    Gigabyte GeForce 6800 vanilla and Dell 2005FPW - no go?

    I have the Dell 2005FPW running on a Dell XPS Gen 4 with the Nvidia 6800 256mb video card. The 6800 supports the monitor at 1680 X 1050 just fine.

    Please recommend good Backup Software for XP!

    Drive Image 7.0 is well worth the money. It images your hard drive from within Windows without having to reboot. The software CD is also an XP boot CD that loads a small version of XP with network drivers and USB drivers so you can repair your drive by recovering an image from another drive, be...

    Multi-Format DVD Recorders

    Add the LG GSA-4040B to the list. Not only supports -R/+R and -RW/+RW, but supports DVD-RAM as well. It's the only drive currently available that supports all five DVD write formats.

    Aero 7+ (Jus thought I'd mention..)

    I previously had a Evercool solid copper HS with Evercool 70mm fan on an AMD 2500+ Barton at stock speed. That setup ran at less than 32db with the 70mm fan that came with it. By using a Zalman fan controller, I was able to get it down to around 28db (almost silent), with CPU temps that ran...

    Audigy2 firewire issue

    Here's a link to a page with all the pinouts for the Audigy cards, including the internal firewire connector: http://dmzweb4.europe.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=27,E=0000000000024081212,K=6896,Sxi=8,Case=obj(15530),VARSET=centric:280,Kb=creative_cli_en I got this same info from...

    Best Monitor for $270?

    I've got a NEC 97F 19" I bought from Staples for $269. Excellent text and graphics quality, good geometry. Just stay away from Envision - I had a 985E that I couldn't get the geometry right no matter what I tried. I exchanged it for the NEC.

    USB2 Problem

    I've got the Canon scanner model just under yours, and I have no problems with the scanner drivers (same as yours) and the VIA implementation of USB 2.0. The fact that it was seen before you loaded the USB 2.0 drivers seems to indicate that the scanner was found using USB 1.1 support, but not...

    I'm sure this is a dumb question re: GF4 TI4200...

    MSI does indeed make GeForce4 Ti4200 video cards with video in. The closest model number I could find close to the 8889 on their web site is the 8884, which does have video in and video out capabilities. Perhaps the 8889 is an OEM only model. Whatever the case, I'm sure the video card in that...

    What brand/model of GeForce 4 Ti 4200 should I get?

    I have to agree with Schadenfroh on the Asus cards: I just got the Asus V9280 TD 8X AGP about a week ago, and it is a great card with a great software bundle. Also, the Reader's Choice Awards 2002 at Tom's Hardware selected an Asus GeForce4 Ti4200 series as the best mainstream graphics card, and...

    USB2 Problem

    I had a similar problem with a USB 2.0 card, though not from the same manufacturer: when I installed the USB 2.0 drivers that came with the card, neither my Canon scanner nor my HP printer were recognized. After removing the drivers that came with the USB 2.0 card, I let XP install the native...

    Which position is better for fans? In or Out?

    2 output, 1 intake is the preferred fan setup. This gives your case negative air pressure, which is better at removing heat from the case.

    Barton 2500+ and cooling...??

    My 2500+ Barton runs about 7 degrees C cooler than my older 1800+ Palomino on the same heatsink/fan combo (39C under load vice 46C on an Evercool CU 725). There were no other changes in the system to account for the difference in temps, so I have to assume that either the Barton runs cooler, or...

    Anyone ever hear of Envision monitors?

    I bought a Envision EN-985e from Staples, and returned it the next day. I could never get the screen geometry correct - the top corners would curve down, and the bottom corners would curve up. I exchanged it for a NEC 97F, which was $50 more ($249 total). The NEC has been flawless in geometry...

    Back to square one

    I had this problem where I got similar errors to what you are experiencing. Like you, I tested both sticks individually, and they worked fine. It was when I put the two sticks in that I had the problems. So, perhaps your two sticks of RAM are not be playing well together. I would try new RAM...

    I bought an OEM version of Word 2002 for around $30 (can't recall exactly where. It came in a sealed envelope with a MS hologram CD and MS certificate of authenticity. I had no problems installing it or registering it with Microsoft (registration is required for Office XP products). The only...

