I have an nForce 2 board with a similar problem that just started doing it. It's gaining nearly an hour a day though. I'll look into the CMOS battery. Does anyone know the nominal voltage on these batteries?

Oh yeah, I've got tons of that stuff, but that would be the topic of another thread. Do you think if I wrote all this stuff down that people would be willing to buy a book of it? Life's Questions sounds good.

The Law

I've been thinking about this way too much lately. The U.S. has instituted a set of laws by which all of its citizens must abide. The code of law is so huge and diverse that in order to fully interpret it, one must hire a professional who specializes in a particular area of interest, be it...

If you can, I'd wait for the next generation Radeons. Even if you can't afford the shiny new stuff, the old cards are sure to take a dive in price.

I think generally, if they have the grey bumpers, then they are USB 2.0, whereas the blue bumpers indicated USB 1.1 At least my recorder 20 is USB 2.0 with grey bumpers.

For Retail Employees Only! Intel Promo: coming October P4 3Ghz w/ D865GBF Mobo & winXP for $199 || Tomorrow 10/8/03!!!!

I remember back when I used to work at Best Buy, Intel had an offer for a P2 400 w/ an Intel BX board for $200 and AMD had a similar deal, I believe it was a K6-2 350 w/ some kind of super socket 7 board for $99. I wonder what ever happened to the AMD deals.

I got an Antec 510W PSU from a friend. I hooked it up to my system and everything runs fine, and all the voltages are within about 3%, except the -5V rail, which reads 0V in the BIOS and in Motherboard monitor. Is it safe to run this PSU in my system like that? I haven't got the gall to open...

HOT!!! ati radeon 9500np 124.00

Pretty much any online vendor these days has these policies. OEM cards are just that. Warranties on OEM cards are often quite brief. Paying return shipping and 15% restocking fees is the norm now. Just look at Newegg, Allstarshop, GameVE, Googlegear, etc.
