Nethack has taught me to respect, nay, worship the RNG!

Whoa, haven't posted here in a while :D So I updated my gaming rig with an MSI 4870 1GB and am moving my x1900xt over to another system. I hooked up the 4870 with HDMI to my 37w3 (few years old now) and I've got just a little bit of overscan on the left hand side, maybe 5 pixels, with a black...

I just installed Vista tonight and ran into a similar problem, on 64-bit Vista with an x1900xt. In the device properties, the error is a Code 12, saying the device could not find enough free resources to start. I installed Vista, downloaded the ATi driver, and installed that, literally before...

Yeah, the previous motherboard had nvidia soundstorm, and I distinctly recall that it had DD live output; that's what I must have used when it was hooked up to the receiver. I have another computer with a Turtle Beach Catalina in it, I'll have to see if that is capable of doing what I do. Worst...

So I downloaded ac3filter and set the output to SPDIF, so now I can pass through Dolby Digital and DTS surround from DVDs directly to the receiver. Games are still stuck in stereo...I read something on another forum that indicated it might be necessary to use analog outputs on the PC to get...

So my trusty Ligitech z560's bought the dust, and I got a real receiver (Pioneer VSX-815) and speakers. My motherboard is an A8R32-MVP deluxe with Realtek HD audio, and I've used an optical cable to connect it to the receiver. I can get stereo sound, but no center or surround channels come...

Hope I'm ready for the game, I waited to order my system until just a few weeks ago: Opteron 165 at 2.5ghz, 2x1GB Corsair PC500, A8R32-MVP, Asus X1900XT, Raptor 150GB, and my trusty 213t 1600x1200. Can you tell I'm excited for this game? Custom samurize config: Click for desktop

So here's what I'm planning to get: Asus A8R32-MVP (wish I'd pulled the trigger last night when they were in stock for $225) Opteron 165 - planning to OC as far as I can go Zalman CNPS7700 Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000SWA - not married to this case, what I really wanted was an all-aluminum...

So i built this system for my friend a few months ago, and ran into problems originally while overclocking, and ended up leaving it with a moderate overclock - no problems since. Tonight we were going to overclock it further, as I'd been successful with another system and learned a couple...

So a few weeks ago, I posted this thread. Long story short, I had a BSOD and in the process some weirdness happened to the file system that made me unable to boot with my 120GB SATA drive attached (not the OS disk, just storage). I figured WTF and ordered this enclosure in the hopes that I could...

afternoon bump. I'm gonna guess no one has used these, so I'll probably just bite the bullet and order it at the end of the weekend if nobody comments.

So something weird happened to one of my SATA hard drives (a WD 120GB) when I got a BSOD earlier today, and now my computer won't boot with the drive attached. I tried unplugging it, booting into WinXP, and then plugged the SATA cable back in, yielding another BSOD. I don't think there is...

Yeah, that's why I'm hesistant to plop down cash for Konfabulator. Menumeter is quite sufficient to get me by for now. Hell, it's always present, which is definitely an advantage over even what Dashboard could do, or using Expose to view the desktop.

Thanks guys, MenuMeter it is. It's almost perfect, the only other feature I'd like to see is multiple network interface support. I'd heard of Konfabulator before and just didn't remember it. I'll probably play around with it down the road, but for now it's free software for me (Mr. Jobs cleaned...
