Hey guys,
I've been out of touch with hardware for a while, so I need some guidance.
I'm getting a free Intel 915 GVA motherboard with a 3.0ghz P4 on it. I'm going to be running 3gb of DDR400 with ~500gb of storage. I'm looking to use it as a casual web / old gaming rig (+ a little L4D...
I think this is an easy question, but I'm a little stumped.
How do I get my Xbox360 to display on my monitor? I have a BFG 6600 GTOC which comes with a HDTV dongle, but I can't figure out what settings/software to use in order to get the video card to switch over the source from the desktop...
After exams I'm getting a new card to replace my GF4200 that has lasted me for two years.... I've narrowed it down to these, as they all fit in the 200-350CAD price range, and I'm not really prepared to go any higher for a cutting edge video card...
6600GT AGP (If it isn't vaporware)
6800...
This is a strange post, and thus I was unsure where to place it.
I think my cable modem, a terayon, is killing coaxial cables. It goes down on a consistant basis and the only way to revive it is to swap out cables. The modem will only connect with a cable that has not been used with the modem...
I have a wireless router in one part of my house that is feeding some of my boxen - yet my house is too large for just one access point, so I was going to attach a router/access point on the futhest box that receives the current wireless signal and then bridge the connection to the rest of my...
Simple Question:
Making a PC primarily for Photoshop/Illustrator -
It will have a gig of RAM; however, I'm currently debating between a 2.4-2.8C (865PE with PAT) vs XP2500+ (NF2)
Which one is better for my needs?
This will NOT be overclocked.
I'm trying to rip short clips off DVD films... is there anyway to do this using a DVD drive.... I could hook a set-top player to my Vivo card and then copy it, but I was wodnering if I can somehow take short clips with software or something...
Ok here's the deal...
My father's laptop, a Panasonic W2, boots up into XP just fine and you can log in with his password and it's great, but once the computer goes into standby the computer again asks for his password, but won't reconginize it.
Ok...I know I can just disable the need for...
I just hooked my up for the first time in years....It's still fun playing Golden Axe and hammering away on the two buttons on the control pad while playing After Burner.
It's kind of out of place next to my PS2 and Gamecube, but whatever...;)
Can anyone give me an idea what the back of this would look like?

I want to set-up a second box with a spare P4Celly I have hanging around.
I have DDR 400 RAM and a 2.4Celly, but I can't decide what form factor to go. I would really like a SFF, but the price doesn't seem worth it, considering that the only box that intrests me is the Shuttle with the new...
I'm having trouble setting up sound in Dos games (primarily Death Rally)....
I'm using XP in it's DOS command shell and when setting up sound i'm asked for "Sound card address with examples such as (0x2--)", IRO, and DMA. My soundcard is the SoundMax intergrated set-up on the P4P800 and it...
Is there a benefit in trying to tweak my memory to run at stock 2.3.2.6 as it is advertised if I'm not trying to OC at this point. As stated in GH I can't get it work at the promised settings without rasing the voltage to 2.75 (Dual Channel 1G 3200 HyperX) and at 2-3-3-6 (at 2.65V), I come up a...
Simple question:
When you buy a Leadtek MyVivo card is there something different with the card, or are you just paying for the cable dongle. The dongle goes into the S-video, so would this work with any Leadtek card?
I set my Asus P4P800 Deluxe to run at an "auto" V core and at 1.525 V, yet in Windows is fluxuates (according to Asus Probe) between 1.56 and 1.6 is this okay? I don't need to extra voltage, and it seems high, but on thr other hand I can't seem to find any documentation about Intel 2.6c default...
I have a twin pack of 1G dual channel HyperX 3200 2-3-2-6, and on the system in my sig I can only run it at 2-3-3-6 with 2.75V... Is this okay. I need to have the voltage at 2.75 or it won't boot at these timings. The online guide says 2.65 is the default voltage +/- .2V and seeing as I'm inside...
Are the 5900 (LX, SE, XT) all the same? The Leadtek 5900LX has 2.8ns memory and everything else seems the same...
http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/winfast_a350_tdh_lx_2.html
I read somewhere that the XT is clocked slower...Does this mean the LX is different?
What is better: ATi 9600XT 128 or the 5900LX?
The 5900LX looks to be a 5900NU with 2.8ns memory...Is this bad?
http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/winfast_a350_tdh_lx_2.html
Is it worth 30 dollars more than the 9600XT?
