anyone got this combination working?
i know this might not be a good place to ask since everyone here seems to have $200 motherboards, but this is freaking driving me nuts.
the board is i865PE with IDE and 2 SATA1 controllers (not raid) and i have 2 ide hd running win xp sp2.

Hi,
I was just wondering if it would be worth it buying a 920 now and overclocking it, or wait for a low end conroe? The lower end conroes are single core though, aren't they?
i am using a new antec neohe 380W psu and system consisting of:
P4 1.8 @2.5
9800 pro
512Mb ram
1 HDD
1 DVD-rom
1 80mm fan
1 zalman vga cooler fan, and 1 stock cpu fan
with this set-up i managed to burn out a cheap oem psu when gaming at 12x10 that dragged down the 3.3V rail. it used...
Anyone here using high end nVidia cards and playing AOE3 and noticing the opening sequence is stuttering?
(The opening sequence bit where the dice is rolled out, that swirling black globe comes out, and the 'Nvidia, the way it's meant to be played' parts)
for these parts, i get random...
i used to use a p4t533 but it died recently so i spent a small bit to just buy some ram and the p4p800-x. All other components in my system are the same as before.
However, using the p4p800 my 12V and 3.3V line is fluctuating by around 0.2V whereas it was dead stable before. Does this mean...
i have a leadtek 6800le and have always used the dvi output for my main display.
it was only when i wanted to add a second display (with the vga out) that i realised when the vga connector was plugged in my machine wouldn't boot.
then i noticed that in windows xp, where in hardware manager...
i just bought a new leadtek 6800le. it runs at 300/700 stock. unfortunately none of the pipes and shaders unlock.
i played AoE3 on it for around 2 hours at a time and everything is fine.
however, when i play F1, it will hang after about 5 minutes. temps and all look fine.
i ended up...
hi all,
i would just like a quick consensus on which heatsink is best for a p4 2.8?
i really like the looks of those zalman flower thingies, but i would prefer a quiet heatpipe type design like thermalright's.
which type of design is best? i would like a quiet pc, so the fan has to be...
could anyone tell me if this is a vivo card?
it says on the site that it has a tv encoder, but doesn't mention that it can take video in? is the encoder only good for digital media?
been a bit lost with all these new cards. i'm using a 9800pro, that's on it's last legs for some reason.
as i understand it the 6600gt has ddr3 whilst the 6800 does not.
the 6800 is still more expensive i think, but which one is the better card?
i would suspect the 6800 has better...
i have a 9800pro and sometimes when i turn on the pc the display is either checkered or has verticle lines all across the screen.
my card is not o/c-ed (and in fact i have now lowered it from stock to see if it would help but it hasn't).
when this happens i must switch off the pc and...
Does anyone know why my p4p800 with maxtor diamondmax 8 hd only support udma 2? Is this normal? I thought that it would be udma 5?
In the bios it shows that the hd only supports udma 2 also.
I am using the hd cable supplied with the mb.
Any help would be apprieciated.
thanks
