Linux noob. I'm not sure exactly what is going on with trying to get linux running on my rig. I tried installing both Ubuntu and Kubuntu 64-bit (and 32 bit for Ubuntu) and it always freezes in the installation as soon as it tries to load the graphical interface. The box that appears has...

I have a Belkin pre-N wireless router (F5D8230-4) hooked into my cable modem upstairs, which of course feeds the wireless signal to my house. I want to have my old Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router connected to my xbox 360 downstairs as a wireless "adapter". Is this possible? If so, how? In...

I searched for an existing thread to no avail. We have 15/2 Mbps roadrunner at the home, which obviously performs brilliantly when cable connected to my Linksys wireless-b router and my desktop pc(11.8/1.8). However, we have 2 laptops that we typically use downstairs in the living room( 40 ft...

CPUZ is reporting 183.3MHz for RAM frequency for the rig in my sig. SPD reports correctly at 200MHZ 2.5-3-3-8. I have the setting to auto on my mobo, which is almost correct at 2.5-3-3-7. I thought it may just be a mistake, but I ran Everest too, and it says the same thing. Everything is...

I read the sticky up top and i'm not quite sure. I have an Antec Sonata with the TruePower 380W. Will it connect to my A8N - SLI ?

I have XP Home Edition, and I'm planning on buying a new mobo, cpu, and vid card. How awful will it be if I swap out the hardware and try to let Windows figure it out...or am I just being lazy? One of my big concerns is iTunes, and it getting screwed up. Any thoughts?

Its easy to get sick of these kinds of threads until you find yourself wanting advice :p I just need to update the main part of the rig in my sig below. I've tentatively decided on : Asus A8N-SLI Premium eVGA 7800GT PCI-E A64 X2 3800+ That's all I need, and its right on my...

I don't claim to be a RAM expert by any means, so I need some help. Okay, so my parent's have a Dell Dimension 4400 that's 3 years old. It currently has 256MB of Micron PC2100 CL2.5 in it. We went out and bought 512MB PC3200 Corsair ValueSelect CL3 today, which is 2 sided if that matters...

I plan on upgrading my current system in sig - keeping the same Antec Sonata (which has TruPower 380W PSU), Monitor, SB audigy 2, etc. A64 3200+ 939 90nm $190 DFI LanParty NF4 Ultra D mobo $130 Rosewill Radeon X800XL $290 Mushkin 1GB (2x512MB) DDR 400 $82 Total w/ shipping at the egg...

Okay, I have a 4 port Cable/DSL router (BEFSR41) that's just laying around, and a wireless B 4 port (BEFW11S4) that I is hooked up to my Motorola Surfboard cable modem that I got from RoadRunner. All of my comps have wireless, and I've set up the wireless router to accept only the 3 MAC...

Anyone know the max resolution for TV out on a 9700pro. I have a 51" Toshiba TheaterWide HD that I want to hook my comp up to for obvious reasons. (I'm trying to avoid buying a DVI-HDMI cable cuz of the cost, plus my DVD player is already using the HDMI port). Thanks. *edit* I already have...

After what I'm sure most of you have read about the NF4 Ultra Pencil Mod into an SLI, is there ANY reason to buy the DFI SLI board??? I'm thinking 6600GT, DFI UT NF4 Ultra, 3200+ 939 90nm, and some good RAM for a new rig. I can save like 80 bucks this way. In case you don't know what I'm...

LOL, this is the first game that is IMO unplayable on my system (see sig). Yes I know its a little bit older but...ouch! 9700pro plays HL2 fine. Is this game the next Halo (poorly optimized) or are the graphics really that intense? Here are some screenshots with recommended settings...

Went to 4.6's w/ my 9700pro two weeks ago. All was well, until a couple of days ago when FarCry started crashing/freezing the computer after about 30mins. This morning I booted up a few times trying to get rid of the wonderful black and white checkerboard pattern! FarCry did crash a little...

As a follow up to my previous post. I have a video in miniDV that I shot and edited with premiere pro. It is the trial version, so I do not have the "export to DVD" feature. While I wait for my full version to arrive, is there a format that I can convert it to and burn it with Nero or Roxio...

Okay, so I got my NEC 2510A from the egg, and the main reason I bought it was to export my miniDV video to DVD using Premiere Pro 1.5. I know it is very easy to do (File->Export->Export to DVD), but this option is not available when premiere won't detect the DVD burner automatically, like it...

My Canon ZR70MC came with a crappy Ulead software program that works, sort of. The quality of the stored video is shyte, Windows Movie Maker sux too. Everything looks like bad pron. I used to have an educational version of Premiere that I bought in college, but has been lost *sobs*. That...

Because I've learned to trust the opinions of most people in this forum, I just went ahead and bought the NEC ND-2510A burner from newegg for $89.99. It seems to be a wise choice. Anything in particular I should know or be sure to have? I'm by no means a computing n00b, but this is of course...

My company signed up for the T-Mobile 802.11b Hot Spot program at Starbucks. I found myself extremely impressed as I answered emails and checked out the forums from the parking lot with a surprisingly fast connection. It got me thinking, maybe I should run a Sandra Internet Connection...

So, my wife was able to successfully contract the Mydoom.A virus. Good for her. :) Well AVG detected it no problem, and healed two of the files that it was residing in. The other two infected files were .zips that were never opened. I followed the instructions on Grisoft's website for the...

Hopefully not a repost, but here's some info from Nvidia on their PCI-Express cards, renaming the 5700--->5750, the 5300 and the 4300 FX cards. http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_pcx.html Not super interesting, but something new at least:rolleyes:

I want to try and stop this problem before it happens... On the setup in my sig. I've had some evolving problems in the last couple of days. First, my comp would power up, but the monitor would not, so I hit the "reset" button and it worked fine. The next day, it did the same thing, but...

Wondering if there are [H]ard members representing the Bay Area and where exactly...meh, I'm in Brandon.

I don't know if this is a repost, but I came across this when I was downloading the new version of Mandrake. It is Linux that runs off of the CD, with no hard drive installation required. It seems cool because first timers can run linux without having to commit to installing it/deleting files...

My MSI 845G MAX motherboard has always seemed to run a little hot. Nothing is wrong, but I've finally decided that I want to do something about improving the northbridge cooling on it. This is the only cooler I've really found, but I'm not sure where to look for "chipset specific" cooling...

This seems like the best place for this post. I'm going to rub it in a little. My father in-law is a data security exec for a large financial institution. He goes to a lot of seminars, meetings etc. with microsoft, and they let him shop in the employee store recently. Between freebies and...

Thinking of getting this deal at Circuit City on the Antec Sonata. Mainly because a good Antec PS is almost the same price as this case w/ PS. http://www.circuitcity.com/detail.jsp?c=1&b=g&qp=0&bookmark=bookmark_0&oid=70265&catoid=-11241 But...has anyone had problems with mail-in rebates...

Just to spare anyone the anguish that I've gone through in the last 24 hours...when people say to get a good power supply, listen to them. I installed my 9700 pro as suggested in the manual by connecting it through the power connector on the hard drive. When running some applications in 3D...

Sorry I'm a little slow, even the price went up $3.00 today...but I just bought this card today w/ free 2day shipping! http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=320747

Getting Radeon 9700pro, so I have 2 Nvidia cards for sale, both with the retail boxes and all/most of the stuff. I want to sell them together. BFG Asylum Geforce FX 5600 Ultra- original box, purchased in October and used, never overclocked, fully working, etc. DX9 support, 400MHz core...
