Wireless N for a Shuttle - PCI, PCI-E, or USB?

I've got a Shuttle SG33G5 that I'm moving away from a location with access to wired internet, and want to get onto my wireless N network. It has an unused PCI slot and an unused PCI-E slot. What's my best interface option for getting it onto the wireless network? I don't forsee ever needing...

New build, Memtest errors, help please :(

Everything in the BIOS is default except ahci is turned on, the RAM voltage is manually set to 2.1 volts, and legacy USB is disabled (and expressgate is disabled). It did fix my problems in windows, though I'm sorting through some new issues now. Namely, Firefox is crashing and Prime95 is...

Problem resolved! Legacy USB was the culprit! Thanks very much to everyone who offered advice, and double thanks to piaf for registering and posting the solution - extremely appreciated, big weight off my shoulders!

Small update, I tried a small OC of 355 and that FSB timing with 2.1 volt ram (left rest on defaults) and I still errored out on Memtest :(

Interesting, could you post specifically what BIOS settings you've tweaked? I intended to overclock anyway so I will definitely give it a try! That's the exact RAM I bought too, and the exact errors I was experiencing

New build, Memtest errors, help please :(

When I was testing the DIMMs individually, I was booting with just one DIMM in the system and getting errors. I replaced the P5Q-E with a P5Q Deluxe this morning, and I am still getting errors. How do I proceed from here? Is it a CPU issue? Is it BIOS settings? (everything is on defaults/auto...

Okay, I tested the new RAM in an old, known good box and all four sticks came out clean - 0 errors. Where do I go from here? RMA the board and/or CPU? Could it be a BIOS thing still? Thanks

New build, Memtest errors, help please :(

Sorry, to be clear that's four sticks of 2 gb RAM - I figured the odds of all four being bad was astronomically low. I am going to test them in another box when I get the opportunity just to be sure, but I'm figuring it's probably a motherboard or CPU problem and was wondering if there was any...

I put together a new box this week and I've been having errors (CRCs on installs, stuff like that) in Vista so I went and ran Memtest86+ and I'm getting errors. Relevant hardware is Q9550, Asus P5Q-E, 4x2gb Corsair PC8500 RAM Tested all the RAM at once (errors), updated the BIOS (no...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Are there any issues with the NEC LCD2490WUXi? Looking for a 24" monitor for mostly gaming, a bit of image work, don't care about additional inputs - and I'm between that and the Dell 3007. I'm concerned about driving the 3007 at a good framerate so I'd rather go 24" I think, but it seems like...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

I'd like to pick up (optimally) a 24" monitor to be used primarily for gaming, a little image work, pretty much don't care about inputs, and while I don't want to spend some huge amount I'm not on a really tight budget either. I was reading through the recommendations and while I'd love to pick...

5-8 port gigabit switch

Looking to buy a 5-8 port gigabit switch, preferably one that is wall mountable. I'd like jumbo frames, and something that doesn't freak out when 100mbps devices are connected (I'm not sure if I will connect them but I'd like the option). Anything in particular meet these requirements? Thanks

IP35 Pro built in NIC - issues?

I don't think I specifically need onboard video because I do have a cheap 7 series PCI-E card lying around I could use, so if that opens my options more I'd do that.

IP35 Pro built in NIC - issues?

Probably the heaviest load that will ever be put on it is streaming HD video to two clients simultaneously, and most of the time I'd imagine it would only be one or two non-HD etc. I would happily take suggestions on another board to use for home fileserver use, not looking to break the bank...

IP35 Pro built in NIC - issues?

I've read that the build in NIC on the IP35 uses a slow interface, but I'm curious, using a residential grade gigabit network - will you see slower network speeds in practice vs. other boards, or on that kind of hardware will you be more limited by the actual network than the interface? I'd...
