Its been a long time since I posted, to the point I had to make a new account! Anyhow I've got a problem where I recently updated my drivers on my old MSI 4830OC 512mb graphics card.
I wasn't having any problems before the upgrade (except one of the drivers seemed to have been corrupted, so I'd...
With Windows 7 RC being released tomorrow, I was curious where I would find motherboard drivers for this motherboard/chipset?
Biostar TA790GX 128m (AMD's website only has it for vista, but will that suffice for Windows 7? I just want to double check)
I don't use IGP (got a 4830 installed)...
BIOSTAR TA790GX 128M
X3 720BE -> Set to Auto CC -> Post -> Ran Prime95 for about 4 hours and Played Left 4 Dead about 1 hr
CPU Temp was around 42 C when running Prime.
So far so good.
My fan on my stock cooling seems to be making a clipping noise as if its hitting the heatsink? Any...
So I just got my new rig setup and after about 4 days I heard my fan from my cpu making a weird sound. Sort of like its hitting the heatsink?! Everything else works fine, but does anyone know if (newegg/amd) will send a new fan or if there's a quick easy fix for this?
Thanks!
Thanks to anyone who can help me out. I want to tether my laptop to my desktop so that my desktop could use the wifi of my laptop in order to gain access to my wifi internet (the router is upstairs).
Any ideas on how to set this up?
Thanks!
Updated: Looks like the consensus is the 4870 512mb version and that a 740g motherboard is just fine. Now I pretty much have two other questions
1.) Does a power supply need to be 80+ Cert or is the one I found ok? It states 83% efficiency on load, but no certification?
2.) Will the Antec...
The difference between a 4830 1gb and 4870 is roughly $40 for me. Anyone know what the difference would be at higher resolutions (I would be playing at 1920x1080) with the 1gb? I'm curious if the extra 512mb would reduce the gap between the two. The reason I'm concerned with moving up to a 4870...
Newegg's current deal gives me only a combo with the Asus 4870 512mb + AMD X3 720 for $275-30 rebate. Which is the only way I could afford it. The cheapest 1gb is the Gigbaytes http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814125256 for $170 after rebate. The X3 720 becomes $145, totaling 315 :(...
I would like this setup to last for a long time 3-4 years. My gaming tendencies have gone down, but I do play games like Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2. I recently got an ASUS 23.6" 1080p LCD which unfortunately doesn't seem to display any 16:10 resolution besides 1920x1080 and the normal 4:3...
I was looking at some benchmarks and for example it seems the xbox360 has the edge over some of the $200 dollar range video cards. My primary comparison is Oblivion which runs well on the x360 and high 20's on PC Video Cards. It seems graphically speaking the xbox360 will have a longer longevity...
My current PC specs
Athlon64 3200 (s754)
1gig of ram
Radeon9800pro (Possible upgrade to x1950 pro?)
I'm willing to spend around 250 dollars on an upgrade for one or the other. For the Xbox360 I will play on my 19 Widescreen LCD (Have no HDTV). Between those two options which would people...
I realized now that the fan i put on my parents computer is extremely loud (30db) and whiny...whats the best heatsink and fan i could get to reduce this beasts volume?
Hello,
I moved into an apartment where the service used is SBC DSL, the modem is probably at least 8 years old! Well he has a wireless netgear router a friend game to him. We hooked up the router to the DSL modem and I bought a Alink Wireless PC Card.
Whenever I'm home and start browsing...

Everything is installed properly (well probably not since its not posting), but nothing shows up on the monitor. The computer makes a beep, PS turns on, CPU fan...
I would like to retrive some of the files from th backup I made a long time ago, because I have restored a lot of things on my own. So I do not want duplicates.
I would like to restore pictures and documents only, but the backup file has more than just those items.
Is there away to...

I have a 9800pro agp, with one of those huge zalman heatsinks (not manufacturing heatsink, i bought it with the card) will it fit in one of these small form factor pcs?
I want to upgrade to 64bit processors, and want to keep this vid card. please let me know if this will work and what my...
Does anyone know if the Intel Pentium M 760 2 ghz is say faster than and AMD Athlon 2000xp? I haven't kept up with the new naming system and was wondering if this processor is adequate for some gaming along with the 6800go?
Thanks for all the replies, I should mention i'm not going to upgrade my vid card for awhile. So would a64 2800 max out the 9800pro?
Basically what processor would max out my vid card?
I'm looking into upgrading my processor on my computer from a 1.333 thunderbird to possible a athlon XP 3000+ (333fsb)
I'm using a radeon 9800pro, and was wondering if I'd see some significant gain?
OR
should i just wait another few months and upgrade to an 64bit processor?
I'm using the onboard sound on an M7NCG 400 Biostar mobo with built in sound.
When my speakers are turned up and idle, I have noticed theres screeching noises that at first appeared random. However, upon furthur examination when I open up files are browse the web, the sounds parrallel the HD...
I just got a 9800pro and i'm trying to find the best drivers for my card? I'm confused, because i see DNA/OMEGA catalyst and don't understand what they are exactly?
What version of drivers should i get?
Thanks!
I laughed when you said "good luck" i feel like i'm on a quest or something.
So its crap shoot to see if i can get the fsb that high....
What are the chances in general of oc the ram to ddr400 speeds? =P
I'm upgrading my pc to play world of warcraft, it seems from what i read that i should get pc3200 for overclocking the fsb as much as possible.
but that memory costs a lot more of course. i have a chance of getting 1gig (2x512) of samsung DDR PC2700 CL2.5 for $70. Now if i change the...
does anyone know the warranty on OEM? there's a referubished 2200+ that's cheaper, and curious about the warranty difference or should i play it safe with the normal oem.
my current temps run at 45-55 using the current heat sink, since xp-m run at lower watts in comparison will this hs be ok to transfer over to the new cpu?
you can find a 9800pro on pricewatch for like 160, and the 660gt is around 220.
I need to upgrade my cpu as well, and i'm on a budget. that's why i asked which cpu is best for the 9800pro, cuz i'm running a 1.33tbird currently.
I see on past threads that it doesn't matter, but wanted to make sure if there were any benchmarks out there to prove this? Also wanted to see what cpu is optimal yet not too expensive :)
Thanks for any input
I'm currently running a 1.33ghz Athlon Tbird on a biostar nforce2 mobo. I'm looking to upgrade to an Athlon XP.
First off, will the heatsink I'm using for the 1.33ghz work for say a 2600-2800+ XP. I'm out of the loop and remember reading that XP's run cooler in general than the TBird. Also...
