    Networking Frustration

    I've been banging my head against the wall for two years with this chronic problem. I bought an entirely new NIC to replace the old one, thinking that was the cause; the problem persists, regardless of NIC. So, this is my problem: I have a cable modem (old Motorola Surfboard), which, for...

    DVD-ROM that doesn't read DVDs

    Ok, so, I bought this Memorex 48MAX 244816AJ CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive about two years ago, figuring it'd save me some space since I could burn CDs and read DVDs in the same drive. Well, apparently, somebody forgot to tell me that this drive doesn't actually read DVDs, since nearly every DVD...

    Open-Source Graphics Card

    I just ran a search on both variants of the term open source and saw no threads in the Video forums about this, so I figure I'm the first one to think of bringing this to the AT forums... Anyway, for those of you who think that you know better than nVidia and ATI, now you can prove it. Check...

    Halo PC/CE Exception Error Madness

    So, being a Halo fan, I enjoy my multiplayer madness over the internet, and keep current by installing Halo Custom Edition (Gearbox-supported and effectively version 1.05 of Halo PC). Ok, ok, whatever. Runs fine, looks good, etc. A few days ago, my game suddenly started rendering bizarre...

    2800+ --> 3000+ tossing PCI out of spec?

    I finally figured out how to change multipliers and started tinkering with my system's bus speed; right now I'm running a 10.5x200 configuration to keep the heat down because I have a 70C thermal warning set in my BIOS and on average I'm looking at 60-61C after a few hours. Anyway, the board is...

    Small CPU Problem

    Okay, so I have a 2800+ Barton, week 20. Multiplier is 12.5x, bus should be 166, right? Well, either my GA-7N400 Pro2 is damaged or there's something I'm not seeing wrong, because the system will NOT boot if I change the bus to anything over 100, and I can't change the multiplier in the BIOS...

    Compressed Gas Cooling

    I would have put this in Cases & Cooling, but the question is a bit more highly technical than C&C could handle, I'd think. Anyway, the question is this: Would it be possible to take compressed gas, like CO2, and run it in a heatpipe type system where the heat from the cooled components provides...

    Athlon Bus Limitation?

    Argh, apparently there's no edit. Way to start off a first post. :( Anyway, I was thinking about the current AXP design limitations, and how people are getting around 2.3GHz on air cooling. Would it be possible to take an Athlon XP, drop the multiplier down to a 9x and widen the bus to 250MHz...
