I need a graphic card for beginner digital animation (and some light gaming).
My budget is around 300€ and I'm Europe based.
Is the ASUS RADEON RX 6600 DUAL 8GB GDDR6 a good choice?
Rig:
GIGABYTE B560M DS3H V2
INTEL Core i5 11500 2.70GHz 12MB Socket 1200
G.SKILL KIT 16GB 2X8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16...
Roger that. Will try to get the B560M-HDV, then. Will see if I can accommodate the 16GB DDR4 3200 sticks in my budget to cover for future needs. Thanks for all the help!
Thanks for the hepl! Right now, where I live, I can only find the Micro-ATX ASRock B560M-HDV and the ATX ASRock B560 Pro4. The HDV only has two DIMM slots, but it has got a D-SUB connection, which I can use for my second monitor. The Pro4 has got 4 DIMM Slots for future expansion, but lacks th...
Hi!
I'm upgrading my rig, but I'm a bit lost with video abilities of current processors. I understand that AMD Ryzen "G" processors come with an integrated GPU. If I buy an AMD Ryzen processor other than "G" line or an Intel processor, do I really need a graphics card for it to run? I was...
Hi!
I'm upgrading my computer which I use, exclusively, for productivity and some photo editting (including raw processing). I don't play games on this computer. I'm recycling most of the components, and I only need a new motherboard, CPU, memory and an SSD for the OS (and maybe a video...
Thanks Motorheader. Solved it using a bootable Minitool Partition Wizard to set the drive as active and then Windows startup Repair did the rest.
Thanks for your help, nonetheless.
Hi!
I had a computer with windows XP in an older Disc and Windows 7 on a newer one. Windows 7 was installed after windows XP.
On startup, I got the dual boot screen, and I could choose between both.
I didn't want the old windows XP, so I formatted that old disk. Result: no boot now from...
I currently have an old 20 pin Eurotech Silent 650W powering the following system:
ASUS AN8-SLI Deluxe S939
Athlon 64 3000+
2+2GB RAM
1 DVD-ROM Drive
1 DVD-RW Drive
3 HD (1TB, 320GB and 160GB)
I'm upgrading to the following:
ASUS A4M78LT-M LE AM3
Athlon II x2 250 3.0 GHz

Thanks for your answers, but I went ahead and just deleted de Acer hidden partition with gparted. When I restarted the computer, Windows 7 I had installed loaded with no problems at all.
Somehow the e-recovery application on the hidden partition was messing things up, not letting W7 start...
Well, going back to factory defaults would be my last option, really. I don't mind losing that partition if I'm sure W7 or even XP will work fine. What puzzles me is why does e-recovery automatically overrides W7 and doesn't let it start after what appeared to be a successful install...

Hi!
I'm sorry for the long post...
I have an Acer Aspire 5315 laptop and wanted to change from Vista Basic 32 bit to Windows 7 Home premium 32 bit. I put in the Windows 7 disc and did the whole installing process.
Everything went smoothly, but then, when Windows 7 was "finalising"...
Hi!
I'm getting the following components for an upgrade:
Motherboard ASUS M4A78LT-M LE - Socket AM3 - Chipset 760G - Micro ATX
AMD Athlon II X3 445 - 3,1 GHz - Cache L2 1,5 MB - Socket AM3
I want to install 4GB in this system, but I'm not sure the following memory would be a good...
I bought a Linksys WAG354G router/ADSL modem and installed it in my house. Everything went smoothly and it's wired to the desktop. I use a Linksys WPC54G pcmcia card on my laptop.
On the same and adjacent rooms, the signal is excellent. On my living room (total distance 25 feet not in line of...
Hi!
I have 2 computers at home (XP Professional SP2). Main one wired to my linksys wag354g, the laptop using a linksys wpc54g wireless adapter.
Configuration was easy, and I can access the internet on both with no problems.
I created a workgroup and put both computers on the workgroup...
Hi!
I need a cheap TV tuner. All I need is the ability to watch TV and, most important, record it when I'm not home. As I am completely new to this issue, thus completely blind to it, I have a couple of questions:
1) Can I record programmes in the hard disk and then transfer it to DVD to...
Thanks KJ. The fan keeps turning but makes a loud noise. I live in Europe, so I guess I have to go through the normal guarantee channel, instead of asking ASUS directly.
I guess if the fan stops completely I should stop using the computer until I replace it?

