Windows Serious Error

3DMark was on the default serttings, whatever those are. I haven't and would really not rather try a new install of Windows because I just got this computer up only a little while ago and that'll be a last resort.

Windows Serious Error

Just recently I was able to install both Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia. They had both been having problems with IntsallShield but somehow magically one time they just decided to install. Anyway. I go through Splinter Cell first, play it for a little bit and then I quit. Instead of...

Speed half of what it should be?

It took almost exactly 2 minutes to send a 180,000 KB avi file from the wired computer to the wireless. And about 3 minutes and 10 seconds the other way. I don't know exactly how you want me to use that utility, but I have it.

Speed half of what it should be?

Sorry, it just felt like the information you gave wasn't really relavent. I didn't mean anything by it, I just didn't think that it might be my actual wireless connection. Anyway, after that first post I got WPA-PSK working. Yet I still can't transfer anything between the two computers. Both...

Speed half of what it should be?

Did you even bother to actually read my first post? Besides the fact that I can't even send files between the two computers yet (Yet another problem I might need to ask help for at some point), that's not what this is about. The actual connection between my two computers is fine. It reads as...

Speed half of what it should be?

I have everything set up fine now (except I still don't have WEP enabled because the wireless card still doesn't like it), except for one thing. On the wireless PC, I went to dslreports and did the speed test like I always do. It came out a little on the low end, so I went to speedguide to...

Little wireless help please

Apparently it was something with the security. As soon as I disabled WEP on both the wireless card and the router I got internet for the wireless. Now, how to get them back on without losing the internet again :/

Little wireless help please

Yes, I have a green light. Yes, my wired computer is getting internet (I set the router up quite a while before I had a chance to install the wireless card to make sure it worked). Yes, both computers are using xp pro and yes both have the same Workgroup.

Little wireless help please

This is the first time I have ever even attempted to set up a network of any kind. I have it to the point where the pc with the wireless card says it is connected to the router I have (both Netgear), but it the wireless pc can't see my wired computer nor can it access the internet. Also, in...

Indeed. That actually happened a while ago, even though they only sent an e-mail about it about a week ago.

Crucial 9700 Pro Refurb $130 + tax?

Hmm, how much of an upgrade would a regular 9200 be over my 7000? Just wondering since they have some there as well for $60

Arctic Silver 5 for 5.99 free shipping.

Same here with SVC. Ordered some on the 6th and no shipping information after two e-mails as well except that my "order has already been packaged and is waiting to be picked up via UPS or USPS."

I would have done this except the closest k-mart to me now (There was one about a mile from here before it closed) is about 15 miles away, so yeah.

Xtreme Gear

A few things worthy of noting. Although on their front page they have it listed at $208, when you click on the link for it the Leadtek 6600GT AGP is $199 with free shipping. Kingston PC3200 512MB 400MHz is $60 ($5.75 shipping). The bad thing about this one is that it's only one per...

Which computer to put wireless on?

Okay, I've been building my own custom PC for a while here, and it's almost complete. I have RoadRunner as my cable service (Bright House Networks), and I just did a speed test and while I wasn't quite up to 5 Mbps down (It was more like 4.3 or so), it was still a hell of a lot faster than it...

ULTRA HOT! Centon 512 mb pc 3200 19.99 After 40 MIR!

It'd be nice if the only B&M CompUSA weren't like 37 miles away or something. There used to be one in this city but for whatever reason it moved and in its place there was a Christian book store @_@

Right, but that's still plenty for me as long as the two don't have any problems with each other. Thanks.

Netgear compatability?

I believe I read somewhere that these two products (The 108 Mbps router and the 54 Mbps wireless card) were not compatable with each other a few days ago, well after I bought both of them (on Black Friday). I figured it must have just been his system or something, but then I see that while the...

Pull the trigger?

I see that Newegg has this card for basically $220 shipped. Is it going to get much lower than this anytime soon? I just got $200 for Christmas basically going toward my computer, and so if it'll be a few months below it dips below $200 or whatever then I'd probably just go ahead and get this...

Okay, without really realizing what I was doing I went ahead and got the Soltek SL-K8AV2-RL. Since this is my first time building my own computer, I looked at the specs and looked at some user reviews and it seemed fine to me, but I was wondering if perhaps I made a mistake. Because I now I...

Thanks guys. I'm now convinced to get the 6600GT fomr everything I've seen and read, from actual reviews to prices I've seen. I'm just going to wait until early January or such (for one, to make sure I have plenty of money to perhaps go ahead and get my processor as well), just so the price...

Best card for around $200

I'm building my own PC and was looking for the best gaming card I could get for around $200. I'll be using AGP. I wanted to get the MSI 9800 Pro, but it's been out of stock for a while at Newegg. A couple of days ago it was back in stock for a few hours but I didn't have the money to get it...
