Hi everyone, is it true that in Ms Win Xp Pro, an installed harddrive can only run on the motherboard in which it was installed in? I have 2 motherboards, the old one can't read my HDD (previously it could, before I purchase a new one) Oh by the way, what do you guys usually do to your old...

Thanks for all the replies. Today, I tried to unplug 1 memory 256 - 333MHz that the seller lent me, and it doesn't restart anymore, at least until now. It's kind of weird though, since the memory unplugged is a new one from the box. If this is really the problem, does it means that my computer...

Crashman, I don't know whether the power supply is the main cause or not since it is quite new. How to calculate the power I need? My previous supply was replaced 3 months ago, the last one broke down. Since the seller is my friend and I don't know how much power my pc need, he just sold me a...

Hi everyone, My computers keeps restarting, most of the time when I play games (after around 20 minutes) and sometimes (quite rarely) it restarts 2 or 3 times while booting on windows logo (it just restarts 3 times in a minute before going 'normal'). What might be the cause? I'm pretty sure it...

lik, I also thought that it might be a PSU problem since the 9800 card needs an extra power. Over the last few days, the Intel Active Monitor sometimes popup an alert stating that the CPU power 12v dropped down to around 10.5v. But that happens this week, when I was using 9200SE (no problem) and...

Hi everyone, I bought Elsa 9800Pro (980FX) 1 month ago. After about 2 weeks from purchasing date, my computer keeps crashing after I play games about half an hour. Then, I asked the seller to replace my video card. It took about 2 weeks for him to replace it. He lend me a 9200SE card, it runs...

Ok thanks, I read about it too yesterday on Intel's website and I'm a abit disappointed that odd quantity doesn't count as 'dual channel'. Anyway, how important is it to go 'dual channel'?

Thanks JammyDodger, I currently have that kind of pair RAM that you talked about. Since I'm thinking about adding 1 RAM card, what kind of RAM card should I buy? Must it still be the same as the pair I currently have (same size same manufacturer)? If I purchase another card that is 512 and same...

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about purchasing an additional RAM, probably 512 MB PC3200, but I'm in doubt. First, my processor is 3Ghz HT that I bought about 3 months ago along with 2 x 256 MB DDR RAM PC3200. When I purchased it , the seller told me something about 'the memory should be identical...

Hi everyone, I currently got 4 additional fans and are hoping to make my pc cooler. I know that there are many guides about fan placement on the internet, but I think those guides are for 'closed computer casing', I let my pc case open both side all day. Currently, I have 2 additional fans...

Thank you then, I prefer rts games to fps games, and run at 1024x 768. Actually, I’m more concerned about the “Elsa” brand rather than the 9800 chip. Several days ago, I compared several cards that I was going to buy by browsing through tom’s hardware benchmarks, 9800 pro is near the top of the...

I just purchased Elsa 9800 Pro 128 MB (Falcox 980 FX) for $185, but I haven't got a chance to test it yet because my motherboard is currently being repaired. I want to ask people's opinion on this card. Is it a good one and can it support today's game well? Intel 865PERL 3GHz 512 DDR PC3200
