Just a small question, since I usually don't mess with bios options and don't feel like purchasing a new 4x512mb :) I'm confused (and I've done a few internet searches.. difficult thinking of a good search term) as to what exactly the "2-3-3-6" means.. I understand it's 4 seperate...

I went into the bios, and set it to 200mhz (I didn't THINK this was correct, but then again you guys know more than me)... cpu-z reported 100.5 Freq... SO, I went into the bios and set it to 400mhz (DDR400 means set to 400? Just a guess)... now I'm crusing along right next to my friend...

Howdy folks, I'm having a slight memory issue and was wondering if I could get a helping hand. The setup(s): My rig: Athlon 64 X2 3800+, Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, 4x512mb Corsair DDR400 PC3200 XMS Memory (seen here ) Friend's rig: Athlon 64 3000+, MSI K8N-NEO (i believe), and the exact same...

I understand the icon is normal, but that doesn't explain why it suddenly started to show up and why my system goes to "hourglass" every 4 seconds when i have the "safely remove hardware" window open. It's almost obvious that the harddrive has something crazy going on with it causing the...

I'm not sure, I don't believe I'm running the harddrive as a RAID. I'm currently doing a virus scan and crossing my fingers. Next step is to 100% remove Creative drivers/software and reinstall. I closed DLLML.EXE and my processor only constantly jumped 5% rather than 10-15%... so methinks...

as seen here link There are only 4 SATA slots on the regular A8N-SLI mobo. 4 Blacks

As begun in another thread where the original thought was a harddrive error... link to other thread Cliff notes: Installed Creative X-FI Xtreme Music (replaced Audigy), Installed 2x512mb DDR400 (have matching set existing). Noticed strange slowdown in WoW every 4 seconds framerate drops...

More update... might make a new post in processor forum to see if anyone can help figure this out. I just noticed my processor usage jumps 10-15% once a second, no matter what i'm doing or what is running in the background.

I edited my 2nd post slightly, didn't think you guys would reply so fast! Going to check the hot-swappable now. Also, how could I check to see if cache was disabled? Checked in device manager, don't see anything about swapping. Much like the lag I get in wow/"safely remove hardware" screen...

I appreciate your speedy response I have the basic A8N-SLI seen here link product specs from asus link And I'm slightly confused as to what you mean by "nvidia slots" and "sil SATA" ports. Also, the C:\ which is seen as removeable is a SATA drive so it seems you may be on to something...

Howdy howdy folks, I've run into a problem and i'm stumped. I've recently upgraded a few things and have ran into some speed bumps. ( I completely understand why this SOUNDS like a video card problem, but please just read and you'll see why I include seamingly unimportant details.)...

I am currently running BFG 6800GT OC in SLI on stock cooling. I recently discovered Coolbits and checked out the "Optimal Settings" and this was my result. 439/1.13 These seem a bit high from stock, anyone think this is too high to be safe?

I have a few extra computers laying around, almost enough spare parts to build a HTPC system sans a good tv tuner/video card. Most of my current setup/parts: -Toshiba 46H84 link to specs 46" televison (HDMI input) -Yamaha YHT-160 link to specs surround sound system -Gigabyte 7N400 (not...

On topic: My 2005FPW is perfect. No Issues at all Off topic/in reply to above: Had the exact same problem. Goto /my documents/battlefield2/profile/0001/video.con make a backup of that file, then delete the original. run battlefield. it's a bit distorted since the 2005FPWs resolution isn't...

I only got it down to $430 but hell, I'm more than happy with that :) Can't wait!
