    Vista Ultimate upgrade worth 195?

    Explain to my wife why she can't run a lot of the things in Vista that she used to run just fine in XP? Fact of the matter is, with any OS change, not everything is all candy, dumplings and roses, despite what some "upgrade simply because I can" folks say. I've had friends running Vista...

    Vista Ultimate upgrade worth 195?

    I bought WinVista Home Premium just to have it... I happened to be buying a CPU and got Vista Home Premium for $99 bucks with the CPU. Initial releases of OS's tend to be buggy and have problems you can't/don't forsee until they get squashed at a later date. I have three desktop systems in...

    Windows ME strikes back ---from the grave

    You can FORCE WinME to use the standard VGA Display Drivers so you can then properly clean-out the NVidia drivers and reinstall the correct version of Forceware... remember, the more current Forceware drivers don't support all GeForce cards... as previously recomended, the 6-series Forceware...

    How is BFGs Lifetime Warranty?

    BFG's warranty is definately top-notch. I've been buying BFG cards pretty-much since the company's inception for multiple computers, and I've returned two of their cards over the years. Both times, I had no problems obtaining an RMA or receiving a replacement in quick order. They have...

    AGP cards compared

    I'm glad my 6800GT seems itself to be almost neck and neck with both the 7600GT and 7800GS... while my card comes in 3rd in most tests of the three, it's a barely-noticeable one (only a few frames a second in most tests).

    AGP cards compared

    Interesting that the 7600GT seems faster then the 7800GS in almost every test.

    BFG RMA upgrades?

    Good luck to you on that... the 6800GT is rarer and out of production longer, so maybe you'll be luckier then me (I have a BFG 6800GT too, but mine is working just fine).

    BFG RMA upgrades?

    Well, I got my card back from BFG... Result?... I got an "ugrade"... but not what you'd think... I sent in an 'old' BFG 6600GT card (the original run of the BFG 6600GT was simply an NVidia referance design with a BFG sticker on it)... the card I got back was STILL a BFG 6600GT card, it was...

    GeForce 7 in Win98?

    What's the obsession with telling me to use a PCI card? Are you not following that I ALREADY have a GF6 in the system? I care to use the GF7 IF I CAN, which is why I ask. If I can't use the GF7, I'll give the card to my wife (she's using Vista only), and I'll stick with the GF6. ...in...

    GeForce 7 in Win98?

    Well I already have a GF6 running in both 98 and XP, so I don't need "any-old" video card. The main reason I ask is that I might just be "coming into" a free GF7, so I was wondering if I could get it to work in 98... if not, I'll just stick with the GF6... at least I know it does work.

    GeForce 7 in Win98?

    I knew somebody had to be cute. I'm running Win98 for MY OWN REASONS, not to please anyone else. I have some programs and games that have never run in WinXP. I do spend MOST of my time in WinXP, I just occasionally go back to Win98 every now and then. What differance does it make if I want...

    1.3 GHZ PIII?

    What do you mean socket 775? I've been getting some MAJOR mileage out of my socket-478 systems... I still have three in the house, all in use (mine in my sig-line). I haven't found a need to go to 775, everything I run (even games) still runs well on our socket-478 systems.

    GeForce 7 in Win98?

    Thanks for the reply... that much I pretty much already knew (since I'm using a GF6 in my current dual-boot rig). Seems a shame, since the beta 82.12 drivers (for WinXP) which were released practically on the same day as the 81.98 drivers (for Win98) support GF7 cards. So does anyone else...

    BFG RMA upgrades?

    BFG is a very good company from my experience... I've been using nothing but BFG cards for some time on several differant rigs and have never had a problem. I was recently upgrading my wife's computer, and when I took-out her video card (an AGP BFG 6600GT), I noticed the fan on the card was...

    GeForce 7 in Win98?

    Topic says it all... I have a dual-boot system (WinXP/Win98) on an AGP rig... I know NVidia stopped "officially" supporting Win98 drivers with the Forceware 81.98 drivers... which (according to the read info) only supports GeForce 6 cards. If I were to toss a GeForce 7 AGP card into my rig...

    6800 oc still worthy?

    Don't bother with the 6600GT or 6800GS... neither is much of an upgrade from the 6800nu. If you really want to upgrade your AGP card, about the best bang-for-buck upgrade you could do now that would give you a boost in newer games is the 7600GT.

    Experience with Newegg recertified video cards??

    Most of those 'recerts' are returns from users who simply don't know much about computers and say 'it doesn't work' because they bought a PCI-E for their AGP system, or didn't install the drivers, or some other goofy issue (tons of viruses/spyware)... they'll return a perfectly good card, but...

    Current *best* drivers

    Why upgrade? If the drivers are running stable, upgrading to a 9x driver might get you a frame a second faster, but probably some crash issues. To be honest, NVidia tends to continually update drivers for the newest cards, but older cards rarely get huge boosts with newer drivers... at least...

    AGP upgrade

    Try the 7600GT... in every major test it bests the 7800GS, and it's not expensive... it is also faster then the 6800GT across the board.

    How do i hook up 2nd drive?

    Don't confuse him with the wire-count! Wire count is irrelevant to the differance between the use of IDE for HDs and CD/DVD drives. He just needs to plug his burner into the system and realize IDE drives include both hard drives and CD/DVD drives!

    What should my last AGP video card be, ala $100

    How do i hook up 2nd drive?

    The answer is most likely no... unless you have a Serial ATA hard drive (which uses a very thin cable that looks nothing like the flatter and wider IDE cable), then your hard drives do indeed share the SAME ATA ribbon cable as the DVD/CD ROM drives! If your current setup is as you described...

    What should my last AGP video card be, ala $100

    You might even consider an E-Bay purchase (depending on how you feel about a 2nd-hand card)... you'll get a beefier AGP card for the same price that way... if not, then I would probably spring for a 6600GT and leave it at that, since this card is going to also be a "hand me down" as time goes...

    How do i hook up 2nd drive?

    If you're speaking of the flat ribbon cable (that I presume is attached to both your current drive and your hard drive), then you need a 2nd ribbon cable. Each IDE Ribbon cable can support two devices (like your hard drive and a CD-ROM drive). A lot of the cheaper built computers will have a...

    What causes CRTs to glow after they are turned off?

    Transferring files from one computer to another

    I've never had problems with pull tags, but pretty much every brand of round cables I've tried usually has problems with the wire sleeves at the end "slipping down" and exposing the final section of wires going into the end connector of the cable. I haven't seen a brand yet that doesn't have...

    Upgrade to the 7900???

    I still say stick with the 7800GT... unless you really do have "money to burn", I don't think the performance jump is worth spending money unless you just "have" to have the fasting card on earth. Surely there's something else you'd like to spend your money on then a few frames a second...

    CRT vs LCD

    I'm an owner of both CRTs and LCDs in my house. As previously said, they have advantages and disadvantages of both. I prefer to game on the CRT as it's more flexible, but the LCD is nice for standard desktop stuff. While I love my CRT for gaming, I hate the fact it's a space-heater... I...

    Upgrade to the 7900???

    Strikes me as an odd combination of words! If money is no issue, buy two 7900BFG 512s and SLI them together... then stick the 7800 into the fireplace and light it with a lit roll of 100-dollar bills, then toss the 100-dollar roll of bills into the fireplace and laugh like a maniac... then...
