For the past few months that I have had this build, I have been content with my system's gaming performance while avoiding any overclocking. Sure, sometimes there were some choppy parts in my games where the fps dropped, from GTA IV on moderate settings (it really hogs resources) even to World...

I've never installed or updated the driver/firmware for my BenQ DW1650 disk drive, but now I need to find an update for it because I cannot burn any disks on it (programs such as ImgBurn give me errors when I try to write a disk). Would anyone here know what is the latest driver for the DW...

Not many of you probably know about the EPU-6 engine: its a program that is available for the ASUS P5Q line of motherboards. Even though it is apparently designed for power saving and environmental friendliness, I have it installed and set to "turbo mode" which apparently offers the greatest...

I'm wondering, what's the difference between single channel and dual channel RAM? I'm planning on buying a total of 4 Gigs of RAM, so is there also a difference between two 2Gb sticks or just one?

Will do. Though I suppose I have to shut down my computer for that and restart again. So there's no risk of a hardware malfunction?

Back again for another horrid problem with my fresh install of Windows XP MCE. During the installation process, I had the luxury of receiving a BSOD with the following error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP: 0x0000000A blah blah blah It can't be a driver issue as my harddisks are reformatted, and...

Oh my goodness, it turns out the necissary files are back on Disk 1!!!! Installation is now continueing :) What a mindjob, never thought I'd have to go back to disk 1. I hope those few restarts won't screw up my installation.:rolleyes: Thanks anyways for the fast responses, guys. May my new...

Well yes, I have 2 CDs, and now it asks for another SP2 CD!

Hmm, I also found a download for SP2 exe, would the installer recognize that on a disk?

I got my XP MCE legally when I purchases my computer from MDG (Canadian computer retailer). It came with 2 disk installation CDs, that's all. I found an ISO I can burn of SP3 from Microsoft Download Page? Will that suffice for the installation?

At the moment, I've formatted my hard drives and am installing a fresh Windows XP MCE. However, it is now asking me to insert a CD with SP2, though I never had one? Is there anyway to skip this and update later after installation? Can I download the SP3 ISO image, burn it, and use that to...

Nevermind, I noticed that a motherboard driver was disabled. After enabling it, installation was fine. Now there's 1 more problem plagueing me since the start, and that is the BSOD. I've been getting them since Windows was reinstalled, and now happens within 1-3 min of booting. I don't know...

Alright, I realized that my BIOS was set to load my DVD drive as the primary boot instead of my SATA, so I fixed that and Windows loads properly now. However, it says the EPU-6 engine is installed upon boot, but then immediately after it says not installed!!! And indeed, there is nothing...

All the other drivers available on the disk are installed but this one. How would I go about changing boot order, in the BIOS options?

I have a enw ASUS P5Q motherboard, and I'm trying to install the EPU-6 Engine off of the installation disk. However, the trouble arises when setup finishes and the system automatically boots. Whenever the CD is in, instead of loading Windows XP as usual, it instead prompts me to select something...
