    EVGA Superclocked or no?

    Anybody else with any opinions before I switch my upgrade product? Am I going to regret it?

    EVGA Superclocked or no?

    I got an EVGA 7800GTX a few weeks ago and intend to use their stepup program to get a 7900GTX. I don't know whether to pick the superclocked version or not. I really want a super-fast video card that I can run games like FEAR on at high settings with great performance. So the Superclocked is...

    Just built my first PC..

    Well it sounds like it's working fine then. Put some software on it and see what happens - I betcha it'll boot to the OS ---- if there's an OS on it. ;-)

    Just built my first PC..

    Okay, first off, this is probably the least of your worries, but I think the option to turn off the full-screen thing is in the "Boot" submenu of BIOS, under "Boot Settings" or something like that - there's something called "Enable Full-Screen Logo" or something like that and you just need to...

    Old RAM question

    Yeah, they don't look any different to me, either. But it's weird, isn't it? They're both the exact same price, so it's not like they're trying to trick people out of a few more bucks or something. And this isn't the only retailer where I've seen this, either. Soviet, I'm with you on PC133...

    Is it possible to replace a laptop screen?

    It's definitely possible and I don't think it'll be as expensive as others may make it sound. I have an old laptop with a bad screen and I can get it replaced for $300 by a computer repair shop. I'm sure that doing it yourself is cheaper. However, I hear that it can be tricky to do by...

    RAM Testing

    So it turns out it was the RAM, but I didn't need to run the diagnostic to figure it out. While trying to install SP1, the system crashed, and kept rebooting immediately on entering Windows. I pulled one of the two memory sticks and the system wouldn't boot at all. I took that one out and put...

    Old RAM question

    I've got this old Asus A7V133 that I'm trying to rehab and I discovered that one of the RAM chips is bad, leaving me with only 128 MB of working PC133 RAM. Obviously if I want to get this working I need more. Searching for RAM, I see that there is one type of RAM that is used for Asus...

    RAM Testing

    Excellent - I saw this when I Googled for RAM tests, but wasn't sure it was what I wanted. I'll give it a try.

    RAM Testing

    The short version: I need a good bit of freeware that will let me check a stick of RAM to see if it's causing some errors. The long version: I'm trying to get my old crappy computer up and running for the kids. One day it just started rebooting every time WinXP tried to start up...

    Ready to Buy and Build

    I like that Fortron Power Supply a lot. I agree with the chorus of others here - invest in 2 GB of RAM and a fast video card, and spend what's left of your budget on everything else. Those two parts are important when running Windows and playing games.

    System Critique - Budget

    I'm helping put parts together for a friend for a new computer. He's running some 5-year-old crappy computer and wants to play some hot new games, like Civ 4. :) He doesn't like FPS's, so the requirements can be fairly low. But he's a big role-player, and I imagine he might like to give...

    $25 PSU budget

    dwcal, I am with you, man! There's a lot of snobbery on this site - power supplies are just one example, but it seems to be (lately) the thing that people enjoy going on about the most. I've put together many PCs, and sure, I've had a power supply or two go out, but it never blew up the rest...

    $25 PSU budget

    JediYoda - the picture of the sticker on Newegg shows that the 12V rail is rated at 25A. I don't know what the reviewer you quoted is seeing on his PSU, but it appears that the label on the one on Newegg gives a 25A rating for the 12V rail. Any idea why this discrepancy is there? As for...

    $25 PSU budget

    While I understand everyone's opinions concerning the power supply, I also understand the mindset of someone who doesn't want to spend extra money on a power supply. Some people just don't find them sexy. Personally, I'd go with the Logisys. It has 550W, and 25A on the 12V rail, which should...

    Overclocking Newbie

    I've been putting together PCs for a good long time, though I don't have nearly the experience of most of you guys. I feel that I understand the components well enough to delve into overclocking. I've got two goals here - one is just to learn how to max out system performance, and the other is...

    Mixing and Matching Speakers?

