TV Tuner cards

Compro Videomate Gold or Ultra(NEC chipset). This is the only one I know of with ''Power UP''. This feature allows you to program it to boot your PC, record a show, then shut down your PC. Recording quality is better than with my previous Hauppauge card. http://www.comprousa.com/...

Several Cooling Questions

I have the same CPU as you running @ 11 x 200(3200 specs) I also have the all copper version of your Zalman. I cut a 120mm hole in the front of my Antec case to replace the original two 80mm ones. I installed (1 x 120mm)intake + (2 x80mm) exhaust low speed/noise SilenX case fans. For the Zalman...

Best photo printer???

I just bought the Epson R200 mainly because of the CD/DVD print feature and am really happy with the print quality and overall solid feel of the printer especially considering it's an entry level model. The reviews I've read for the R300 were all positive too. I doubt very much that you'd be...

Wise choice? Thinking of a mobile Barton

Based on ''bang for bucks'' logic. Consider the price of the Athlon 64 2800 + the mandatory motherboard upgrade you would need to accomodate it. For about 1/4 the price you're getting, at the very least, 1/4 the performance increase you would have gotten with the 64. I would call that a decent ...

RPM of ZALMAN CNPS7000A-ALCU

I have the Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu. Which just like your model comes with Fan Mate the small speed regulator which I never bothered hooking up. I have mine hooked up to an A7N8X with Q-Fan (Asus variable speed control) which is also disabled. It runs at a constant 2600 RPM keeping my Barton...

VHS to DVD? how is it done?

There may be better(faster) ways but this is how I did it. VHS hooked up to TV tuner card(Compro Videomate Gold in this case) I played the tape recording it in MPEG format onto my hard drive then converted/burned it onto DVD-R using Ulead DVD Movie Factory. I'm not sure but there might be a way...

ATI Silencer3 vs. VGA Silencer rev3

Don't usually believe in bargains - you get what you pay for. Paid $22.00CDN for a VGA Silencer 8 months ago - has kept my 9800PRO running cool & quiet ever since. I must admit - that was a bargain.

2 gigs does seem like overkill - I'm doing quite OK with 2 x 256mb

Building a Computer

Not bad - however you should seriously consider 2 sticks of 3500 RAM instead of 4 sticks of 3200 especially if you intend on overclocking. I'm not a big fan of Gigabyte MBs - they look nice and are usually loaded with features but I'd still go with Abit or Asus. Get a Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu HS/fan...

Question about Raptors

I notice more and more people using Raptors in conjunction with regular HDs. How does this work and what type of gains can be expected from such a setup.
