    Integrated Graphics: GeForce 9100 vs HD 4250

    I have been asked to replace a motherboard in an HP Pavilion p6320y desktop PC. The basic specifications are not an issue as there are plenty of AM3/AM3+ motherboards which support 4 DDR3 sticks, have at least 4 SATA ports and a PCI-e x16 slot in a micro-ATX form-factor. I was considering...

    Automatic Update Window Minimizing

    The one that gives me the most trouble is Windows XP (all the versions including Home, Professional and Media Center). I generally run the updates following a re-install, which I have set up with Service Pack 3 slipstreamed in. I used to launch Windows Update by clicking on Start > All...

    Automatic Update Window Minimizing

    Is there a way to prevent the Windows Update window(s) from automatically minimizing while updates are being downloaded or installed? I realize that it sounds like a minor annoyance, but it bugs me when the window minimizes and I can no longer track the progress of the updates. Sometimes when...

    Asus P8Z68-V PRO Drivers for Windows 2003 Server R2 Enterprise Edition

    If it is the 32-bit version then manually loading XP Professional 32-bit compatible drivers may work. I do not believe there was a significant departure in the kernel architecture until Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 builds. This Wikipedia page discusses driver compatibility between Windows...

    ASUS Crosshair V: Mixed Feelings

    Cool & Quiet is disabled by default in the UEFI (at least it was with the previous 2 BIOS versions). I have been toying around with it again today awaiting an e-mail reply for my RMA inquiry and currently when the board is powered on the CPU LED is Red and the SB_Crazy LED is lit, but still no...

    ASUS Crosshair V: Mixed Feelings

    I downloaded the BIOS update to my flash drive and went into the UEFI on system startup. I selected the EZ-Flash utility, loaded the BIOS file, then selected yes when it asked me if I wanted to write the new BIOS. It said that the process completed successfully and that the system would...

    1.5vv

    If it is indeed the 1.5v version of the memory then you should be able to set the voltage to 1.5v in the BIOS. You can run memtest to check whether it works or not. Within your operating system environment you can run something like Prime95 and choose one of the blend tests to verify...

    ASUS Crosshair V: Mixed Feelings

    I updated the BIOS to the beta version and I think I may have bricked the board. The lights turn on, all the fans spin up, but there is no output of any kind: USB devices receive no power, no video, PWM doesn't kick on and the fans spin at full throttle, etc... I tried clearing CMOS, but still...

    Asus P8Z68-V PRO Drivers for Windows 2003 Server R2 Enterprise Edition

    If I remember correctly, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition shared a lot of the same drivers; assuming that your OS is the 64-bit version. Perhaps try the 64-bit XP drivers?

    ASUS Crosshair V: Mixed Feelings

    I'll install it today and see how it goes. I RMA'd the video card and with any luck I'll have the new one in the next 10 to 14 days.

    ASUS Crosshair V: Mixed Feelings

    Thank you for the information. I couldn't resist the price on the 8GB kit, so I bought it knowing that I wouldn't get its full potential until I was able to get another kit running at 1600. It has been running flawlessly in my old board for a couple of months now at the 1333 speed, so I just...

    ASUS Crosshair V: Mixed Feelings

    My wife bought me the ASUS Crosshair V motherboard for our anniversary. I was naturally excited to install it and see how it would perform with two 460s in SLI (discussed in a previous post in the Video Card section). I spent a couple hours tearing down my old rig, cleaning everything and...

    GTX 460 SLi Question

    I don't know if I'll be dumping the new motherboard or not, that will depend on how Bulldozer turns out. I have no intention of purchasing an AMD video card now or in the future. I have always enjoyed their processors, but going back to the ATI days I always found nVidia performed better for...

    GTX 460 SLi Question

    Right now I play at 1920x1080, though I do plan to move up in the future. The current setup that I have is: Phenom II 955 @ 3.6 ASUS M4A79T Deluxe 12GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600 Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB Western Digital Enterprise Storage 500GB Cooler Master RS-A00 1000W PSU Cooler...

    GTX 460 SLi Question

    Thanks for the reply. I know a few of the more demanding games that I play are SLI ready and I wouldn't mind getting into Crysis 2 as well. I already use MSI Afterburner and have tweaked this card slightly with it, especially the fan control. In the particular setup I have the GPU fans are...

    GTX 460 SLi Question

    I am contemplating purchasing a second GTX 460 for SLi. In fact, I have been thinking about it since I bought the first 460. There is a good deal on Tiger today and I'm thinking about finally pulling the trigger. Of course there is a catch: the 460 in question is the OC2 version and the one...

