    New Vista Install - Issue with backup Sata Drive

    I haven't, I'll give it a shot. And how exactly do I do that....just find the IDE listing in device manager and roll back the driver or is there a different way to uninstall it?

    Anybody? Still having issues with this. I'm assuming its related to the drivers since after installing the ones off Nvidia site is when it started. Anyway to get rid of the SATA driver that was installed?

    New Vista Install - Issue with backup Sata Drive

    So I just did a clean install of Vista tonight. I have 2 Sata drives, my main one with the O/S, and then a 2nd one from my previous install that I use to access older files (not set up in a RAID or anything). I installed Vista with just the primary connected and everything went fine. After...

    xvid playback slightly choppy.

    Nice, worked for me too. And on top of that, it fixed a problem I was having with Windows Media Encoder, where anytime I started to encode a divx file an error message would instantly pop up - works perfectly now. Thanks again for passing on the info...

    New XP install with 2 HD's - one old, one new

    So I'm putting together a new system in which I've upgraded everything, and I have 2 sata drives (not to be used in a raid or anything) - one being a new 320gb, and the 2nd being an older 80gb that my previous system was running the operating system on. On my new system, I want the 320 gig to...

    Will this PSU handle a 8800GTS?

    Yeah I just seen that. It was in stock when I first pulled it up and then after I posted this topic and researched it for a couple minutes it was out of stock...awesome. Guess silver will do.

    Will this PSU handle a 8800GTS?

    I think I'm gonna go ahead and pick up a EVGA 8800GTS and the Rosewill PSU I had originally bought doesnt sound like it will cut it. I've heard alot of good things about this Enhance ENP-5150GH PSU on various forums, but just wanted to check to see if yall thought it'd be sufficient power for...

    Pick out my new video card

    I already have the PSU and already ordered the CPU, so I cant change either of those - I did think about the 6420 but I dont think I plan to overclock this time around. The PSU I got in from newegg last week. At the time I ordered it I didnt plan on buying an 8800GTS card so figured it'd be...

    Pick out my new video card

    That 7950GT was actually one I was already considering. If I went the 8800GTS route, this EVGA one seems to be the cheapest (~45 bucks higher than the 7950GT after rebates). I'm wondering if my power supply would be enough to handle it though (and upgrading that isnt an option cause I just...

    Pick out my new video card

    So I'm upgrading my computer after about 2 years (an am a bit/alot out of touch with whats good), and really have no idea what the best bang for the buck video card to go with would be. My current one is a Sapphire Radeon 9800PRO 128M. It'll go with an E6600, either a MSI P6N SLI-FI or ASUS...

    Help Me Decide...

    I think I've narrowed it down to the MSI P6N SLI-FI or ASUS P5N-E SLI. Would either of these be fine if I'm not overclocking? Any of them better than the other for any particular reason?

    Help Me Decide...

    So my computer died on me a week or two ago (not sure if its the CPU or mobo, but figure I may as well upgrade everything since its been about 2 years) and I really need some help picking out which motherboard to go with. I've read posts here and whatnot, but I'm still not figuring out what to...

    Yeah, the one on there. I guess that'll be my next plan of action cause I tried everything else said so far (taking out each memory stick one by one, disconnecting all drives) and no luck...now i just need to find a video card to test out with, cause I hate buying a new expensive one without...

    CPU Fan Problem

    Alright, starting last week, sometimes when I would turn my computer on, after about 20 seconds one of my fans would start make a rattling noise. Usually I could just restart my computer and the noise would go away; and the cpu fan monitor was still reporting a normal rpm. Today though, its...

    CDex Ripping Speed

    To anyone who uses or has used CDex, about how long does it usually take to convert a song into an mp3 from off cd? Depending on my settings, it takes anywhere from 35-75 seconds per song....that just seems really slow to me, when comparing to iTunes, which takes just a few seconds to rip a...

    Help choosing a new monitor!

    I have the NEC FE991sb....I like it. I'd recommend it, unless you wanna spend more and get the 930 cause I've also heard really good things about it. If you're on a budget though like I was, you'll be happy with the FE991sb. I use a Dell Trinitron at work (17") and if I had to pick between...

    Capturing Streaming Audio

    Tell him to download Total Recorder. It'll record any audio thats coming from your output, including streaming audio like he's needing it for. The freeware version only lets you record 40-seconds at a time so he can either purchase the full version for $11.95, or go the less ethical route if...
