Thanks man. What about this one http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-186-116&depa=1? It is slightly more, but maybe that one would be good. Also, my card came with a DVI cable, is digital better than analog for some reason? My 17" LCD has a DVI port, so I'll use that...

Oh, ok. Thanks. Well by "stock cooling" I meant a fan, like the stock fan that comes with the retail card. As I said in my first post, I would like to remove the passive heatsink and replace it with a thin fan because it is in the way of my PCI slot.

No, but all of my posts have been this... "hahahahhaa.... that is all"

I've heard of this one program, "ATI Tool" I think, that finds the best overclock speed to use. I guess I should get the stock cooler then? Where can I find one? Also, the tower I bought did not come with any fans. It is a Pentium 4 case version 1.1, or whatever it was. Well, I mean that's...

I am in the process of building a new pc, and i just bought an ATI RADEON X800 Pro PCIe OEM. This came with a passive heatsink, however, which takes up a lot of room (I have a micro ATX mobo and it covers up one of my two PCI slots) and supposedly is not as good as a fan (i think). I would...

Yes, there are certain reasons why everyone must use windows (like HL2!), but i do like linux a lot. There is actually a lot of support for many of the drivers you would ever need. Linux is not for n00bs though. Even if you know a lot about computers, it is still difficult to learn Linux...

Oh yeah, there is also when windows only recongnizes a certain capacity, but like you said, it will recognize up to 137GB. That is no conincidence, but is the exact amount that all windows recognize unless you tell it otherwise, so that is not the issue here.

Oh, btw, Pentium DOES have a 64-bit processor now, so :p It also has 2MB of cache, which is huge. If you like pentium I would go for that because it may not even need to use the RAM in some cases (I don't know anything about pentium/amd memory controls or whatever). Also, there is DDR2, so...

When they say your hard drive is 120GB, they actually mean it is 120 billion bytes. That is what most people perceive a GB to be, so that's no problem, but 1GB actually equals 2^30 bytes = 1.073 billion bytes. So, your 120 billion byte hard-drive should be 111.76GB in capacity. Both of these...

Btw, you said you will be getting PC2100 RAM, but that is kind of slow. I'm not sure about your mother board or anything, so maybe that's all it can handle, but I would recommend something like PC3200, if that would be compatible. I assume you are upgrading in order to play games like...

Yes, it's so obvious that I never even thought of that, lol. I just like to play the game dude.

Lol, always telling people they have warez. You know it could be possible that there are errors in the actual game, it just depends on how you play if they are unlocked.

From what I can tell, those would definitely be good components for gaming. I'm not sure about OCing, but I think most boards will OC pretty well. Only boards made by the same company as the processor may not OC very well. I know that AMD has locked their processors, but is that on the chip...

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the gel stuff for the processor. As you can tell from my sig, I'll be building a new comp soon, so this info will be helpful. I'm not using my old processor or anything like that, so I don't have to worry about solvents. I'll just have to come back later once I...

I think you can just right-click on your desktop and go Properties -> Screen Saver -> Power -> Power Schemes and then just change your Standby and Hibernate settings to never.

Yes, but... I suppose that's a good thought for others, though.

I know you can get an X700 Pro PCIe for under $200. The 128MB version is around $159 on newegg, and the 256MB version is $189. I'd recommend going for the 256MB, it's only $30, right? I almost went for the X700 myself recently, but I just won an X800 Pro PCIe on ebay for only $314! It...

THS? That's were I go to school (Troy High School).

I'm not sure about four items, but I think with three, the third item just gets shoved out of the teleporter onto the floor. I think you said it appears on the other side of the room? If it's still *somewhat* nearby it may just be your video card or something. I know it was difficult for me...

Yeah, I've had weird scripting errors too, but only after using noclip ;)
