I've moved my PC to and from college a good bit, never had any issues. I'm setting things up, and when I power up the PC I notice that the monitors aren't turning on, and all 3 of my keyboard's LEDs are flashing. I take a look at the on-board hex code display, and it is showing "FF" which is...

My ghetto setup till I go back to college in the fall. Got the 2405fwp yesterday :->

My PC has optical out, as does my xbox. The issue is this: I want 5.1 in PC games. I don't have a way to encode those games to DD for 5.1 digitally. There are a TON of threads on ppls wanting to do this, but with no sure fire way yet (nforce2 excluded).. I can live with my PC games being...

I don't see one that has the 6ch inputs I'd need to play PC games in 5.1 Did I miss a model that has that?

Ok... I'm not going to buy anything until that cmedia card that may do DD encoding is confirmed/denied. But, I'd like to get speakers that have a decoder with them (i.e. promedia gdx's) for my xbox. I also want 6ch analog input to that decoder so I can play PC games in 5.1. I know I...

So the cmedia card... You say the card can to HW DD encoding. Yet there is no check box to do so.. If there is no option to, how can you make it encode a DD signal for spdif out? I only ask cuz I would really like a card to do DD encoding.. and I'm not about to drop $ on a cpu/mobo (nforce2...

Orinthical, The preamp we have doens't have that feature.. :-/ You get either analog 2 channel inputs, or digital inputs... it's got a ton of digital inputs... And while you can bind analog input 1 and say video input 7 it make out put... VHS, you can't mix multiple audio inputs to make one...

Pics, as promised. Sorry it took so long, mom lost the camera :-/ Rack #1: Rack #2: Back of Rack #1: Back of Rack #2: The screen, you can kinda see doom3... I couldn't get a good pic of the DLP projection image because I couldn't adjust shutter settings :-/ Theatre...

I fired up our Video Essentials DVD, and set PowerDVD's speaker setting to SPIDF and then I had a 5.1 signal. I can even enjoy DTS because the Proceede preamp decodes DTS and DD5.1. So I guess I need to find a way to output a DD5.1 signal over spidf when I'm playing doom3 if I want surround...

CrimandEvil, I under the SPIDF tab for the soundcard I did choose digital out. It has 3 options: none digital digital/analog the last 2 give the same result, R & L chanels but nothing else. My mobo is the one found here...

Divx, Xvid, VCDs.. not had an issue. I play 'em of the HD. (my xbox has a 250GB HD)

I'm fine with killing a few CPU cycles to encode the sound to Dolby Digital get the 5.1. Anyone know an app that will do this? Thanks! computerpro3, I'll get you the DLP specs when I go home tonight. My dad got the DLP while I was away at college, so I just use it, I've not really looked...

We've got a huge DLP projector, and a really nice 1800W 5.1 harmon/kardon speaker and amp setup, with a new pre-processor. I took my PC down to the home theatre, and hooked it up to the DLP Projector via a VGA cable. I borrowed the fiber cable from our XBOX and plugged that into my SPIDF out...

so it looks like 8-17 and 8-20 CDW gets some big shipments in from ATI.. We can only hope that ATI really sends the cards then. I want my damn x800xt for doom 3!!!!! It is at least playable on my GeForce4 TI4600 :-/

Just some (random) thoughts... 1) uninstall TCPIP and reinstall the stack. Can fix lots of goofy problems like this. -That was auctually one of the 1st things I tried, before I found the \\192.168.100.3 fix.. No luck. 2) Doesn't win98 store passwords in a .pwl file locally? Try deleting...

The only things loaded are client for Microsoft Networks TCP/IP and the NIC drivers Some have printer shareing turned on, no netbeui though. UPDATE: Apparently that PC that I thought could resolve netbios names on boot can't. I can boot up a PC, get the login error, and hit cancel...

The building 2 PCs aren't getting WINS via DHCP, but they do have the correct info hard coded. ipconfig /all confirms this. The IP30 box has no terminal :-/ Every one can ping the WINS server's IP, and XP PC's can ping (and resolve) the WINS server's NetBIOS name without 1st having to...

We have 2 buildings. Building 1 has a CheckPoint Secure Platform Firewall-1 box. Building 2 has a Nokia IP30 box, which is based off Checkpoint's Firewall-1. We have a VPN set up between the 2 boxes\locations, and it works great. Everyone can do everything they need to do via the VPN...

thanks guys!

D'oh! I should of known that. I use CPU Time from that section all the time. Here I was playing with the performance meter. :-/ Thanks!

I'm running a 1.4 GHz P3, 2304 MB ram, 2 10k 36.6GB Ultra320 SCSI in raid 1, windows 2000 server box that doesn't have much loaded on it. It's just a web server with a MSSQL 7 DB running for a web app that isn’t being used yet. It's a server that gets like no traffic. However, the disk...