    Nvidia 8X AGP Video Cards on KT400 Chipset Motherboards

    I recently experienced the hell of trying to get a Radeon 9700 Pro video card to not crash in 3D games while using 8X AGP (this is a widely known problem, and is due to a conflict between the way the KT400 chipset handles 8X AGP and ATI's implementation of 8X AGP). I had to resort to...

    Radeon 9700 Pro on Gigabyte GA-7VAX

    Pacfanweb, I see maybe one common thing between your system and mine - we both have Audigy sound cards (mine is an Audigy2). Do you suppose there is a conflict between the ATI video drivers and the Audigy drivers? If there is a conflict, my sound card takes precedence over my video card. I...

    Radeon 9700 Pro on Gigabyte GA-7VAX

    I have to agree that ATI generally has better image quality, but Nvidia image quality seems to have gotten better as each new generation of cards has come out. My GeForce3 Ti200 has image quality very close to the 9700 Pro (at least it worked for DVD playback), so returning to Nvidia is not a...

    Radeon 9700 Pro on Gigabyte GA-7VAX

    I have tried it on BIOS versions F8 and F10, with the same results each time. I've tried just about every BIOS setting and DirectX setting available. I've tried three diffeent sets of ATI drivers. I've been building computer systems as a hobby for ten years, and never have I experienced this...

    Radeon 9700 Pro on Gigabyte GA-7VAX

    I even had the problem with a freshly formatted hard drive with nothing installed but ATI driver, sound card driver, and Wolfenstein and 3DMark03 only, so it's not a driver conflict.

    Radeon 9700 Pro on Gigabyte GA-7VAX

    Lock ups happen in Return to Castle Wolfenstein and 3DMark03. Happens regardless of whether AA or ASF are turned on or off. Happens with either DirectX 8 or DirectX 9 installed. Passes DirectX diagnostics. Original GeForce 3 TI 200 has no such problems with the same games or benchmarks. Tried...

    I can't get my new Radeon 9700 Pro to work on my GA-7VAX motherboard. 2D works fine, but all 3D games and benchmarks either crash to the desktop or lock the computer. I have tried format and reinstall with just video drivers sound driver, and a couple of 3D games and benchmarks, but I still get...

    Looking for a quiet 70mm fan.

    I had the Evercool fan on my Evercool CUD-725 HSF, and the bearings went bad in less than 3 days. The second fan, replaced under warranty, lasted about a month before it started to get noisy. That's when I got the TMD, which is actually quieter than the Evercool, even though the specs say the...

    Looking for a quiet 70mm fan.

    I have the TMD medium speed fan on my Evercool CUD-725 copper heatsink, and it is VERY quiet with good airflow. It lowered my CPU temps 2 degrees C with less noise than the stock fan, which was quiet to begin with.

    Ghosting NTFS and FAT32

    Yes, it is true the Enterprise Editon of Ghost will write to NTFS partitions, but the Personal Edition will not. The Personal Edition works in DOS, and DOS cannot see NTFS partitions to write to them.

    Ghosting NTFS and FAT32

    While Ghost will create an image FROM a NTFS partition, it will not allow you to write an image TO a NTFS partition. Therefore, the partition you use to store NTFS images on MUST be FAT32.

    TMD Fans Rule!

    My stock fan ran about 4200 RPM. Using a Zalman Fanmate, I had lowered the RPMs to about 3700 (as measured by Motherboard Monitor) to reduce the noise. Unfortunately, reducing the fan RPM increased my CPU temps by 2C (46 max), but the noise reduction was worth it. As far as a noise comparison, I...

    Nero 5.5 OEM & RETAIL differences ?

    TMD Fans Rule!

    Just put a TMD fan on my Evercool CUD-725 copper heatsink. CPU temp went down 2C from the fan that came with the heatsink (now 43-44C under load on my Athlon XP 1800+). The fan is virtually whisper quiet, which is a big surprise for a 7800 RPM fan, and it looks cool too with its stainless steel...

    Duel boot from added HD?

    How about a hardware solution? There is a system that allows you to choose which hard drive to boot from through the use of a switch. Go here for more info: http://www6.tomshardware.com/storage/01q3/010727/index.html

    How should I arrange these drives on IDE channels?

    I agree with rbV5. If you don't add an additional controller, separate the DVD and CDRW on separate channels for best data transfer rate between the two devices. That arrangement also improves the hard drive to hard drive data transfer rate as well.
