6200 or 6600?

    the 6600 is $30 more on new egg. Watch out for that 64 bit 6600 from chaintech for $122, it's BAD.

    Seriously, why the hell are video cards even being equipped with a VGA connector?

    I still think CRT's are better for gaming. They are also much cheaper, as in you can find 17 in CRT's for 120 with 1600x1200 and 75 hz. Try and find an LCD that can do that resolution for that price. LCD's do seem more vibrant with colors and images though, buy you can probably tweak settings on...

    BFG GEFORCE FX 5500OC 256MB AGP

    hmmm...maybe i was wrong then about the leadtek faster, it's just that there's prrof that its 3.6 and currently unconfirmed with the chaintech. usually when they make 256 meg verions of cards the memory is slower because its cheaper. However, It's more of a luck whether you get one with...

    BFG GEFORCE FX 5500OC 256MB AGP

    I don't know anyone on hardforums, anandtech, xtremesystems.com who have the chaintech. However, someone here has the leadtek and leadtek is a good brand. I hear eVGA is just as good as leadtek as well. I wouldn't spend the extra money on the 256 meg ram. The 9800 pro with 256 meg ram wias...

    BFG GEFORCE FX 5500OC 256MB AGP

    yeah, thats the one I bought, I was planning on waiting to recieve some paypal funds, but once i saw the chaintech go out of stock, i went ahead and bought it. i figure people are figuring out that the 6200 is an awesome deal. And the leadtek has higher stock memory speeds too (and I hear the...

    BFG GEFORCE FX 5500OC 256MB AGP

    If you can use the PCI-E one, get it, because its cheaper but the same thing. To unlock, the extra pipelines, you need to download a program called rivatuner, just search for it on google. And how to go about unlocking http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=841145 it should be the same...

    BFG GEFORCE FX 5500OC 256MB AGP

    I just bought the leadtek 6200 AGP. It's got 550mhz ram which is 3.6 ns so it'll probably OC a bit higher. Unfortunately, the ram is in a funny place so ramsinks might not be possible. EDIT: i haven't recieved it yet though, bought from newegg. They'll probably go OOS quick. Pick one up while...

    Name a video game that you could not beat

I had to use the 20 lives cheat. I played it on my computer and with keyboard i can usually get through the whole...

    Leadtek 6200 AGP unlocks?

    Hey, I'm wondering if anybody has this card and was able to unlock it? I only see people with the PCI-E's unlocking. I dunno if the AGP's unlock or not j/w :) If you do have this, how high could you push the memory//core speeds? thanks

    What is you speed test?

    5.80 Mbps which means you can download at 742.03 KB/sec. from our servers. however, I know I can download much much faster than that. I can pull 7 meg per sec downloads usually, I just need more connections, so my guess is that they limit 1 connection to 5.80 mbps
