    Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro

    How the heck does one unpack the F5 bios file? I downloaded something called "bios_k8nsp_f5.exe". I couldn't unpack it with Winrar. I tried running it in windows and a dos prompt skitters around in a command dos box. What happened to the good old days when you just unpacked a .bin file...

    Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro

    ruuvari, look carefully at the plastic posts on the retension frame. At the top, they have plastic pins that slide out. I didn't know, and initially tried to pry/chisel the retension fram off, until one of the plastic pins surprised me by loosening. Piece of cake after that. My alpha...

    Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro

    I believe I had a similar problem with burning cdrs. Updating ASPI seemed to fix the problem. Download at Adaptec.

    Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro

    tOiRb, thanks for your suggestion. I bought the Gigabyte dual bios because the extra bios seemed like a good backup security option (search these forums and you might find my thread from a few years ago about the Asus mobo that got the bad flash). I felt implicitly that I would be acting too...

    Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro

    Hey everyone, I've been lurking, but now I have two questions: (1) I've had the d@mnedest time getting games to run lately. I've installed the latest NVidia unified drivers & the updated ide drivers as well, but I'm getting crashing on all DirectX games. Temps are very low, so that's not...

    Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro

    Poppyq, you can lever out the white plastic pins that hold the built-on plastic retension frame to this mobo. When the plastic frame is removed, you'll have the two parallel holes needed to mount a metal frame.

    Sandra Benchmark

    The last major upgrade of the Sandra program was about six months ago. If I can recall correctly, the last AMD Athlon it reports for is the 1800+ and -- thus -- it only recognises pc2100 mems because that's all that existed at the time the proggy was released. That said, your performance...

    Zippy/Emacs AP2-5400F-RV2 400W : A Super Power Supply & A Good Buy?

    Zippy/Emacs AP2-5400F-RV2 400W : A Super Power Supply & A Good Buy?

    I was shopping for good-quality power supplies. I recollected that many members on the Anand boards had highly recommended ps's from PC Power & Cooling in the past. I found the following description of the Zippy/Emacs AP2-5400F-RV2 400W (rated up to 435W) power supply at Net Express -- an...

    bought a XP1500+, only showing up at 1GIG

    Okey, if the cpu is 'unlocked' then that means you should be able to set the fsb frequency (100mhz, 133mhz, or more) as well as the clock multiplier (3x, 4x, 4.5x, whatever) -- this is all typically done either by setting dip switches on your motherboard or by easily setting the values in bios...

    10,000rpm or 15,000...., help me chose!

    Hypermicro.com is a great site with fine customer support. Typically, you'll find a price that beats them by $10. at one of the other pricewatch.com vendors, but IMHO you pay for security with hypermicro. Don't forget, they give free shipping if you mention storagereview.com with your order...

    Jules Jurgenson Watch 34.99 Free Shipping

    WTH I added 3rd U160 SCSI drive and they keep failing back to narrow? *solved*

    Guzik's right: go into the SCSI BIOS during Post [it's CTRL-A for adaptec cards]. If your new drive doesn't show with the others, disconnect the others and see whether it detects at all. Still no luck? -- check the jumpers [DO NOT set the jumper for enable WIDE, because ultra 160 is much...

    How are NEC monitors compared to others? any suggestions between these?

    I had overall mediocre results with my Samsung 955SL (discolouration, broken pixels). Mine may be an isolated case though. Very happy with the NEC LC1700v.

    NEC Multisync LCD1700V -- Mini review

    Hey Canis, I've got this running with PowerDVD and it's wonderful. Note -- you'll see that the resolution of the average DVD (made for televisions) is not nearly as sharp as that of the average computer graphic. However, I get fast, flawless playback with my setup. Here's a KEY POINT: the...

    NEC Multisync LCD1700V -- Mini review

    Such as it is: I bought this 17" LCD new as a result of the wheedling Dell customer rep, who explained that the sales department had recently been treated to a new NEC-Mitsu incentives program. I was sceptical -- I had planned to get one of the 17.4" Planars, but the Dell guy pointed out that...

    Problems in NEC LCD 1810

    With lower-grade video cards, you will likely find screen artifacts if you attempt to use the NEC LCD (or any other LCD) at its "native resolution." I recently tried my new LCD1700V on my sis' old K6III rig and it would only do up to 600x800 without revealing distortion. Diminish the...
