The title says it all. I'm currently running a 9850 @ 3.2GHz in an A79A-S with 4GB of 1066. Typically, I do a full new build every 2 years or so with a few upgrades every 6-12 months in between. I'm planning on getting another 4GB of RAM, but I was wondering if the upgrade of the CPU from an...

Just wanted to post this in case anyone else runs across this issue with Vista x64. Last week, I booted my machine only to have every 32 bit app requesting internet access crash. Firefox would load, give a socket error and when I closed it, it would crash. Same with IE7, thunderbird, gaim...

I was just curious if anyone had tried using centered timings with this display (NV or ATI) and wanted to know whether or not it worked? In looking at the manual (i've yet to receive my display) it makes no mention of disabling scaling, so I'd assume it will always scale stuff that isn't its...

I'm the owner APC RS1200 that the company I work for just bought for my office machines and associated hardware--- We've had an electrician onsite already, and all the electrical wiring looked fine and tested as such. Since I've hooked the RS1200 up (it's running at 214 watts out of 700 max...

I've got an x850XT PE VIVO, my dvd player is connected to the card using S-vid. When I play an older DVD, or a concert DVD (I used Opeth: Lamentations DVD) it plays without any trouble. When I try with a more modern DVD, it will start a loop of 1.5-2 seconds of video. I tried using DScaler as...

HOWDY. I was curious if any of you using the Arctic Freezer HSF on a Pressy (478 or 775, doesn't matter) could give me an idea of what your temps are?

Hey guys, I just did a fresh windows install with my new HDA Mystique card--- everything is updated, all new chipset drivers, etc. Installed the latest beta drivers for the mystique, but the microphone input won't register. I tried enabling analog and some other settings-- mic volume is...

I'm sure this has been asked a shit-ton of times, but it's difficult to find exactly what I want (reading through 60 or so pages of threads over a couple hours really gets to you) but: if you're air cooling, what's your cooler preference? I hear lots of people use the Thermalright...

Alrighty, I've got an Intel 875P based EPoX motherboard. I'm running a Northwood 2.4 and 2 GB of RAM. Now my question is this: What would you recommend as an upgrade while maintaining the motherboard? I was thinking of getting a 3.2E and 2GB of DDR400+ but would that change in speed be...

I've been out of the loop as far as next-gen stuff is concerned for a couple years; I'm looking at building a new system to replace the P4 box i'm using now, but my concern with the NF4 boards with SLI PCI-e x16 ports is that you cannot use them for anything but nvidia graphics cards. I've HEARD...

howdy-- i wasn't sure if i should post this under networking or lunix/bsd I've been using a samba fileserver, and it's been working fine. I've had to change my network topology after I got setup with a new internet connection. When I did this, I created a PPTP tunnel with my wireless network...

I'm not sure where to put this question, but this seemed like it might be the best place.I had a problem with xp earlier-- we had a brown out while the hard drive was reading something, and the machine shut down cold. When I tried to boot into XP, it crashed and restarted itself. I rebooted...

I inherited this lucent tech cajun 16 port switch, and it's stuck in half-duplex 100baseT mode, and I was wondering if anyone familiar with these devices knows how to utilize the management serial port on the back.. i've had no luck using it under hyperterminal (9600 baud, no parity, no flow...

Howdy. I wanted to look for a bag for my notebook at a brick and mortar store so I could get an idea of what features and stuff I might want. The selection at the only two stores that sell them near me is atrocious. Does anyone have a preferred place to buy accessories like this from, whether it...

I posted an issue with a new power supply that caused my motherboard and video card to fail-- i was wondering if anyone chould share some insight regarding this-- i have an 845PE motherboard, would it be worth the money to buy a springdale or canterwood mobo, preserving my PC2700 RAM, running...

So I order a new PSU, an Antec Truepower 550 to power my box listed in my sig. I'd been noticing that with my 400, i was getting some unhealthy voltage dips-- +5 dropping to 4.1 or lower, 3.3 running at 3.0 constantly, etc.. so I figured it was time for me to bite the bullet and order a new PSU...

I've had my boxes up for 1 year < and i'm not sure how frequently I need to change my thermal paste in order to have it still be effective..

I posted today that I was having an issue with steam/cs not functioning, but every other HL mod working on steam- i went to steam's useless forums (FPS this, FPS that, OH KNOWS I AM A CHEETER AND GOT BANNED BY VAC, etc) and posted.. and then a few hours later, some other people started threads...

Just wondering if anyone experienced a similar issue as this: I load steam (i've reinstalled, reformatted, all kinds of fun) I login to my account. everything loads w/out a hitch. i find a COUNTER STRIKE server I want to play on (like my own..) click join nothing happens click join...

wondering if anyone's noticed any internet flooding issues over the last 24-ish hours? mostly, what i've seen is on the west coast, but i'd be interested to know if there are any other ping anomalies tonight (1/26) grazie

yay- got my new DSL enabled, I can start chewing through WU's again..

Okay- to start: I've got several machines connected to a 4 port router, with a WAP. The router is assigned to 192.168.1.2. All machines connected to this router are given IP's using DHCP (I've tried static assignments, with the same results) I just upgraded my DSL, and I got the ZyXel...
