Okay, got myself an SSD now. So I want to migrate my Windows boot drive to it. I have access to a couple of cloning utils that can properly copy system disks and make them bootable, so that's not a problem. However, I'm wondering if it's really that simple? I understand that there are some...

I understand that for some reason it will only recognize about 3.5GB but I've read different explanations as to why. According to MS website, XP will use 4 GB. So what's the deal, should I go with 4GB? It's only $30 more than 2GB. When I use the memory configurator doohickies they only find...

Hi y'all. I've just replaced the cdrom & dvdrom in my box with a samsung cdrw/dvdrom combi & a samsung dual layer dvd-rw. The drives both seem to work fine, but the problem is that the drive activity light on my case now stays lit constantly! This didn't happen with the old drives btw, and I...

Hi everyone. Plan to get a new computer next year. Was looking around on the Internet for a cheap PC for my parents and decided I should start looking for myself. Decided that I would like to go liquid cooled this time, so I decided to look for builders offering this feature. However, it...

Asus P4C800E Deluxe, 1024 Kingston memory, ATI 9600 Pro, Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS, one SATA Seagate drive, etc. and so forth... Temps are ok and I ran a short test of the memory with memtest and it was ok. It seems that every time I do almost anything, I end up getting a message that the system...

Hiya all, Currently have the XP2100 (Palamino) and looking to upgrade. The mobo (A7V8X) supports up to XP3000 (Barton) but I dont have that kind of cash. What would you advise an effective upgrade might be? (Havent decided whether I will o/c or not - too much work to be done for cooling - new...

Money Problems!!!Just the right Cure? I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial...

I have read that electrolytic capacitors are the least reliable component in power supplies. I have also read that there are motherboards with solid polymer capacitors. Are there any power supplies with solid polymer capacitors? Thank you in advance for all replies. -- Whenever I hear or think...

I mistakenly got an A7V8X-X instead of the A7N8X-X, so I'm just going to build another computer around the Via board, sell it, and get myself the nForce board that I wanted. Well I'm short on graphics cards so I'm also going...
