8 GB limit on a Pavilion 8240

videobruce

I'm up against the classic 8GB limit on a 15GB HDD. There is no bios update, it is a 430TX chipset with a PII 233 processor in a Pavilion 8240 system. Is a bios issue, chipset issue or is it a processor issue? Is there anything that can be done or am I screwed? This is running FAT32 and eventually loading 2k.

Nvidia Macrovision DVD-TV rules forced on consumers

michaeljbrooks

It appears that I will be using older nVidia Detonator drivers for my GeForce card until my next video card purchase of an ATI Radeon. As far as I know, ATI drivers do not force Macrovision on consumers or otherwise fail to work with Conextant bt878 encoders.

NIC - Onboard or Seperate?

jdulmage

Just a quick question. . . I am getting the A7N8X Deluxe board soon and I know it has Dual Lan. Is it better to use the onboard LAN or to buy a seperate card for it? I was just curious if that would increase the speed and flowthrough in any way? If so, what cards do you guys recommend? I was thinking 3Com Etherlink XL.
