Sorry, I was referencing the GMH chips which were so coveted just two months ago. Now everyone wants X's Fatbody's is that what they are? Anyhow, Fold On everybody.

It sounds like your MOBO has issues with 4GB. Did you up the MCIH voltage a bit? With 4GB of ram it puts more load on the controller.

Perhaps its that Memory Hole for PCI MMIO BIOS setting like the other guy today. Try enabling that :-)

lol, yes overpriced burning poo in other words.

Ok, 32 Bits (11111111111111111111111111111111) = 4,294,967,295 (Or 4 Gigs as we call it) A 32 Bit OS can see 4 GB of RAM. Now, depending on your physical peripherals, The OS will map some of that ram address space to them to keep thing linear. My Physical available RAM is 3.4 GB. Many...

Yeah 2.8 sounds too high!

I dont know what your Vista booting problem is. I think loosening the timings is a good idea. Try it. If Orthos runs 10 minutes its usually, but not always stable. Vista might be using some memory that flakes out on it during boot or it might be confused. My guess is that reinstalling will...

To Me, 64 Bit is nice for Office, Development, Server etc. But for Games, its a tradeoff. Plus you have to run 32 bit browser for Flash to work. Its sort of Akin to running Windows 2003 vs XP. BORING! lol. If Vista was fine before, but is hanging now, your system may be unstable. Even though...

With 4GB and stock volts, they may not work. Mine do though. I would set them at their rated timing and voltage and then if Memtest doesnt work, RMA them. If you want to get them to work you might have to up the voltage on RAM as well as the Northbridge. Do both pairs work by themselves? If...

I have mine turned off and can not see it because it is not there. Yes, it sits on C:\ root of the drive unless you move it.

Ok, you two do NOT have the same problem. You have different problems. Well, solutions anyways, your problems are sort of the same. Person one with 2GB in post. Pull them all out and reboot. Then put them all back in and see if it posts with 4GB. Might want to clear the CMOS or something. The...

My CB RAM will not run at the rated 4-4-4-12 1GHZ rated speed without crapping out unless I raise the NB Volts to 1.625 and the RAM to 2.2. Too hot for my blood. I have em around 880 at 4-4-4-14 on 1.56 / 2.1 they are about 4 months old now. I have 4GB which makes a difference.

I can see the picture. It shows that the IHS doesnt quite mate with his block. On a fresh IHS, all you have to do is look at it to tell it is not flat. If you are lucky, it will be bowed out (convex)so that mounting your cooling block will squish it in. If you are not lucky, it will be caved in...

There is no such thing as "Overkill". My PC is about 1% of how fast I want it to be. And when it is 100 times faster, I’ll want it 100 times faster again. Anyhow, There is no doubt this is a gimmick. Something to introduce prior to 45nm and the stock speed benches on this thing...

Folding at home would be faster running on all 4 cores. I run mine 24x7 on water at 70 degrees.. err make that 75 geez its getting hot in here.

Yeah, they suck. If you are going to 3.6 and beyond with that thing, I see many hours of sanding in your future.

I cant clock mine that high. At 2.2 volts, 1.6 on the NB, I can get them up to there 1000 speed at 5 5 5 15 but not Orthos stable. I keep them at 825 or so :-( Which totally sucks. I can run the FSB up a bit and run them at 950 or so but then dang, My CPU smokes! And lowering the CPU multiplier...

They are on Intels site. Hard to miss. http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Filter_Results.aspx?strOSs=38&strTypes=all&ProductID=2578&OSFullName=OS%20Independent&lang=eng&sType=prev

500 is a weird amount of money for an office display. I like HP's 20" but the font is a bit small for older eyes in 1600 * 1200. I would step up to a 24" for a bit more money.

I can remember when reinstalling windows was a weekly ocurance around my house. Seems to be much better now though. I still think there may be a lot of people who do clean installs just to have a clean machine. I guess those folks should reinstall every 30 days so they never have to activate it.

Well, Tabbed browsing was not invented by the folks who wrote err cobbled together Firefox from the ashes. And IE7 is not MS's first attempt at tabbed browsing. So, where this comes from I don't know. One things for certian Firefox was the first app to kick MS in the pants so to speak. I wish MS...

Oh Man, Those cards overheated so bad and poof. ATI should be ashamed of themselves still. But then there have been a few NVIDIA based cards from XFX and others that blew up a lot too. I may buy one of these ATI afterburners this summer after a few folks test them out.

I use IE7, it looks better than firefox and has less bugs.

I dunno then. Probably something new in Vista broke the compiler. Probably broke all compilers though.

There is nothing on the GCC site about this. Perhaps hes using the wrong memory model. :-) I dunno, hes compiling C code under DOS on Vista in all instances. There are about 500 bug reports with Vista and thousands with XP. Bugzilla is a better app then the GCC compiler it seams lol.

It is not all GCC compilers. Just the DOS C compilers.

No, theres more people now who can't see the benefit and dont like the hassle involved with the upgrade. The PC is a toaster now. Im amazed you can upgrade at all. At some point people will only be able to buy prepackaged PC's at Wal-Mart. Certified to run like crap but JP doesnt know the...

It looks like it affects some old DOS C Compilers. Stuff happens. It's easy to write a backward compatible OS if it never moves forward. I dont see a fix coming anytime soon. He might have to break down and write Win32 software.

This is weird. I can;t verify it one way or the other but from the tone of the article, there is no doubt more to it that an arbitrary limitation.

The above plus, Its like Java. You need to Install the Java run time environment to run some Java apps. So, you need to install the .Net framework to run .Net apps. It takes up disk space but other than that it doesnt seem to do any harm.

Some people feel that if MS did not put any DRM software in the OS than they could play back their media without DRM. I have, on ocasion, had conversations with a few Apple afficianados. Their understanding is that Vista somehow adds DRM to their music. This is an obvious misconception but it...

Thts the best description of putting on those pushpins I have seen so far. Push hard till your fingers hurt. Once it is locked in it will not move. If it isn't locked in it will be sloppy and move around when you push it. I have an E6400 that idles at 30 degrees in a hot room. Your tems seem way...

Just before Christmas. I got an email in January saying that my paperwork wasnt any good. I sent a NewEgg invoice for a new PC I boght in parts. I never followed up with them on it and it just came.

I just got one last week from New Egg. It has the IPS panel. Nice monitor. Bit small for me but my eyes are not that great anymore. I like the muted natural look to images rather than the in your face poping unrealistic colors. I use it for text editing mostly though.

Mine showed up in the mail on Saturday, last week. It is Vista Business OEM FULL, not upgrade. I installed it a couple of times allready without activating. Still fooling around with drivers, Dual booting, and VMWare etc. I just got an email confirmation today saying it was shipped. Modus...

After having lived with SQL Server since 4.2 using VB3 as a front end and moving to VB4, 5, 6 and on to .Net with SQL Server 2005, I have to say that Installing SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio .Net is by far the most complex thing MS has ever done in terms of obfuscation. I can see why we are...

I have issue number three. Im thinking it might be an oversensitivity to refresh rate being slightly off or power fluctuations or something.

9. Blank signal for a second problems on DVI. Seems to be a common problem that some users claim can be fixed by buying a better DVI cabled and not using the BenQ supplied one. However, at least two users are using an expensive DVI cable and still have the same problem. This seems like a huge...

I have the BeNQ at home and for software development I prefer two 19" monitors.

Im just pointing out that on XP, My NVIDIA Drivers dont take a reboot to install. Which I find amazing cause every other driver takes a reboot. I think the reboot is more of a driver installation issue than an OS issue at this point. Its much easier to write an install routine that includes a...
