can I use a flat panel display with a V5?

I just gave my brother my old Voodoo5 and he's off to another part of the country with it. He phoned back saying he'd bought a flat panel display and that he was getting a "no signal" message on it. Are flat panel displays compatible with Voodoo 5's? If not what is the oldest graphics card that...

How do you pronounce Quincunx?

How do you pronounce Quincunx? I'm not geeky enough (yet) to go down the pub and talk about anti aliasing techniques with my friends, so I've never actually said this word. I keep reading it though and it's annoying me that I don't know how it's said. the way I'd say it it could be consrude as...

**Update, now with Mainboard comparision** All about P4 1.6a Northwood here!

I've just ordered my P4 1.6A. What a deal this processor is! Virtually guarunteed 2.2 GHz. And ofcourse when you actually run it at that speed it's actually faster than a default 2.2GHz P4 due to the FSB. 512KB cache. We all know cache ain't cheap. Nice one Intel! Also DDR memory for a P4 at...

CUSL2 and standby mode

I have an ASUS CUSL2 and Windows ME. It use to be that I the system went to sleep after the designated time and all was perfectly silent. I recently reinstalled Windows and set all my BIOS to default settings. Since that time I have fiddled and fiddled but i can't get my system to go into sleep...

Question about the Elsa Gladiac Geforce 3...

ELP - I have this problem also. I installed the drivers that came in the box and it's now an "NVIDIA RIVA TNT". It doesn't lack any functionality though. I noticed the driver is dated 06/08/2000. I'm going to install a more up to date one. Also, I cannot put my monitor up to 1280 x...

Will "pushing" your cdrom tray closed damage it?

I push it if I'm feeling lazy or if my computer is pissing me off or if I've had to change CD's for the nth time in the last 10 minutes. If I'm using some software that opens and closes the drawer for you then I always use that (no matter how long the delay is). The idea that clicking on some...

I WANT 3DFX BACK!!!!!!

I've been running a Voodoo 3 up until 2 days ago. I went down to my local computer store and the Voodoo 5 had been reduced from £240 down to £90. I've always been a 3dfx fan and owned a V2 and V3 and always wanted a V5. I know the V5 isn't as fast as the Geforce 2 but somehow it's got a special...

How do you make bootable CD's?

I've tried using Nero and it's option to make a boot CD from a floppy, but it didn't work. I don't understand why not. That's mainly why I was asking how to make a boot CD manually. Any thoughts on what the problem is? As I said the floppy that i used to make the CD in Nero with was a system...

How do you make bootable CD's?

Yeah - i thought about that. Windows ME doesn't let you get into MS-DOS without it being in a windows window though. The flash program won't let you flash memeory from an MSDOS window. Is there anyway of booting to MSDOS rather than Windows ME. I've tried holding doen control at the start and it...

Coppermine on a Gigabyte 6BXE?

I've been trying to work out if my Gigabyte 6BXE will take a P3 700. With the BIOS it's got in it at the moment it certainly doesn't work. The latest BIOS does support coppermines BUT I'm not sure if the PCB version of the motherboard I've got will accept it even with that new BIOS. It's PCB...

How do you make bootable CD's?

I'm needing to update my BIOS but the floppy port on my motherboard is damaged so I can't boot and flash it from a floppy. I tried copying all the files across from a floppy system disk to a CD plus the new bios and falsh program (io.sys, msdos.sys, drvspace.bin, command.com, bxe.f2e and...

What kind of stupidity caused damage have you done to your PC?

I switched the wattage selector from 230w to 115 watts on my PSU while it was still on (I thought it was off). There was a blue flash and a nice popping sound. I said "Oh sh*t!" and then just laughed. I've also blown two AGP slots - that pissed me off. I blew one, got a new mobo and...

Last time round I bought an N64. I was happy with that, but I do regret not buying a Playstation. I've repeatedly been impressed by the Playstaion and what it can do, even though the N64 was suppose to be technically superior to it. This time around it looks like history is going to repeat...
