Ok guys... on thanksgiving I was in the back of the car on the way home from my cousins house in north jersey. We were traveling south on the garden state parkway (that might have relevance).. Anyway, i got bored and decided to refresh all the networks within range in the windows xp wireless...

sorry for the double post, wasn't sure where to put this:
Ok guys, check this out.. Yesterday, 3 of my drives started clicking on me.... all are IDE.. an 80 gig, a 250 gig, and a 40 gig, so you can imagine how much this hurts... all oif them are pretty full too..

i just want to know if im creating a bottleneck anywhere.. my GUESS is that the radiator is not as good in comparison to the block and/or the pump... so i might be either wasting money on this pump or not spending enough on the radiator... thanks guys

Ok guys heres the deal.. I've hit a wall of 250x10 on my 754 3000+ with my abit KV8 pro.. aside from the fact that the fans are so loud, i do want better temps... i do a lot of gaming...i do not plan on cooling my GPU, but do you guys think i can hit better overclocks if i cool my northbridge...
ok guys heres the deal.. ive been out of the game for a while..... its been about 6 months since i havent had to buy any new hardware... i have a 3000+ newcastle, that shows u how behind i am... but i have a friend who bought a MSI K8N neo2 plat and i am trying to figure out which chip and core...
Hi. I am putting together a new AMD64 setup for my friend... We are going to overclock this to hell so i was just wondering what board and chip you guys reccomend for the best overclocks.. I've been thinking of a 3200 winchester with the MSI Neo2 Plat board.... just wanted to know what kind of...
Ok my question is a matter of safety. I was putting in an older hard drive in my old computer.... well the terms 'old' really have no relevence to this problem.... but i pushed the drive back too far and it touched all 3 pins of one of the 3 pin fan connects on the board.. i didnt notice it...
Ok heres the problem, im tryin to run any x windows manager on my AMD64 system. Apparently there are no drivers out yet. There is a NVIDIA Geforce (Generic) profile to choose but that does me no justice.. Apparently there is no support yet from what I heard but i just would like someone to...

I didnt get any luck with the search so heres my problem:
A friend of mine has an hp pavillion P4 2.53 laptop... Its actually pretty nice.. but anyway, it got beer speeled on it and it was apparently dropped, apparently all in one night... sucks.. anyway.. she gave what was left to my friend...
Allright guys, heres the deal. I have this screaming Vantec Tornado 92mm on my SLK948U. Im oc'd from 2 to 2.5ghz, details in sig.. running at 38C idle with the fan on full blast.. now the thing is, i want to possibly go water and quiet this son of a bitch down. My friend at college (username on...
hey guys, simple question...
with all the troubleshooting i've been doing i've come to the conclusion that the wall i'm hitting during overclocking is raising my FSB to around 255-260... I have the 3000+ 754 so i have a 10x multiplier, 10x250 (2.5ghz) works absolutely fine, but 278x9...
Just thought id give some advice to those who have a couple fan slots in the back of their case with very small air holes. i have a 120mm fan back there but before now i could barely feel any air being pushed out the back... so i just dremmeled the shit out of the back and its a big hole...
Ok, i have a couple questions actually
I can OC my card to 415/1.15 and ill get a score of 5750 in3dmark05
when i OC my card to 425/1.25 i get a score of 5200 in 3dmark05...
is this because of erroring or heat? if its because of erroring i am thinking about flashing...
as soon as the...
hey i just got my 92mm vantec tornado (119CFM).... it has two connectors, the 4 pin and the 3 pin.. i plugged the 4 pin into one of the psu molex connectors and the 3 pin into my fan controller... but, i have no control over the speed of the fan and if i dont plug in the 4 pin then the fan...
ive posted this in the overclocking forum but got no replies at all.. so i'm just wondering if there is a maximum voltage rating that the A64 3000+ newcastle can handle, i couldn't find it in the datasheets on amd's website.. thanks
Ok.. im pretty farmiliar with the process of using the credit card to create a thin film of AS or some kind of thermal paste over the core of an athlon XP... what i 'heard' concerning the A64's and the gigantic heat spreaders is to put a good amount of paste on the chip and bottom of the...
I know some of you are those kind of people who dont throw away old hardware.. i am also one of them.. i have a Geforce 6800GT AGP at the moment, but lying around I found a Geforce 2 MX420 PCI card....i run dual monitors and whatnot.. my question is would there be any point to use this card to...
hey i have the registered version of 3dmark05, my specs are in my sig...my score came up as 4293 and it seems somewhat low... BFG 6800GT (400/1100) and A64 3000+ 754 (2.5ghz)... anybody have any personal settings that helped them obtain a higher score... does AF and AA affect the score? also i...
ok heres the prob.. i setup my 710T, let windows detect it and install default drivers... i was able to run 75hz in digital mode, which i confirmed by playing a game with vsync on and verifying that the game was running at 75fps.. now, i can't put the monitor above 60 after installing the...
is it just me or does the s-video out on all the nvidia cards have only 4 pin holes or so opposed to ATI cards which have about 8.....i remember this semester when i tried to hook up my friends s-video cable to my card it didnt fit, it usually went in his 9700 pro...
Hi... heres my story with my samsung 710t (http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/nabc/product/b2c_product_detail.jsp?eUser=&prod_id=MJ17BSABY&selTab=Specifications )
the monitor is for christmas, but I got a chance to test it out to 'make surethere were no dead pixels'... all i basically did was...
hi, i have an Athlon64 newcastle socket 754 on an Abit KV8 Pro....i'm overclocked from a stock speed of 2ghz to 2.4ghz... my problem is that i can idle at 40C yet i can run a game such as half-life (the first one) and come out of the game with a temp of 63 degrees C and this is only after about...
