    I have a question: XP vs. W7

    I am re-posting this question. If I were to get an external drive to write all my program and data files to from a 32 bit XP OS, would I be able to read them back if I upgraded to a 64 bit Win7 OS? Also, rather than get an external B/U drive could I just partition my single 640GB drive since I...

    I have a question: XP vs. W7

    It is new and I picked out the pieces to fit Win7. But, I am a little daunted by the conversion. As you are probably aware those MMO's are measured in Gigabytes of data that have to be downloaded from the source. It takes days for each one. The upgrade process has me a little baffled. People...

    I have a question: XP vs. W7

    Okay, guys. Your opinion is requested. I have a nice little home-built computer running XP on which I surf, do email and play MMO's. It is operating perfectly well at this point. Is there any compelling reason that I should convert to W7 at this time? I have an upgrade to W7 Home Premium that...

    My Panasonic 42" Plasma has a problem!

    Hi, Koing: No, it is white and chases all the way across the screen from left to right or sometimes right to left and from top to bottom. It looks like a cursor on your PC when you are jut hitting the space bar, only moving much faster and not as bright. I suspect it has something to do with the...

    My Panasonic 42" Plasma has a problem!

    I have a Panasonic 42" 720P Plasma TV connected to a Dish TV regular antenna ( NOT HD TV). For the last few weeks I have a pattern of racing cursors across the screen. It is not so bad that it ruins the TV picture but it can be distracting. I may not want to know the answer to this question...

    Well Guys: I tried with just the CD/ROM attached and Voila when I reinstalled windows it worked there was the CD. However, when I tried to onstall the DVD it would not recognize it at all. This is the same drive I completely loaded windows from at least twice. Ant to top it off then the door...

    Hi Guys: The PS is relatively new ( <>2 yrs), anyway. I have the DVD set to Master and the CD to Slave. That is why the Fresh Format and Install ran from the DVD/CD I expect. Neither one showed in the MY COMPUTER, however. That is why I am stuck. Why would it read all the set-up and then tell...

    Okay, so I am building up a new computer and ....

    Okay, this is what I found! While looking at the reviews on NewEgg of the ODZ Reaper memory, I found a guy that had the same probelm I did with his 1066 memory. It wouldn't work a 1066 he had to reduce it to 800 and it worked fine. So I tried it and mine seems to work fine also. All this after...

    Are you always nervous about a new build?

    If you are a duffer like me and it is years between builds then I get more than a little apprehensive because everything changes between builds. One thing I have learned is that if the hole you are digging approaches China, stop digging. Take the whole mess to your friendly neighborhood Tech and...

    Okay, so I am building up a new computer and ....

    Okay! So I bumped the memory voltage by the minimum(0.025v) to 1.825v. The system went berserk and finally just went to a black screen and wouldn't respond to anything I did. Finally, I shorted the CMOS and got it back to square one. It booted normally and I am now typing this to you. Stop...

    As I stated, I am Technically challenged. The add said 1066 memory and the motherboard called for 1066 memory, so that was what I bought (it had about a 50% rebate). It requires 1.8v and that is what 'AUTO' gave it. Past that I know not. I tried to get flexible pieces to make future...

    Okay, so I am building up a new computer and ....

    It was time to upgrade my old AGP system to a shiny new PCI-e mothboard which, as you know, means you have to replace everything nearly. I saved, finally ordered everything a few weeks apart. I am not technically endowed so I replaced everything in my case but the new SATA disk. It posted but...

    Could Win 7 be introduced as a service pack for Vista?

    I am not technically endowed, but I read in one of these forums that DirectX 11.0 will be offered only in Windows 7 and from the beginning so that alone will compell us to buy Windows 7 sooner rather than later. That, as of now, is a rumor. By the way is there anything wrong with running...

    Could Win 7 be introduced as a service pack for Vista?

    Well, what you have said makes sense. It was a longshot, but a lot of angry people are going to be out there if they just bought their new computer with Vista, not yet a year old(in working condition), and they have to turn around and by a new OS to make it work. Maybe they will offer a hefty...

