    Configuring 2 monitors on old ati pci gfx card

    I think u may be onto something... If I take the mouse cursor to the top of the VGA screen the picture "slides" up and I can see the very top of a window. I can also do this going side to side. It is as if the monitor is zoomed in and I am not able to see all of the picture on the screen at...

    Configuring 2 monitors on old ati pci gfx card

    Hey ya XP is basically lying to me saying the VGA screen is at 1600x900. I've tried other resolutions like 1280x768 and the DVI screen goes to that and again XP says the VGA screen is at that too...but it remains looking the same at that low res. I called ATI and the support guy said...

    Configuring 2 monitors on old ati pci gfx card

    I am trying to run dual monitors on a powercolor ATI radeon 7000 32MB PCI video card in a dell dimension 4700 desktop PC. The onboard intel gfx have been disabled by me in device manager. I am trying to run 2x 20" wide screen LCDs (by LG) that have a native resolution of 1600x900. One is...

    e5200 + P35 DS3L not getting along

    So an interesting twist...with everything at stock settings. So I unplugged my 160GB SATA Samsung HDD. I used an old 120GB Seagate HDD and put XP on it. So far its running great. No trouble loading BF2 so far, loaded up right in 5 / 5 tries. Gonna run it for 7 days.

    Heat Issues with Opty 165

    AS5 also has a "burn-in" time that it needs in order to settle and give optimal results. I would also check and make sure the HSF has been 100% installed correctly.

    Okay so I have an update on where I am at. First, sorry for the delay in posting back, been real busy lately. Okay so I *have flashed* the BIOS to F5. It was a flawless flash with absolutely no hiccups. Sadly, it has not improved my stability. I am running at stock speeds and voltages...

    e5200 + P35 DS3L not getting along

    Thanks for replying. Flashing the BIOS to F8 will be my next move. Quick edit here. Turns out my board is the GA EP35-DS3L. So the latest non-Beta BIOS is F5 not F8. I will flash to that one later tonight and then report back.

    Post your "rate my cables" here

    Nice work with the wires Cornelius. Thats a darn nice interior for an A900. Can I ask why you put the DVD drive and HDD so close together? It looks like it might have made wiring better at the expense of airflow.

    Wondering who has burnt up a S939 X2 cpu?

    I still have an X2 3800+ running on my s939 DFI Ultra-D. It's not a great overclocker. 2.5GHz max but for now I'm at 2.4GHz. Got it used, had it for about 1 year now. Pretty happy with it still.

    is thsi an ok cheap psu

    Yes that is a fairly good PSU. It may not be the quietest PSU out there but it is far from a generic brand. OCZ has great customer service as well, so in case the worst happens, RMA'ing it will be no biggie.

    Have u cleaned all the dust / dirt off? You should post some more pics to show us how bad the factory paint job has been damaged. I'm so jealous, I can't stand up right now. I'd trade u my Antec PV1000AMG but its an ugly grey and worth all of maybe $15.

    Temps went UP after changing to AS5?

    Give the paste a lot of time to break in. I found my idle temps took about a month to drop (well over 200 hrs of use). I went from AC MX-1 paste to AS 5.

    VF 700 on an 8800GT

    I'm not sure how much better a Vf-700 will do compared to stock cooling on an 8800GT. I hope ur talking about the all Cu version too. It might work okay but for sure that Vf-700 fan is gonna have to run at 12v. About the VRMs... do you have a nearby front intake fan? If u do that should...

    8800 GS or 9600 GT?

    Uh it's not gonna matter too much those cards are all pretty close. I like that 9600GT cooler b/c it takes the hot air right out of the case. I say get it. Be sure to register it within 30 days to get EVGA's lifetime warranty too!

    8800 GS or 9600 GT?

    Of those 3, I'd say the 8800GS is the best card for your money. $110 is good price. What resolution do u intend to use? If 1920x1200 or higher I would look at a 512MB card, other wise the 8800GS for sure.

    Hey better a cat in the centre then a gun. Unless its a "laser cat!" (An SNL reference for any current SNL fans out there). Looks like a really nice room to be totally honest. I like the colour of the desk/shelves, the paint choice, tiled floors, etc... Rock on man.

    NeoPower 480 outlived?

    Hey I'll weigh in on this one. I will certainly not recommend a Thermaltake. I have used Tt products elsewhere (heatsinks and fans) and was simply not impressed with the performance or noise. I would expect a PSU built by Tt to be pretty loud. Every Tt fan I've used has needed to be volt...

    My pictures of the Cooler Master 690 (the new $50 uber-case!)

    metalhead, that is some excellent wire management right there. By far the cleanest CM 690 so far in this thread. Great work. Did you make any additional cuts to the motherboard tray to make your wires neater? Yours case just blows away everyone else's wiring, thats why I ask.

    OC'd e2160 + msi p35 plat rebooting during overnight orthos

    I recently won an NZXT Adamas from 3Dgameman.com and thought I might as well show the monstrous difference between the Adamas and some of NZXT's early pre-mod tackiness. This case is gorgeous in subtle ways and has great airflow in addition to superb functionality. The all aluminum finish...

    AMD 64 3200+ vs Pentium 4 630 3.0GHz which one should i buy?

    I'm pretty sure a stock AMD XP 2800+ would lose to a P4 630 if both were formatted then tested on a fresh install of Windows XP. Also in 3D gaming test your ATi 9550 will handidly beat an X300. So try not to exaggerate. I'm sure a fresh install on an AMD XP 2800+ would feel faster than a...

    AMD 64 3200+ vs Pentium 4 630 3.0GHz which one should i buy?

    S754 is old school...no dual channel RAM capability. Also higher temps due to 130nm process. Then add a crappy quality Foxconn mobo into the system. Yikes I wouldn't even bother. That Intel is a total waste. Save your cash and buy the $100 am2 X2 3600+ combo. That's a much wiser investment.
