i just put my new rig together (ordered the kt4 ultra right before the nforce boards came in *grumble*) complete with a athlon xp 1800 t-bred and 256M of crucial DDR2700. my video card (visiontek xtasy 6564) is already overclocked 220/485 and i had to bump the fsb in the bios to get the T-Bred...

im putting together a system with the msi kt4 ultra and it powers up fine but neither my hdd or cd drive are getting power and thus arent getting detected during the boot up sequence. but when i put them in my older system they work fine. everything else in the new system is getting power btw...

im building my pc as i type this. i have an msi kt4 ultra and i bought the chieftec server tower with acrylic window and 450 w power supply from newegg. ive ogt most of the easy wires hooked up (mostly the led ones) but theres a fat cord with a couple ground wires and a couple with very small...

well i just got an OEM WinXP Full in the mail so im going to stick with ntfs.

okay normally i have 2 drives at my disposal and boot to my junk one to format my main drive but this time i only have my primary drive and it has windows 2000 on it. how the hell do i format it? theres no restart in dos mode and when i bring up the prompt in accessories it says i have to...

i got this same drive from newegg last week for $62 shipped. great drive. even burns RAW DaO where my bros $140 Phillips does not. even my old 4 speed mitsumi burned RAW Dao :) no led while burning but who cares. i have yet to make a coaster with games or music.

my last card i was running was dual canopus pure 3-d II's and those were oc'd in software. i just got a visiontek xtasy gforce 3 6564 today and have no idea how to oc it.

okay cool. thanks a bunch for the reply. im not planning on sharing any files between the two anyway so that wont be a prob. they give you a decent manual with the router to explain the ipconfig stuff right?

okay theres two pc's in my house. one is my brothers which is running winxp home and is the one the dsl is currently connected too. my pc is running win2000 pro and i wanted to "share" his connection. from whet ive been able to find obviously i need a nic card for my pc and that a dsl router...

okay, in a couple days ill be putting my new rig together. GIGABYTE GA-7DX AMD-761 & VIA 686B T-Bird 1.2 1 Gig of SDRam TNT 2 Ultra IBM Deskstar 40G ATA133 60GPX Hercules Fortissomo Gamesound and was thinking of getting this case at newegg <A...

okay, within the next week im getting some "hand me down parts" from my brother, some of which include his old Gigabyte GA-7ZX mobo, 750M pc 133 ram (plus what i have will push over the 1000+ mark) and a 1.2G T-bird. ill be dual booting both Windows 2000/XP and was wondering how overclockable...

do you know if that Epox mobo houses T-birds and Durons as well as the XP's?

mostly i use my pc for my comm design work (mostly using photoshop, illustartor, quark) but will be using more programs in the future most notably maya. also it's getting increasingly hard to play the newer games with many of the effects on so id like to get back into gaming. right now i have a...

wow, thanks for all the replies guys. so i guess it's settled then, better mobo less cpu. but now is there much of a difference between a t-bird and duron. also, im looking to spend $200 on the mobo and cpu so whats the best mobo for that price range with the respective cpu you guys pick (tbird...

i was going to get the Epox 8KHA+ with the KT266A chipset and it supports DDR ram. i was wondering if it also supports SDRam as well or just DDR. im asking because im also buying a new HD and CPU at the same time so having to buy the DDR ram (at this moment) would be a bit much, but it would...
