The drivers I installed came with the card. It is Windows XP home edition, SP 2. I have updated windows completely. I tried it before and after the update, same results. I just noticed that I had an error report after it shut itself down(unbeknownst to me) saying there is a driver problem...

I originally posted this in the vid card section, but know I am getting the same error message when trying to update the chipset drivers. I thought I would go ahead and seek an answer here, too: I just put together a new computer for a friend of mine. I have put a few computers together...

I just put together a new computer for a friend of mine. I have put a few computers together before, and never had any problems. This is the first one I've put together in a year and a half. I got everything installed and up and running.yesterday. Asus A8N-SLi board, A64 3500 CPU, 1G Patriot...

I just posted this combo on another thread. I'll put it up again because it's a good setup, especially for the money. Chaintech VNF3-250: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-152-043&depa=0 AMD64 3000+...

I just set my sister up with a s754 setup. For a mobo and cpu it comes out to 220 plus shipping. It was a Chaintech VNF3-250 and a A64 3000+. It's faster than my Barton 2500+ at 3200 speeds. I am jealous. I would suggest spending the extra $30 and going a64. Price v. performance you are better...

Opteron is for the server and workstation market. The FX series are the top of the line home user CPU, badass but expensive. Regular Athlon64 is the mainstream CPU.

I posted in the mobile computing forum but got no response. Just a quick question. The DVD-ROM in my wife's Acer Travelmate 290 just stopped reading discs. It spins, but thats it. Can I put in any DVD drive designed for notebooks? Will it work? We are taking leave in two days and have a long...

My wife has a Acer Travelmate 290 notebook. We are going on leave in two days and have a long drive ahead of us. She wanted to bring the computer to watch DVD's. I put a DVD in the drive today, and it won't read it. It spins the disc, but it won't read anything. The warranty expired a month ago...

I have had no problems getting the game to play. No problems with lag and I get a pretty good ping in game. I think the game is allright, but I've never been a huge fan of deathmatch-style games. I played for a while to see how it was. I will probably play a little more but am waiting with...

Yeah, it happens to me. It started when I was playing Day of Defeat, then started happening almost every time HL2 crashes, now after HL2 released, it does it in CS:S sometimes. I'm starting to think the audio stuttering for some people is actually a steam problem, since CS crashed the other day...

Actually, I just got this burner yesterday at BB if you are talking about the 716A. With $30 mail in came to $109+tax. It's SWEET! :D

Why don't you get the 9835? It sounds better and the display is much nicer. Looks great in my truck. Sounds even better!

I didn't know NV made a 9800 class. Maybe you mean 5800?

I want to go with a 3500+ 90nm CPU. Which one of these boards will work with the 90nm chip right out of the box? Later down the road I will want to overclock, but for now I want it to work and be stable. If all of these will work out of the box no problem, it will come down to a performance and...
