    WinXP slowdown over time

    When you first install WinXP, boy is it snappy. Then after a year or so of installing applications, games, Visual Studio, Sql Server, Anti-virus, etc. etc., my machine is an order of magnitude slower when booting. It also seems to be hitting the disk quite a bit after booting which slows...

    why does xp boot faster than 2k?

    One other thing XP does is it brings up the desktop while network connections are still connecting/loading/initializing. Win 2000 had to do all the networking stuff before you saw the desktop.

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    Hi Joe. It has a CPU duct built into the left side panel (left as in you're looking at the front of the case). This passively pulls air into the case onto the CPU to cool it. It has a telescoping duct that you can pull out to sit right over your CPU/HSF. Other than that, I don't remember any...

    ATI Radeon 9550 128MB AGP 8x 64-BIT? Video Card with DVI, 58.99 shipped!

    If you're talking about the MSI, watch out. The picture shows a card with a passive heatsink. The MSI site and damn near every other site in Froogle show a card with a fan. I don't know which is right. I'm going nuts trying to find a cheap 5550, 128 bit memory bus, VGA/DVI, passive...

    ATI Radeon 9550 128MB AGP 8x 64-BIT? Video Card with DVI, 58.99 shipped!

    So is it 128 bit or 64 bit? I have heard you can tell by how many memory chips there are. 4 chips is 64 bit. 8 chips is 128 bit. This card shows 4 chips, but there easily could be 4 more on the other side. Also, 3btech.net shows pretty well in resellerratings.com.

    Cool, I will look at Ultramon.

    Identifying memory bus width on Geforce 5200 cards

    A Zalman would be another $35. On top of $105 for the 9600. This is for a server that just sits in the corner and hums away. I have another computer with a 6600GT for games. So I really don't need a lot of power for this server's card.

    Identifying memory bus width on Geforce 5200 cards

    OK, I will look into the Radeon 92XX cards... I actually just sold a Radeon 9600 pro that was in the machine. It has a fan and I don't need that much power.

    Problem with Geforce 6600GT on two monitors

    Yeah, it should work somehow. Glad to hear you have confirmed that it can work. I'll go home and pound on it some more. I know there are some utilities that let you set 2000 (!) different options that might get me there (Powerstrip, etc.). But I wanted to at least try with the stock drivers.

    Identifying memory bus width on Geforce 5200 cards

    I did look at 4200's. They are faster, though DirectX 8.1 or lower. I even thought about putting a passive cooler (Zalman, etc.) on a 4200. But then I'm spending $40-$60 for a card and $35 for a cooler. I can deal with the relative puny-ness of the 5200 as long as it has a 128 bit...

    Problem with Geforce 6600GT on two monitors

    At home, I have a 22 inch CRT running at 1600x1200 and a 17 inch LCD that natively can do 1280x1024. I want to run my desktop across both monitors. I do this at work with an older Radeon card. It shoots 1280x1024 to the 19 inch CRT, and 1024x768 to the 17 inch CRT. Each monitor runs at...

    Identifying memory bus width on Geforce 5200 cards

    Hi all. I am in the market for a Geforce 5200 card with a passive cooler. I want this for my server at home that stays on all the time. My needs are: 1. Silent (passive cooler) 2. VGA/DVI outputs 3. 128 bit memory bus width 4. Cheap (~$50) 5. AGP I know this card is not going to...

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    It comes with one 120mm fan with a hi/med/low RPM switch. It is reasonably quiet at low speed. This fan is installed in the back of the case.

    Is this a decent PSU?

    I have been inordinately pleased with Seasonic power supplies. You pay a little more, but they have good amp ratings, and are QUIET. I don't think they have modular cables yet though.
  16. J

    Is this a decent PSU?

    Well it sure is shiny! I'd want to see the amp specs for each voltage rail. I suppose you could dig this up on the manufacturer's web site.

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    By bezel, I assume you mean the front? I'm pretty sure you have to take it off for the drive rails. It comes off in 5 seconds though.

    They worked in my DFI nf4 Ultra, except for the bad cell (see above).

    Geil 2x512 meg PC3200 2-3-3 memory $149.99 (not value RAM)

    I had a bad cell in one of mine, so I RMA'd them. Test 7 in MemTest showed the error repeatedly. Michael at Geil USA was great. Gave me an RMA number when I sent him the MemTest results.

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    Yeah, I love Amazon, but they've been charging me tax lately. Sucks. I have the 3000b all set up. Wow, it was a joy to work with. Of course I'm coming from a 7 year old AT full tower steel monster. It is very quiet. The hard drives can be heard, but it is a lower frequency than in the...

    Push my Winchester voltage more or not?

