Good day, just wondered if anyone knew which size HD I can put on a MSI 6183 mobo. Just updated the bios to the last version (2000) and it says it can handle 40 gig ones. Will it take a bigger one (60 gig for instance). No info on the MSI site. Thanks in advance for any help Regards

Hi all, I have a few computers set up here in one room. My main computer, a "test" machine, and I was just given a couple low-end PCs. I was considering turning one of them into a media PC. Basically, it would just be a server that held all my media. I'd play the music or video over the network...

looking to build a budget first build ... and came up with the following partlist from ebuyer (using the star ratings to help guide me)... cost comes to about £150+ vat... I guess most iffy bit is integrated motherboard - not upgradeable etc... but gets lots of good reviews on ebuyer...

I plan on getting a new PSU fan and I'd like to avoid doing any soldering, so I'm thinking about connecting it to the motherboard, but I'm worried about leaving the 2 pins on the PSU molex fan connector open and bare because I fear that eventually dust would accumulate and short the...

Somebody told me that all of Australia was brought to a standstill today?

Hi. I just spent $500 to buy new parts to put together a new PC for myself. I hooked everything up, double checked all the cables before I turned her on, and hit the power button, and nothing happened. I checked the cables again, including the main power cable and the outlet. It all seems fine....

Strange little problem I got here. I run my selfbuilt system with a Gigabyte GA-7DX Motherboard, Athlon 1.33GHz, 512MB of 2100 DDR-SDRam and Win2000. A few months ago my Keyboard stopped working, I think first intermittently with beeping noises from the systems speaker. I soon found out that the...

I'm creating a new PC - I'd like to find out which CPU will give better performance in a PC used for digital video editing: An AMD Athlon XP 1800+ or an Intel Pentium 2GHz? A P-4 2.0GHz CPU is slightly faster than an Athlon XP 1800+. An XP 2000+ is about the same speed for less...

Thats my budget! What is the best setup I can expect to get for that amount? Thanks Joel

I am going to get a ASUS A7N8X delux motherboard and they give this QVL table in the specs. I assume that is workable system memory for this board. Is that correct? Also, the table lists DDR400 and DDR333...since I am going to get an AMD ATHLON XP 2800 "Barton" 333 FSB...I assume I need DDR333...

I have an HP 656c Deskjet and I bought a two pack black 29 ink by mistake. It takes a 20 black ink instead. I tried to return it, but I have no idea where I placed my receipt, so I'm stuck with these two 29 cartridges. I was wondering though, since the 20 & 29 cartridges look identical, if...

Well, I installed the Zallman 7000Cu CPU fan and cooler, the heavy one, and it fits and works fine. Yeah, it's heavy, but I don't believe it will be a problem unless the PC is bounced around, like during a move. I also installed a Seasonic 400W PS, and the combination made a huge difference. The...

When I installed my motherboard (over a year ago) there was no mention of installing mounting screws. However, after a bunch of posts in this newsgroup about people frying motherboards without mounting screws, should I bother to install some? Right now its screwed directly onto the...

A few days ago after some random crash / reset, my PC seems to have started having some strange problems. First off, I'm running XP sp1 on an Athlon XP 2000 system with 512 megs of ram, Audigy2, ATI video card. It started reporting that some essential system process had failed (SVChost, i think),...