    Assuming all the impedances and such match, I don't think it would matter much to mix and match computer speakers. When setting up home theater it doesn't work too well, because each of the speakers has its own tone. Putting one brand of speakers with another can make the whole setup sound...

    My new rig

    Hee hee, yeah right. :) Oh well, at least it doesn't perform any *worse* than the 7900GT, eh? I bought my new stuff just as the 7900GT was hitting, and had pretty much made my decision by that point. You've gotta just pull the trigger sometime, ya know? I got an eVGA - I wonder if they'd...

    Is that true? Are there some benchmarks someplace I can look at? Just wondering... I just picked up a 7800GTX... did I make the wrong choice?

    Quick ITunes question

    Probably you can assume that. The purchased music playlist does not allow you to delete songs from it, most of the time. I'm sure somebody somewhere has figured out how to move songs off it somehow, though, and if it were me, I'd double check with the user before deleting them. If you...

    need a ram and mouse advice...

    On the RAM - I'm assuming that you have 512 MB right now? I'd probably just get a second stick. Make sure it's identical, though. As for the mouse, I just bought a Logitech MX518 for about $35 from Newegg. That particular mouse is out of stock now, but I thought I'd just mention that I...

    Can't format usb key

    Do you actually need to format a USB drive? If you want to erase everything on it, can't you just erase it? I've got one and I've never formatted it, even when I first got it. Are you sure you actually can? Not to sound stupid - hey, that's why I lurk these forums - to learn weird stuff...

    What happens if you hook a 20-pin PS to a 24-pin mobo?

    I'm sorry - are you talking about the square 4-pin connector, or are you talking about a flat connector like batmanuel was mentioning? Because as I said, he does have the square connector hooked up, but only 20 pins on the main connector. I'm thinking that it'll probably be fine, but since I...

    What happens if you hook a 20-pin PS to a 24-pin mobo?

    Huh, very interesting. I looked over the motherboard manual, but I don't see any information on what would happen if a 20-pin connector is plugged in. Is there a diagnostic or something that can be run to see if a PCIe card is functioning correctly? He has a 7800GT - I think it might be...

    What happens if you hook a 20-pin PS to a 24-pin mobo?

    Is that extra molex just the 4-pin auxiliary connector, or does it use one of the standard connectors from the PSU?

    What happens if you hook a 20-pin PS to a 24-pin mobo?

    So a friend of mine put together a computer, and his power supply only had a 20-pin mainboard connection and a 4-pin supplemental connector. His motherboard had a 24-pin main power socket. We hooked up the 20-pin to the main socket, and the 4-pin connector to a different socket (not the empty...

    Old Mobo, New VidCard - not working

    I'm upgrading an old computer, just for the heck of it really. It's got a K7T Pro2-A Motherboard with an AGP slot on it. A friend has a Ti4200 video card that he's letting me have cheap. I slotted in the new video card, and I have some serious video corruption that results, with lines of...

    Why was my thread locked?

    I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult, and I put my question in "Software" as I guess it's related to ICQ. But the question was really about my firewall. The firewall is part of my router. A router is a piece of hardware. I have a specific question about how to set up my hardware so that...

    ICQ and Firewall

    I tried to post this under the Hardware forum, as it's a question about my firewall, but apparently that's not the right place as it got locked. Let's try here instead. Does anyone know how to make a firewall work so that it will support ICQ? I can message but I can't chat. My firewall is...

    Why was my thread locked?

    Why was my thread called "Firewalls and ICQ" locked in the Hardware forum? Is a firewall not a piece of hardware, or what? Is there a special "Firewall" forum that I'm not aware of?

    Firewall and ICQ

    Does anyone know how to make ICQ work with a firewall? I am using a D-Link 713P gateway with a built-in firewall and can't make it work at all. It seems like messaging works, but I can't chat at all. The firewall is a pretty basic one and doesn't have a lot of features, so I'm not sure I can...

    Cable modem / router security

    Since I first got my cable modem a couple of years ago, I noticed that from time to time the access light would blink and flicker like crazy even when I wasn't doing anything to my computer. I just figured it was either the computer staying in touch with the network, or the cable company...
