a friend of mine read a few months ago that HP(he thought) was working on an $800 dvd-r(not dvd-ram) burner... I cant find it anywhere. Is it made? Does another company make it? I dont want a $5000 dvd-r burner from pioneer!
Hi,
Im upgrading my parents computer. Its an old Gateway Pentium II - 266. Im trying to be as cheap as possible. The unit only has a 200 watt power supply, will this power a celeron 533 or a Duron 650? Thanks.
Everytime I play a video clip larger than 160 x120 with Real Player or Windows Media Player my computer locks up about 3 or 4 seconds into the clip. I think the clips are 320 x 240. I dont have any trouble with smaller clips that are 160 x 120. Whats going on? I have this trouble on more...
Anyone know where you can download the "Transfomers" cartoons? I hear you can download in Realvideo format... I've been trying to buy them for years but cant find them. I recently saw a few episodes at the video store but nearly 100 aired!
I find them on e- bay but they are just...
Can anyone tell me what temperature the Athlon 800 should be running at? According to my gigabyte software, my cpu is running at 44 degrees Celcius.... however, the temp gauge in my bios says 51 degress C! Which one is right?? Doesnt make sense because the software should retrieve the info...
Hi,
I understand for alot of us that overclocking is a hobby.. but for others that just want a faster pc for cheap, does it really make sense?
Think about, by the time you spend extra money for a larger case, extra fans, and an expensive cpu cooler, you could have probably bought a 100mhz(or...
Hi,
Just stared using Lost & Found to recover files on a drive I formatted. Problem is it will only let me select my floppy as a destination. I have two other empty hard drives, why wont it let me back up the files to there? Am I doing something wrong? They are ultra dma 66 drives.
I think most of us in this forum build our own systems and dont have a bezel(the square on your computer case where a company sticks there logo) to put on our case.
I think Anand should look into getting some nice color "Anandtech.com" case bezels made.. they are cheap in mass...
Anyone know the decibael rating on the powersupply? Im debating between the Enermax 350 or the Silencer 275 ATX which is 36 db.
I really dont want to buy the silencer because I dont know if it will have enough power for my system, but I work in an audio/video editing environment and cant have...
You have to remember that any type of sound insulation will also add heat to the inside of your case. I tried dynamat with no luck about 2 years ago. Its also very important to understand how Dynmat works... it converts sound to heat! You can probably read that on their web site.
Anyone know where I can find a good price on a quiet 300 watt atx power supply for my athlon?? I had a 300 watt powerman.. way way too noisy!
Who makes these quiet power supplies? Thanks
You have a lot of hard drives and a video card that pulls a lot of juice. Pickup a new 300 watt supply for $50. Even if your system will run with your powersupply you can damage equipment by not supplying enough power.. power sags(running with low power) are bad.
I am using a Powerman 300 watt power supply in my AMD system. Its very loud. Any way to quiet it down? It uses a single 3" fan(ball bearing) inside...
I noticed my older powerman powersupply(235 watt) has "noise killer" written on it(it was quiet).. whats this? The only...
I am currently using a supercase mid tower... the metal is kind of cheap inside the case. and its very noisy!
I have a full tower inwin case I could use(its ugly though). Would there be less noise coming from a larger case? I would be using same powersupply and everything.
How do I enable DMA for my ultra dma hard drives under Windows 98? I am using an AMD EIDE drivers. When I click on hard drive properties there is no click box for DMA.. Is it automatically enabled?
How much slower will cable modem connections be once most people start using them instead of regular modems? Right now Im downloading 4.5 meg files in about half a minute!
Is anyone using the 300watt Powerman power supply with the Athlon 800?
Should this setup be ok:
Athlon 800
256 megs pc100 sdram
gigabyte 7ixe mobo
15 gig 7200 rpm system drive(maxtor)
Two 30 gig 7200 rpm drives for video(maxtor)
Matrox g400 32 meg
Matrox rt2000 capture card

If you are doing a lot of scanning you want a large monitor(21") not two smaller ones.
Dual monitors are primarily used for video editing... one monitor with timeline, video monitor, fx, etc... the other lists video files.
I am building an Athlon 800 system and am planning on using a tower case with a 235W power supply... I though I read somewhere that you have to use a 300 watt power supply with Athlons.. is this true? or is my 235 watt ok?
