As the TheOtherOne said, you won't. Boards with the Nvidia 6100 or 6150 will be about the best you will do. Those are ok for light, simple gaming(and for some of those, you'll have to turn off the eye candy/decrease resolution) but very good for a budget general purpose non-gaming rig. These...

You're the Man, Marzeth!:D That did it. I have no idea why that whole section was grayed out, unless when installing Nero, I gave it permission to be the default burner. Thanks again. Bronson7

I have an NEC optical drive and while I can burn data using Nero, I can't burn using XP. When I right click on what I want to burn, the CD ROM doesn't show as an option. On the left side of the window, if I click on "copy files", the CD ROM will show up, but upon clicking, I get a "Drive D: is...

Another vote for Comodo and it plays nice with Avast. Bronson7

Also, have you checked logitech for updated drivers for your cam? Might help, might not. Bronson7

I've found CoolerMaster cases to be the best bang for the buck. I bought two Centurions for builds and they were/are great. Came with 120mm exhaust and 80mm intake right over the hard drive bays. I paid about $50+shipping. PSU will be of your choice. Not only are they functionally great but they...

I'm no guru by any means, but my understanding is that installing a new mobo with an existing hard drive can present problems and many times will require a Repair installation of windows. This isn't ideal and after it's up and running, I'd back-up everything of importance and do a clean install...

Building yet another rig for a family member and I have a question about RAM. The board is a Biostar TForce-6100 AM2 microATX that supports DDR2 800. The processor is an AM2 Athlon 3800 AM2 single core. I'm trying to keep the price down and the DDR2 800 is pretty darned pricey and I don't think...

I just built a rig for my brother using a BioStar TForce-6100-939 coupled with an Athlon 3800. Looks like a heavy duty board with OC capabilities. It has on-board vid so perhaps not a gamer's board unless you add a pcie vid card. I've got it set up for optimum. It's a very nice board. The early...

What about BioStar? Bronson7

Well, you nailed it! It's ZoneAlarm. At first everything worked perfectly, then, I couldn't even get on-line (timed out when selecting the blue E). I played around with everything I could think of including Nvidia's ethernet drivers (what a pain Nvidia drivers are). Finally disabled ZoneAlarm...

I just built a PC for my brother and he’s having a problem with accessing pages within sites. He’s hooked up to DSL via on-board LAN. My first thought was perhaps the LAN is faulty but he’s getting good connect speeds as verified by a modem speed test site and he’s able to access all main web...

I'm right in the middle of a build and the drivers disk that came with the mobo has an AMD64 driver. Is that a driver for a 64 bit version of Windows or is it for the mobo to support an AMD64 processor? I ask, because I'd rather ignore the mobo's CD altogether and use the platform and display...

Just been putting this new build together and it was posting fine along with the single short beep. I entered the bios to have a look and all was well. I had all four LEDs lit, so that was good and I shut it down, awaiting a combo optical drive, which showed up on my door step a few hours later...

I remember waaaay back when Web Ferret ruled. Seriously though, Google is my favorite, located in my quick launch. Bronson7

All I would do differently than you is leave out the modem. Install it and drivers when done. It's a pain in the rear contending with a re-occurring hardware box every time you reboot to install your other drivers. Bronson7

When it comes to reactivation, you did replace it because the original died. Understand? Bronson7

This is an SP2 file search off of my XPhome SP2 disc: Bronson7

Just thinking out loud here and don't know if you'd find anything, but what about putting it in the drive, then running a search for SP2 files on that drive. Might turn up some files you could use to ascertain whether or not it's SP2. Bronson7

I just checked mine in BelArc advisor. It tells you the chipset and what kind of bios but not the board. Bronson7
