    DDR2-800 and Socket-AM2 woes D:

    Unfortunately, because my AM2 motherboard still hasn't been released (last thing I'm waiting on, dammit!) I can't tell you for sure... however, there is a forum on the OCZ website that may be able to help you. From the way it sounds, there are ways you can possibly get far enough into the...

    windvd problem.

    I couldn't tell you for sure... but considering windvd 1 is about 5-6 years old (I believe), perhaps you should just invest in better DVD playing software. If you want to troubleshoot it somewhat, however, try playing the DVD in Windows Media Player 9 or later. If the windvd codec is...

    second IDE HDD not detected in windows.

    I'm assuming by this that the hard drives are correctly set for master/slave operation? If so, then lePobz is probably right about the partitioning.

    Mouse suggestions (not for games)

    oh yeah, and it's a laser mouse too, so it's great for the graphics work you talked about... :thumbs:

    Looking at a card to hold me over til the DX10 ones come out

    As ASUS said, yeah they'll work fine... however you may want to check THIS article and reconsider your choice in motherboard chipsets. We'll see how things go as both nVidia and ATI get nearer to retail release, but for now it looks as though ATI has a monster enthusiast board on their hands...

    Mouse suggestions (not for games)

    Pretty much anything Logitech is the way to go. If you want a *REALLY* nice mouse, check out the Logitech MX610. It's usually way above $40, but it's on NewEgg right now for $42. I have one on my other computer and it's very comfortable and functional. Very handy for normal usage. Battery...

    Show & Tell - Speakers!

    Unfortunately, they are not. I actually wanted to get the T2900 when I was shopping for the set, but they had just been phased out. I picked up the T3000 from NewEgg for $30 after rebates and haven't looked back. They're suppossedly the successor to the T2900. A friend had the T2900 and I...

    Show & Tell - Speakers!

    If you're looking for a good set of cheap 2.1 speakers, I have the Creative Inspire T3000. I read a few reviews online prior to buying it, and they are generally better than the comparable Altec Lansing VS.2121 and Logitech X-230. A good review of the three can be read here. I have used...

    Need PSU buying help ASAP

    Actually, this may or may not make any difference. 18a is the maximum output each rail is rated for. Meaning, if you have 3 12v rails and 38a available total, two of the 12v rails could output 18a, but the third would only be able to output 2a. What you have to look at is the total amperage...

    Need PSU buying help ASAP

    agreed. Thermaltake's new PSU lineup is less than impressive. You will be very happy with the OCZ.

    SATA drive not working

    There is no such thing as a stupid question... everyone has to learn sometime. Open Device Manager (I believe you already know how to do this) and look for something called "HighPoint" or something like that. It will be some sort of disk controller, so you should be able to narrow down your...

    SATA drive not working

    The DFI site lists a few different drivers on THIS site for your motherboard. That one should have been it, however you can try THIS also and see if that will work. If that doesn't take care of it, I recommend that you contact someone at DFI concerning this issue. Also, just to be safe...

    SATA drive not working

    Yes, it is a SATA 1.5Gbps drive, you should have no compatibility issues, then. There is a possibility that there is a driver problem if you are not seeing it in windows. HERE is a link to the latest driver from the DFI website (I think). Try it and see if it helps. Otherwise, you can...

    SATA drive not working

    There are a couple of things I can think of that might be wrong here... Is the SATA drive you got SATA II (3.0Gbps) or SATA (1.5Gbps)? And which version is your motherboard capable of? If you have a SATA II 3.0Gbps hard drive, and your motherboard is SATA 1.5Gbps, you will have to change a...

    Widescreen LCD 20.1"

    Glad to hear it worked out for you, mate! I love my VX2025... now I just can't wait to get rid of my Radeon 9550 (OC'ed to 450/250 :cheese:) and Athlon XP 1800+... Maybe with my new rig I'll be able to hit that 100fps like you were talking about... btw, I think the whole black...

    ASUS R.O.G. Crosshair

    http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=101&l3=0&model=1283&modelmenu=1 What do you think? If it were an ATI chipset, I might go for it... maybe they'll come out with an Xpress 3200 one soon. The "LCD Poster" and "Onboard Switch" features seem like really good ideas. I don't know how...

    Dead computer

    Yup, I'd have to agree... probably just the motherboard, though. Not much else you can do with it besides RMA it. Good luck!

    Widescreen LCD 20.1"

    Nope, no artifacts noticable in full-resolution OR scaled-down resolution (even 4:3 pulldown). Well, except for the tearing I'm getting because I have a crappy vid card that doesn't handle Vsync (until I build the new computer in my sig, anyway)... but anyhow, yeah, no artifacts in games or...

    Widescreen LCD 20.1"

    I recommend the ViewSonic VX2025wm very highly. I currently own one, and I must say it is every bit as good as the reviews have indicated online - actually, even better. There are approx. three 20.1" widescreen monitors competing for the top tier right now. The Dell 2007w, the ViewSonic...