    Could Win 7 be introduced as a service pack for Vista?

    I have heard that Windows 7 may be introduced as a service pack for Vista. Does anyone have any further information on this affair? I built a new computer recently but stayed with XP because I didn't want to have to buy and install two OS's within the same year. Just asking!

    Copied from above: THE QUESTION, doses that probably indicate memory or the CPU has a problem? I repeated this test with just 1 stick of memory at a time and both failed???

    Fetus: Yes, the above link is to a picture of CPU-Z results that are identiical to the ones I got with the same program so they look right. I ran ORTHOS last night and it didn't take long to have a FATAL error. Here is the text: Type: Large, in-place FFTs - stress some RAM Min: 128 Max...

    I am currently running ORTHOS (which stress test both cores at one time). It has run for 37 min with no problem (turned it off to come back here). Later I will let it run while I sleep. I am in general very pleased with the performance of the new components except for this little problem. I...

    Okay: CPU-Z says DDR2-4096 MB Dual-Unganged 1804 MHz. 534.5 MHz FSB DRAM 3.8 CAS# Latency 5.0 clocks RAS# to CAS# Delay 5 clocks RAS# Precharge 5 clocks Cycle Time 15 clock Bank Cycle Time 26 clocks Command Rate 2T I don't know what it means, but I hope you do.

    Schmide: With a new disk, we put on a fresh copy of XP and brought it up thru SP3. It is already running DirectX 9.0 (highest XP will recognize, I believe)

    Booboo: I am not too literate with PC terminology, but I found EPP options in the Tweak screen. I don't normally mess with overclocking. *Ctrl-F1* has no effect but 'Disable' is an regular option. When I disabled EPP funny things happened and I had to go back and restore it to previous...

    Can I use a 42" Panasonic Plasma TV for a monitor ?

    I hope it was a typo that you said 1280x270. My current Vid card is an ATI x87XT and, yes, it has two DVI outputs on the card.

    Can I use a 42" Panasonic Plasma TV for a monitor ?

    I have a Panasonic TH-42PX80U Plasma TV. I have a computer that I play a lot of games on and have a 20" LCD monitor. Can I marry the computer to the TV and use it for a monitor. It has a wonderful picture (720P) but, I have read that is not sufficient for a monitor, but is that chiseled in stone...

    The Battle of the $699 Flat Panels! Cast Your Vote!

    I read an article that convinced me to buy the Pan TH-42PX80U. It was about repairing it after the 1 year warranty period and about the fact that most brands from discount stores don't work on their machines after 1 year. Panasonic is one of the exceptions. BTW I love my Panny.

    Just when I think it is safe to upgrade

    A M L: Yeah, my terminology is awkward at best. I meant the DDR3 memory and the CPU's that use it. I am not sure which they are. Is it a passing fad or a new tech. trend, I sure don't know. The AGP to PCI-e chamge left a bitter taste in my mouth because it dictated a complete change of gear...

    Just when I think it is safe to upgrade

    Thanks AstroManLuca, you pinpointed the same type of gear I have been looking at in my price range (ca. $250). I just don't think I can do any better right now, not with my wallet size. AMD has just changed all of it's CPU's to the new Tri-channel memory, so who knows what will be here in a year...

    The last two guys (Epsil0n00 and dunkster) understand my problem well.

    Just when I think it is safe to upgrade

    Well, budget is a difficult thing. Too me a $100 is a lot of money. On the other hand, if $100 makes the difference between having something to migrate to in the future and another dead end like AGP, then it is money well spent. I still need a CPU/MOBO/Video card combination unless I can...

    Just when I thought it was safe to upgrade my old AGP system I tried to come to a conclusion as to what to buy and it looks like I am in the middle of another transition period. My technology is not good enough to keep up with everything and I know there are people on this site that do, so...

    Thank you folks for your input, it has been very useful. The part about Windows 7, especially, intrigued me so I did a little research and guess what with Windows 7 is coming DirectX 11. That will cause a change in Vid cards overnight. Games being developed today are probably somehow taking...
