    VIA N/S bridge issues with ATI Radeon video cards?

    Been shopping for a new mobo for my home theater PC. I have an Athlon 64 Sempron skt 754, ATI AIW 9600 AGP, etc, and what I think is a dead EPoX mobo. As I search newegg for replacement microATX boards with AGP since I don't want to have to rebuild an entire system that's one year old with new...

    No POST, Motherboard or Proc?

    Hi all, been a while since I've been online on Anandtech. Got a troubleshooting issue that I know you guys will nail. I built a HTPC with an Antec Aria case, Epox 8HMMI Micro ATX board, 1GB Patriot RAM, and Sempron 2800 Athlon 64 processor w/ an ATI All In Wonder vid/TV card. It ran pretty OK...

    Can't get ATI AIW 9600XT 128MB to work

    Hi all, summary of the issue: Had an AIW 8500DV 64MB card running on various AMD mobos, all functions were 100% working. Then I changed to the Shuttle MN31N motherboard with nVidia nforce2 IGP NB and nVidia MCP-T SB. I went with this board because it fits the Antec Aria small format case and...

    Toshiba laptop has upgradable P4 proc?

    I opened up the bottom of my new Toshiba A45-S150 (HERE at BestBuy) and I saw underneath the heatpipe system was a ZIF socket lever. I assumed the P4 was soldered on, but I guess these guys can be popped in and out like any other. So, is there a source for faster P4M procs? A glance at the...

    Win XP Home--can't access shared directories

    I'm having a problem with my Win XP mini-network. I have the PC and laptop connected via Linksys router. I can see the actual directories that are shared on the two different systems. But when I click to open those shared directories, the system hangs for 30seconds or so and then tells me that...

    For test purposes, install XP Home on multiple machines?

    Quick question--- I have one legally purchased (to keep the pirate hunters away) copy of Windows XP Home version. Will I be able to install the same copy of XP on different machines all running file sharing among each other (for test purposes only, of course)? I want to determine whether I...

    "Cannot read IP configuration" error--SOLVED--

    On to phase 2 of the home office WiFi escapade. I got the card installed Friday night and everything was up and running. I could access the Internet from the PC and the laptop. Then I played with File Sharing in Win98. I don't think it's related, but now I can't access the Internet, and I...

    Cox Cable also blocking outbound email to outside SMTP servers!!!

    Man, this sucks. For a long time I've been accessing a personal webspace email address and a business email on another webspace. I can check my emails on those servers, but since this week I can't send mail via those same servers. I was on a tech support chat with "Brad" earlier yesterday...

    Please add link to forums front page from Private Msgs

    Hi all, Just a quick suggestion: At the top of the Private Messages webpage, there is no link to the Forums main page like all the other forums have. Can you add one? For instance, in this window right now, there is a border at the top of the area with "FORUMS > Forum Issues". Clicking on...

    Dell PC at work needs faster Slot proc

    I have a Dell PC at work that is so slow (how slow is it?) it's ridiculous. It has a slot processor, 500MHz. I don't know dick about slocket adapters and even if they'll work in a Dell. If possible, I need a Slocket and a good processor. Anyone have any advice? Unfortunately, I don't think...

    Can't get Norton or Win98 to defrag HD, HELP!

    Hi all, I've been trying to get my HD defragmented, but for some reason it keeps starting over due to "disk write" or "disk contents have changed" and the program has to start all over again. I have tried shutting down everything except "Explorer" with Ctrl+Alt+Del or shutting them down...

    Is cable internet access half duplex?

    Someone remarked that cable internet access is only half duplex. Is that right? My performance on Cox cable internet gives me the impression that it's full duplex. I'm not talking about the 10/100 connection from the PC to the modem, I'm referring to the modem talking over the coax to the...

    USB media reader crashing Win98SE

    I have a Lexar USB SmartMedia reader that I have been using for some time now. I changed motherboards a couple of weeks ago, and I reinstalled all of my apps and devices again on a clean slate with my good old Win 98 SE disc (bought legally). So I install the Lexar drivers, reboot the PC, plug...

    How to unlock CD burner software?

    This may be a dumb question, but I was wondering: can you unlock CD burning software? What I'm referring to is the free software that comes free with some CD-R drives is "locked" so it only recognizes that brand or particular drive. I got a Yamaha with EZCD Creator 4, and my wife likes the...

    Athlon XP 1600+ at 166 FSB

    I have been assembling systems for a friend and my brother. I bought the XP1600 from newegg on sale ($53.99) and an Epox 8K3AE+ mobo (also on sale, $75) with Crucial memory. I hit 166 FSB without a hitch!! The 1600s that newegg has been shipping lately are AGOIA, which I understand is one of...

    EDITED: Need good, cheap INTEL MB recommendations

    I am putting a system together for a friend of a friend (you know how it goes, once poeple know you know PCs, they think you're Dell or something). He demands low price (under $400) for the mobo, CPU, memory, and case. Must be Intel, as he has been burned by 2 different AMD systems now. He...

    Building cheap rig from spares, ??s

    I have an old Pentium 2 350, I think. The CPU is a slot CPU, not socket. The mobo is labelled P6-PRO, unknown manufacturer (I'll find out when I get home). It has an unknown AGP graphics card, Sound Blaster 16 ISA sound card, 384MB PC100 RAM, HD, etc, etc. I want to give this PC to my...

    Up to 80 WUs in less than 10 days!

    I'm pretty stoked that my OCed 1800+ (1702MHz is the fastest without problem so far) is running right around 3hrs per WU. I have been running my work PC, also, but it's only crunching 3 per day. At this rate, it will only take me 20.5 years to hit 60k WUs! :D JamesM

    Need 80mm fan for AX-7, quiet w/ good flow

    What's a good, quiet 80mm fan to use with a Thermalright AX-7 heat sink? This is going on an OCed Athlon 1800+, so it also has to have some good flow. System and case temps are relatively cool, so airflow in/out of the case is not an issue. I'm running SETI 24/7, so I need something to keep...

    How to reduce speed of HS fan?

    Hi all, My heatsink fan is pretty loud. I thought 32dB wouldn't be that loud, but it is. It sounds like a server room in my house. I have an Evercool CUD715 on my Athlon XP 1800+. It keeps the CPU under 43C under full load (SETI or HotCPU) just fine. The fan used to suck air off the HS...

    Unlocked Palomino 1800+ runs like crap

    I unlocked my Palomino core Athlon 1800+ yesterday. The chip itself has "AGKGA" or something like that on it, so I imagine that's the stepping. The unlock was successful, but the darn thing didn't run well at all. Win98 forgot everything, it wouldn't POST half the time, I had to reset CMOS...

    New to OCing, need some DDR help

    Hi all, I'm pretty new to overclocking. I just put together an Athlon 1800+ XP system with 2x 256MB sticks of Kingston PC2100, Shuttle AK31A motherboard, etc etc. I have the FSB up to 145MHz running stable as the day is long. Socket temp never exceeds 113F when running the Burn CPU program I...
