    And that's how I repaired a 400W Power supply

    Well, first off, the make is an Antec SmartPower 2.0. Not the best PSU out there. First thing's first: My neighbor's PC was trying to start up. You could see the red LED blink dim. The board's green led was pulsing. I automatically found out that the PSU is dead. Needless to say, I come in...

    Building a PC for me. Opinions.

    Actually, I am looking for the ATX Desktop market. I'm going to do this because it will be better for the things I do. All the controls are in front of me. Although, I preety much like the build of it :) But, I think I'll go with a MicroATX Board. Let me get one, and I'll get back o you...

    AMD - socket F

    You could buy a quad core and insert two quad cores on the board if you wish. It's a basic rule of thumb.

    Building a PC for me. Opinions.

    Praetor, I should of thought of a budget :P I also am aware that Newegg doesn't ship in Canada. I use it for the item selections. I make an estimate with Canadian conversion. I can pay 50 buck more from the estimate. The budget is 750 MAX. But, I've made a list. I think it's a better thought...

    Building a PC for me. Opinions.

    :eek: How did I let that go? Okay, let me get another one. I looked at the price, that's why :P EDOT: there's the board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813185083

    Building a PC for me. Opinions.

    Ok, first off, those stuff is selected with precision. Since I don't play the high-end games, this build is meant for N64 and lower, along with UT2004. I know my old 1.33 machine (Second in sig) played with a Geforce 4 MX 4k with no problems. The board I though is this one...

    I think this keyboard is SICK

    I'm not too found of virtual keyboards. I might end up hitting more than one key at the time. It's not an easy thing to use, and once you figure it out, you'll see that it's not as performent as a keyboard.

    Windows xp hard drive logo

    I'd check for viruses/spyware. It's odd to say, but a friend had a problem like that, exept it was all the icons. It ended up being a virus. although, you could run a scan to repair corrupt files. Start>Run sfc /scannow

    DVD Video on RW-DVD

    It also depends on the quality of the reader. Mine is a cheap thing and takes forever to read a single CD.

    I miss my plextor :(

    Does that application allows the flashing of firmwares in HDDs? I have one that lost his.

    DVD Video on RW-DVD

    It depends on what quality is te media. I have several issues with my LG burning DVD9R from Kodak and not recognising what's in it after it's done. It also depends on the burning software you're using. Now, to answer the question of the thread starter, it is possible to burn RWs with...

    AMD - socket F

    I'd say yes because there's two. The socket is not having it's own intelligence. It's there to house and hold the CPU in place. The one that will state what types of CPU goes in is the chipsets.

    Only 131GB on 250GB HDD?

    Actually, it could be a jumper issue. Make sure your HDD has the jumper set as Master, not Capacity Limitation setting.

    Looking for a MB for new Gaming PC...

    That's just crazy! 5GHZ! I was lucky to push mine at 3.8GHZ, but the BIOS hung...RMA. Actually, the DS3 has great features. I own a very old Gigabyte (Slot 1, GA-BX2000) and the key thing I like is the Dual BIOS. The only drawback: No second PCI-E, so no SLI.

    Intel D975XBX2 vs. the ASUS P5B deluxe….P965 vs. 975X

    To my opinions, the Bad Axes 2 from Intel (THe board you mentioned) is intended for extreme gaming...apparantly. The OC features lack. The P5B is more affordable and I love the flexibility on this kid. It's able to do anything with efficiency, and has support for Quad core...which the Bad Axe...

    Post Your Desktop "Background screenshot"

    How do I know that? On the sidebar of yours, it says XP, and basically, most people with another partition or drive with a XP label usually means that there's another OS in there ;) On the average PC, I've seen disastrous performance. My P4 system is actually able to keep up, but not as...

    I miss my plextor :(

    Wasn't there a locking to do before you flashed firmware? You could of gotten another board for them, but yeah...that's not easy. Indeed. A lot of PCs and I have to name them. I can't say my PII, because there's many. I'll name them all if you want (In order in sig) Ernesto Simon...

    I miss my plextor :(

    Actually, I also have a Samsung on Simon (Second in sig) and it actually takes longer to burn than my LG DVD-RAM in Ernesto (First in sig) It really depends how your system is set, but if you have a performance loss, it could be that the burner isn't burning at correct speeds or that the...