I'm helping a friend look for a laptop. She's not a gamer, so no dell XPS for her (not to mention her price range :->). Her main concern is battery life, she also wants to keep this for quite a while. I own an inspiron 1100, I got if for $600 and it's a cheap piece of crap, but it works (I...

If he has a bunch of videos, it is a good bit of help (asuming you are transfering them and not just watching them). I run an FTP server on campus @ GA Tech, and serving up those 700MB files at 11MBytes/sec is always a plus, not to mention just about the max 100baseT can do :-> I also find...

The only "bad" thing about raid0 is that it takes 2 HD's to work. If one fails, you loose the data stored on both. However with raid0, you get bigger partitions (2 120s looks like a 240 to the OS) and faster reads and writes (only 1/2 the data is written to each drive). While not a perfect 2x...

How many drives (HD and optical) do you have? What brand/size are your HDs? I'm not sure how many drives you have, but I know the IT7 has 6 IDE ports. (I had the IT7, and then due to a failure ended up with an IT7 Max2 V2). 10k drives are pretty much overkill for your home system, in...

I need to add a line to everyone's autoexec, but I only need it to appear once in the autoexec.bat After some googleing I found a template on how to do just that, this is my version: @type c:\autoexec.bat | find "max" /i | if not errorlevel 1 goto pathaddend @echo >> c:\autoexec.bat SET...

thanks guys :-> I'll have to give those scripting tools a look. I figured somewhere deep down that the folders withen a share can't be maped was a limitation of 98. But, it's gonig to be a while before all the company's stuff is XP. Thanks again for the help.

thanks guys :-> I'

so I have the following share: \\2003SERVER\SRI\ and in SRI I have a folder called RTL (my user name) If I set my home folder to map the I:\ as \\2003SERVER\SRI\%USERNAME% with XP: my I:\ drive will be \\2003SERVER\SRI\RTL with 98 my I:\ drive will be \\2003SERVER\SRI Is there a...

We currently have a novell 3.12 server.. Yeah, it's old. We're phasing it out soon. Aside from a database server (which we've almost finished migrating to windows 2003) the novell server acted as a file server. There were 2 drives that the novell server mounts when you login. The F:\ drive...

bad news guys. My CDW guy just called. No shipment today (of course) and ATI's nt even giving them a date, but they have placed orders with ATI meet all their sales, it's just a matter of ATI sending out the cards (cuz no one is getting them).

My MoBo's only AGP 4x as well (ABIT IT7-MAX2 V2.0 ) :-/, but I think every 8x AGP card does 4x. I've got a GeForce4 TI4600 with the stock cooler and an optional DangerDen water block I can part with once my x800 gets here :->

scoreage! Does that include the tax? If so I guess I'll not get mine from CDW if HP's shipping them out the door for 1539.84. <edit>NM I'm stupid, I didn't notice that the guy who got 10% off paid extra for overnight shipping. Looks like HP's getting my order! :-> </edit>

yup. CDW doesn't care about end users, so if you don't have a corporate account with them they don't give you the real prices. Once you get an account, you are assigned an account manager and a whole team of "experts" who will bend over backwards to give you great prices and service. but...

Just so you know, CDW changed their prices on this now. If you have a corp. acct, it's $1,575.58 plus $22.18 S&H for a total of: $1,597.76 and they can ship it they day you order it. Once they ship my damn x800xt and bill my credit card, and I pay off that bill, I'm gonna get mine from CDW...

that's cuz CDW basically doen't care about end users. But if you are a company, they love you like mad.

According to the company I work for's account rep at CDW they were due a shipment today and one on Friday. Today's didn't come. My rep will let me know by friday if the friday shipment shows up. When he contacts me, I'll post here. I don't know if all of you have account reps, but I end up...

so CDW didn't get their shipment from ATI today. They are suuposed to get one on Friday too, but who knows if they'll auctually get that. :(

who:Techguy(F@H), techuguy_dsl(G@H), or at 165dB(UD) when: Apr 28 2001 Projects: I used to G@H but now just F@H and UD Power: ~10GHz (there are a 4 CPUs running F@H, I have NO idea what or where they are... *shrugs* the and 3 CPUs running UD (2.9GHz P4, 2.4GHz Celeron, and a 2400+)

I don't run F@H anymore, but UD will snooze untill you plug the AC back in. My cellery laptop gets toasty and the fan runs full tilt while UDing, but I was playing with a 1.6 pentium M the other day. The fan would cycle for about 10 sec every few min when under full load from UD. Those crazy...
