    3200+ Venice won't go past 210fsb

    I read that it was 3 and 4.... but regardless I've tried both. Still sound like a SATA drive problem though?

    Hotflashing a DFI Lan Party NF3 250gb

    I don't have the board with me, it's actually my friend's.... but he said he tried the " DFI official" way of clearing the CMOS. Why the laugh at the hotflash? I corrupted my Ultra Infinity bios (cold boot problem stuff) and used my other friend's NF7s 2.0 to hotflash the DFI's chip.

    Hotflashing a DFI Lan Party NF3 250gb

    Does anybody know what boards share the same bios chip as this? I've got one with a corrupted bios and would like to hotflash its chip instead of RMA'ing the board. I also have a DFI Ultra Infinity NF2 so does anybody know if that board in particular can share the bios chip? Thanks

    1GB RAM vs. 2GB RAM

    Not sure which UT2k4 you're playing, but with AIM up, winamp playing, and UT2k4 running, i don't break 512mb. It gets close, but 512mb is all you need for it. I do have a gig though. Only game I've played so far to use more than 512mb is Planetside, but I'm sure there are others.

    Windows boots to a black screen

    Could there be some sort of compatability issue? I've never run into anything like this, or heard of it. Seems like everything should just work if i'm careful about it.

    Windows boots to a black screen

    Doesn't show any symptoms of overheating. It is consistant, no artifacting or whatnot. So i install Win2kPro sp4, Nvidia 3.13 drivers, then ATI drivers. When does direct x fit in the order? Any other ideas? Thanks

    Best Fan Controller?

    Does anybody make 4 to 3 pin converters for running tornados from a controller? I've heard of people making their own, but I'm not really up to that.

    Windows boots to a black screen

    What do you mean don't install anything that says Nvidia? I need to use the mobo drivers..... Which part of the Nvidia drivers don't work well with ATI?

    Windows boots to a black screen

    I have a major driver issue with my Asus 9600XT. When I try to boot into windows with the video drivers installed, I get a black screen. If I go to safe mode and uninstall the drivers, I can get into normal mode fine. I've tried many driver versions and reinstalling does nothing. I'm running...

    9600XT help fast!

    I just built a PC for somebody with the 9600XT, and have the HL2 coupon. I've read multiple times that you have access to steam and the current games like CS, but I can't figure out how to get it running. I have steam installed, but don't know what to do from there. Any help would be...

    New system and SATA problem

    Yeah, even though heat spreaders don't do anything, and 2.7 volts is wimpy. I run my Hyper X at 3 volts constantly, and others running all sorts of ram at even higher, namely BH5 stuff. I do agree that you should try 2.7v, absolutely no reason not to, especially to eliminate that variable.
