I understand the signal wave forms are being distorted and compressed into a smaller time slice which makes telling the difference between a 1 and 0 much tougher. That makes total sense to me. I thought you were trying to make the case that a byte that consisted of 01011001 would not be...

The raid controller is a bit tricky to do a fresh OS install on. Maybe that is the trouble he ran into. Not sure where the interrupt issue comes in though, unless he is blue screening after he runs the WinXP or 2K setup and it gives him a memory address, etc that looks like an interrupt?? I...

The motherboard owners manual also mentions a problem with the Nforce chipset that is caused when cards are inserted/removed. The fix he used is the one they recommend. When all else fails read the manual.....

Kyle, Can you elaborate on this quote from your article: This was in relation to Prime95 not working with 325 Mhz FSB. What does OC'ing the FSB have to do with the position of the 1's and 0's? Hopefully you were being sarcastic in your statement, but if you were serious please...

I figured it out. Basically I am a dumbass. The power supply I have is an Enermax 550 EPS (for Dual Xeon systems) and you have to hook an adapter on it for standard ATX power with the 4 pin plug for AMD compatibility. I hooked the standard ATX adapter on, BUT did not realize you need to...

Just got an A64 3500+ (939 pin / 90nm) + MSI K8N Neo2 Plat and when I turned it on the fan on the CPU and Video card do not spin. The LED indicators say the processor is incorrectly installed. Examining the CPU shows no issues (how do you install a ZIF socket cpu incorrectly?). This probably...

There is currently no Vcore adjustment.

The concept of SLI a great one. Where things will start to fall down is when games become CPU bound. D3 et al do not do any sort of multi-threading and none of the developers seems to care about it. With all the dual core cpus in the pipeline hopefully the next generation of FPS and...

Hey, stop taking my name in vain!!!!! :D

*Bump* Good info in here.

This was covered yesterday in this forum. Just do a search.

It is true, but easy to fix. Just edit the .config file and turn on muzzle flash. No reports of it seriously impacting performance.

There is a "Server Full" bug with Doom 3. It falsely tells you the server you are trying to connect to is full when it is not. The fix is to copy the IP address of the server you wish to connect to into the IP Connect box and click connect. It works every time. :cool: -Nv

It really was not much of a hassle. I installed the 4.9 cats and the game does seem smoother. I have not checked the before/after frames per second though. Almost everyone seems to see some improvement with the 4.9's. Note, uninstall your current drivers first (Start>Control...

When you go into multiplayer mode there is a menu of Servers that you can connect to a' la QIII. There are various columns that show the name of the server, the ping, the game type and how many people are playing. When you click on the column headings it is supposed to sort by the column you...
