    RAM acting all funny

    Detailed post ahead - bare with me :) I originally had a TwinMOS 512MB (2x256MB) dual chan kit for my P4 system. It was always a bit dodgy - it would only run Memtest at CAS3. At the advertised CAS 2.5 it would throw errors in test 5 and 6. Set to CAS3 and it was perfect, so I decided to live...

    Playstation2 s-video question

    Trying to connect a PS2 to a 19" RCA TV with an S-Video cable but cannot get any signal at all. I know the cable and the PS2 are both fine because I've just moved them from another TV where they worked with no probs. On the this TV tho it just can't get a signal from the PS2 and I have no idea...

    I assume this is a faulty PSU?

    It's an Enermax Noisetaker 370W. It should be more than powerful enough as it's quite a modest P4 system. I noticed straight away the rails looked a bit on the low side - the 12v rail in particular was reading as low as 11.5v, and usually 11.6v. I know you can't fully trust software readings on...

    New build - few questions

    20/24 pin PSU question

    Yes, I've read the sticky but am still a bit confused.... I ordered an Enermax Noisetaker 370W thinking it would be ATX V2.0 but it's 1.3 (has seperate 12v rails tho...). Anyway, I'll be using the PSU on a Gigabyte Duo Pro mobo and an X700 Pro video card. Will this work OK? The mobo has...

    Best HS/F for LGA775?

    Looking for a HS/F unit for a 540J P4 3.2GHz. My limit is absolutely no more than $40, and I'll be using it with some AS5 (which I already have...). I'd like to get it from Newegg as I'm ordering a bunch of stuff from them, but they don't seem to have many LGA775 coolers and they're out of stock...

    Is a Raptor worth it?

    I'm looking to build a system on a budget - gaming isn't so important, but it will be used for a lot of Photoshop work and web design stuff. I would love a 74GB Raptor, but obviously they're very expensive compared to regular 7,200rpm drives. Seeing as I'm working to a tight budget, would the...
