I desperately need some advice from you Guys. My son's computer with an asus a7v8x with an athlon 2800+ finally died after years of great service. The culprit was the power supply, but when it went, the motherboard fried with it. I've replaced the power supply with a 420w Roswell. At first I...

I have a 6800 Ultra connected to my desktop display and it works fine, but it won't send any signal to my HDTV tv. It worked fine previously before I reformatted. I've checked all the cables and connectors. Deleted and updated to the newest video drivers, but still nothing. When I go to display...

Until Friday afternoon, I had been constantly running the graphical client on my Athlon 2800 Barton at work for a week. I had no problems while folding and running other programs during that period. At the end of the day, I shut down the machine restarted it. I kept getting lockups followed by a...

I've just gotten a 74 gb Raptor to replace my IBM 180gxp eide drive. I plan to install XP on the Raptor, and use the IBM for storage. I have some questions about how to do this since the eide drive has an existing OS on it. I know how to install the Raptor, but after I get the OS on it, can I...

If you had the choice of an EVGA or an BFG vidio card, which would be the better brand, or is there quality difference. Specifically the EVGA e-Geforce 6800 Ultra or the BFG Geforce 6800 Ultra OC? I realize the BFG is clocked at a higher speed, but is the EVGA capable of the same speeds, both...

I have an ATI tv wonder ve card installed in my system and am ordering a 6800 Ultra. Will I have compatibility problems with the ATI and Nvidia drivers that are needed to run these cards. If so, is there a work around, or do I have to buy an X800 XT to keep using the ati card? :confused:

I'm ready to buy a 6800 ultra. I've been out of the country for 2+ weeks and from what I've read, it seems that they are now in stock and available. Since some time has transpired, I was wondering if there is now a brand that is shining above the rest. Today I read that some have 2ns memory...

Just ordered a 72 gb Raptor to replace a failing pata drive in a system at work. I've never installed a sata drive before and can't find clear info in my ASUS A7V8X user's manual. Do I simply attach the sata connector, boot the system with my windows disk, format, and install as usual? :confused:

[B]So Nvidia anounced that NV48, NV48e, NV43 and NV44 graphics processors will be out in the second half of 2004. :rolleyes: Oh hell yes, now we can cancel our back orders and go back to the preorder list. rotflmao :D

[B]I've been under the impression that the X 800XT and the X 800XT Plationum editions were one and the same. Just read Anandtech's article "FarCry v1.2 SM3.0 Path Analysis" http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=2102&p=4 and noted the following: ATI Radeon X800 Pro: 12 pipes, 475...

A friend of mine wants to replace his old Dell PIII 450. I told him that he should consider building one and that I would lend him a hand. I previously posted this on the AMD board as I thought he might be able to get a bit more power at a better price point, but perhaps I'm wrong. So I'm...

A friend of mine wants to replace his old Dell PIII450. I told him that he should consider building one and that I would lend him a hand. He has a monitor, keyboard and speakers that are ok, he'll just need the case, ps, mb, cpu, ram, dvd burner and os. $600. is his absolute limit. I'd...

Has anyone actually found any Radeon X800 XT cards out there in stock for sale? They are listed at numerous online stores for pre-order, etc., but sometimes they make it into the retail channel early and are listed for sale. I read at Xbit that "PriceWatch and PriceGrabber search-engines did...

Just went to: http://www.xbitlabs.com/ and got this error message while trying to access their site: Fatal error: MySQL: Can't create a new thread (errno 35). If you are not out of available memory, you can consult the manual for a possible OS-dependent bug Imagine everyone is...

I have a old 21" Dell Ultrascan 1600 HS, a Trinitron CRT made by Sony and manufactured in 1998. I know, sounds like eons ago and maybe that's the problem. I used to think that it was pretty good, but compared to my Dell 2001fp LCD, it sucks. It's difficult to describe what one sees, but for...

I never turn the power off on my 2001fp when I shut down my computer. When I start the computer, I have to power off and on the monitor, or all I get is a black screen. Same thing happens on a restart. Anyone else have this problem?

Looking for some information from those of you who have an overclocked 3400+. Tonight I'm gonna start overclocking my new cpu, but am a bit perplexed at my idle temp of 43 and load at 49. I can't find my notes right now, but using the same heatsink with a 3200+, I believe at idle I was at 36 at...
