Turbo?

I'm shopping for CPUs and I keep seeing a GHz rating followed by a turbo rating. What's the turbo for? I see it on AMD and Intel chips. Thanks! Example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113376

EPOX EP-9NPA3 Ultra Drivers?

I can't find the drivers for my mobo. If I could get the NIC drivers I could at least try Windows Update. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Epox Support

That's very kind of you to offer, but no ty. If you happen to know the memory type supported, max memory and CPU socket(s) supported that would be great. Otherwise, I'll just dig around on Google. Ty again.

I was surprised to learn that makers of my EP-9NPA3 Ultra motherboard don't have an online manual for this board. I was even more surprised to learn that the other manuals require a User ID & PW to download from their FTP. The straw that broke the camel's back was learning that after...

BSOD on some videos

On some codecs used by the vids in question, GSpot 2.70a says "Codec Status Undetermined". The codec GSpot says is needed is "WMV2" with a codec "Name" of "WMP v8". Not sure how to alleviate this issue as I uninstalled K-Lite 4.3.4 (Full) and updated to K-Lite 5.02 (Full) last night, but...

BSOD on some videos

Most downloaded videos play fine on my PC. I use Media Player Classic 6.4.9.1 (rev 89) with K-Lite Codec Pack 4.3.4 (Full). However, some vids always cause the PC to blue screen of death (BSOD)--and it's always the same vids. I've updated the drivers on my Radeon X850 XT repeatedly, but it...

Very Slow Upload Speed on Wireless Router

1) Is there any reason to believe your UL speed should be higher (faster)? I agree that 8 KBps seems low, but maybe your ISP capped it at that. 2) Are you using any filesharing software on either the desktop or the laptop? It would certainly soak up your available upstream without affecting...

Is my Linksys WRT54G Router Dead?

Normally, I can surf fine (600+ KBps DL, 38+ KBps UL) but sometimes the Internet connection slows to a crawl. So I type the IP address of my router into a browser (e.g. 192.168.1.1) and login. Here's my question. Sometimes it takes 5-30 seconds just to load a single page in my router's...

Best pre-built PC manufacturer?

Sure there's a trade off. So I think we're more or less in agreement. The point is, if you want to see what a massive headache your Dell/eMachine/HP/Compaq/etc. will be, check out ResellerRatings.com. Then compare prices.
