Anyone have any links where I can benchmark my connection speed.

I would use Road Runners but it seems a bit biased.

I subscribe to Kansas City Time Warner cable service wich also includes Road Runner Internet. My main problem is that my 3com modem sucks. I know people with Toshibas that just fly past me in DL and upload speeds.

I also work at Best Buy, who as of about a week ago now sells cable modems. The two ...

My Via Hardware Monitor only says that I have 4.5 volts on my 5 volt reading. I'm thinking that this is what is hindering me from having a sucessful cold boot with a agp vid card found.

Please post or email me if you have any sugestions or if you are having this problem.

I recently noticed while at work, that the TDK 24x10x40 has only a 2mb buffer. Since writing at 24x is faster than 2mb a second, acutally much faster, why in the world would you only have a less-than-one-second buffer.

To me this doesn't make sense, the Yamaha 20x10x40 uses an 8mb buffer which I ...

I have my router set up so that one of my computers is using DMZ (the server) and the other using DHCP.

When I make a hl server and people join, it just starts kicking them like mad.

I have tried to use my server directly hooked up to the cable modem and it works fine.

Please tell me how to fix ...

I just flashed my bios today on my Iwill KK266-R. To my surprise there were many new memory tweaks, and fixes for the SBlive bug. But one major thing caught my attention quickly, now I have options for a multiplyer up to 14.

Yep 14. I am wondering if this is for the new 1.4 Tbird or is it for the ...

Rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub. Yea God.

My post was for humor, don't go home and do it.

What you need to do is demagnetize your hard drive. To do this take a large magnet and rub it in a counterclockwise circle around the back of the hard drive. Once this is done, turn the computer back on and you should be ready to go.

Someone just email me the newest version of Via Hardware Monitor. Mine is out of date and very buggy.

I'll send you a picture of my case when it gets out of the shop. It's being custom painted at a hotrod shop.

All that is left is for me to pick out the flame pattern.

I, and a close friend, both have a KK266-r. We each now have gone through 2 power supplies a peice. Both of his were generic but both of mine were Enermax 431w power supplies. I know that 431w is plenty for the board and components but I was wondering if any of you readers have had any problems like ...

] A very heart wrenching story, <insert sarcasm> one that surely saddens many in the computer industry. . . . Rambus found guilty of Fraud today. It's a sad, sad day when such a gracious charitable company takes one on the chin like this. All I can say to this latest story, in a string of recent bad ...

Yes, I have actually and both of my geforce cards work in both of my old computers.

This is really getting anoying, I'll probably end up with another board from a different brand. Abit has lost a customer on this one, it's too much hassle to play a guessing game with a motherboard, they don't grow ...

My f***ing KT7A-R doesn't like my Leadtek Geforce 2 Pro.

It won't boot, nor post for that matter.

My ASUS v7700 works in it, but has instability problems.

Have any of you had problems with the voltage on this board?

My last reply was cut off.

I meant to say that if the 1.7 ghz P4 can't even stack up to a 1.33 GHZ Tbird, then why bother with the extra money.

Ok first off I think you are still confused, the VIA PRO266 is for PIII's, the VIA KT266 is for AMD.

Tests have shown that the VIA PRO266 has almost no advantage over regular SDRAM.

My days of Intel loving are over, if yo

Personally though I WANT a PURE DDR board, I'm waiting for Abit to make one with pure DDR and 266bus and their on board high point 370 RAID 100 controller....

Hmmm, you make a good point. Abit is my choice for mobos so here is some juice on that.

First off let me say that I was just about to purchase a ABIT KT7a-R (litteraly a click away) when I said to myself, "I wonder when that VIA DDR chipset is comming out."

So doing the logical thing I went to www.viahardware.com where to my supprise I stared strait at that beautiful golden chip ...

Ok I tried it on a different monitor, still doesn't work. Also now the TV out feature is gone.

I am also getting the message that my video card does not have a tv decoder, which is bs because im looking at it as I type.

Any thoughts/comments please let me know.

I have a retail V7700 Deluxe with fully updated Asus drivers, the updated software for vid-in. The video out works fine.

Ok now for the real problem. Here are the symptoms.

-When I start with everything hooked up (tv, or ps2 as imput) and start the program it gives me the error "Your monitor or ...

First off, Mac announced their release first. Second, both Mac and PC versions will be released to the public (to buy) at the same time. I wonder what people with Macs will use it for?
Auto-CAD?
Adobe?
Movies?
Games? (not)

I was thinking about creating a solid silver heat sink (yes I said solid). I would be using old sterling silver spoons and forks, as well as some other silver that I can find at pawn shops and antique stores. I will be using a mold made directly from a Alpha cooler.

I would appreciate any feedback ...

Dude Bastille and I need to know because we are going to take a road-trip to eat there, while only eating at wendy's on the way.

If we cant find it then we can't go. Please help us find it. This is essential to the future of the human race.

If Microsoft was smart, which they aren't, they would make a OS with no frills, and built just for gaming and internet stuff.

I don't want any help, wizards, built in games, and any other crap that gets in my way.

Have it built off of a D3D based kernel with optimizations for OGL.

What do you ...

First I would like to point out that this is one of the worst times to buy a new system. It's right at the end of a generation peak and the new hardware is just beggin for a price cut (ie. P4 this week). AMD will release a new core (Palimino), Intel has a new PIII commin out, not to mention a DDR ...
