    I messed this system up... help please.

    Ok... I did a Windows Repair this morning and it changed nothing. The system still boots without the USB mouse, so I have to unplug it and plug it back in. System still locked after 25 seconds. Then I did a full format/reinstall. This wiped anything they loaded on the system, of course...

    I'm over budget now - And I need to buy another copy of XPPRO because my old system is becoming my wife's workstation. So that's taking a major chunk ($140 @ newegg) of my extra budget. As far as going Quad Core, I could keep my RAM and go with...

    Need system build help

    Heh.. I think I used one of Nick's templates to build my last system three years ago. That system worked like a champion! I'll see what I can do with Quad Core, but I'm darn near my budget now. Fwiw, I'm using a 21" widescreen at 1680x1050, so I'm going with the 640 just to be sure...

    Shipping without static bags?

    This reminds me of when I used to work in t/s and this lady got her system back from repair. The hdd would not recognize and was bascially hosed. She then tells me that when she sent in the system she kept the hdd to save her data, but to protect it she wrapped it in Saran Wrap. I asked...

    WTF.. 8 pin atx connector?

    WTF.. 8 pin atx connector?

    http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0183050 Found it - I think this is what you are looking for. I can't vouch for the 4 to 8 adapter quality, but the 20 to 24 seemed decent and 12 hours in has caused no issues.

    WTF.. 8 pin atx connector?

    Interestingly, I use a 20 pin psu and just bought a MB that requires 24 pin. I went to my local microcenter and they had a combo kit that included a 20pin to 24pin adapter as well as a 4pin to 8pin adapter. I will get the part number and namebrand when I get home from work and post it here. I...

    Opinions please on Nvidia MB drivers

    That sounds good, thanks for the info. Any idea how to install this BIOS update from chaintech? They have no listing for this board on their website under support.

    I can't find a flash utility from Chaintech to install the BIOS update from a floppy... how the heck do I install the .bin file?

    Opinions please on Nvidia MB drivers

    Yeah, I know that I can turn it off, but if I am never going to use it, I don't even want it there in the first place. Is there any way around installing it?

    Opinions please on Nvidia MB drivers

    Another question... what is the difference between the Realtek AC'97 codec drivers that came with my MB and the Nvidia Audio driver 4.60 (WHQL) + Audio utilities 4.51 that are offered at Nvidia's site? I don't understand their functions, i suppose. Are these two drivers for the same thing...

    Opinions please on Nvidia MB drivers

    I assume that to get these nf4 drivers I need to go to http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp and click on Platform/nforce drivers ---> nforce standalone kit ---> xp But by doing so, I end up dling a 30 mb file that reinstalls the firewall and the rest of that garbage back...

    Build complete! - Various questions that follow?

    About question 1, I had the same thing happen last night while building my system. It was even doing it in device manager, when opening and colapsing devices. I was pretty nervous that there was something wrong, but after installing the 66.93 nvidia drivers on my new 6600gt everything was square.

    Opinions please on Nvidia MB drivers

    I just built a new Athlon 64 3200+ system using a Chaintech vnf4/ultra. During the initial install I installed the Nvidia drivers that came with the MB. It included not just drivers, but programs like Ntune and Forceware. At first, I thought those programs were only the drivers. But then I...

    New install issue?

    Assuming that everything is ok then, and there is no *noticable* difference in data exchange rate between SATA and IDE, the only thing I should worry about then is whether the 8mb buffer is working properly. I *assume* that is handled on the hdd boards and I should not have to worry about it...

    New install issue?

    SATA is not listed under device manager at all, even under the submenus by clicking the + sign... uhoh.

    New install issue?

    There are no yellow ex points, but SATA is not listed under device manager. The Hdd name is listed under Disk drives.

    New install issue?

    I booted back into Windows setup and saw the F6 feature.. I must have missed it on the first install. I loaded the SATA drivers as the instructions recommended, and nothing in the driver listing for the HDD has changed. Should I assume all is well?

    New install issue?

    How will I know if Windows is seeing the driver properly? By the simple fact that its working? Sorry, I'm a ex-tech... some of this knowledge lingers around, but I don't work with it on a daily basis...:(

    New install issue?

    I just did a new system build tonight with a Athlon 64 3200+ and a Chaintech vnf4/ultra zentih ve. Most of my build was recommended by ribbon13, and I must say, evertying looks great so far except for one thing. I have never worked with SATA drives before, and I installed one on this new...

    PSU question

    The form factor of the MB I just bought is ATX. My old MB was also ATX. But the old MB has a 20 pin power connector. The new one has a 24 pin. How can one tell when buying a psu if it is a 24 pin connection? Some of the descriptions are vague at best.

    PSU question

    I may have my terminology mixed up. A better question is: does 12v refer to the pin number? Currently looking at the Antec psu line.

    PSU question

    I just bought This Chaintech MB and realized that the psu I was going to use on it has a 20 pin connector. It looks like this board needs a 24 pin connector. When I am looking at psus, should I be looking for one that is listed as 12v? Most sites don't have pics of the cables themselves so I...

    Such as SEAGATE HDD?

    System build help (semi-noob).

    The drive you listed is IDE, so a SATA cable won't be needed anyways. All looks good then?

    System build help (semi-noob).

    Changed my mind on that Maxtor drive, going with the Seagate mentioned in the above post instead. Thanks again. 9.3 compared to 8.5 is significant I suppose. You guys are awesome!

    System build help (semi-noob).

    Well, between the guide and your help, I am going to try an AMD system. Trying to cut back a bit on the cost so I can drop more ram in. I have a standard ATX Antec case. Will the psu you recommended fit in there? I should then be able to skip the dvdr, fdd and case you mentioned because I...

    System build help (semi-noob).

    About the posts above, what is SLI? Seems as if you are saying that in the future I might be able to add another video card, but realisticlly, that's not going to happen. This system is going to have to last me a few years.

    System build help (semi-noob).

    Thanks for the advice on the guide reference. I agree that I don't need a $400 video card. The 6600GT at $250 is more than fine for WoW. But I do want the ram... 768 does not cut it for that game. I have only dealt with Intel in the past. Yep, the benchmarks above prove that AMD are...
