    My new EVGA x58 motherboard takes 5 to 7 seconds before the post process begins. I power on, wait, wait, then it does it's beep and starts booting. No other problems as far as I can tell.

    C&C3 cut-scene problems?

    Anyone else have problems with cutscenes in C&C3? My game skips right over them.

Any possible reason why this would occur? (I've also...

    Running fan at 100%?

    Is it bad to manually run the video card fan at 100%? If I don't do that on my x1900xt, the temp rises and I get bad artifacting, but I don't know if running the fan full speed is good for it... It's loud, but I don't care, I wear headphones.

    8MB or 16MB cache?

    OK, I've got 2 harddrives. One's a 160GB with an 8mb cache. The other is a 320GB with a 16mb cache. My OS is being run off the 8mb cache one. I'm wondering, is this going to throttle my larger drive? The 8mb cache forcing the 16mb one to run down to 8mb? Or does having 2 harddrives with...

    Can FOLDING be bad for your computer?

    I've got a question. I've been folding on 2 of my computers for a few weeks now, and I got to thinking: Does running your processor at 100% power 24/7 cause undo wear and tear on your computer? Normally, my main computer in on 24/7 anyway, but idling - running AIM, maybe winamp, internet...

    small flash drives - USB 2.0 question

    I've never used one of these small flash drives before, and I don't really use USB too much, except for my optical mouse. My question is: Do I need a special kind of USB port to use USB2.0 flash drives? My computer is about 3 years old, so I'm assuming the USB ports on it are "regular" USB...
