Hello, Just wanted to get a few opinions on which fan to get to replace my dead Slot 1 SECC@ P3 733 fan. The original is a 2 fan job, so I went looking for one of those. But, then I came across some 3 fan jobs, and that intrigued me. Certainly, 3 fans must be better than 2, right? Also, my MB...

All this depends on the Motherboard. Sometimes Asus motherboards are picky. "John" wrote in message news:MPG.199a23195cbfca329896b0@news... On a PII400, Intel SE440BX, WIN98SE, would 2 memory modules be faster than using 3? I remember briefly reading something about this...

I just flashed a bios to an older Epox 8KHA+ MB that will be used for emergency replacement and extra storage, etc(I'll be replacing an Athlon 1600+ with a 2400+ cpu------never wanted to chance a bios change until now because everything was working very smooth). That system had a FAT32 formatted...

Not sure what they cost in England, but a geforce 4ti 4200 64mb would be neat. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\

I have a bad hard drive that has to be returned to Western Digital. It was the slave and has personal files as well as a Ghost image of my system drive. I'd like to get those things off the drive, but it's not accessible from Windows or DOS. The WD diagnostic program can "see" the drive, but...

I've just built a PC and powerup is a little underwhelming. The case fan and the CPU fan spin for about 1 second and then stop. Its an AMD K7 processor - but the power supply has PENTIUM on a large label. Is this power supply compatible with a K7? Any input appreciated.

Some systems I have seen have both the CD-ROM and the CD-RW. Others have just a CD-RW. Is there any advantage to NOT having the CD-ROM and having the CD-RW only? Thanks.

I am not familiar with that board but that connector on most board are marked. they are usually connect horizontally and the connector is usually in the bottom right. recheck your manual for directions "Athena" wrote in...

This is a hardware problem . . . not a windows problem. When I shutdown my computer (new mobo - Epox 8RDA3+) it stutters -- it acts like it's switching between turning off and starting. The fans spin up a little, then spin down, then spin back up . . . oscillating once a second or so. I have to...

I'm running a new KOGi L4AX LCD monitor on a Compaq 5400NX WinXP system (with onboard video) and every time that the system goes into energy save/power down mode the monitor is treating it like a power failure. When the system comes back up the monitor has split images that are all reversed and I...

Has anyone here got any experience with an "IWILL KA266plus" good or bad.

People don't usually see what's inside. What they see is what's outside. What can possibly compete with a high-recognition brand-name better than a flashy case? :)

Runs fine so far. You do have to mail in two rebates, but they print out all the paper work for you. http://tinyurl.com/j3fq _________________________ When your PC gives a little they give alot: http://tinyurl.com/hhez

I have found out that my Power Supply unit is on it's way out...... the fan is making some funny noises, anyway I have decide to get a new one... Could anyone tell me what power I should go for? My pc is a Athlon 600 with a Gigabyte mobo, The one that's in at the moment is 250watt. I can get a...

After much searching of the net, reading and asking advice, I have been unable to get my new pc (win xp home based os) to "see" my old pc (win 98se based os). However, both pc's can access the net via my router, and the old pc can "see" the new pc. Lots of people have advised me that xp home is...

I have a KR7A-RAID CPU with AMD 1900+ (model 6) CPU using Thermaltake Volcano 6 heatsink. Yesterday (for the first time) the CPU alarm went off when the CPU reached 60C. According to the WinBond Hardware Doctor monitor, my system is idling at 53C and climbs closer to 58-59 in just a few...

System: Gigabyte 8KNXP, P4 2.8C, 2gb RAM (Kingston DDR400 KVR400X64C3A/512) , not overclocked. When running Memtest86 v3 I get random errors at the very end of test #5. The "good" is always one of the following: ff7fffff, ffefffff, fff7ffff, or fffeffff--and the "bad" is always ffffffff. A...

In article , says... I'm looking for a guide which can give you a recommendation of wattage on a PSU, based on your PC components. In short, I'm wondering whether a 400watt PSU will do, or whether I would need to step up to a ...

I need some help deciding between these two. I'm putting together a budget gaming system, and wonder whether the ATI is worth the additional bucks. It has Direct X support built in, which the GigaByte doesn't seem to have. I don't know anything about differences in performance or quality of these...

From the bits I read on TomsHardware, I know that most MBs with 865PE can do HT and dual DDR just as well as the expensive 875. But after being very interested with a new Flex format case, I saw that ASUS has a Flex format board with the 865G chipset, and it does mention HT and dual DDR. Can the...
