    Overlay Controls tab disabled in Dets, any ideas

    Hmm thats weird, or am I confusing nVidias definition of overlay with ATI? I adjusted my Radeon's overlay and it brightened OpenGL, figured it worked the same here. Anyway I'll give it a try John, thanks for the tip. wepopfresh: I really cant imagine what you're trying to say, care to elaborate?

    Overlay Controls tab disabled in Dets, any ideas

    The "Overlay Controls" tab of "Additional Properties" is grayed out and no options below it (brightness, hue, etc) can be adjusted. It's on a Gainward GF3 Ti200 in XP Pro. Tried several Dets, incuding the ones from the drivers CD, adjusted it with RivaTuner but the changes dont show up in...

    Is there a way to check for faulty IDE cables?

    What cable modem are you using with your Optimum Online connection?

    This is a unique issue for OOL users, virtually no other cable company gives users so much bandwidth. That said, I've used the 3com and the Terayon, heres my take: The 3com is usually slower, although less prone to packet lose, 3com is no longer making modems however. The Terayon is usually...

    32x vs 24x CD-Rw

    The Lite-On 24X is so ridiculously cheap, about $80, just get it now.

    question is the LITE-ON LTR-24102B-02 burnproof????

    It has "JustLink", basically the same thing without the expensive royalties to Sanyo (BURN-prood owner). I *think* those model numbers just indicate retail/OEM, same drive.

    Bling Bling why don't they thunk it?

    Because it doesn't actually work. These are sold of course, people have tried it before. The problem is the airflow is less than fully effective due to the friction it's hitting. Plus in some cases where the shroud doesn't cover the entire fan, the air is then blowing onto the socket and...

    Looking 4 A Mouse? Stick with Logitech...

    I love the Logitech shape and design but the drivers have NEVER worked right for me. I have to use that cumbersome wheel patch on their site for certain games to work, Q3 wont bind to the side button, etc. I've tried the method of using the generic mouse drivers or MS Intellimouse drivers but...

    Will it work.... Will it be good

    The GeForce2 TI is a big mistake in my opinion. The GeForce3 TI 200 is only $40 more and has vastly more staying power. As mentioned theres no reason not to go DDR and the Epox 8KHA+ is the favorite around here. Everything else seems fine.

    13 Boards with KT266A and nForce 420D @ Tom's Hardware

    Finalizing new comp parts....need advice on a few

    For less noise and a better heatsink mounting system, get the Alpha PAL8045. First, it natively uses 80mm fans which means more cmf(air flow) with less noise; plus it screws into the 4 mounting holes instead of clipping on the small plastic brackets; $35 at newegg. (The 8KHA+ has room for...

    NForce Motherboards: Opinions please

    I have to say if the A7N* is what it seems to be then I'm quite disappointed and hate to see such a great chipset go to no real use. Cmedia audio? Please. nForce has clearly and VASTLY superior audio BUILT IN the chipset. Use an add-in Cmedia chip because the Dolby Digital version costs a bit...

    What is the drawback of 32-bit RDRAM?

    Wasn't the entire idea of RDRAM to reduce pin count from SDRAM? Making it 32-bit will surely add to the pin count negating the whole idea. RDRAM runs too hot and has too many latency issues, it's as plain as that (Not to mention almost nothing really takes advantage of the bandwidth it offers...

    Anyone tried OCZs PC2700 DRR SDRAM?

    I'm afraid that is false, SnowPunk. DDR SDRAM is the proper name for PC2100 modules; SDR SDRAM for PC133. As to executor's question, it's garunteed to run at 166/333 MHz (CAS unknown), it will work in an nForce board but you likely wont be able to reach 166MHz FSB due to out of spec PCI/AGP buses.

    Panaflow owners please read

    Thats because the fan doesnt support RPM monitoring, a 3rd wire is useless... 2 wiresfor electricity and ground.

    Panaflow owners please read

    Most Panaflo's I've seen were untailed actually, I bought some tailed 3 pin's simply because I didnt feel like tailing them myself. I think all Panaflo's dont support RPM monitoring anyway, if you only have 2 wires coming from the fan into the tail then it doesnt.

    Hardware.fr reviews nForce 420-D

    This is what I dont understand. Regardless of which benchmarks you chose to beleive, they're marginal either way. What does it matter if one gets 210FPS in Q3 and the other gets 200? I mean seriously, think about the difference. I'm more intrested in simplicity, stability, and quality over...

    64-bit vs. 128-bit DDR

    128 has a higher pin count and therefore is more expensive to do on a board. 64bit DDR may be castrated but it cuts costs.

    Keeping 2 HDD's on top of each other a good idea? Yay or nay?

    Not the greatest idea with 7200RPM drives, they can get fairly hot. I agree withMitzi, put at least one in a 5.25" bay.

    DDR-Ram - what's the difference

    Ah I forgot, thanks for correcting me. That aside, the modules you are looking at must differ somehow then? Do you see "registered", "ECC", "2400", heat spreaders? I assume the capacity is the same.

    DDR-Ram - what's the difference

    If CAS latency isnt specified, assume it's 3. 2.5 is faster than 3, hence the premium.

    Am I going to Hell? I may have to build a i845 based system. Talk me out of it if possible..

    PC133 runs much cooler though, and as mentioned performance isnt as important as reliability and ability to cope with the enviornment. Dont skimp on the fan filters, wire mesh is the best if I remember. LCD is a great idea since they dont require air holes where impuritiescan enter.

    Is Mushkin Basic DDR memory good?

    It will have no problem running at it's intended speed, but "good" is subjective. It wont overclock like the high-pref sticks, that's all really.

    Just ordered Epox 8kha+ and 512 MB Crucial DDR2100 memory..

    But did you mean 8K7A or 8KHA? If it was 8K7A then a BIOS update does allow 1/5th PCI divisor, and supposedly a 1/6th but I dont think anyone can reach 200MHz to try it.
