AX4SG-N

Atreyu
Anybody here have the Aopen AX4SG-N? If you have it, is anybody running SilentTek? If so, does anybody hear beeping when SilentTek turns the CPU fan off? If so, does anybody know how to disable that beeping? If so, how? It's annoying, and basically defeats the purpose of SilentTek.

ES1869 Plug and Play AudioDrive

scchicago
I am pretty sure this laptop I have has an ES1869 Plug and Play AudioDrive, however I have been unable to find a driver for it under NT 4. Its an old Compaq Presario 1621. It works perfectly on NT4 except for the sound problem.

Quietest 128MB AGP card?

ofelas
Here is what I need - 1. 128MB (can't justify the 256MB cards right now). 2. AGP interface with DVI 3. QUIET. . . 4. <$125. 00 I've seen a few fanless cards with heatsinks, are they reasonably stable/cool running? I guess not having a fan would make them a lot quieter.

I downloaded the drivers from the download page to use my Canopus Pure3d card on Windows XP. I unzipped it and installed the file. It then asks me to restart my computer but when I do I have no idea if the drivers where installed since it gives me no indication as to what directory it puts them in.

I have a friend whos powersupply went in her system. We found her a new case with a P4 powersupply, and made the transition. After getting everything in the new case, we tried it out. As soon as we plugged in the powercord, a buzzing started.
