    AGP replacement

    The Sapphires are sold out to the point of having to pay nearly 100$ extra to *maybe* get one. Considering they are apparently discontinued (?) as listed by some sites. I'm looking at nearly the same thing by DIAMOND. Seems to be the same card to a T, although I can never find a picture of...

    AGP replacement

    cool, I figured as much. Yeah, I'll take your advice on the Amps to heart. Perhaps the new guide on PSUs is a good place to start. I'm going with a 1950, and this PSU I have-- its days are certainly numbered. Theres a LOT of reviews about this very one, saying they havent lasted as long as...

    newegg psu calc

    As a professional electrician, I can tell you that it doesnt hurt to purposefully overshoot your ratings a bit. An extra 50 or 100 watts will ensure your PSU isnt run as hard, so it stays cooler and lasts longer. And thats good for the life of your other parts! And, of course, if you need to...

    AGP replacement

    So, basically, I should have no problem witht he latest cards? Wouldnt they be bogged down a bit by the AGP? Or is it just not that major a factor? According to NewEgg's power calculator, with a 1950, I should be pushing 500W maximum. However, I'm sure they overshoot their numbers as a CYA...

    AGP replacement

    Cool, thanks! As for my power supply, its an APEVIA 520W with dual 12V rails. I balanced the load as best I could when hooking it up, so it should have amps to spare. It was vaulted as one of the best PSUs at the time I bought it (remember a few years ago when 500W was a LOT more than anyone...

    AGP replacement

    I'm happy to stick with my old rig for a few years yet; problem being my 9800XT is dying. PCI-e came out little under a month after I finished the rig, so I got screwed when everything seemingly jumped on it. Anyway, still having an AGP8x, what is the best card I can buy before the performance...

    A quick question on an internal cable

    What is the cable called that goes from the CD drive directly to the motherboard or soundcard, that allows you to play an audio CD without it actually being "played" by any software? I had a couple older computers that would instantly play whatever you put in them, wihtout bringing up media...

    How is FEAR on a 9800Pro

    Seriously, just about anything out right now will run on a 9800Pro, if you dont crank the resolution up, or AA it to the MAAAAX like some seem to do. It'll run fine.

    Looking for a gaming monitor.

    I bought it, its on the way. Thing is, Ive never heard of BHT shipping prior to now, and my tracking number doesnt seem to work on their site. Regardless, it will probably take longer than usual to ship because their is no local BHT warehouse around here. Either way, Im glad I got such a...

    WinXP Home, need new copy/CD-Key

    Okay, I'll try it. And yes, I do have a legit copy of windows, but Im not sure if it counts, considering it came with a Gateway. Considering I can dig up that CD-Key, again, at least. But anyway, in case this falls through, I'd still like to know how cheaply and where I can get a new copy...

    WinXP Home, need new copy/CD-Key

    I just built my new rig, and I'm happy to say everything works. However, as expected, Windows XP is a bit fussy. What it is, while I can install my old OEM version of XP Home, its saying the old "30 days to activate", and when I try, its not gonna let me use my old Key. So I need a new key...

    Looking for a gaming monitor.

    Those are VERY nice monitors for their price. BTW, they are selling for about $100 LESS than you quoted them, making them 220 and 300, respectively. A couple questions: How sharp would the picture be? Wouldnt the size of the screen warp or stretch such things? Color isnt completely right...

    Looking for a gaming monitor.

    Im looking for a gaming monitor. Im gonna place the budget somewhere around $300. I think anything much higher is insane. But anyway, Ive been gaming on a 17" CRT monitor that is... *ahem* 6+ years old. It reaches a maximum of 1280*1024 and 72 Hz. I regularly run it at 1152*864 and 70Hz...

    Having trouble booting EPOX 8KDA3J mobo

    Cmon... I'm really stuck on this one; but heres an update. Every. part. works. The mobo, the ram, the video card, the drives, and even the hard drive works, but the hard drive just wont work on THIS system. Now, the hard drive spins up and down, it reads, writes and deletes. I got it to...

    how will this comp hold up in 3 months?

    You coudl always just build the box, and use the peripherals you use currently until you can afford new ones. That type of stuff is still expensive, and doesnt improve too heavily over time.

    TCCD?

    Okay, I'm a rookie overclocker, so I'll stick to my "decently overclockable" setup I currently have going, rather than spend more on a "MUST O/C! MUST BUY NITROGEN COOLERS! OR DIE!" setup.

    Free PC Games

    I'm surprized The Ur-Quan Masters isnt up there. Its a re-code of the original Star Control 2 (abandonware) for PC made 10 or so years back. The original source code was lost, but the 3DO code remained intact. So they recoded to work on windows. The music is different, they added the voices...

    Looking for a *good* CD/DVD burning app.

    Choosing your Ram

    Retail is gonna come with an original package, extended instructions, extra paperwork such as warranty papers, etc. OEM means its gonna come RAM ONLY. You might occasionally get some other stuff, but its usually a stick or two of RAM in a static-bag. If you save $5-10, and you know how to...

    From what I see its always "DVD Burners" or "Combo Drives". Combo drives wont burn DVDs, and DVD Burners... I cant seem to figure out if they burn CDs too.

    Friend's power supply up in smoke (literally)

    Where are the LED's? On the Case using a direct connect from PSU, or are they on the PSU, or does the power for the LEDs come through the Mobo? If its the last one, then there is still hope!

    What FRYED this MSI motherboard?

    Best Video Card?

    I would suggest a Radeon 9800 Pro or XT. At the making of this card, Radeon was doing a lot better than NVIDIA, and the card shows. Also, some Pro cards can be easily converted to XT performance with no extra parts, because some manufacturers (MSI) use the same parts for both. A 9800 Pro is...

    What in the poopin popcicle coulda happened?

    Its recommended to keep your computer plugged in, but OFF, and cooled when you work on it. And the PSU switch OFF as well. This way the computer stays grounded, anbd you a re safe just so long as you never mess witht he Power Supply! Power supply can hold thousands of volts even when not...

    More RAM questions

    I called it the "PC3200 Barrier" because no mobos I know of support 3200 directly, and shopping for 3200+ can get expensive, and confusing. Clocking goes up, timings go down, insanity ensues! So is it when I overclock the CPU, or the RAM itself that I need 3200+? (o/c newbie here, but gonna...

    I dont understand how RAM timings work.

    Okay, I understand the bulk of it right now. Thanks guys!
