I've got a router/gateway machine running server 2k3 here. My experience with windows servers is a bit limited; I'm more used to openbsd and linux servers. Anyway, it's running fine as a router and everything seems great. It's using the DHCP and Routing and Remote Access services and it's...

I recently picked up two dvi-->hdmi cables for use with two of my computers. One of the setups is my htpc (with a gf4 ti4200 running win2k) running to a westinghouse 32" hdtv. It works beautifully going to the hdmi port. The other setup, however, does not. It's a 9600gso running win7 rtm...

I got win7 rtm from MSDNAA and I'm having a very bizarre issue trying to install it. When it gets to the part when it shows the hard disks it says "a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing" and prompts me to insert a disk or usb drive. I understand that this means it needs sata/raid...

I've come across a very bizarre problem on one of my rigs. Here's the specs: MSI P4M890M-L (basic 775 mobo, via chipset) E2140 2GB DDRII-667 Radeon X850XT-PE Sound Blaster Audigy Samsung 640GB In XP, the front usb ports work fine. On a linux livecd they also work. In Windows 7...

I know there have been a million threads about Win7 upgrades but they all end up digressing into pointless fighting about what will happen to people's XP keys. My question has nothing to do with this, so I started a new thread. I have two questions, though I realize it is entirely possible...

OK I've got a few things that I don't need anymore. I hate paypal, so I'd really love to just arrange a trade with someone. I know people love to trade things and many FS threads aren't looking for trades, but I am! what I have to trade EVGA 9600GSO 384MB. This is the good 96 shader one...

I have a Verizon SMT5800 (HTC Libra, whatever you want to call it) with the unlimited data plan and I've been quite happy with it. I know windows mobile 6 has some mixed reviews, but overall I really like it. Anyway, there is one annoyance: emails seem to take a completely random amount of...

I was at my local Gamestop today and they had a big bucket of old games on super-sale. Most of them were crap but there were a few copies of Hidden and Dangerous 2 for 99 cents. That's right, 99 cents. I loved the original H&D back in the day, but I don't really know anything about the second...

Ok here's the deal. I have a copy of Vista Business from MSDNAA at my university. The ISO that they gave us to download is, of course, the 32-bit version. I'm aware that the keys work for both 32 and 64 bit versions. However, if I wanted to install 64-bit using my MSDNAA key, what kind of...

Okay, here's the scenario. My girlfriend's computer's main drive is an old 120 GB seagate. It's starting to make some odd noises and hdtach performance is somewhat erratic across the drive. I'm starting to worry about the drive's health. SMART says its fine, but we all know that doesn't mean...

I'm at work and I've been handed a ~2000 record Access database to fix. It's a database of addresses for a mailing list and the problem is that whoever made the thing to begin with didn't realize that the mailing house only allows 59 characters per field, and some of them are longer than than...

I've got an old-but-damn-near-indestructible thinkpad x24 that's been serving me well for years. Well recently, I've been having an issue with the ac adapter: sometimes it will suddenly act like it's not plugged in (i.e. the power cable is still plugged in but the laptop says its running on...

okay, I'm looking for two things. 1. a socket A mobo. doesn't need to be anything spectacular, it just needs to be able to run an athlon xp 2000+ (tbred-a) and ddr ram. Oh and an agp slot would be nice. Doesn't need SATA or anything but if you've got one that has it then that would be...

hey there guys, I've got a few parts that I don't need. Cash is, of course, accepted but I'm also very interested in any trades. I'll entertain any offers. One thing I would like is a DVD burner. I also really want a 512mb pc133 laptop sodimm (for my old thinkpad). Here's what I've got...

Alright I've got a couple things for sale: 1. New Sapphire X850XT-PE. Fresh back from RMA. I sent them a regular x850xt, they sent me back a new shiny x850xt-pe. I'm not gonna complain. Because of this, it is bare card + DVI-->VGA adapter only (well, and a nice brown box with packing...

k, I have a rather odd request for something: I need an old radeon (less than or equal to a radeon 9250) card, and it must be PCI format with DVI output. I know it's a rather specific request, but I know what I want and that's it. Other than that I'm not picky...speed is not exceptionally...

okay, I've got a friend (and yes it actually is a friend...I'm not just saying that to cover for myself. I run linux anyway :p ) who is running a vlk version of windows xp pro using a pirated cd key. Through her school she got a legitimate version of windows xp pro via MSDNAA and she wants to...

I've got two things up for sale / for trade. 1. Zalman CNPS9500 - this is the normal one, not the special AM2 version. Comes in the original retail box with all of the original mounting hardware. $40 shipped. 2. Antec NeoPower 480W - great psu, never had any problems. Comes with all...

In all of the G80 hype I've seen nothing but people touting the amazingness of the new DX10 features, the new restyled "pipeline" design, and so on. However, it has left me wondering one thing: How does G80 process DirectX9 code? Surely DirectX9 doesn't know how to properly use the DX10-class...

