Why do you always run out of resourses about every 12 hours?

I use MemTurbo, does the trick for me. I liked the interface better than FreeMem, but both do the trick nicely. I would also disable some of your start up items and check for trojans.

Ka7-100 with Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold which is Causing Locking of Machine

www.abit-usa.com There's a FAQ there that addresses some soundcard incompatabilities the KA7 line has. The first thing I'd try is to go into the bios and change the option for the 15M > 16M video ram. I forget the actual option, but the FAQ on the website has the info there as well. I...

Rebooting Cycle..

Thanks for the replies!! I've actually narrowed it down to a bad GeForce 2 GTS video card :( Sucks too, but tomorrow I'm off to CompUSA to exchange it. Thankfully I had my old trusty but dusty V3 2k for backup.. Thanks again everyone! :) I did get an Antec 300w case and powersupply tho, just...

Clock on Taskbar keeps losing time. . . serious problem? how to fix?

I just had this problem. My problem was a 3rd party screensaver (ie. one not shipped with Win98). Just disable it and try it again. If time is still wrong, check the bios' clock. If that is off, chances are your motherboard battery is dieing.

Why no Samsung 900NF reviews?

Sure it's a problem LXi, but within 2-3 months of having it? None, and I mean NONE of my past monitors have had one, in fact my 5 year old 15" panasonic monitor didn't get one until passing it's 4.5 year lifespan. I realize any monitor can have this problem, but I just thought it wasn't...

Cable Modem uploads

Why no Samsung 900NF reviews?

My fiancee's Samsung (same model number) has a dead "pixel" on it. Just stays black the entire time.. Got it about 2 months after she bought the monitor.. Other than that it's a decent monitor. I have a KDS 19" and I like it.. (you hush LXi :P j/k) ~Cy

Opinion on MSN...

I'm in a fairly unique position here seeing as I worked for their Customer Service department for a few months. Here's what I would recommend to your customers; Find someone else. MSN's service has alot of problems (or did 1.5 years ago) that were related to them, even though we blamed the...

Best 19" Flatscreen Monitor for 300-500???

[CyStar: I cannot believe you actually think the lowly VisualSensation(VS)line monitors looks good. Gee, I've seen them and they dont look very good, no offense to KDS, but they're absolutely nothing without those Sony tubes.] Uhm, I really don't care what you believe or not. This monitor has...

Best 19" Flatscreen Monitor for 300-500???

I'm running a KDS VS-195 19" monitor now. I compared this model to a 19" sony, viewsonic, samsung, panasonic, and a couple others. My choice was the KDS because the price and picture quality are on target. I've had this monitor for roughly a year now and have never had an issue with...

V5-6K?

Ya know, I used to be DIEHARD 3dfx fan. However, I picked up a GeForce 2 DDR 32mb the other day and I can say w/o a doubt it's hands down better, faster, and a more positive experience than any Voodoo product in the past, with the exception of the V1. The V6 will not smoke everything, and as...

Sound Card Question

Don't get me wrong, I have every intention to make this sound card work. I love the MX300, it's not let me down yet. However, as I stated in my first post, after reading the forums and seeing what Epox posted abut aureal chipsets and the kx133 incompatability issues, I wanted to jump the gun...