    Seeking 26"+ 1920x1200 Glossy Display

    Seeking 26"+ 1920x1200 Glossy Display

    To elaborate a little further, I am looking for recommendations before purchasing a new LCD monitor. I was originally thinking of going with a 2560x1600 display, but they still seem to be in the $800+ range and that is a bit out of my budget at this point in time. Here are the requirements I...

    i5-2500 Voltage and Temperature

    I checked on the voltage in UEFI later last night and found where to adjust it. I reduced the voltage from "Auto" which was keeping it around the 1.225V mark I mentioned previously to 1.18 and it ran Prime95 overnight last night without crashing, reaching a max of 68C. I was really hoping for...

    i5-2500 Voltage and Temperature

    I will have to check the clock speed tomorrow when I take another look at it. I didn't change anything in UEFI, I just viewed the system information, made sure it was recognizing the memory, drives, etc and then saw the temperature, which is what started the Googling...

    HP dv4000 LCD Replacement

    I ordered a replacement LCD panel for an HP Pavilion dv4000 notebook PC. The original panel was a Samsung and the replacement is the same model of Samsung LCD. The replacement did not come with what appeared to be a sheet of aluminum foil that was glued to the back of the original LCD panel...

    Dell Inspiron with Display Issues

    The battery checks out fine, but just for good measure I did swap them and the power adapters, but still the same thing happens. I'm thinking that there must be some kind of voltage/current control at the circuit level that is out of whack. I realize it is more or less a waste of time at this...

    Dell Inspiron with Display Issues

    Thank you for the reply Pete. As you suggested, I tried the cable from the working unit and it still produced the same dim display. On the working unit the display, inverter and cable all seem to work fine. The screen has no issues on that one. Use the same components on the broken unit and...

    Dell Inspiron with Display Issues

    Hello everyone, I have been troubleshooting a Dell Inspiron 6000 for the better part of a week now. The system seems to run fine, but the display is always very dim. I started with the basics, adjusting the brightness up to the maximum through the display properties and by using the built-in...

    GPU "Limit" for Athlon 64 X2 7750 BE

    True. I will probably be building something new before the end of the year (leaning toward Intel this time around) and the pair of 460s in SLI should still be viable. The 7750 system is really just a temporary solution until I've had a chance to review the options available later this year and...

    GPU "Limit" for Athlon 64 X2 7750 BE

    Thank you for the replies. I think I am going to go with the 460. The 6850 is tempting, but I've always had good luck with nVidia cards and I could SLI the pair of them later. The 570 is just a bit too far out of the budget at the moment.

    GPU "Limit" for Athlon 64 X2 7750 BE

    PSU is a Seasonic S12II 520W. Resolution will be no higher than 1680x1050. As far as the 570 is concerned...I did consider buying one for my main PC and dropping the 460 into the 7750BE system, but I'm thinking the sub-$200 market probably has some worthwhile options. -MrCaffeineX

    GPU "Limit" for Athlon 64 X2 7750 BE

    I know that at some point the CPU will become the limiting factor for improved gaming performance given a specific GPU. My question is what video card is the "limit" (i.e. more powerful cards provide no significant performance boost) for this CPU? I have an old Athlon 64 X2 4800+ and if I...

    I have owned the MacBook Pro listed in my signature for a few years now. I have been running Windows XP Professional on it since the day I purchased it. I had at one point upgraded it to Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit and it performed very well, but I ended up going back to XP to free up some...

    How do you remove entries from the "Safely Remove Hardware" list in Windows Vista?

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit installed on one of my computer systems. It is installed on a nVidia RAID array, with striping. When I click on the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the taskbar, my RAID array appears in the list. I have been able to discern that this is due to SATA drives...

    Easiest (free) way to clone HD? (plus HD question)

    Samsung 470 Series SSDs

    Power Supply for EVGA GTX 480

    Thank you for the link to those review tables. There is a lot of information there that I never looked into before. As a result, I am now curious about some of the other power supplies I've got floating around. RAIDMAX was not listed on that page. Are they simply re-branding some other...

    Dual-core Atom-based Netbooks and some musings about Bobcat

    The Macbook Air might meet higher performance targets, but at what cost? Don't get me wrong, I love my Macbook Pro. However, even I cannot argue that it wasn't expensive. Netbooks were basically non-existent when I purchased the Macbook Pro and the Macbook Air was just a rumor back then...

    Dual-core Atom-based Netbooks and some musings about Bobcat

    I was just reading the preview on the new AMD Bobcat CPUs and the most anticipated advantage seems to be the out-of-order processing capabilities. I have used a number of netbooks, with Acer and ASUS models powered by 1.6GHz single-core atoms featuring 1GB memory along with 120GB HDDs being the...

    Problems with Netgear WNR3500L

    It did it again this morning. No SSID broadcast, no wireless connectivity, but the hardwired PC was still connected and working fine. I'm not sure if it was due to the firmware update or just that I failed to notice the last time it crashed, however this time I was able to go into the advanced...

    Windows XP "Full Packaged Product" Key Questions
