    Floppy Drive Issue: Diskette not being recognized

    Hello, A problem that has been driving me nuts: In "my computer" I double click on the A: drive to go into it and I get an error message saying "Please insert a disk into drive A:" when there already is one in there. The mobo is Tyan Thunder K8WE. The tech said it's a faulty floppy port...

    Changing the default install directory - Question

    Yeah I gotta tell yeah everyone told me how noisy the 74gb would be but man I don't think it goes above a whisper persoanlly...same goes for my 650w psu, both very quiet in comparison to their beefiness. And yes, it is a faaaast drive! Apps and OS boot up in a blink.

    Changing the default install directory - Question

    Ok, that's great advice thank you. I also like having two physical drives split the way you do but I was short on cash so I could only get the raptor for now :( Will pick up another hard drive next week definitely. So for now I will store everthing on the Raptor - OS, apps and games; PLUS...

    Changing the default install directory - Question

    Well here is what I did. I have a 74gb Raptor and when I installed windows I partitions 10gb for the C: drive where I would keep the OS. The rest of the drive is my D: where I keep apps and games. Please tell me if you think there are flaws with that plan and if that is indeed what makes the...

    Changing the default install directory - Question

    Haha - I know you are trying to be helpful and I appreciate it, but I SWEAR that when I install AIM it doesn't give me a choice. I mean, I have to install it tonight so I'll check but I'm pretty sure I was trying to do it and getting very frustrated with it for not giving me an option. I'll...

    Changing the default install directory - Question

    I am referring to the install path for windows which is C: by default. AIM in fact does NOT give you the option of choosing another drive - it install automatically to C:. I think there is a reason to do it as well - if nothing mre than for personal preference and the fact that I like to keep...

    Changing the default install directory - Question

    I know you can change it in the registry from C: to what ever you want, but then how do you deal with it messing up your Outlook express and other app whose default install directories are C:? Further more how do you fix the Outlook Express problem? I have tried changing the path in the...

    I'm miffed!

    Do any mobo's support dual FX-55's?

    I'm miffed!

    I have heard that was well about P4 being better for 3ds max and 3d in general. Having high amounts of RAM will not affect my latency will it? I mean, I will mostly likely go with Corsair.

    I'm miffed!

    I said gaming AND 3d animation ;) Sorry for the confusion anyways. Dual FX-55's? 2 f'n grand+? Let's do it.

    I'm miffed!

    LOL ok, I may be going insane noob with all that RAM - I totally just figured bigger and more = better. So it seems that you guys think the AMD FX-55 wiht regular DDR RAM is the way to go? Remeber I will be using programs like 3ds max as well SO I would like to get at least 4gb of RAM...

    I'm miffed!
