    ATI CCC Install Issues

    I've looked through the logs in event viewer and some variations of these two keep popping up whenever I attempt the install. What can these mean? EDIT: More info: Each time I try to install the Action Center pops up with this I downloaded and installed that hotfix yet I still...

    ATI CCC Install Issues

    Hey all! I just got a new laptop with an ATI Radeon 3650 and I've been trying to update the drivers for a while. I'm running Win7 64 on it right now and the default ATI drivers (V 8.632.1.2000; 8/18/09; no CCC) aren't working out too well. I'm trying to install this version found here...

    Need a Crash Course on TVs

    What is SD quality? And I doubt that I could get something worse than their 80's Zenith. I will find out more if they are willing to upgrade to HD.

    Need a Crash Course on TVs

    Hello everyone! The grandparents' 30 year old TV has finally gone kaput and it's time to replace it. They turned to me to find a new TV for them, except I have almost no idea on what to get. They are looking for something around 40-50" and for less than $1000. I've looked around a bit...

    HotBrick 800/2 Connection Issues

    Hey peeps, back again. A couple months ago I bought two hotbrick firewalls for very cheap, a 1200/2 and a 800/2, with the intention of flipping them on ebay. The 1200/2 has been sold a while back, but I was having issues trying to get the 800/2 working, so I put it on the shelf for later. The...

    2 Routers, 1 as bridge?

    Victory!!! I fixed it! It turns out some numbnuts wired my lan cord not using the 568 standards (not me of course :roll:), so there must have been some sort of conflict. But now both routers talk to each other and the room is now wired :). Jack, thank you so much for your help and for...

    2 Routers, 1 as bridge?

    Argh, still not working. DHCP is off on the BEFW. Is it a possibility that the blue cable can work as a LAN cord but not uplink?

    2 Routers, 1 as bridge?

    Question, should I turn off the DHCP on the WRT or on the BEFW? And on that tutorial it says "make sure that the computer is configured to obtain DHCP automatically from the Router," how do I do that? edit: sorry for the double post, meant to edit.

    2 Routers, 1 as bridge?

    Hi Jack, thanks for your help. I think I followed the directions in that site to the letter but I still haven't gotten them to work together. There is an odd thing I noticed though. From the WRT54G to the basement requires about 20ft of Cat5 (we can call this cable the blue cable now). I...

    2 Routers, 1 as bridge?

    Uh, sorry, I wasn't thinking when I wrote that I couldn't get cable there. I can get cable to the room but since there will be multiple computers in there it would be pretty ugly to snake a few cables through the living room and down to the basement. Much easier with one :) So I thought I...

    2 Routers, 1 as bridge?

    Hey all, I have 2 routers, a lynksis WRT54G and an ancient lynksis BEFW11S4. The WRT provides wireless + ethernet to most of the house, but there's another room with multiple computers I want to get internet to but it is too far away for both wired and wireless. So I was hoping there was a way...

    I'm trying to find a new laptop hard drive and the interface is SATA 1.5Gb/s. Would it work if I stick a 3.0Gb/s hard drive in? Thanks! -Krez

    RAM Question

    Hey all, I've got a question about RAM before I go buy some for my laptop. I'm trying to get a 2GB stick of DDR2 for my gateway laptop. My question is, what would be better, 2GB of 667 with a CAS Latency of 5, or 2GB of 533 with 4 CAS Latency? What exactly does RAM speed mean? For example...

    Stand-By Problems

    Sorry to run a tad off topic, but are the Seagate 750 and SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 750GB faster than the new WD 640GB? I'm running out of space and would like a fast and big hard drive ;)

    Replacing Lappy HD

    Hey there, sorry for not responding. The laptop was having some trouble booting and I finally fixed it. But I've come across another problem. I've got two laptop harddrives, an 80gb seagate, and a 30gb HP that I found. I've tried to install windows on both HDs (which are confirmed working)...

    Replacing Lappy HD

    Hey everyone, After a few years of use (or misuse? ;)), my bro's Toshiba Satellite laptop has stopped working. I took a look at it and figured out that the HD died. I told him that and without consulting me he went out and bought an 80GB Seagate laptop HD. I tried installing XP Pro on it...

    Upgrading my rig

    Thanks for your help Roguestar, the PSU is working fine now. However, I've been getting BSOD's quite often, and in a memtest run of each of my RAM sticks it seems that one of my 1GB and 512GB sticks are reporting errors. Since I plan on overclocking it looks like I'll want to get another 2x1GB...

    Would the 4-Pin in the 8-pin slot be giving the mobo enough power?

    Upgrading my rig

    By main one you mean the 24-Pin cord, right? My PSU does have that. I'm just worried about any danger I might be putting my new mobo in. Are you sure that the 4-Pin would work fine in the 8-pin slot? It says in the manual: What does that mean?

    I'm not looking in to overclocking more than 600-800mhz, otherwise I'd have to get a better cooler and ram. What's the power draw on them, are they all the same?

    SOLVED: 8600GT or 7900GT

    All those cards look tasty Denithor :) That 3850 512 doesn't seem justifiable if the 8800GT is only $25 more, however. In terms of percentages, how much better would the 8800GT be over the 3850 256?
