Hi guys,
This one has had me scratching for a while. I have a P4 running Win2K Pro with 4 drives connected to two extra IDE controllers. Occasionally something would crash W2K and I would get BSOD and a self reboot. Lately I have been able to replicate it while playing some Xvid video...
I've haven't been able to find the power requirements of any Radeon 9600-based video card. Tried asking the manufacturer and ATI (about their Pro model) but got no answer. The Xtasy 9600 256 has a core running at 400Mhz (like the pro), passive heatsink, and eight hynix RAM chips. Has anyone...
My WD100BB-RTL failed on me and only had a 1 year warranty ... barely a year and quarter old now so I had to find a replacement. 8-( Fortunately BestBuy had the Ultra Series 160GB 7200 rpm with 8MB Cache:
$159 List
-40 Maxtor Rebate (Original UPC -- FL)
-20 BestBuy Rebate (Photocopy UPC --...
My NEC 5700A DVD-ROM (DELL OEM) originally had 3.07 firmware but I patched it to 3.43 in the hope that it would let me read DVD+RW but still no luck. This device is supposed to be able to read +RW. It reads +R with no problem though. Any 5700A owners here read +RW? Could you tell me what...
Dewey,
Are you on firmware 1.0d yet and what version of Nero? Nero 5.5.19.0 (not .1) with 1.0d burns the +RW. My current problem is that I could not get any of my +RW to play on my standalone player and other DVD-ROMs. CD+R works 100% though. I am using Sony, Verbatim, and Fuji media.
I just got one recently, it's not quite smooth sailing for me yet. I can write DVD+R and DVD+RW without problems. Playback is another story. DVD+R Fuji formatted with Video DVD works 100% on an DTH4200, NEC5700A, and PS2. I can't play back on Xbox though. +RW hasn't worked yet with any...
Hmmm ... that would be too bad. I wonder if I attach a Highpoint PCI RAID controller which shows up as a SCSI card will work in tandem with the Promise? Only one way to find out! :Q
Has anyone tried to use an Ultra100TX2 and Ultra133TX2 adapter together? I have one of each but could not successfully POST once I connect a drive to the second PCI adapter. Isn't this supposed to be possible (or am I being moronic)? I tried the tips at the Promise website about changing...
Went and bought the Maxtor 160GB (yes, it's a 5400rpm ... comes with an IDE card though). You have to send rebate forms to Maxtor and Compusa but both are asking for the original UPC label. But there is only one UPC label on the box. It's a sunday so there is no one to speak to on their...
Saw this in Greendale, MA BB B&M. Western Digital 80MB BB (2MB 7200RPM) Retail box for 149.99 - 50.00 Mail-in Rebate = 99.99. They had five boxes on the shelf. That's a little over a dollar per gigabyte and that's a 7200RPM drive. I would have bought one but I suceeded in resisting the urge.
Tried the Perfect Pillow from Linen & Things last night and I'm a bit dissapointed. The display felt soft enough and I really like the cover but it was too firm for me. At first I tried it with a pillow cover on but it felt like it wasn't molding quickly enough so I took it off (felt like it...
I've been in contact with Toshiba America about the upgradability of the Toshiba MEA110 MP3 player to allow use with Windows 2000/XP. I am told that it is not upgradeable. Meanwhile the asian release MEA110AS has a firmware and software upgrade process to support W2K/XP. I am told that they...
Noticed this yesterday at the local BB. WD1000BBRTL comes to $174.95 (95?) after a $75 instant rebate (list price is 249.95). Good until 4/6. Yes you'll pay sales tax but it may come out cheaper than with shipping. I bought one of these a month ago with an instant rebate that brought it...
I have a P4B266-C with 1.6A running nicely @ 2133Mhz with all automatic settings ... nothing really stressful. It's been running fine but I just wanted to check the 512MB Crucial (infineon) chip module I had before attempting any real overclocking. Test 3 showed a failure at 00ad778c 10.8Mb...
RalfHutter, the CPU speed had 3 options, Manual|1600|2133 so I set it to 2133. I believe that the FSB set itself to 133. The CPU/Memory ratio was also set to Auto. RAM was set to SPD. Unfortunately, I can't check it right now because my video card went out on me.
I have a Crucial 512MB module ... I read a review somewhere where the module had Micron chips ... what I received had Infineon (probably should've bought that mushkin ... oh well). Besides the 311Mhz(?) from RalfHutter, what's the fastest that anyone has gone with these chips? I'm using a...
