I'm looking at graphics cards with video-in video-out functionality. Does VIVO always give me the ability to send video in and pipe it in real time to the computer video output? I'm not terribly interested in turning the video-in to a big file on disk - more using it to make my computer a...
I have a brand new Samsung SM-332 CD-RW/DVD drive. I installed it into my ASUS-P4S533 based system running Windows XP.
Looks great, plays DVDs great, real quite too - but then I put in a music CD to play, bad stuff happens.
What I observe is the CD is never recognized (I've tried many, its...
You can still get the SS51G for $309 from TigerDirect
They didn't have any in stock last week when I looked, so I ended up getting mine for $319 at MWave. But Tiger does have them in stock as over writing.
My SS51G arrived today and I have to say its a *very* nice package - I'm just...
Dude I'm glad you mentioned the 7V mod because at 12V, its intended operating voltage that ORB has the noisiest 27db I ever heard. My Zalman 5500 CPU cooler that's supposed to be 34db max is much quieter at its max voltage than the ORB even after I did the 7V mod on the ORB.
However...
Okay, I'm feelnig like a bit of a retard here, but I have a soundcard (CL Audigy Platinum) that does 5.1 decoding and has S/PDIF output. I'm planing on hooking it up to my regular HIFI amp (tuner to Americans), preferably with a digital (or optical) connector. Since the soundcard does 5.1...
Thanks for all the excellent advice - maybe its time graphics card manufacturers started publishing acoustic info in their specs like hard drive makers do. I'll probably eventually go with the VisionTek Ti4600 upgrade (ouch). But I think I'll wait a month or so which will give me time to do a...
Well it must have been the memory - I got a 128Mb PC2100 DIMM from CompUSA and stuck that in. The CMOS had to be reset but after that the computer was working fine. No amount of retries at getting the PC3200 memory running worked. It was always a failed to detect memory error on boot.
The...
I have a one year old VisionTek GeForce3/AGP4x/2x/64MbDDR graphics card (its based on the original nVidia GF3 core before the Ti versions came out). I'm using it with a brand new Asus P4S533 mobo which is having memory problems. I'm clutching at straws to explain my mobo problems so I'm...
I've put together my dream quiet system: QuietPC PSU, Zalman CU-AL cooler and Maxtor 7200rpm hard drive with fluid dynamic bearing. Everything is around 30db or less and without video its super quiet...
However the graphics card is much noiser than everything else. Its an old VisionTek...
This is my first post - I was hoping it would be more upbeat but unfortunately its yet another litany of woe about my Asus P4S533 experience.
I've been having problem getting a system up using a P4S533 motherboard purchased from GoogleGear. I'm using it with a P4 2.4Ghz 533Mhz FSB and 512Mb of...
