I just looked on Nvidia's site today and they updated the driver to 15.49. The new driver now lists support for the 630a / 7025 chipset. Thank you Nvidia.

Hi, I got a Shuttle SN68SG2 box that I want to run Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition. The drivers are the same as Windows 7. When I look on Nvidia's site, I select the nForce 630a / 7025 chipset and the 15.37 drivers show up under Windows 7 64-bit. However, when I click on the drivers, it...

The VelociRaptor should be much quieter due to the fact that it is a 2.5 inch drive mounted in a 3.5 inch enclosure. By doing this, the density of the disk is increased leading to fast performance, quieter operation, and lower temperatures. My friend has the VelociRaptor 300GB and loves it. I...

Thanks for the replies. I said 1280x1024 because that is all that my 19" Samsung LCD can support. So, I am taking it that the 8800GT should be able to play HIGH settings (DirectX 9) without issue. If I am able to sustain a constant 35 FPS, it should be playable.

Hi, Looking to build a new computer. I want to be able to play Crysis at 1280x1024 Very High/High Quality. This is the system I am currently considering: AMD Phenom 9850 Quad 2.5 GHz Asus M3A32 Deluxe Corsair XMS 2GB DDR2 1066 eVGA 8800GT 512MB Superclocked Windows XP Pro SP3 Will I...

Well...I only spent $15 for the processor. The computer is only used for testing software and has dual boot for Ubuntu.

Hi, I recently acquired an AMD T-Bird 1.3 GHz chip for a secondary computer I have. It currently has a Duron 900 which I plan to replace with the T-Bird. I have an Athlon XP 2400+ stock cooler that I am not using. The heatsink is only aluminum, but will it cool the T-Bird without issue...

Exacly. Use Daemon Tools. This is what you need to do. 1. Download and install Daemon Tools and MagicISO. 2. Insert the CD you want to use, and open MagicISO. 3. Once open, you can create an ISO image of a CD. 4. Then, use Daemon Tools to "mount" an ISO image. 5. Select your ISO image, and...

I don't think its possible to transfer from RAID0 to a single disk. The only thing to try would be to use Norton Ghost or a similar program to make an image from that array and save it to an external USB drive or a network drive. But....to my knowledge I don't think Ghost will work with RAID...

Well....on my server I have Motherboard Monitor which does a great job. On my desktop gaming rig....it's an Asus board, so I am using Asus Probe. What motherboard you running? My System: http://amdgamingrig.dyndns.org

Yes. Run the XP disc on bootup and reformat that partition and then pop out the CD and reboot. Or...you can try this. Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, then Disk Management. See if the partition exists, then if its listed, right click and select Format. Once the...

Norton USED to be a good program. Ever since about 2002 or 2003, it really started going downhill. Now...today....its bloat code. Freaken running 12 processes and using up about 85MB of memory. What a hog. Ditched it and run AVG which is FREE and only has 3 processes. Anyways....there should be...

Firefox all the way !!! What's better than being able to customize it yourself. So many add-ons. I love the "IE-Lite " add-on which allows you to right click on any web page and view it in Internet Explorer (those rare pages.) Firefox had tabbed browsing for a good 1 1/2 years before IE. Haha...

To rip DVD's onto the computer, I use DVD Shrink. Its free, and it allows you to rips the actual VOB's right from the DVD. Now...your problem is that you can't play VOB's in Windows Media Player. To play DVD's, I like to use WinDVD. Also, WinDVD will play the VOB's files, so after you rip the...

I am having a problem I cannot put a finger on. Well...here's the lowdown. The computer just randomly freezes, no blue screen or anything, just freezes at the current screen. I have to hit the reset button. These are the things that I've tried: 1. Ran Memtest86 - came back with 0 errors 2. Ran...
