I've been trying to find a way without crashing my system to dual boot XP 32-bit, and Vista 64-bit. I can't install Vista from inside XP, since it's a 64 bit O/S and errors at me. But i've read that when people booted from the CD and installed on a 2nd partition, they got some errors. Any advice...

Anyone?

I'm having some troubles at work with my USB ports. This is nearly a brand new computer, been working fine for a month or so now. This just started up today. The front USB ports in my case are no longer functioning, which are hooked into the motherboard USB headers. And 3 of the four USB ports...

I've recently installed a new system. Working great, no problem with it. The problem i'm having is with my old system.. which was working fine until recently. It's been sitting for a few days, i had it working last week while i was transfering files, etc. And i fired it up today to transfer some...

As part of an issue i'm having with my 8800, the game devs i'm working with say that the issue i'm reporting (lag in a certain game) is caused by inadequate power to the card. Which is a 8800GTX, with two PCI-E 6 pin power connectors. My power supply, which is a Thermaltake 850W - quad-sli...

Yeah, already tried reducing the options in-game, and in the nvidia control panel. Tried 3 different versions of drivers, including the just released 165.01 forceware, and the XTreme-G 158.16 drivers. No help at all. I've also installed every driver from 97.02 and newer, hoping for some...

I'm experiencing heavy lag/frame rate drop in The Matrix Online, when i go indoors i get a huge FPS drop, stuttering, just really bad lag. When outside, the game runs great and smooth. This problem was not present in my old 6600GT, and it appears to be a global issue with anyone who plays with...

Thanks for the responses and insight, really. I almost wasted a lot of money without even justifing it. I've come to understand the bases of what you're saying and how the math works out, and that kept on a 1:1 ratio, clocking the FSB to 600 to get 1200mhz out of the ram is impossible because...

Alright, help a n00b out here with this then. Let's say i buy an ASUS P5N32-E nforce 680i as the motherboard. (Marketing says DDR2 800) For the processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz What would you recommend as the most efficient memory speed to use in here? (overclocked or...

:confused: I'm lost. Basically, memory will only run at the motherboard's specs, unless you overclock it? If this is so, why is there all this high speed memory, and no motherboards except for a very select few that support it?

I'm looking for a new motherboard to put in a system, however in my searches i've become a bit confused on what memory will work in what motherboard. Most motherboards, with the exception of the latest EVGA boards which say DDR2 1200, say they will only support up to DDR2 800, yet there are a...
