Gigabyte boards and Windows XP

I purchased a p35-DS4 in june and had trouble with random errors at boot but an otherwise fully stable system. After much troubleshooting and a few reinstalls it turned out that the main 6-port SATA controller (ICH9R) was wither defective or didn't like my Samsung Spinpoint drive. Once I put the...

New Motherboard Issues (Asus P5B)

As previously suggested: please tell us if the Vista installation is from another computer or if you've installed it from CD in your new system. If it's not a new installation it would be a good idea to install a fresh copy of Vista or at leat do a repair install.

Asus Striker Extreme

I recently bought an Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus (same as Striker except southbridge) as a replacement to a faulty Gigabyte P35-DS4. At first I had trouble running my Mushkin 996535 1Gbx2 kit at its specified rating of 5-5-4-12-2T @ 1066 MHz, but then I saw that there are some differences between the...

Waves in the Screen on AIW 9800 Pro

You could have a ground loop problem. Personally I had trouble with noise from my Audigy that persisted until I upgraded my PSU, and I think the problem was in part due to that. However, there are other methods to try to test if that´s the problem: Ground loop problems You can google for...

Trouble with Epox 8RDA3+ and 3d screensavers

I just got my Epox 8RDA3+ (nForce 2 Ultra 400), and installation and setup was a breeze - still no crashes after intense benchmarking. However, it doesn't like 3D screensavers at all! The moment you try to switch to any 3D-saver, like Aquarium from WinXP plus pack, it begins to stutter severely...

What do you think of the sound from the 8RDA+ MB?

Sounds nice (your post, that is, not the 8RDA+ which I yet not own). Are the sound chips/cirquits the same on the 8RDA and 8RDA+, btw?

Should I upgrade to an nForce2 - performance?

Hehe, thanks man - I actually just realized that since the KT333 is essentially the same as KT266A except the clock speed, the performance difference between an nForce2 and a KT333 (with both running at 333 MHz FSB/memory ) should give a good hint of the difference between an nForce2 at 266 MHz...

Should I upgrade to an nForce2 - performance?

I've been using my present mobo, an Epox 8KHA+ (VIA KT266A), together with some decent (but not more) Apacer PC266 that does 140MHz at 2-2-3 timings since early 2002. I have 2 256MB sticks of that RAM. CPU is an XP 2000+, and video card a Geforce Ti 4400. The only demanding purpose I use the...

Is a 4600 worth the money over 4400?

Well, considering how "cheap" the 4600 has turned lately, I'd consider it. I own an MSI 4400 myself and am very satisfied with it, though. Edit: It clocks to 310/640 without hassle, but not much higher, btw.

"little girls with their hair on fire" (says survivor of bali explosion)

I went to Thailand with the girl and a couple of friends this summer, and at least there it wasn't unusual to see kids on the most popular tourist streets in the evenings. Dunno what they were doing, though, but they didn't look or act like prostitutes.

Man, why don't you pu an ad in at the FS/FT forum? Suggest that you'll take, say, a KT133A mobo with a Duron/Athlon 1 Ghz and a Geforce 3 Ti200 off somebody's hands for about $200... You have the RAM, can sell your own stuff, and I'm sure there's a lot of people sitting around wanting to buy a...

GF4: is it worth it?

I'll probably get a Geforce 4 4400 or a Geforce 4 4200 depending on price difference when the latter gets out, and since I'm using a Geforce 2 Pro 32MB (200/400 MHz) I expect to see a big difference. Partly because of the large on-board memory, since even slight AGP texture transferring can...

Geforce 3 pricing

Well here in Sweden you can still see a few Asus GF3 Ti500 for U$ 450-500, while the GF4 Ti4400 are rarely above $400. That's with 25% tax included. :(

How does the video-in function of the MSI Geforce 4 4400/4600 cards work? More specifically: 1. Can you connect both RCA and S-video cables to the video-in 4in1 adapter? 2. Does it have analogTV tuning capability, like a TV-in PCI card? Or does it only read a certain fixed TV frequency? 3. Does...

value of 0 over 0

Any limit you'll take of 0^0 will be 1, since by definition X^0=1 where X is any number. So it can't be proven that way at least. However, I wonder if this isn't sometimes defined so that 0^0=1?
