24 Bit Color and Video Cards

Shi-Ryo

I'm in the process of building a new system and have a question for all you videocard experts out there. I remeber a few months back, a big deal was made over nVidia hardware being unable to render in 24 bit color mode.

Chaintech MPM800 Issues

jmmijo

Ok, has anybody used this board before, I've tried two different motherboards and both have issues with both Radeon and nVidia GPU cards. The most compatible seems to be the Radeon 7000 card. Basically the machine will BSOD after the initial reboot of the Catalyst drivers, both v4.

Radeom 9800 Pro won't play Call of Duty?!

DTW

Hi guys, I have a Radeon 9800 All In Wonder. I installed games like Call of Duty and Doom 3 on to my computer. When I start the game, it lets me into it, but when I select Start New Game, a separate window would come up asking what level of difficulty I want the game to be.

ASUS motherboard with PCI modem card

bvkiran

I am running XP and it does not detect my modem(however detects the network card). How can I find out if my modem hardware is bad and I need to replace it. Or this is software config problem. Can the BIOS detect that this card is working.

jmmijo

I'm not sure where this paragraph came from myself Both qualities are important for lubricant design. A computer's hard drive is polished to a mirror finish to create as perfect a surface as possible on which to record, retrieve and erase thousands of hours' worth of data over its lifetime.

I'm considering upgrading the video card in my system to one of the GeForce 4 (probably the 4200) cards. Are there any driver related issues with WinXP (or other off the shelf applic's) and Nvidia?.

Hullo! I've had some problems with my acer laptop for some time now. I suspect the fan for the cpu is broken or at least not fully functional. The machine simply shuts off at will at random intervals.
