4 GB of DDR 3 is more like 70-80 not 60.
But anyway. Doing it this way I recover maybe $100 from old parts after shipping assuming the person on Ebay does not hassle me.
It will also cost around 300 to upgrade to a newwer board with RAM that is not really noticeably faster at all.
I'd...
Hi there, I currently have a M2NPV-VM board.
It is not compatible with a PhenomII. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16819103649
I'm looking to upgrade from a AMD X2 6000+ since it has been running very hot lately.
I'm not super interested in unlocking the 4th core but I would...
Quick update:
I tried the manaual IP last night and got the same oucome. "Local Only".
I am posting this from within Vista plugged straight into the modem so I'm guessing that something in Vista is not working properly with something within the router.
Some specs first
OS Vista 64 SP1 (Part of the problem)
Router WRTP54G
Connection to router is wired
I recently moved back home from school for the summer. This PC has been connected to this router before several times and everything worked fine although sometimes the PC or router...
yes i did, in fact i formated and still the same problem. i believe now the problem is with a server here on campus being down rather than hopefully with my pc
Had it up and running for a day since the install with multiple reboots and it working fine and then this morning i install deamon tools and it asks for a reboot to finish i say yes and since the reboot i have not been able to get a connection.
i am on a college campus and we do use...
below is the report i get on the drive when i run it using the little utility in speed fan. everything is telling me the drive is functioning great/peak performance but it sure desnt feel like it.
Your hard disk is a WDC WD3200JB-00KFA0 with firmware 08.05J08.
The average temperature...
built a new system this last Christmas and in it threw a brand new wd 320 gig ide drive for my music since i needed more space. so the drive is only about 5 months old.
basically once i transfered my music over the drive would only get written to about once a week as i added more music, so it...
tried that, and that does give me the vista style bootmenu which means it kinda works, but i can only still get the vista menu when the dvd is in the drive. i don't boot from the dvd or anything it just has to be in there for the style to switch. and of course the vista boot selector still...
so basically, i need something to put in my boot.ini file, since that is what is used when the vista dvd is not in the drive, that will make vista boot instead of giving me a ntoskrnl.exe not found error.
Last night I decided to repartition my main 80 gig drive in half that has XP on it and try out the ultimate oem dell vista. partitioning and formating of new space went fine and i installed vista to the new partition which i called O:\ in XP.
this is where it gets strange, when I restart i...
i have a dvd drive, but its not hooked upp at the moment. so its not in the equation. and should i be setting ide as a master if i have a SATA as the master drive with my os on it? would that confuse the board?
the thing is if i have all 3 hooked up, i cant even get into bios. it gets to the bios boot screen and if i hit del it says loading bios and locks up and if i jsut try to boot it just hangs at the bios screen.
Just put a new system together and it has 3 IDE drives in it and a SATA system drive.
No matter what I try I can only get 2 of the IDE drives to work at the same time. All work fine but as soon as I try to boot with all 3 the PC locks at the bios screen. And it doesn't matter if they are...
thanks for the suggestions guys. looks like i'll be going with c2d in the near future although it's looking more like it will run around $800 or more for a system. hopefully there are some price drops after the new year or some sick board/cpu deals. i don't like the thought of having to pay 400...
I'm assuming the current Intel C2Ds are better than the AMD dual cores? I've been a AMD man most of the time but how do the numbers match up? Which future looks better and more open to upgrade?
ha, well I'm not very up to date on today's standards and the future of PC components. So I need help and direction towards building a system that can be upgraded cheaply 2 years down the line.
I've been on a old budget system for over 2 years now that I was forced to throw together out of random parts when my old one died as school was starting and I was pretty much broke and the PC is finally starting to show it's age very badly.
I am looking to upgrade/rebuild in the next couple...
its not really warez since the version dies on the first of june i believe so it is a time locked piece of software anyway. but back on point, does anyone have any other ideas?
Yea, reboot option as well as explorer kill doesnt do anything. The problem seems is that windows sees that the owner/amin of the files is not the admin of Win XP and my XP admin des not have write/delete privilages for those files. It makes no sense though since the files are not being used...
So yes I decided to be an idiot and try to see what vista was like so I installed it to my D: drive which happens to be my storage drive.
After messing around with vista for a few hours I got tired of it and decided to delete it. Obviously I couldn?t reformat since it is on my storage drive...
I just built my first system yesterday
AMD Sempron 2600+ with AMD approved heatsink + fan
MS-7021 motherboard
512 megs of ram
and an old geforce3 from a friend where I put it together
We had to reuse an old case, it has one fan in the back and nothing else.
The system averages about 47...
