in this case it is either telling me that sp2 has successfully installed or that i need to install sp1. i havent seen any other directions.
if this was on my home computer i probably would have re-installed the OS already. its not something i particularly want to do at work.
i am having a lot of trouble installing service pack 2 for vista business (32 bit). several months ago, windows update notified me that sp2 was available. i downloaded it and installed it. right away i noticed there was something wrong. it indicated it was fully installed after about 10...
i think any system with at least dual core 2ghz cpu, 2gb of ram, decent vid card will handle vista just fine. i have an e2180 (2.0ghz), 2gb of ram and a 3870 vid card. i didnt have any problems running vista at stock speeds. i have since overclocked it to 2.8ghz. it was the first time i've...
vista 32 bit wont be able to use the full 4gb. you'd be able to use 3.something. i dont remember the exact number. if you are using 32 bit vista i'd go with the faster ram, or 3gb of ram. also, if you plan on overclocking you'd probably want to get the faster ram.
i've got a WD my book essential, not the premium. its been kind of flaky. i guess i'm not sure if its the drive or something else, but basically it periodically disconnects and then xp shows the 'new usb device detected' pop up. at first, that never happened. then sometimes it would happen...
use newegg's power search and search for cards with hdmi support. it should list the ones with hdmi that include audio.
from what i have seen though, the integrated audio on those cards is 5.1 whereas some sound cards are 7.1.
i am not really too impressed with the internet only devices. nokia has an internet tablet. the n800 comes in at around $250. the n810 (qwerty, gps) is expected to ship in november for around $450. at those prices i think it would be better to find a bargain 'normal' laptop. if you are just...
oem software is tied to the computer. there are some system upgrade restictions with vista oem. if you change the mother board and/or other key parts it will stop working. i am pretty sure you can just call microsoft and get a new password. kind of a hassle. also, with the retail you can...
someone buys a product and then sends it back the manufacturer for whatever reason. the manufacturer repairs it or corrects the deficiency (missing cable) or whatever and then sells it as re-certified. all products that are re-certified or refurbed must be labeled as so. this one doesnt say...
i dont know. "labeled by mediamax" makes me think it is re-certified/refurb or something like that. it is the same price as the re-certified 74gb raptors at the egg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822136067 newegg also has a lot better rankings than ascendtech.
i dont think the x1250 will play anything except solitaire and really old games. for light or moderate gaming you might want to check out a geforce 8600 or radeon 2600xt. they should both come in at around $100. the radeons have an hdmi w/audio out via a dvi adapter. a fanless one might be a...
thanks for the advice about the e2160. that seems like an easy overclock with out all the extra cooling devices.
any recommendations on the power supply? can i get by with a 450 watt atx or should i get a newer/larger atx12v?
thanks.
i am looking for some input on a current build. i've only done one build before and that was about 4 years ago. background info:
1. What YOUR PC will be used for.
i am looking for kind of a general purpose/versatile pc. some media center type stuff, dvd watching and burning, some...
