low FPS with my 9600 Radeon Pro by
Kwijibo
Hi,
I just upgraded from a GeFroce2 MX 400 to a Sapphire 9600 Radeon Pro
128MB
I do see a dramatic difference in image quality but when I play
Warcraft III in a multiplayer game, my frame rate drops to as low as
5-10 FPS. I tried lowering the resolution and options in Warcraftiii
to low and off,...

Matt M
I was switching out video cards in my computer and snapped off a pin on
my monitor connector. Can this be repaired (maybe by me) or am I
screwed?

Fixed Biostar Problem by
John P.
I fought with my new Biostar MB for two weeks, tweak this, change that
setting, upgrade drivers, upgrade BIOS... a million different answers that
resulted in no solution.
I finally came up with the one simple switch that made it all work great...
I switched the Biostar MB for an MSI board. Yup......

Upgrade choices - Matsonic board with KT400? by
Neil
I want to upgrade my current 1ghz AMD system, and in turn use what I have
now to upgrade a far older 400mhz system used by one of my children.
I'm on a tight budget, since what we have works, so spending too much is
harder to justify (and I'm saving for a boat!). I'm attracted by the
tested...

AMD 233 and 333 for trade... by
Corey
I just realized I have a K6 233 and a K6-2 333 laying around not doing
anything. I was just wondering if anyone could use these. I would be
willing to trade. I'm looking for a few older games like Jedi Knight 2 and
the Microsoft Rally game. Also any parts that deal with water cooling a PC
would...

Voltages Q by
mdp
+/- 5% tolerance is typical of ATX power supplies. You appear to be within
this range.
3.39 / 3.30 = 2.7%
5.19 / 5.00 = 3.8%
12.22 / 12.00 = 1.8%
-11.99 / -12.00 = -0.1%
-5.33 / -5.00 = 6.6%
This, of course, assumes you are confident in your measurement technique and

The Stupid Red Green & Blue Monitor Self Test rectangle: Can I disable it ? by

The Damn thing usually times out in a minute after my computer goes into

cpu recommendations by

I am building a computer for my daughter to take to college. One of my

temp in her shared, unairconditioned dorm room as low as possible.

ASUS CD-RW by
Dr. T.J. Harrison
I rebuilt my PC just under a year ago and included an ASUS CD-RW 40r/48w/16rw IDE RP. Initially this worked fine but lately, if I try to burn a blank CD, it spins the blank but cannot detect it. I guess this is a hardware problem but, before I rip it out and return it, I'd appreciate hearing of...

Lights on, no one home by
José Tomás Marín D.
listen to El "Phantazmo".... I had the same problem and the cause was: THE
AGP CARD. Just move it 3mm up and turn it on again... or remove and put it
again, but not too pressed, just put it carefully. That's why the new
motherboards have a security lock for the video card... they don't fit
allways...

PC wont start running again. by
drumguy1384
hmmm ....
I won't say that I know this for sure, but the last time I saw symptoms like
this I had a dead processor.
However, the power supply may very well be the culprit as well (seems like
I've seen this as well) ... and it's far cheaper to swap.

Which would be quicker? by
Diogenes The Tramp
All other things being equal, which of these would be quicker:
2.4Ghz P4 (400Mhz) running with 1.0Gb of RDRAM (800Mhz)
2.8Ghz P4 (533Mhz) running with 1.0Gb of DDRAM (333Mhz)
Am I right in thinking that the increase in processor speed is going to be
offset by the slower DDR memory?
Just curious!