Hi!
After 10 months use, I started to notice a growing fan noise. I opened up my rig and it looks that it comes from the chipset fan, but I am not sure.
First of all I thought about a loose cable touching the the power unit fan but no cables are near it.
It's an Eurotech Silent 460W...
I downloaded InCD but can't seem able to go past the first instalation screen... I enter user name and company and I'm not sure which serial they ask for. I tried my Nero serial and nothing. Also tried with the windows serial and nothing once more... The 'Next' button doesn't work...

Hi!
Before I bought an lg gwa-4161B DVD recorder I used EZ cd creator. I used to format cd-rw with direct cd and used them to drag and drop files in windows explorer...
Can I do the same with dvd+rw (or -rw)? I mean, do these discs need formatting (like cd-rw) and can they be used with...
Hi!
I used to have EZ CD Creator when I had a CD recorder, but now that I bought a LG GWA-4161B I installed Nero 6 Ultra Edition.
Problem is, I buoght a DVD+RW to back up my files and I can't find a way to use it as a drag and drop drive, if you see what I mean.
Before, I used a CD-RW...
I searched but could not find the relevant thread...
I downloaded drivers from HP which should work in XP... so they say.
I cannot find the card you mention where I live. I found several others with similar capabilities, so I guess they should work?
Thanks,
Inikay.
Hi!
I have an old HP scanner Scanjet 5p. It's a SCSI scanner which used an ISA SCSI controller. I bought a new computer now, and of course I don't have ISA anymore. Just PCI and PCI-e.
Now, the scanner is old, but it's more than enough for what I do, and I don't fancy buying a new one...

Hi!
I got a new computer based on a ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe. I didn't buy a sound card since the MB has 7.1 capability.
Now, when I turn on my loudspeakers, I hear a clock ticking interference... It really annoys me and prevents me from listening any sound without the irritating tick...
I may play occasionally. Does the videocard works with SLI if I add a second one later on?
Also, will it allow to do simple video editting ? (all I want to do is get several small video files I rip from DVD and put them together, with simple transition effects and some subtitles....)
Thanks.
Hi!
Planning of putting this together:
CHIEFTEC DX-01B-D-U Black 360W
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Socket 939 BOX
ASUS EN6600TD256 Ge-Force 6600 256MB DDR PCI-Express
2X KINGSTON ValueRam 512MB DDR 400MHz
SEAGATE HD 160GB Serial ATA 7200 RPM ST3160827AS
LG 16x52x...
It's a new rig, so I will just create the partitions before I format the disk, in the process of installing the operating system. It's more a security issue, really. I like everything in its own place :-)
Thanks,
Inikay.
Hi!
I am buying a new computer and it will come with a Seagate 160GB SATA disk.
I'm thinking in creating 3 partitions:
c: 20GB (Windows XP)
d: 90 GB (Programs)
e: 50GB, or the rest (Documents and personal files)
Is this a good distribution? Not sure about the one for the operating...
Hi!
Some sites mention that the big difference between the LG 4160B and the 4161 is that the first burns DVD-RAM at 2X and the second at 5X. Is this correct?
I've seen other sites that mention that the 4161 doesn't burn DVD-RAM...
Help appreciated.
Inikay.
Hey npapanik:
Your computer looks a lot with the one I want to build, except for the 2 36GB in Raid.
How does it perform? D you think an Asus Radeon A9600XT would do the trick? (I don't play much).
Thanks,
Inikay.
Hi!
I never installed SATA drives. I only installed ata drives in my computers, but quite frankly don't know what's this Raid stuff... Is it only for SATA, or for all types of drives? And do optical drives have anything to do with this?
Can anybody explain how do you change these settings...
