trying to get this thing up to around 4.5, using multi of 44. in bios is says target cpu speed of around 4.5 as planned, however when i boot the system and run prime 95, cpu-z and everest are showing a cpu speed of 3400? its showing multiplier x44 and bus speed 77.3. why is my bus speed being...

OK just figured out the cause of the problem, so thought id post up here to help others out. apparently because win xp is outdated, you need to change the SATA settings in the BIOS from the default AHCI Mode to IDE Mode, or use a floppy disk with the AHCI drivers on. I dont even have a lfoppy...

Hi all, Iv just put a new machine together as my last one died, and I cant get it to boot! Spec is as follows 15-2500k with thermalright venomous cooler 4GB Corsair XMS3 (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit - CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 ASUS P8P67 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 PCI-Express...

yep i tried to google, but came up with very little. Nerovision goes out of sync, so thanks for the recommendation on that one. convert x to dvd is great, but i hear there are faster programs out there, so im just checking. Its no good to list a load of programs, i haven't got time to test them...

Hey all. What software would you guys recommend for converting movies i download from the net into DVD format. I will be burning with NERO in all probability so the software only needs cater for the conversion side of things. I will be converting the usual formats such as DIVX and XVID etc, and...

Hey all. I'm using a belkin wireless card, and the software provided to connect to wireless networks. I'm connecting to the same router as i previously did via cable, and never had any problems with it in the past. Now when i connect wirelessly, the network disconnects itself after around 5/10...

yeah mate, time will tell really. there are a lot of big plans for DX10, but which of them will actually come about is anyones guess. id say stick with xp until something comes out that you really wanna play. by then, there may wel be an xp patch or something similar

wow. the miracle mobo we've all been waiting for. ****, if i can just crank the FSB ill get whatever spped i want. new benchmarks here i come. you ****ing ****

For me, the story starts off decently but then it turns all alien and dodgy. lot of messing around with messy gameplay. im not trying to condemn it as a bad game - its very nice looking and pretty smoothe to play - just it wasnt my thing. you into your alien stuff?

that's just ridiculously loud. i cant imagine many environments where their use could be practical

I don't think you're capable of building a hard drive, sorry son. There's a reason we buy them. ;)

yup tis true. wouldnt worry too much, overclock that 6600 to 3.2/3.4 and crank whatever yo ucan out of the gtx, you'll be up into the 1200's before you know it.

cry me a river baby. you think 2.4 to 3.2 isnt a good overclock? think back to the pentium 3 days, what would you be getting then? chances are you can get that little extra from your chip by tweaking some settings and a little trial and error. no need for all this ' i hate my chip, i hate my...

someone's been at the horse porn!

Hey y'all. I've got a huge folder on my D drive that i wanna share over a network. To share however, XP Pro wants me to move the folder into the shared documents folder. Problem is, this is on the C drive. As you can see, this is problematic as i dont have the hours it'd take to copy or move it...
