Looking for a little guidance from anyone who's built an HTPC with the primary intent of hosting a 4-ch tuner w/ cable card for use with extenders / other HTPC's around the house: eliminating set top boxes. This machine would reside in the living room, be connected to our 1080p 60" samsung and...
I've been out of the AMD loop for awhile, looking for some quick help.
As the topic states, I am curious to know whether my 761GX NB Mobo from PC Chips (specifically A33G) will work with a socket AM2+ Processor, such as here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103300...
i've been building systems for a long time, and never had this problem.
mobo has am2 socket, stated it supports athlon64 - in addition to all the newer x2, etc.
got it, cannot fit the a64 chip in the socket. i know it was an old 939 cpu... but from what i read it looked the am2 socket was...

My ata drive took a dump, so i swapped out with a sata drive and loaded windows up.
previously i had bumped the fsb giving my core2 6300 a ~2.4ghz operating speed. changing nothing other than this hard drive, bios settings completely unchanged - my fsb is still up there but the cpu speed is...
Hi all. I have my kit filled and running on the work bench... but i'm hearing alot of popping bubbles and turbulence in the reservoir. I have juggled the system around when i was filling and initially priming the system and am confident that all the air is out of the lines / block / rad...
While looking around for something stupid today, I noticed a whole corner by the hardware accessories that was basically a danger den store... in Microcenter.
Radiators, blocks, pumps, clearflex60 tubing, adaptors, clamps, etc etc.... I was really impressed at how much crap they carried...
Hey, as the topic suggests, I can't seem to get this thing installed properly. I know it's a relatively new card, but I had read that nobody was having problems with the beta 82.12 drivers, but they don't seem to be working for me.
The advanced video options (when you right click on desktop)...
I had a gift certificate for Best Buy... so I figured I'd dump it into a new psu as I have a 6800gs coming, and I doubt my 250w sparkle will be up to the task.
I grabbed this psu yesterday and bolted it up. I definitely liked the sheathed cables and modular cabling structure for...
i ordered a vid card from them last week, and it gave me some weird 'card declined' auto email. I checked my bank account and found that despite this email, the charge went through. A few minutes later I got an email from the egg, like usual, confirming that the card was OK and that the order...
Hey guys - I have the case pictured below, which was given to me by a friend (some time ago), and I was considering using it in a watercooling project.
The only problem I have with it, is that it didn't come with any hardware to mount 5-1/4" devices. I'm not talking about screws, I mean like...
i've been band-aiding an athlon xp setup that's basically maxxed out on aircooling, and it's time to move on, especially considering the death of AGP. I was wondering if you all could be so kind as to advise me of a case and water setup reccomendation that has the following requirements. I've...

sorry to sound so noobish but i'm not a lappy guy. a buddy of mine has a dell inspiron 5150 with a geforce 5200fx. i haven't actually played with it, but i've been working with him on the phone about this.

I was having a discussion with a friend about system memory. He feels that a gig of system memory will make a workstation run faster / use the pagefile less, on a system primarily used for gaming.
Having monitored my memory usage with 512mb system memory, I find that around half of it goes...
on 1600+, A7N8X, 2x256@pc2400. I O/C to about 150fsb, bringing proc rating to about 1800+ (~1.53).
Going from GF3Ti200 to the $229 Sapphire 9800pro from Newegg. I've held back on buying a card for some time now, but this deal was too good to pass up.
I've read several reviews, but I...
im just going to get to the point:
replaced nforce1 mobo w/ nforce2 due to crappy hdd performance. everything else used to work flawlessly.
on new mobo, same psu, cpu, cd, hdd, vidcard, etc, i can play games on single player mode (local) w/ no problems whatsoever.
on only QUAKE3 based...
