| | How is the 200Gb drive connected? If it's SATA, then you will have install the required SATA controller drivers in order for Windows XP to see it (unless you have a native SATA motherboard, such as one using an Intel chipset). Otherwise, you might have to give Windows a gentle … |
| | The type of RAM a video card uses has nothing to do with the type of RAM your motherboard takes. In this case, you only have to worry about the quality of your power supply and whether it can handle a 6600. |
| | Re: v core adjust... You already have a thread on the subject of overclocking the_mistah. Please keep everything in there.  |
| | Re: DDR Info No, the "FSB" is the Front Side Bus speed on the motherboard.The DDR266/DDR333/DDR400 items are the various speeds of DDR RAM available. However, to get a better idea of what is happening (and so offer the best advice), what motherboard are we talking about here and what is it you … |

| | [QUOTE=billenium_uk]Dude why r u using a PCI card? surely if u know anything about graphics u'd be using an AGP card??[/QUOTE]Umm, billenium_uk, that's a PCI-[i]Express[/i] card he's using. You could say it's [i]better[/i] than an equivalent AGP model. ;) buddylee614, is this a new card you've just installed? Do other …  |
| | [QUOTE=RGPHNX]Hi guymof, Nope........... a 8X card will not work in a 4X slot. sorry.. You run the rick of burning out the slot.. your card..or both. RGPHNX[/QUOTE]Incorrect. An AGP8X card [i]will[/i] work fine in an AGP4X slot.  |
| | [QUOTE=Topraman]Guys, My office help-desk team set WEP key on my laptop but they refused to set it on my another laptop. :sad:[/QUOTE]Sorry, but that's too bad! If your tech department doesn't want to give you another key then they usually have a good reason for it, and we're not about … |
| | Re: Memory problem? [QUOTE=Strangr314]Okay. Last night i ran the memtest86 and it came back with no errors. I've been really busy lately and haven't had a chance to look at the application logs, but the last time i did know there were tons of program hangs. I think there were errors, and i …  |

| | I'm thinking another way. ;) ljmora501, were you connected to the internet when these messages popped up? What kind of window were the message displayed in? A simple pop-up with an OK button at the bottom? Do you have any anti-spyware/virus programs running in the background that would pop up … |
| | RGPHNX, we've been through this before. Windows drivers are playing no part in this problem - the machine will not even boot up with only the new card in. Also, that motherboard does not have onboard video. joodee, are you able to test the card in another system? (make sure … |
| | Windows 98SE comes with internet connection sharing, so there shouldn't be any need to use third party programs. Not having a Windows 98 box handy, I can't say with any certainty that it will work with your ADSL connection, but it's certainly worth a shot. A guide is attached below … |

| | You don't need any tutorials for "hyperthreading" Cal unless you actually plan to start programming threaded applications. Otherwise, all you need to do is......well, do what you always do. Hyperthreading is designed to make multi-tasking a little quicker without any special actions on your part - it's all automated. As … |
 | Howdy Cat. I would prefer it if we could solve your problem in the open forum rather than through private communication. This way others can benefit from the discussion generated! First of all, how is your network configured? You say the wireless-capable laptops are connected - is the desktop linked … |
| | That may be a typo, either with the model number, the frequency or the socket type. It may even be an overclocked chip! I cannot find a socket 939 3200+ running at 2.2Ghz in [url=http://139.95.253.213/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=69,E=0000000000175411969,K=3311,Sxi=13,Case=obj(4271)]AMD's list[/url] or on this [url=http://techreport.com/cpu/]third party one[/url]. I would seek clarification on the item and … |
| | Athlon64s have "Hypertransport" links on the motherboard for communication between components. However, there is an fsb of sorts for determining the CPU's operating frequency. |
| | Hmmm. Have you looked into alternative setups crab? Say something from AMD? The socket 478 platform you've chosen there is being phased out, although it still offers a decently performing platform. Plus, I would recommend 1 stick of 512Mb for the first setup, with a mind to add another later … |
| | As far as I know, a PCI add-on card does not "integrate" itself with your BIOS, so the BIOS will not recognise drives attached to it during POST (only drives plugged into controllers integrated into the motherboard). What are you using to gauge the drive's performance? If you're transferring data … |
| | You are stressing the monitor more by running it at a higher refresh rate, but if it's a supported rate at that particular resolution (see manual) then I wouldn't worry too much. If you're paranoid then just stick with 85Hz which still produces a nice solid image.  |

