    MSI Geforce4 Ti4400 doesn't have an MSI HSF?

    I highly doubt that newegg is opening MSI boxes and replacing the MSI boards with nVidia reference boards. Considering there aren't that many nVidia reference boards circulating around, especially to retailers, this just isn't likely. It's also unlikely that MSI is shipping nVidia reference...

    parts suggestion for $700 computer?

    Great config there, Insane3D, just one question: does the Radeon 8500LE come with a DVI input? Looking at the page, it doesn't look like it does; gfunknation specified that he needed one, probably for that shiny new 19" LCD (I wish I had that kind of cash . . . :)). That's a great price for...

    What would you do? SS51 or New Video card for my MATX box.

    Well, hmmm . . . why not pick up the SS51 and sell the old case, power supply, and motherboard? I'm sure you could find a buyer for some or all of those pieces, and then it wouldn't set you back the full $300. As you mentioned, the upgrade to a GeForce4 wouldn't be all that useful at 1024x768...

    parts suggestion for $700 computer?

    Okay, here's what I came up with. It comes to $811.03 from newegg.com, which is a great, reliable place to buy this kind of stuff. It does not, however, include any optical drives, because you didn't list any in your budget. I assume you must have some already. :) Case: Chieftec black server...

    Differences in Crucial 256 DDR PC2100 Ram?

    I think that the only significant difference between the two chips is the "8T" on the US chip and the "16T" on the MY one. IMO, this indicates that the former chip has 8 banks of memory, while the latter has 16. In other words, the 8T chip contains 8 256Mbit chips, while the 16T contains 16...

    No sounds from CD-ROM headphone jack

    Uh, I think you're a bit confused about what those jacks are for. The "outputs" on your Audigy aren't outputs at all, they're inputs. You don't get sound back from the sound card to the CD-RW or DVD-ROM, the drives just pipe audio into the sound card when you play an Audio CD. Plugging your...

    Mac Question

    I think those iMacs only used SO-DIMMs, like those found in laptops; it was only later that Apple moved to standard DIMMs for the iMac. Check the specs on the machine. If it turns out that the iMac does use standard DIMMs, then there should be no problem using that memory. Good luck, Nick

    Unknown USB Controller driving us MAD!!!

    Have you installed all the motherboard drivers? Windows sometimes has trouble autodetecting USB controllers, especially if they're USB 2.0 ones. What motherboard do you have and what operating system are you running? Nick

    surround sound on 8IRXP AC'97

    I would definitely install the motherboard drivers first, since they may be required to get XP to properly detect the onboard sound. Then you should be able to do it by going into the audio control panel and mucking about with the settings in there. Look under either "Speaker Settings" in the...

    SB Live Value or Turtle Beach Santa Cruz?

    The Santa Cruz is a great card. As franguinho said, it is fully supported under Windows XP. The card puts out absolutely phenomenal sound in music and games using my Creative Inspire 4.1 speaker set. Not the best speakers in the world, but the Santa Cruz still does an excellent job. Highly...

    Is my Santa Cruz Dead!!! :-(

    The only thing I can think of is to make sure you have all cables unplugged from the back of the card before trying to restore defaults. Other than that, I think you should contact Turtle Beach tech support and see if you can get an RMA. FWIW, I've used my TBSC under both Windows and Linux with...

    Has anyone ever converted a laptop LCD screen to VGA for a normal PC?

    To tell you the truth, I don't really think it's possible. IIRC, different manufacturers (and even different models) use different connections from the base of the laptop to the LCD, so you'd have to have a copy of the manufacturer's specs for the LCD and then wire up a custom adapter to take...

    DUDE! I'm gettin' a Dell! (need laptop for school, here's what I picked out, need suggestions/have questions)

    Looks like a fine configuration to me. Wish I could afford that. :) Dell is definitely one of the best places, if not the best place, to get a laptop. I have an Inspiron 8100 (a very minimal configuration, just needed a machine to travel with) and I love it. The UXGA display is 1600 x 1200...

    Do any laptops come with a SPIF output built-in?

    The port layout on the 8200 looks suspiciously similar to my 8100, so I think it still uses the breakout box. The thing is approx. 2-3" wide and about 1" high and 1" deep; it has a small (probably 3-6") cable to connect it to the laptop. If you really want, I can break out (no pun intended) my...

    New Video Cards, Direct 3D vs Open Glide

    First of all, I take it you mean Direct3D and OpenGL, right? Glide was the old 3dfx API that is no longer supported by any graphics card on the market; it essentially died with 3dfx. There's a lot that's different between the two APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), too much really to go...

    "Unknown Device" really UNknown (Solved . . . Mahalo!)

