I haven't posted in a while, but my for sale list has been updated. I also have a PCI Express wireless G Card and some other misc. hard drives. SATA 160GB, IDE 200GB, etc..etc.. If interested, PM me.
You need to uninstall the Nvidia drivers before attempting to install the ATI card... Run the uninstaller with the PCI Card in, Shutdown... Make sure you change the BIOS do display AGP First, NOT PCI... Save BIOS Changes, Shutdown... Swap Cards, install ATI Drivers... Should work..
You'll need a 1/8" mini jack to y rca adapter for most normal sound cards.
If you already have the RCA Cables, this $2 adapter would be perfect.

For the video card, you'll need to make sure...
Updated AMD64 3000+ price... $25 Shipped... This stuff is still here... I might be donating the 1.4Ghz Athlon and MB... keep a look out if no one wants it..
R.I.P. Abit.
Your company brought some good things to us. I've played many games and built many PC's with Abit motherboards. Abit was always my "goto" motherboard.
I'm on my first INTEL board after moving from the AMD processors, maybe i'll stick with them now...
Got my XFX 8800GT yesterday. It barely fit into my microfly ATX case, but it is AWESOME!! Man, All my games are like new again. Call of Duty 4, Battlefield 2, Day of Defeat Source.... I can play all my games maxed out, high settings, and they look incredible... the FPS in COD4 shows 120+...
Thank you all for the responses. I made my purchase today.
I did some further reading and I've seen mixed results with ALL video card manufacturers.
I ended up going with an XFX 512MB 8800GT. After rebate and shipping, only $148 if you live in an egg tax free state.
I chose XFX mainly...
I've seen mixed results on the forums around here about different brands.
I'm about to upgrade to an 8800GT I'm pretty sure (possibly 9600GT at last minute), but probably an 8800GT...
There are various rebates and different prices online with different brands.
I have a Leadtek 6600 now...
I'm in the same predicament....
I had a AMD 3000+, 1GB PC3200, and a 6600... I kept thinking, Video Card or System, Video Card or System....
I ended up waiting, waiting, waiting, and FINALLY! 3 years later, I upgraded to...
Intel C2D E8400, 2GB DDR2 800 in Dual Channel Mode, RAID 0+1...
TheGooch69,
My first 802.11G router was crap when it was "newer" in 2003. It eventually got better with many firmware updates and they ended up coming out with better hardware revisions after finally finalizing the standard.
The Linksys WRT54G's are good proven solid routers now, BUT...
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the 4 pin was an Intel thing when they first started coming around. As processors became faster AMD also ended up using the connector. I've seen PC's boot without it connected, but if the connector is on the motherboard, plug it in.
I always recommend the MEIZU miniplayers. Only 8GB max, but they do video and have a touch pad on them too.... It just scrolls up and down instead of going in a circle like apples...
WOAH. I said it was fixed. It's now even acting CRAZIER after the update. It's showing my processor at 46 now instead of 73, but the temperature still goes down while my motherboard temp goes way UP.
Intel has some temp things to fix...... I'm installing other software now...
OLD...
Thanks for the replies.

I'm going to update the BIOS here shortly. No other CPU's to use. I came from an AMD only kind of computer world, but I'm liking the Intel so far. I might buy a new heatsink.
skizzled
I haven't tried another monitoring utility, I assumed it was...
I would get a case for it. Then at least you could move it with out dropping the cd drive and yanking the cord out or something.
They have cheap cases now with lots of windows. These may be a little high (They are cheaper when they have rebates) but I have one and it's not too shabby...
ABIT is great. I've also liked the MSI motherboards
DO NOT get Epox. I had an Epox piece of junk motherboard. I paid $130 or something crazy for it a long time ago. It had nice features but was a piece of crap.
ABIT Motherboards have lasted a long time for me. I bought my first one in 2001 and it has run solid all the way up until I decided to use my upgraded computer only. It ran from 2001 - 2006 with heavy use and was very stable. I updated to another Abit for my next upgrade and it was...
In the Windows 95/98/2000 days, stuff like that was always ram or power supply problems. This bit of advice might be useless since you are installing Vista and lots of things have changed since then, but I'd leave in just one stick of RAM and see what happens.
If you have bad ram on your...
I have an Intel DG33TL microATX motherboard and an Intel C2D E8400 3Ghz processor.
Problem:
1.) I think my motherboard temperature sensor is reversed.
2.) Getting on my processor heatsink felt like it was going to break my motherboard. If I look at the underside of the motherboard it looks...
I don't believe that CPU's and GPU's are the only thing that people will arguing or fighting in the market about. What about hard drives, bus speed, and the bit width of the bus. People forget about providing the CPU and GPU with enough bandwidth to do what they need. This includes future...
I've been waiting for the 98xx's and this is a little discouraging... as everyone else says, lets wait and see what happens with some other proven results...