Alrighty I really want a small form factor box or a mac mini. I'm not really picky at all...just anything that is very small and very quiet. AGP-based is fine, G4 mac minis are fine, just throw me some offers. If it's a SFF then it doesn't have to be complete...I just want at least the box /...

I've got a 512mb x1800xt here up for sale. Reason why? I hardly game any more, and my college coursework demands it stays that way. Had it since late June, never been OC'd or had anything funky done with it. Comes with all original items in mint condition, all of the accessories are even...

I've got a rather odd and specific thing that I'm looking for: a 512mb pc133 sodimm. you know, the old 144-pin non-DDR laptop ram. There's quite a few available on ebay but they're going for ~70 bucks, and I was hoping that perhaps someone here would have one availaible and would be willing...

Alrighty so I've got a Gigabyte X1800XT, 512mb version up for sale. It's the full retail version...comes in original retail box with all original stuff. Almost everything in the box is still unopened. Card was used for about a month. Everything looks brand-spankin-new. $285 shipped and...

Okay, so I've been messing around with my 560J a bit more and unfortunately I've discovered some interesting throttling characteristics of this particular chip. It starts throttling FAR before it should. According to Intel's sSpec for this chip (SL7Q2 ) it has a thermal guideline of 72.8C...

EDITED: NEW ITEMS Alrighty, I'm in need of money for my bills so it looks like I'm gonna sell off some of my toys :( Here's what I've got: 74G Raptor: Got it about a year and a half ago, SMART reports it in perfect condition. $120 and it's yours P4 560J: 3.6ghz stock. Been running...

I was curious as to what the members of this forum considered to be the best video game ever. Now of course "best" is a fairly subjective term...basically, I want to know what game gives you guys chilly-bumps when you hear the title theme and what game you would consider the pinnacle of gaming...

I've noticed some unusual activity on my thinkpad x24 when I'm in linux. Whenever my wireless connection (eth1) is up it constantly has network activity, no matter what. Even if no networking apps are open there is constantly ~10 KB/s of network activity (as measured by gkrellm) over my...

Well, yet another completely stupid and pointless computer product now bears Fatailty's namesake. clicky! Heh, I find the "features" section to be the funniest. For example: right. Because we know that mice consume so much bandwidth and have such delicate signals that USB2.0 and...

Seems as though I have a nice little gem of a P4 here...it's a P4 560J (which fortunately means it's an E0 not a D0 like most 5xx's) running on the stock cooler and, well, here's what it's got: I know it's got more in it too...it's just that if I go much higher (around 4.2ghz) I start to...

Okay, so I'm currently using an old box of mine as the router/firewall for my roommate and I in our dorm room. To start with, the network configuration is as such: RIT Network--------->Router---------->16-port hub-----|--computers...

Alright so I'm currently running a p4 560J on an Abit IL8 (945P). I know that 945P for whatever reason tends to be kind of a picky chipset about fsb speeds but this is a little ridiculous. The cpu and board run rock-solid prime-stable at 224fsb (which is just a tad over 4.0ghz) at stock...

alright I've got a couple of items for sale here. Antec Neopower 480: Awesome power supply. I originally got it last summer to power an SLI rig but that rig no longer runs sli so a lesser power supply will suffice. Comes with the original retail box and all original retail accessories. $70...

I've got a cpu / mobo / ram combo that is up for sale or trade. Items are as follows: 3200+ winchester - Nice cpu, has worked well for me. Not a particularly great overclocker (it's one of the notorious CBBID's) but it does do okay considering the stepping. Runs rock-solid at 2.5ghz, 2.6...

Alright, so I've come to a kind of saddening conclusion: I hardly game anymore. I barely play any games anymore, and so my poor 6800 ultras are sitting here untapped most of the time. So, I think it's time to pass them on to someone who will get better use out of them. I have two eVGA 6800...

Alright so I've always been a linux guy (Gentoo being my distro of choice) but in typical fashion I've gotten bored and want something new to play with. So I've been messing with freebsd recently but I've come across a snag. I'm sure it's easy to fix but I'm just not sure how to go about doing...

So I've been playing around on my dual P3 box and I decided to run cpu-z's cache latency tool, and it gives some interesting results. These are coppermines with 32kb L1 and 256kb full-speed L2. It reports those two cache sizes correctly, but it also reports a 128kb cache in between the two...

:( well, being a college student really takes a toll on one's wallet. I'm poor and really need money, so I guess it's time to sell of some off my capital. I'm afriad I'm going to have to sell my beloved IBM thinkpad 600e. It's in great shape...everything works perfectly, only minor scratches...

So I have a dual pentium III box sitting around here and I just recently decided I'd see exactly what these coppermines can do with this Tiger 100 (it actually gives FSB adjustments!) I have to admit I was surprised. System specs are as follows: Tyan Tiger 100. Dual slot 1, legendary 440BX...

I'm currently running the 81.85 drivers, and SLI seems to be *somewhat* functional, but not entirely in FEAR. By default it uses SFR, which for the most part seems to work, but whenever certain types of things are in the scene (like water, for example) the bar just sits at the bottom of the...
