Thank you very much for the info. No I must have been confusing in my description. I am able to connect to my phone via hotspot and WiFi dongle, it just shows no internet access. I've tried numerous recommendations from other internet sources, but no solution.i I am going to try USB...

This is an ongoing issue that I've never solved. I do not have internet where I currently live, but get by with just using my phone. However there are times when I need to download graphics card or other drivers. I have a wireless WiFi dongle and believe I used it successfully in the past...

Thank you both.

The way things go for me the ports are probably messed up by the previous owner. Maybe someone tried shoving the controllers in the wrong ports full force? Who knows.......

The odd thing is that one of the 3 is, but it just won't fit at all. I pushed really hard and nothing doing.

I understand. If you think you may want to get rid of please let me know. Thanks.

Recently had the urge to play some retro, and realized I needed some memory card(s). I purchased a used pkg that included some memory cards but ended up being for PS2. I couldn't remember if they were interchangeable so went to insert one into the PS1 and it won't even fit. I was sure that...

I sure will. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. I did research it, but some were saying 400 plus which made no sense to me. This is exact model 7800GS that I'll be installing by the way so that is also reassuring.

I need to know if a 340 Watt PSU will be at least sufficient to test an old 7800GS AGP graphics card. I have other more powerful PSU's around, but they don't have the molex connections. The PC needs a minimum of 5 molex which includes 1 for the case fan, 2 for each HDD, 1 for the DVD, and 1...

Looked good when I checked the board before, but did not get a detailed view of every square inch. I need to do that. Otherwise the PC is now working fine. Just need to know if the 340 watt PSU will be sufficient to at least test the 7800GS AGP card. I don't have another more powerful PSU...

Sure did. That and the other PSU I think were the main issues I had with this PC that I mentioned in a different post.

First of all sorry if this should have been posted in either Graphics cards or Components sections. So currently trying to button up an old PC that I was given. I enjoy working with older PC's, and this one certainly is that. It currently has a Riva TNT 2 model 64 pro AGP graphics card and...

It's started booting fine now for some reason. Maybe bad PSU and dead CMOS battery. No clicking or surging sound. Hmmmmm. The loud constant audio sound was a keyboard issue which is gone now that I have a ps2 keyboard plugged in. Also in disk management I believe it showed both HDD's and...

Thanks. I saw that too, but I also found others stating that even some slower cards were not compatible with certain CPU's, and Motherboards. I'll get the exact motherboard listed later today.
