Having just gotten a new PC, I have given my old one to my son. I have setup a simple LAN for the purpose of giving my Son internet access, allowing me to access old files, and to play games with him on a LAN. Everything works fine, except for playing games with my son on the LAN. Neither...

Need help getting my DSL connection to work on my Network

Jack: If one goes the "Cheap Way", does the main computer that is connected to the Net via Cable Connection, have to act as a server? Just got a New PC (OS is XP PRO). I have an onboard NIC, and added a second one. No conflicts; but also haven't hooked up my cable or LAN yet. If I plug...

LAN Question (Joining 2 PC's; my first time)

Thank you. Great information. I am confused by one thing however. Doesn't XP Pro have the controls necessary to accomplish my goals? Why would I need a third party program to merely give my son access to the net and plan games with him, via a two computer LAN ? Thank you again, Terrapin

When will Asus P4T533 be available in USA stores?

Using the latest Asus Bios driver vers. 1005 appears to have resolved the "stability" issues, using 1066 with the Asus P4T533-C. The only difference between this board and the P4T533 is one takes 1066 16 bit, and the most recent board takes 1066 32 bit rdram, removing the requirement of having...

p4t533-c kingston 1066 ok

Shagga: Hi. I'm confused. What specifically is the difference between the P4T533 and the P4T533-C ? I thought the P4T533-C supported 1066 32 bit as well, but perhaps I'm wrong and this is the only difference. If so, I have no plans to use 32bit, but if the P4T533 is more trouble free, it's...

Anyone know if on a performance basis, there is any difference between the 80, 100, or 120 gig WD JB LE Hard Drives? For some reason I'm remember the 120 performing faster due to larger platters, but that could be my imagination. Anyone? Thanks, Terrapin

If the P4T533-C will boot up the first time using 1066 Kingston, then isn't this just a matter of us not knowing that upon the initial boot up, to go into the bios and change the "Memory to FSB" setting to 4x, instead of leaving it at the default? In other words, had you done this, and...
