Hi all, My computer stopped working the other day and I'm pretty sure that the motherboard died(It turns on but BIOS doesn't post). I'm getting a new mobo/cpu/ram combo to fix the problem. The items are here on newegg: Cpu: e7200 wolfdale core 2 duo...

Forever my slightly overclocked athlon 64 3200 venice @2100mh was getting temperatures around 45C idle, 51C under moderate load, and once up to 72C after a long bf2 war...65C is the highest temperature the cpu is rated as. that was with a $30 case and 2400rpm 120mm fan. Sometimes i would even...

Is there some sort of way to deactivate windows xp on one harddrive so I can install it on another? When I try to use my valid xp key to activate windows it says I have already installed it on another computer(which isnt even true, its just another harddrive) I guess there is a time limit on...

considering a RAM harddrive with all out specs still takes 30 seconds from startup to useability I kinda doubt you. Yes, its a harddrive that uses regular RAm modules as storage.

I'm using a an Asrock uli dual series socket 939 mb. It's obscure but there is probably an option like that in your friends bios. but like I said, whenever I try to switch it back to sata and boot windows it crashes because it doesnt have sata drivers, im not sure what this means though. good...

I had done that. but for some reason it still didnt work. fortunately, or unfortunately, I found an option in bios to run the sata drive as ide, windows installer recognized it and I was fine. (except I activated windows one to many times, but thats anothers story) I fear that was a bit of a...

I am trying to use both sata and IDE, but i didnt know that this was a problem. All I want to do is do some file transfers between the 2. It's a little late to be installing windows so I'll try that tommorrow and see if it works. It will be ok if after the installation I put the ide back in...

like I said, BIOS detected it immidiately, and even windows(on a different hd) did after some screwing around with the data lifegaurd tool that I got off westerndigital.com . Pauly: I dont see how setting up raid would help me unless you explain something. im just installing windows, not...

New update. I was right in that the sata drivers weren't on the xp installation. I have to make a floppy with the drivers as provided by the motherboard. It instructed me to put the floppy in when i installed xp. But it didnt work when I tried.:( Same problem, didnt even register as a...

I purchased a new western digital caviar 250gb sata2 HD(OEM). BIOS recognized it, windows recognized it after using the "setup your hd" tool I DLed. But when I tried to install windows xp on it the installer didnt even know it was there. My theory is that my windows installation cd doesnt have a...

I would suggest looking in the video cards 101 thread posted on this forum(it would be at the top of the page). it should give you a good idea what to look for in a video card.

I like all of the enthusiastic replies, but I dont want to listen to your opinion without factual backup. Why is the 6800gs a good idea? How is the x850xt faster? and of course no fanboyism.

I need to get a relatively good video card for gaming, but it has to be around $170 usd. I've narrowed it down to the 6800 GS and the Radeon X850XT (but any other suggestions are nice too). As you can see from the link they're about the same price. The x850xt has 4 more pixel pipelines but the...

OK. I'm looking for a pcie videocard below $170usd that can hold me out with moderate graphics for a couple of years. My current setup: Amd 64 3000 socket 939 512 mb patriot extreme performance(probably soon to be a gig) crappy CD/HD/video card I was thinking: Saphire...

ok. it turns out my HP does in fact have an apg slot so i stuck it in and poof I have the specs thanks to all who helped.

lol. The FCC didnt approve it. Although it does comply with Canadian Ices-003 Class b whatever that means.

hmmm. i'll try. anyway, Happy new year all!(assuming you live on the west coast)

yeah yeah i was thiking of doing that but its out of any system right now. i would put it in my computer but i'm not even sure if my HP has a apg slot.

I have a video card. I know it's a geforce 4 but I dont know the exact specs or manufacturer. How could I find out all that? Thank you for any light you can shine onto the problem.

ummm. That link takes me to a 78 dollar psu. Not a $25 one. And i have decided to get better memory.
