    Mixing RAM

    I have a noob question! Woo! :D So, at the moment I have 2x1gb sticks of Crucial Ballistix (DRR800). I also happen to have 2x1gb sticks of Corsair VS (DDR667). I was planning on selling the VS, but as the price has crashed I'd lose too much cash, so I might just wait and try and sell it when...

    BF2 "connection has been lost" caused by Dual Core

    Hmm, that's interesting. I'm also using the nvidia nforce4 ethernet (I have the marvell disabled as I heard it was a bit sucky?) So you were also getting dropouts in BF2? (I should emphasise that the internet runs flawlessly 24/7, I never have any problems unless I'm playing BF2 (fixed...

    BF2 "connection has been lost" caused by Dual Core

    Yeah, weird. My system has been working fine for a few months now. I've had the 2 patches installed since the start, and have been playing BF2 fine. Lately however, I keep getting booted from servers with the 'your connection has been lost' message. After MUCH messing about, I started...

    Wireless network dramas :(

    I can't test it for another 6 hours or so (I'm at work), but the problem occurs when the laptop is literally right next to the router so I don't think its a strength issue. Thanks for the help though. Assuming the problem still occurs on every channel, do I have any options? It's weird...

    Wireless network dramas :(

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I've tried several different channels but nothing seems to help in that regard. Ah ok, that's interesting. I guess I need to try every single channel to try and find one that isn't so 'congested' :) It's probably the damn neighbours with a new phone or...

    My SLI seems temperamental

    Hi all :) I have 2 7800GTX in SLI at the moment. An MSI (default 430 and 1.2) and an XFX (default 450 and 1.25). As far as I can tell both cards are running at the higher clocks (those clocks are displayed when I check in the control panel). I've installed NV Silencer 5 Rev 3 on both...

    Graphical glitches with MSI 7800 GTX. Help :(

    Just got an MSI 7800 GTX yesterday and I'm having a few issues I seem to be having problems with the HardOCP Farcry benchmark. I get really bad corruption on the River benchmark. I'm totally clueless about nVidia drivers as I've always used ATI and the nVidia control panel has totally confused...

    Quick nVidia control panel question

    Hi, I've recently switched over to nVidia after being 'with' ATI for a few years. I'm finding the control panel good, but more complicated than the ATI equivalent and as such I'm having a hard time getting things set up the way they were. I've got most of it (took me a while to get videos...

    Possible to use an Audigy 2 card and enable onboard at the same time?

    Hi all :) Ok so the situation is this. I currently use an Audigy 2 Platinum, and it's great, no problem. I have a set of Zalman Surround Headphones which are plugged into the 3 appropriate plugs at the back of the Audigy. However, I also use an RF audio/video transmitter to watch files...

    How do I disable the 'Press Ctrl-s or F4 to enter RAID utility'

    As the topic says :) Just installed a new setup with A8N SLI Premium and I'm pretty sure I disabled RAID in the BIOS, but this prompt shows up every boot and really slows things down. How do I disable it? Thanks guys :) Simon

    7800GTX 512MB Coming out!!!!

    Well, I hope you're right. I have an x1800XT on pre-order, but if these specs are correct, and the cards are released at the same or similar times, I'll go for the nVidia this round. However, and don't take this the wrong way, I won't be buying into the speculation until something a little...

    nForce4 Driver 6.70

    I didn't realise it also installed the SATA drivers, and as I'm installing a Raptor I really want it to be as fast as it possibly can be :) Ok. So assuming I DO install the SW IDE drivers, and I have problems, how easy is it to remove them? Is it just a case of running the 6.70 install...

    X2 - Which patches should I install?

    Ok sounds good. It just had me thinking as the hotfix is supposed to fix 'performance degradation', but as this is to be a totally new system, I probably wouldn't know if it was running as fast as it should be :) I'd obviously notice if there were huge problems, but if it was just a 'speed'...

    nForce4 Driver 6.70

    Hi, I'm soon to put my new system together with an Asus A8N SLI Premium. What are the 6.82 drivers? Should I install those, or the 6.70's (and I should avoid installing the Firewall, Active Armour and IDE drivers right?) .

    Official DO's and DON'T for ASUS A8N-SLI (PREMIUM)

    Decided to splash out and get a 74g Raptor for my boot drive, so I guess I'll be going with SATA afterall ;) So you reckon I should unplug my IDE and other SATA drive when installing windows on the Raptor, then reconnect them when its all done? I notice that new nForce chipset drivers have...

    Official DO's and DON'T for ASUS A8N-SLI (PREMIUM)

    Dunno :) I was under the impression that most people, when installing XP on a SATA, had to press F6 at an appropriate time and install the SATA drivers from a floppy :) Thanks Regulator07, that's good to know :)

    Yes, it's me again, sorry :( I've decided to get a Raptor to replace my boot disk. Does the SLI Premium come with a floppy with the SATA drivers on it for Windows installation, or will i need to get them from the website? Ta :D

    Official DO's and DON'T for ASUS A8N-SLI (PREMIUM)

    Mmm. I tend to just have the pagefile on the SATA drive anyway, but leave the OS on the IDE. Like I said, the only reason I do that is cause the IDE is only 40gigs, so it's good just for the OS and Applications. Having it as a seperate drive just seems like a waste of space as its so small...

    Thanks mate :) I have a mixture of IDE and SATA drives (1 SATA and 2 IDE). The OS will go on one of the IDE drives as its only a 40gig so I just use it for OS and apps. The only thing I was thinking with the BIOS is that I thought X2 CPU's were 'recognized' officially in the 1007 BIOS, so I...
