weymont
I'm desperatly looking to get a better resolution (VGA driver=800x600). I got an Nvidia Geforce4 Go 4200 64Mb with an 8500 Inspiron. I now have to use Windows NT 4. . . I tried few drivers from here and there, but all gave me the blue screen.

Athlon 64

ViolentGreen
I pulled this article off of the nforcershq forum. I have to say that it looks pretty good but not as good as I expected. The 1MB L2 cache blew me away but it starts at only 1. 6Ghz. The only areas that it excelled over canterwood was in compression and gaming.

jwl812
I am helping a friend install a new ATI Radeon 9500 Pro into his rather older PC - a 750mhz AMD Athlon. This PC has an MSI K7 Pro Motherboard and 512mb ram and a 2x AGP slot and a 300watt power supply.

160GB hard drive format prob. in 2k

Ranulf
Recently picked up a Maxtor 160GB drive but 2k only sees 131GB on install since Im using a service pack 2 disk. I've upgraded to SP3 now so is there a way I can get my lost 30gb or so recognized? Or am I going to have to figure out how to burn a new 2k install disc with sp3 streamlined in? TIA.

CPU Temp.

Arthro Enas
This might be a stupid question to a lot of people I don't OC my system and I am sick of noise so I disable all the case fans, the fans that are running are the CPU fan, the 2 fans on the PSU. That's all.

Logitech Cordless Elite

ViolentGreen
I heard a lot of good things about this wireless keyboard/mouse set so when CompUSA had it on sale for $50 I went for it. Maybe its just me or the fact that i havn't downloaded the latest drivers but it seems like crap.

Cue
Hi all, I've set up the mobo so as to support 4 speakers through Soundman (the software program that comes with the drivers) but still when I use winamp to listen to a mp3, there is only output from the 2 front ones.

The moment - ATI or Nvidia?

jdulmage
I've been researching this for a while now, so I don't really need any technical information on this, just some thoughts from various mature, professional tech users. I'm used to the ati sucks and nvidia sucks and I just can't stand it and need a real response on this from users with the experience.
