After a bunch of trying I finally tried replacing the new network card with the old card and removing the new card's drivers. Strangely the music-pausing/skipping problem remained. I can only guess the new card did something odd to my win98 system registry or something because the problem...

Kind of hardware and software related: I have two computers connected via an ethernet LAN switcher. The switcher then connects to an ADSL modem and out to my ISP (Bell Sympatico). The two computers are roughly 80 feet apart (multi-floor townhouse. One in basement, one in upstairs bedroom)...

Thanks for recommending a switcher, though I didn't use it quite how I thought I would. I just outright replaced the linksys ethernet hub I had with the switcher and wham-bam-thankyou-mam both computers suddenly had a 100 mbps connection. Turns out that linksys hub I was using was a freebie as...

I'm in one of those multi-floor townhouses. I've already set up the LAN and it works pretty good. ISP: Bell Sympatico High Speed (3000 kbps) LAN setup: modem and ethernet hub in basement. First computer is right there by the hub, so it has no speed or connection problems. The second...

I've checked that my d-link isn't sharing an IRQ with another card. It isn't. It has an IRQ all to itself. Switching what card is in what pci-slot DID affect audio playback. Depending on what went where, the pauses were less frequent or more frequent, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. At...

What is the typical temperature range my machine should operate within? I installed one of those wired indoor/outdoor thermometers so I can monitor the temp inside the case. Its one of those small digital ones where there's a 6ft cord with a sensor on the end so you can run it out and around a...

Yes, I know the math. Despite tweaking the rev.1.1 t2p4s always maxed out at 397mhz when tested (it did say "400mhz" during boot-up), but you know how things are. I do own a cheap soldering gun, and did take a grade 10 electronics shop class, but the only stuff I've really worked on for...

Thankfully we found a sdram that was detected correctly. My dad took his computer to a new shop here in town and they went through nearly a dozen assorted new and used pc100 and pc133 sdrams until they found one that worked totally right. Not the kind of problem you'd expect for a pentium-3...

Thanks for recommending uniflash. It let me flash the bios no problem. (so it must have just have been the awdflash program that was messing up.) So my t2p4 now runs a little better because I can run my 60ns simms with the 60ns bios settings. (Its not much of a speed increase over running...

Actually, I got the overclocking info from the brains here at Tom's Hardware (a few-years-old article entitled "Oldie Tuning; Asus p55t2p4" or something to that sort). It just struck me as odd. FSB's at 50, 55, 60, 66, 75, 83, and then wham, 102. I mean if you look at the increments between...

My dad has a HP pavilion 510n at 1.2ghz pentium3 cpu. After checking it out I've determined it to have a Trigem "lomita" mobo. The system came with only 256mb ram (pc100 sdram). According to HP, the mobo supports up to 512mb ram total. We couldn't find a 256mb pc100 sdram but the guy at the...

I have both a rev.1.1 p55t2p4s and a rev.3.10 p55t2p4 There are essentially 3 differences between teh two boards. The "S" on the lower-revision board means its has a SCSI port built in, as well as a total of 6 simm slots. And because rev1.1 only has a max FSB of 75mhz it maxes out at 400mhz...

I have a rev.3.10 of the ASUS p55t2p4. I know how to set the FSB at 66, 75, 83, and 102 mhz (I know they don't boot at 102mhz). Currently it's running at 500mhz. I however have a k6-2 533mhz cpu. Is there any way to set my mobo to have an FSB of 88mhz? Is it something simple like...

Problem: after upgrading my ethernet card my sound card started making pops and occasionally pausing in the middle of playing music. I've heard this can be caused by pci latency, but typically the articles I've seen say that pci latency is usually caused by the video card rather than the...

I used to have an old pentium 166mhz which I ran win98se on without problems. I have recently upgraded to a pentium2 at 400mhz with 160mb ram, and was interested if anyone recommended switching to a slightly newer version of windows (winME perhaps) to get the most out of my new system. It...
