When I try to start Portal, after the Valve splash screen, the game exits. I get an error:
Game Engine
Could not open library client
Anyone else seen this, or have a solution?
Update: If I try to copy client.dll from one of my other <game>\bin folder to portal\bin, that client.dll is removed...
Task manager and speedfan both show the CPU use between 10-18%. I just noticed that it is not actually coretemp itself that is using the cycles, it's explorer.exe when coretemp is loaded. ??? Weird. I quit coretemp and explorer goes to 00.
Core temp seems to be using (fluctuating) around 20% load on both of my cpu cores. I have an Opty 165@2710. A8N5X MB. Anyone else see anything similar?
I have a WRT54G, and it does have an option for cloning the MAC or manually entering it. There is a MAC address clone link on the main setup page. I had the same problem as you.
You need a 3 1/8 hole saw. And a good drill;) Be warned though, I've made a blowhole with a holesaw, and it can be a pain in the arse. I tried the dremel, and got impatient. If your case material is not too thick, the dremel may be the way to go.
If you are talking about the Silentboost, sorry, it does have copper fins and works very well. The only aluminum part is the fan bracket. The construction is as good as my sp-97.
Only if the fan has a three wire connector. If so, you can connect it to a motherboard fan header and read the RPMs with any monitoring program, i.e. MBM. I don't know if any stock fans have this type of connector.
I use this one. I works well and looks nice to boot. I dont know what my actual NB temps are, but no problems running 230FSB with VDD at 1.7. Unfortunately the Egg is currently out of stock.:(
I've had a similar problem with DSL before. Oddly, I was able to solve it by forcing the DNS address in windows. I know it sounds wierd, but give it a shot. Come to think of it, I was using SBC at the time as well. They have gremlins in their DHCP servers...:confused:
I did this mod using the "wire in the socket" method. Pretty simple and very effective in my case. I went from 205 FSB to 235 FSB Just by doing this. I couldn't tell you why it works, but it does (for most people, YMMV). Here is a link . That board has several good posts on the pin mod if...
You are correct that pc3200 would be the most appropriate for a 200Mhz FSB system. Higher speed Ram would work as well. You should only need to increase your RAM voltages if you are pushing the Ram beyond spec. As far as brands go, I only personally have used Corsair and Mushkin. They are...
I use the SP-97 (comparable to the 94) with a Thermaltake 80mm smart fan. I use the fan bus to keep it around 3000 rpm when not gaming. At that speed it is practically silent and cools very well.
