    Does anyone Does anyone here know the real read speed of the NEC ND-3550A on a 9GB dvd drive (average is cool, I'd be happy for anything)?

    Handspring Visor: PalmUSBD.sys Installation

    Hi, I'm trying to install a Handspring Visor on a Windows 2000 (w/all updates) box. The installation goes okay, until it comes to the point where it asks to synchronize for the first time. The palm is detected no problem, but then it asks for PalmUSBD.sys (to install the device). For some...

    Noisy PC Fans

    Hello all, I recently got a new desk, and with my PC more out in the open, I'm noticing that this beast is pretty noisy. I'm pretty sure it's mainly my power supply, 450w allied (off brand). My other case fans are okay I think, but I can't exactly cancel them out just yet. Any suggestions...

    Radeon 9500 Pro & 19inch SyncMaster 955DF

    I recently got a 19inch Samsung monitor and Radeon 9500 Pro. I've been having a few problems though. The main one is I can't even run the monitor at its preferred resolution (1280x1024x75hz), which is what I prefer as well, but the monitor always shakes. I have to run it in 60hz and even then...

    XP 2400+ and K7T266A

    I have this motherboard: K7T266 PRO 2U and as you can see, it supports up to Athlon XP 2600+'s and above. I'm upgrading from a 1600+, and when I snap the new processor in (2400+), I get no image or POST or anything. Everything runs and gets power, but that seems to be about it. I've cleared...

    Games Not Running In Full Screen Mode

    I just installed the latest Omega drivers for my Radeon 9500 Pro. Now I no longer have VSync issues (thanks for whoever told me about these drivers), but now games such as Medal of Honor don't run in full screen mode. I can't enlarge them to the full screen either with anything like Alt+Enter...

    Problems W/ My 9500 Pro

    I just installed my new 9500 pro card and everythings working fine, except for this annoying glitch in seemingly every single FPS. Whenever I seem to pan the screen, it looks as though the graphics are tearing, so to speak. I think it's called clipping, but I'm not positive. I know it's a...
