LOL, I don't mean finding ATX specs, I mean finding what the darn mobo is in my computer! As of yet I have not found any info telling me specifically what form factor mobo an HP xw6200 workstation uses. The case is crammed with video, sound and networking cards, plus the monster heatsinks on...
Thanks, but after reading the sticky I still have not bee able to find out the mobo specs. I've googled lots of things trying to find the specs but not had luck. Any other system or mobo is easy, but this one seems to be hard to find at least with my limited resources. I'll keep digging...
Hi All,
I have an older HP xw6200 workstation that I'm considering doing a mobo/CPU/RAM upgrade to. It's currently running a pair S604 of Xeon 2.8ghz/800 FSB processors. I'm having trouble finding out what form factor the mobo is. HP calls it a "rackable minitower", whatever that means...
Thanks guys. If I added a video card later it would be a low end one, something like a 8600GT or maybe a 9500GT. It may on occasion see gaming with some older titles like Max Payne, original Call of Duty or Tiger Woods Golf. I have no intenetions of running the latest games. Would the PSU I...
Just remembered I can check old invoices on Newegg and I found my order with the PSU and case. Here are the models I bought.

I'll have to double check the case and PSU when I get home as I don't remember. Can't post here till tomorrow as we have no internet at home till Monday. I bought both off newegg and the PSU is only about 2 years old, has some of the newer style power connectors (it might be a Rosewill). The...
Hi All,
Have not posted here for a long time but was hoping the gurus here could help me. I mostly do editing on my PC with some occasional music / DVD ripping. I have an aging AMD S754 system I built that I'm looking to upgrade but due to a cash shortage I'm only going to be buying a new...
I just added 2x1GB of DDR 400 to my aging machine to squeeze some more life out of it, so I have up for grabs the old sticks that were in it. I have three 512mb sticks total, 2 are DDR400 and 1 is DDR266. All 3 were just pulled from a working system and are guaranteed not DOA. Prices below...
Cool. That's what I was hoping to hear. The laptop is brand new. I wasn't sure on this because when I hear "wireless", I always assume the service is being fed from a hardwired machine. Thanks for the response.
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked, search didn't turn up any results. My brother just purchased a laptop (his only computer) and wants to run a wireless internet connection to it. Is this possible using one machine? He can get cable modem service for sure and DSL is questionable. If this...
EDIT: Monitor has been sold, thanks.
I don't post much here so I don't have much feedback, never used heatware either. When I use ebay it's thru my wife's account at stfne9 if you would like to check feedback there.
I have for sale a like-new Samsung 204b monitor. This is a great gaming...
Hi all,
I'm at a loss here on what to do. I just upgraded my S754 Athlon 64 2800+ to a 3400+ model (Venice Core). Dropped the new CPU in, booted it up and it only shows 512MB of RAM (I have a Gig). I removed one of the sticks to see if it was faulty and then it only showed 256. For some...
Hi all.
I'm looking to get that last bit of steam out of my s754 system before I need a whole new rig. I'd like to get a 3400+ or 3700+ CPU if anybody is upgrading and looking to sell their old one for a reasonable price. Not overly concerned which core as long as it's a 2.4 ghz model. My...
I am selling a like-new 1 GB XD card that will work in just about any Fuji or Olympus camera (except some DSLRs) made in the last several years. This XD card was purchased as a second memory card for my old Fuji camera when we went on vacation. It was literally used one time then put back in...
A guy I built a system for is having some major virus / corruption problems with window and I think I need to format his hard drive and reinstall. He has files on there I need to copy off the drive before I format it. I tried pulling the drive an using it as an external USB but it doesn't show...
I don't have the machine in front of me so I'm going off memory here. I believe the options it gave for booting up were normal, safe mode, safe mode with networking, and a last known good setup option. The guy who owns the machine said he tried doing the repair/recovery with the CD and it...
I need help with a machine I built for a guy a few months ago. His machine will not boot windows at all. It will start the windows screen and after a few seconds it will reboot and start over. If I try to boot in safe mode or last known good mode it will immediately compile a list that looks...
Hi all,
I'm having some hang-ups installing XP on my external USB hard drive. Everything seems to install OK but after the drive format and install is where it has trouble. After installing and rebooting, the machine will act like Windows is starting but then a BSD pops up with error messages...
Yeah but I don't have adminstrative rights to actually install programs from that computer. The machine won't let me install anything which is why I need to run another system totally independent from all work-related software. Plus I think installing from that machine Windows would record...
Yeah I know it may not be the most honest way to do it, but.... I asked our IT guy about installing and he won't let me do it on their machine. I'm cool with that, he doesn't want licencing troubles so I dropped it at that. My view is that if I'm using my hard drive with my operating system...
This is exactly what I would like to do. I'm just concerned of possible conflicts from installing on one computer and then booting from another with totally different hardware.
