    Windows 2k and my hardware, help......

    The only games I play are Quake 2 and Quake 3. I literally do nothing else with the machine, besides surf the web and get my mail. I would imagine that any newcoming games would be better optimized for Win2k than has games of the recent past? Any ideas?

    Attention X-Gamer 5.1soundcard owner! Help needed

    Just bought mine this week as well, as far as im aware, they are not gonna be manufactured in gold contacts or anything. As far as connection to a home theatre system, you need a minijack to RCA plug. Only the Live!Platinum comes with the Live!Drive that has the gold plated RCA contacts.

    I know when I bought this, the box says I can hook it up to my Dolby 5.1 home theatre receiver. The digital out on this card is a standard sized PC headphone jack. Is there a special cable that hooks to the receiver? Or do I need a daughter card like the SB Live Plat? Any help is appreciated.

    Well, I just redid my system form a Celeron 633@950 and Abit mobo, to what I have listed below. My hard drive was ok for the most part, but I was getting some little errors and stuff. Always best to redo your HD when switching boards.

    Soyo Tek K7VTA Socket A MB

    I use that mobo, simply cause CompUsa only uses the Soyo brand. I have had it running for about 5 days now and no problems. Good features, very stable. I will be going to a Raid board after the next computer show, but this will be my standby board should anything happen. I know alot of members...

    How do you know when your CPU is roast

    People, whether or not he seriously needs help here im not sure. But he has a post in the FS/FT forum trying to trade this CPU for a PIII 1.3 GHz or higher, stating that he will throw in a video card as well....Might not be worth the time..

    Gutting Intel Sys today,for AMD/ASUS rig(amd newbie)advice?

    I wouldnt even worry bout the Radio Shack compound for now. The thermal pad included with the Taisol fans are more than sufficient cooling. I use the 742 model Taisol, and it along with the extra cooling keeps my CPU temp at approx 32-33 degrees Celsius +/- and few degrees due to accuracy of probe.

    Gutting Intel Sys today,for AMD/ASUS rig(amd newbie)advice?

    You are not close to in trouble. For the system your building, what you have is quite decent. Like I said, if your gonna overclock that sucker...make sure you provide a decent amount of cooling..

    hands down, what is the best heatsink to get for a T-bird?

    I use the Taisol model 742, it is damn quiet, and keeps the chip pretty damn cool. I have heard many others praise this hedgehog, and being that Mikewarrior seems to be the guru on top of the mountain, I would go with his opinion. If $$ is an issue to you. The taisol performs admirably with such...

    Socket A Tbird,Radioshack Paste,TaiSol CEK733092 HSF ...

    Goto 2cooltek.com and check out the 5.25" bay cooler they have there. Has two fans, one intake, one exhaust, moves quite a bit of air in my opinion. The intake channels the hot air through a passage in the top of the cooler, and the exhaust then exits the air out the fornt of your system. I...

    At the current time, I am only using the Taisol 742 HSF, the PS exhaust fan, and a 5.25" 93 CFM Drive bay cooler. My T-Bird hasnt ran over 33 degress C for the last 2.5 days. I didnt even have to do the "melting thermal pad" process. I would imagine with enough case cooling, you...

    When's AMD getting faster?

    I dont think anyone using 1.2+ is really in need of that CPU speed. I guess it is based on the human failing of pride. The "I have the best" syndrome. I myself suffer form the disease and am currently getting treatment ;)
