Boot-up Blue-screen Blues

Ok, thanks for the tips. But my primary concern is that annoying blue screen with my 700Mhz Duron. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Boot-up Blue-screen Blues

Recently, there has been a chain of mildly catastrophic computing events in my rig, so I'll try to make it short so as to not run anyone off. First I tried to install a Duron 1.2Ghz chip to replace my old 700Mhz Duron in my KT133 motherboard. Perhaps I'm an idiot for doing so, but I simply...

Really stupid question-how do I format my hard drive?

No, it's not in the faq, so don't point me there. I actually did this a long time ago, following a step by step guide that has probably been thrown away. So, how do i effectively format and reinstall windows without getting a headache?

What can't a 1.2Ghz machine do?

Yeah , if ATI and VIA are incompatible, that would explain a lot. I've gotten low framerates in a lot of 3d games. Plus, One of the biggest reasons I bought it is because of the incredible things I heard about a Radeon in 32bit. Well, it doesn't WORK in 32bit. If only I had known.... Well, AMD...

What can't a 1.2Ghz machine do?

Hmm....3Ghz.. It seems to me that people will start to realize they don't need to buy computers anymore. Your average Joe doesn't need 3Ghz. Most people buy computers for AOL and printing. You can do that effectively on a 300Mhz machine, 10 times less than what is soon coming out.

What can't a 1.2Ghz machine do?

1.2Ghz still seems pretty high to me, despite all the fuss over 2ghz toys. I'm upgrading my 700Mhz Duron to a 1.2Ghz duron and keeping the 256MB SDRAM and the Radeon DDR. What kinds of games CAN'T it play, or is this even a wise upograde decision? (BTW, I'm planning to do a major overhaul...

700Mhz or Radeon 32MB DDR..which is the bottleneck?

Now I know all you bleeding-edge types are going to tell me to just buy a new computer, but the fact is, I can only upgrade my 700Mhz Duron processor to 1200Mhz or my Radeon 32MB DDR to something around $150, say a GF3. I play games, and things are now beginning to slow up. Which is more...

Helluva lot better than EPI, which really was awful. Child acting, Jar Jar, and switching between THREE final battle scenes didn't add up. But No. 2 really was great. It had more to do with IV-VI, and had a GREAT ending and incredible special effects. And for those who say it had cheesy acting...

Can the switch function of router/switches be used by itself?

Can a router/switch be used solely as a switch, say in a gateway network where a PC is the gateway? Don't ask why I would want to do this, it's a long story.

Gateway-based network...compatible with USB DSL modems?

Routers: Linksys BEFSR11 vs Linksys BEFSR41

I hope someone here has heard of one or the other, but basically, the 41 is version 2 of the 11. they are both routers. Does anyone know the technical differences between the two and if the extra cost (about$20) of the 41 is worth it? Thanks for any advice.

Putting together a value gaming PC...help please!

Well, thanks for all your suggestions. Two more things though. Is the GTS-V just an old GTS and if so, how much slower is it than a Ti-200? And more importantly, this new system is being built SPECIFICALLY for a LAN. So what is this "built in LAN feature"? Thanks for any answers!

Putting together a value gaming PC...help please!

Thanks,. I aprecciate the help. Two of you suggested DDR Ram, and I'm fine with buying that (it isn't that much more than SDR) but I'm just curious if DDR really makes a diference in system performance. Somehow I just can't see how RAM frequency can push the frames per second.