    The northbridge (MCH in Intel's terms) controls the "Processor to AGP Controller," not the southbridge. The "8215" is probably the 82815, the official name of the i815 chipset. You might try visiting Intel's 815 product page and downloading the drivers there to see if that updates anything...

    "Unknown Device" really UNknown (Solved . . . Mahalo!)

    Hmmm, either you (gasp) missed a setting in the BIOS :), or the option to disable really didn't disable. It looks as though the BIOS is trying to assign an IRQ or a memory range to the onboard devices even after they're "disabled." Weird . . . Good luck, Nick

    Samsung ram tweaking

    Actually those numbers don't look too bad. Remember that the other four sets of numbers on the graph are all using faster memory, either 4.2GB/sec RDRAM or 3.2GB/sec DDR memory. For the KT266A chipset under 2.7GB/sec DDR, those numbers are pretty good. You can tinker with your settings to see...

    Do any laptops come with a SPIF output built-in?

    Yeah, my Inspiron 8100 has an interface that hooks up to a breakout box which provides SPDIF out, composite out, and S-Video out. Really useful for TV out and hooking up to digital speakers and stuff. Highly recommended; although make sure you get the fastest hard drive you can, that seems to...

    Iwill dumps ALI for next performance Athlon board...the KK400 (KT400)....and Gigabyte's KT400 board.

    Yeah, I think the last number defines the number of ports: the 371 is a single-port (two-channel) version of the two-port 372, while the 374 is the four-port version that Abit uses on the AT7 and IT7 boards. Weird that Iwill should choose to only put one RAID port on the board: I mean, how much...

    AT7 and AT7 MAx

    The only other significant feature of the KT400 chipset is the 8x AGP support. The KT400 chipset has not been proven to have anymore than a 3-4% increase in performance, even when coupled with "DDR400" memory. For that matter, the KT400 is so new that I would think twice about investing in it...

    What's the fastest processor I can use in my Asus A7V?

    KT3 Ultra2 bad or W2K problem? Help needed

    AGP440.sys?? That's the AGP driver for an Intel 440 chipset motherboard, which you obviously do not have. There may be some problem with Win2K here. I would try a fresh install (possibly a reformat and reinstall if you can replace your data) and see what happens. It may have something to do...

    How is the K7S5a mobo??

    Wow, you might want to do a search on the forums about this one. This board has had a long and complicated history: some people swear by it, others swear that they'll never touch it, and still others just sit around and swear. ;) There have been high RMA rates on this board, I'll tell you...

    Abit NV7133-R vs. MSI KT3 Ultra2

    Smilin: LOL, I was thinking the exact same thing. I ended up going with the MSI board because I don't need the added features of the Abit board, the reviews on it looked great, especially in terms of stability, and because of the red color! I actually have a fire engine-red Gigabyte Radeon...

    DDR perfromance

    Well, considering that there aren't any 166FSB products on the market yet, any numbers that you could get would be a guess at best. I'd take a look at reviews around the net (Anandtech, Tom's Hardware, amdmb.com, etc.) and see if anyone has overclocked their FSB to 166 in any of those reviews...

    Incompatible ATAPI Device - Lite-ON DVD LTR-163

    Make sure that the IDE cable is properly seated and that there are no bent pins on the drive. If the tray ejects and the disc spins, then obviously the drive is receiving power. Other than that, I can't think of anything else, except to possibly reset the CMOS or to fool around with some...

    need suggestions on 17" LCD and DVD drive

    I think an IDE DVD drive would be fine, and probably cheaper too. The popular one seems to be the Pioneer slot-loading model, which you can buy for $44 at newegg. If you want to stick with SCSI though, Pioneer also makes a SCSI model, but it costs $92 at newegg. Good luck, Nick

    drivers and websites....

    Well, the only thing you really need drivers for there is the motherboard, and they should come on the CD with the motherboard. If you absolutely must have the latest drivers and BIOS, you can probably download them from MSI's website. The latest Via 4-in-1 drivers (which control the AGP slot...

    i need help with MSI KT3 Ultra 2 and Gainward GF2

    I don't have a lot of experience with these things, but it sounds like a DirectX problem. Do you have any OpenGL apps that you could try? I know you said you lost CS, but do you have any other OpenGL games? Try one of those and see what happens. If the thing still locks up, it's most likely...

    Nero + XP = I'm Screwed... reboots.. ??

    Do you have the "automatic restart" option unchecked in the system control panel? I think it's under "System -> advanced -> startup and recovery options" or something like that. If you uncheck that, then you should get a BSOD instead of a reboot. The BSOD should give you some clue as to what...