    Well, I followed the A64 Overclocking Guide (quick and dirty--its a sticky in this forum). I set the memory divider to 100 to take memory out of the equation. Everything else is in my original post. Your motherboard, what kind of chipset does it have? nVidia? VIA? You need a PCI lock...

    Asus/DFI/MSI: most stable and best performance

    I'd go with the DFI. I have the Leadtek card and have had no problems. Also, you may not be into overclocking now, but in two years when your 3200 Winchester doesn't feel quite as fast as it used to, you may want some extra performance. I just got my 3000 (1.8 ghz) Winchester up to 2.25...

    Push my Winchester voltage more or not?

    OK, I have now pushed my Winchester 3000+ (1.8 ghz) here: 2250 ghz 250 hypertransport speed 4x hypertransport multiplier ~1.6 vcore (1.475 * 1.10) 35 c idle 44 c load (Using a Zalman 7700-Cu HSF) SuperFan reports 1.57 vcore, but SuperFan seems to be a little low. So I think I'm...

    MemTest86 Test 7 and me...

    BTW, Matthias, I noticed you have Comcast 3m/256k. You might want to measure that. They are upgrading everyone to 4m/384k. You just have to recycle your modem to get it (if they've gotten to your area yet). I'm at 4m/384k now in Kansas City.

    MemTest86 Test 7 and me...

    Yeah, that's why. And I read in a "how to use the forum" post somewhere that you should put your system in your sig. Its not too many clicks (I just brought up Matthias's fine rig in two clicks). You can tell AT to remember you so you don't have to login. It does a damned good job of setting...

    MemTest86 Test 7 and me...

    My system is in my sig. I ran all the tests overnight. Test 7 is the one that kept bombing. The memory is being RMA'd, so I'll test the new sticks when they arrive.

    MemTest86 Test 7 and me...

    OK, I have MemTest86 1.51 and ran the full suite of tests for 10 hours or so. I got 62 errors in 62 passes in test 7 for a particular memory address. So I have since reduced the timings and upped the voltage. I also replaced the power supply. Still get the error on test 7 at the same...

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    Yeah, I noticed that. I tried to order two. But come on, its $30. That is CHEAP. And its not a refurbished case nor a crappy online store. I could see Fedex charging me $16 to ship something of that size and weight.

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    Oh, you mean the passive models they have. Those look nice, but they cost > $200.

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    BTW, I can confirm that my Seasonic Tornado 400w power supply's fan churns along at about 730 rpm. That is with moderate stress on the system. I cannot tell if the fan will speed up under load/heat. Part of how Seasonic makes quiet power supplies is they use a 120mm fan (big) and a...

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    I don't have first hand experience with SilenX power supplies but I have seen people mention good things about them. However, on looking up the specs on the 400 watt SilenX Pro PS, I did note some differences with a Seasonic Tornado 400 watt... SilenX Amps: 30/32/18 (3.3v/5v/12v) Power...

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    The aesthetics aren't very important to me (I'll be putting a beige CD-ROM into the black Antec--gasp!). The fuctionality is important (and the price). Cooling efficiency and quietness are tops on my list (for overclocking). So that means I want to get my own PS. I also like the Antec's...

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    I looked all over CompUSA, BestBuy, Circuit City, and Micro Center's websites and couldn't find the case. Usually, if these stores stock something, their websites have it. I would have loved to pick one up at $39.99 with no shipping, but I couldn't where I live.

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    Wow. I just got the tracking number from Provantage. I ordered yesterday (Wednesday) at about 2:45pm. Its getting here tomorrow (Friday). That's fast.

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    Hmm, that will be somewhat of a challenge. How many watts/amps do you need? I'm a Seasonic convert. They are very quiet. They start at about $45 for the 300 watt Silencer. You can find other brands for less that that. However, I would caution you that you don't want to skimp on the...

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    Ok, I'm impressed. I ordered the case from Provantage. I got my "Order Received" email at 2:52 CST. It shipped 20 minutes later. Wow. Now as long as they shipped the correct case, I'll be a happy camper.

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    I'm into quiet. This case is highly rated over on www.silentpcreview.com. I wouldn't worry too much about the shipping with a price like that. $46 shipped is not bad. Newegg is $78 shipped. I want a case without a PS so I can choose my own. You can get a really good Seasonic Super...

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    Provantage.com has these cases for $29.82. Ground shipping is around $17. So that's $46.82 shipped. For comparison, Newegg has them for $62, $78 shipped. This is a good case for a quiet PC. Out of the box, it has good features for building a quiet PC. It does not include a power supply...

    Machine Check Exception and other problems

    Hey igg, if the BIOS doesn't fix it, try looking at your power supply. I have Machine Check Exceptions, too, and my 3.3 voltage is rather low (3.17v). Also, Microsoft cites power supplies as a cause for this problem (search their knowledgebase for machine check exception). I have a new PS...
