I got a 9800pro and 9600XT, both arrived today and appear to work fine. I played around for 30 minutes in games and ran ATItool for 30 minutes without any errors. Pretty good deal considering free shipping, no tax for my state and I got $7.50 cash back from fat wallet + the $5 bonus.
I really...
Just picked one up. They only had one more in stock. Unfortunatly, it's a Xmas gift I picked up early so it's still in the box. But a couple of points:
It's advertised on the box as CD-R/RW compatable, so the previous poster is right. The website must just mean no MP3.
The manufacturer's...
Before you go around calling people liars, perhaps you should know something about what your talking about. One search on Google of the terms "nvidia tape out to production" brang this article as the first result:
This is on a chip which was only 50% new design, with half the transistors of...
If you read the 'reviews' at newegg you will see that the $112 card comes clocked at 230/230, basicly LELE. However, the reviews mention the memory as 3.6 or 3.3, which means it should reach 275+ without a problem. How far the core will go is unkown. but in order to get a decent OC you will...
I think that's a pretty open and shut case. They acknowledge that they moderate the reviews. So if they don't remove false statments and use those false statements as "a marketing device" I think they are in trouble. It would be a very blatent case, since the majority of reviews focus on the...
Sorry I don't have an answer to you problem, but for info on encoding check out www.doom9.net. If you can't find any answers on the site, check out the forums.

Frameserving allows you to edit video and send the results to a second program without saving the whole video to a file...
Try Virtualdub. It's a opensource solution that has many options.
For the offical release check out: www.virtualdub.org
There is also a modified version for unattended capturing somewhere that let's you set timers and such. But it's not a PVR or anything, if that's what your looking for...
I think the K7S6A is based on the SIS745 chipset, supports DDR333 (but no SDRAM slots this time) and actually has overclocking options, unlike the K7S5A. I don't know of anyone who sells them though (search at pricewatch for sis745 or K7S6A returned nothing, and I don't recall seeing a review)...
Perhaps now would be a good time to get a rambus based system? kidding
I noticed DDR PC2100 256MB sticks jumped from $53 to $61 since yesterday at crucial.com. Thus solidifying my choice to get the ECS K7S5A and stick with SDRAM until the prices come back down.
I just picked up a second 60GB Maxtor drive to match my existing drive so I can setup a raid-0 on my KT7-RAID.
Both drives work flawlessly (in UDMA 5) when setup individually. But produce data corruption when joined in a raid. When setting up the raid I don't change any cables or drive settings...
What I didn't like about the article was that he admits that most heat related failure is due to fan failure, but his test has nothing to do with fan failure. I bet for every 1 CPU that had the HSF fall of there are 20 that had the fan die. I know I forgot to plug the HS Fan in when tweaking my...
Also, there are no Divx compatable standalone DVD players. At least not yet. There are rumors of one coming out of taiwan but I've heard those rumors before. Things may be changing with the new divx4 codec, which is a legal codec. (unlike divx3.11 which is an illegal hack of the microsoft mpeg4...
delete the .pwl files in the windows directory. Restart and you'll get the windows logon. There may also be an option under control panel,users but I'm not at a win9x machine right now so i can't check.
I was encoding with nandub, but I find I like the new Divx4 codec much better. It doesn't require as much tweaking, supports SBC (2pass encoding) and produces great results. But even though they released the 'final' version of Divx4, I would still consider it a beta for the next couple of...
For some reason my brain got caught on this little exercise, I like recursion even though it gives me a headache....
so I started looking for patterns
3 x=1 2 3
y=1 123 213 321
2 132 231 312
4 x=1 2 3 4
y=1 1234 2134 3214 4231
2 1243 2143 3241 4213
3 1324 2341 3124 4321
4 1342 2314 3142...
I had the same thing happen to me. Not the same hardware changes tho, but same freezing problem.
I flashed my KT7 bios to the latest release (3r), put every setting back to where it was before, even clocked my cpu to default settings to test it out.
booted win2k fine, but anything played in...
I don't want to repeat what others are saying but...
My stock HSF was good enough to OC my duron 600, but then again I was starting at the bottom of the family and OC to the middle. Since your starting near the top (which is the max the retail HSF was designed to cool) you can't go much higher...
I think what WPCRSET is doing is enabling the chips HALT command. This lowers idle temps but does not lower load temps since HALT is not used during load anyway. However this can cause system instabilty on some systems. The reason for this is some powersupplies cannot handle the quick changing...
A couple of months ago I orderd a $99.99 HD + $.59 pens with a $25off$100 coupon.
The next day I check my order status and it said the HD was out of stock.
The only charge that showed up on my CC was an ~$25 credit.
Pens arrived the next day.
Thanks for the responses.
I'm happy with my current video card, since I'm not a big gamer. I think a cheaper HSF may be the way to go while I wait for cpu prices to come down.
Can someone answer these questions:
1. Why is the 266fsb 1GHZ Tbird $4 cheaper than the 200fsb version at compubuzz...
Thru my various wheelings and dealings I have a debit card with $77 dollars on it. I could add to it but that would cost me an extra dollar. Yes, I am that cheap.
So now I offer you the chance to live vicariously thru me and spend a grand total of $77 online, including S&H.
Current Sytem...
I just checked buy.com, the price droped another 5 bucks. now $167, before coupon or any click thru rebates. May be because of the plextor deal.
Just a thought, I ordered this drive yesterday. It hasn't shipped yet, can I get the buy.com pricematch and save the $5?
I gave it a try, even though...
This may be something everyone knows, but I didn't (and I want to get this damn 'junior' of my postings so..) there are several versions of the buy.com coupons. If you go to t-e-c-h-b-a-r-g-a-i-n-s.com (remove -'s) just find a buy.com coupon with a different product ID and expiration date...
Regarding finding a better deal on pricewatch...
I looked around pricewatch and the best I saw was $59 + $10-12 shipping, bare OEM chip with a 15 day DOA warranty, from a vendor I had never heard of, and that shipping is most likely UPS ground. total ~$70.
At buy.com it's ~$82 x 2, - $30 + $7...
No go. I could legally change my name, move to a different address, get a new credit card and open a new account on buy.com . I'll let you know if that works in a few months.
This is a good deal. I've already used one 30 of 150 at buy.com , can I use a second one on the same credit card, if I open a second account? I guess I'll tell you in a few minutes. :)
I haven't received my shipment comfirmation either (ordered late sunday night/early monday morning). Most likely it's because of the holiday weekend. The stock status online probably changes when the last item leaves the warehouse, but perhaps someone here knows if thats true.
I just ordered this and wanted to confirm with people who have received theirs that this is a retail box (heatsink,fan,full warranty). (I recently bought a quantum drive from buy.com and was surprised when it arrived as just a bare drive in a static bag. Not that I needed the accessories but it...