In addition, do not post anything warez relaetd or related to other illegal acts. This includes tech support troubleshooting pirated software or P2P programs (i.e. Gnutella, Kazaa) used to obtain … |
| | The network setup wizard that comes with Windows XP offers no salvation? Try the manual setup guide quoted below, but before doing so can you please describe your network setup? Switches, modems, what connects to which, and so forth. [quote]How do I get internet connection sharing working over a network? … |
| | Some suggestions and questions: [list][*]Buy some cheaper RAM (but stick with name brands!). The faster variety you have there won't make much of a difference in general usage and gaming. [*]What do you plan to use the PC for? [*]Why the SLI chipset? I see you're buying an ATI card …  |
| | You have a SATA hard drive and a non-native SATA controller. Thus, Windows requires drivers for the SATA controller before it can see your hard drive. You need to boot off the Windows XP install CD (as you were probably doing before) and press F6 when prompted (to install drivers … |
| | Replacing the image cable can be quite costly. As an example, my 17" CRT had the same problem. I was quoted $110 (AUS) for a replacement cable. A new monitor would cost me $200. Considering you have a larger screen, it may be worth the price, but it's up to … |
| | Could you please provide the specifications and/or model numbers of your PCs and RAM sticks sunandoghosh? |
| | I suggest you grab your motherboard manual and check out the [i]Memory configurations[/i] section, notably the [i]Recommended memory configurations[/i] table. |

| | I have to wonder - when reinstalling Windows, do you install the original version with no service packs slipstreamed in? After installation, do you connect to the internet before applying any updates, service packs or firewalls? An original, freshly installed copy of Windows XP connected to the internet is [i]extremely[/i] … |
| | If you've just bought a brand new router, followed the instructions for setting it up to the letter and it still remains in "diagnostic mode" despite what the manual may say (check out the troubleshooting section), then I'd be tempted to take it straight back where you bought it from! |
| | See [url=http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread24232.html]here[/url] for tips. If you have further questions, please post them here. |
| | What you want to setup is an "ad-hoc" connection, provided both laptop wireless cards support the feature. Going off memory....disable any third party wireless setup utilities and just use the built-in Windows XP wireless configuration software (I am using SP2 in this guide by the way). [list][*]Head into the properties … |
| | I'm no expert in networking, but I'll endeavour to solve your problem. First, some clarifications on your hardware setup. [list][*]A wireless broadband isp? Do you have some kind of wireless access point to connect or a special modem? [*]Is the dlink "switch" some kind of all-in-one setup? What model is … |
| | Re: CPU Comparison [QUOTE=JANINE]by all means go for AMD athlon. by the way 939 is the socket type not 939 pins.[/QUOTE] A "939 socket", supporting a CPU with 939 pins! |
| | [QUOTE=JANINE]i've got a sempron processor which uses the 939 board.[/QUOTE]Mmmm? A 939 Sempron? I have to wonder where you got one Janine - they're not available on the market yet, but there do seem to be a couple of "leaks". |
| | [QUOTE=Catweazle]Before you install the BIOS update, reset CMOS.[/QUOTE]Isn't that supposed to be done [i]after[/i] the update? :confused: |
| | [i]Any[/i] CPU above 3000Mhz or 3000+ will give you suberb performance with that video card. Any CPU that starts doubling in price for the next model up in that 3000 and above range is probably not worth the investment for a few extra frames per second. |
| | The K6-II CPUs were released in '98, while the original K6 model was introduced in '97. The final revision, the K6-III, was released in '99. Getting on a bit. ;)  |
| | [QUOTE=grebo]Windows will not recognise a hard drive larger than 127GB and always formats larger drives to this amount.[/QUOTE]If you have at least Service Pack 1 for Windows XP or Service Pack 3 for 2000 then Windows should recognise and properly format drives larger than 127Gb. :-| |

| | I suggest you google some benchmarks belama, and compare the numbers you care about. ;) |
| | Re: S-Video Query I'm flying by the seat of my pants somewhat, but have you selected the correct output type based on your location? NTSC, PAL, etc. |
| | Re: Some Questions [QUOTE=DMR]Yes- actually it can make a difference, and the reasons for that are related to how IDE/ATA technology works as a whole (as opposed to something like SCSI).[/QUOTE]Actually DMR, I'll have to disagree on that. Thanks to independent device timing, hard drives can operate at their maximum speeds on the … |
| | |
| | Is it not detecting the drive itself? You need to provide Windows setup with SATA controller drivers on a floppy disk (hit F6 when prompted during setup so you can install these drivers). Dell's support website will have the drivers you need (unless you were supplied with either a program … |
The End.
