    system slows during optical drive access

    I read something about the DMA mode, but didn't see anything in the driver properties. I'll try loading newer drivers.

    system slows during optical drive access

    I use nero 6 with DVD shrink. The CPU does not rise much in terms of activity, yet the system behaves as if it had no resources left. We're talking no more than 10-15% cpu. The system slows down even when I do a windows file copy from the DVD drive to HD.

    system slows during optical drive access

    My new rig has been great except for DVD drive related activity. Any time I copy files from the drive, burn disks, or rip DVD’s, the system responsiveness takes a big hit. Just to give you an idea, it took 3 hours to rip and burn a movie in DVD shrink. On my old rig (AMD 64 3000) it would only...

    Can't run 720 res on LVM-37W1 + 7600 GS

    I have a HTPC with a Geforce 7600 GS hooked up to a Westinghouse LVM-37W1. Problem I'm running into is I can only run the screen in widescreen at full res. A 720 res is not available in my display properties. I tried adding a 1280x720, 1280x768, and 1200x800 to my custom modes under the nvidia...

    Good decent card for WoW at 1680*1050

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814170110 With MIR puts you just over 150. My 7600 gs is plenty for WoW, so I can imagine this card should do the trick. And it is the cheapest HDCP card made by nvidia at the egg. Don't know enough about ATI cards to reccomend any. Ron...

    board for HTPC

    Well, looks like the C2D E6400 is the way to go, but the choice of boards is slim compared to AM2 based boards. So far, these board are shaping up as possible choices. GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 ECS NFORCE 570 SLIT-A ASUS P5B-E

    board for HTPC

    Been out of the loop on hardware since I got a stable rig going :) Now that it has gone kaput, it's time to upgrade. The rig I'm planning is a HTPC with a full atx board. I was orginaly going for a micro-atx (ABIT NF-M2 nView) with x2 4200 65W, but came to the conclusion that I probably have...
