alright man, ill give it a try, thanks a lot

and if it doesn't work, i guess ill crank out the ol' windows disc...and i wanted to get some sleep tonight!

i have a canon CD-300 (parallel port) and an Epson stylus Photo 870 (usb) plugged into my laptop, running win98se. Whenever i go to word and try to print something, or any program, Spool32.exe preforms an illegal operation. something about stack faults. well i cant print anything and the microsoft ...

wtf evil brembo?! they make those damn computer cabinent things for dumb people who don't know jack about computers! the cooling is just atrocious when the computer is locked up like that.

if you think thats ****y, you shouldn't be here. it is the destiny of all serious computers to have the fastest possible. thats why we tweak and mod everthing until it doesn't run anymore. in fact, i belive that is the basis of overclocking!

lol puffin the magic dragon, eh?

im not really into the economy stuff....all i can reccomend is asus, don't know if they have a cheap slot a version of the a7v.

all this talk of 10+ FPS is making me want my new computer so bad....my friggin laptop can hardly push 7fps in counterstrike...save me!

well get some more case fans, the more the merrier. it might help, put a couple facing the vid card.

umm search for carrots on google or something cus thats a wierd thing to ask...while you're there, search for horses

ewwww slot 1....BURN!

well if its just for mild use and its not real hardcore gaming, go with a duron. something like 600-800mhz. Go ahead and get an NIC for the future cable, they only cost about 20 bucks. Sound, the sound blaster live! value is your best bet. and for right now, i guess you would need a 56k modem.

well you could probobly get a 1.2ghz up to about 1.5 or 1.6, if its an AXIA chip. just so your system lasts longer, i would go with the 1.2ghz. make sure you get crucial or mushkin memory, don't go with generic stuff becuase you will not like it :mad: What kind of stuff do you plan to be doing? that ...

you are wrong, the a7m266 does NOT support both sdram and ddr, just ddr. the a7a266 does both, but its on that crappy ali chipset. why would you want to have both types of memory in anways? they are just about the same price and the you cant run them both at the same time. GET THE A7M.

yeah dont touch the hyundi stuff.....dell puts it in their computers, including mine and it failed after about 8 months. really high quality.......

or you could just tell him.......

In very very general terms, cas is the speed of your ram. cas 2 ram is faster than cas 3 ram. get cas 2. you can somethimes overclock your memory to cas 2, but in your case, i guess its not working.

thats just what i wanted to hear...always staying at the top. thanks!

What is the difference between my A7M266 mobo and the newer A7A266? I know the A7A can take both SDRAM and DDR, but is that all good? The A7A seems to actually be a little cheaper than the A7M, so I don't know if it is really any better. Whats up?

I just was reading some news posts and I saw that there is a certain batch of thunderbirds (batch AXIA) that has 1.5GHz technology. They are being sold under 1.0 and 1.33GHz names, and I think you can get them to 1.5 with standard cooling. Is it true? where can I find one of these AXIA chips?

try the ATI all in wonder radeon. its a great analog capture card as well as tv card, dvd decoder and a nice 3d video card. you can get one for around 230 bucks.

I know that the Linksys 4 port broadband router has a sort of firewall built into it, but I don't know if that really matters for some of the stuff I wanna do. Has anyone been able to get Napster to work with it? In the review here, nobody could. And if im running a shoutcast station, will people ...

whoa syncmaster....a little touchy? didn't mean for you to stop, thought u had already won....and I honestly was worried the 300w wouldn't be enough. dont scare people away from these forums....

lol the fan battle is over! thanks guys, ill let you know when i get everything together if it bursts into flames or what.

take a look at the system described below. tell me if you think a 300w power supply is enough and 2 fans, one in front and one in rear is enough for cooling.

When I boot up, it goes to the blue screen of death and it says "memory partiy error. system halted" i have to turn it off, and then it flashes really fast something like "PCI parity error in something something something" It goes away to fast, I cant get the rest. it does this every couple of times ...

you crazy guys...ever used a boomslang mouse from razor? ohh so sweet. I tried an optical, but it was so wild, it wouldnt track well for sniping or anything (and it was that microsoft one you all are praising). I got my boomslang, jack up the sensitivity, and its smooth as a babys butt. check it out ...

reputable stores aren't always listed first at pricewatch....im in need of guarenteed quality RAM

one more question: at crucial.com, they only list PC1600 memory for the new Asus A7M266, and I was wondering where is the best place I can get PC2100.

alright, thanks, ill mess around with it

Alright I was reading the how to build a PC guide over at sharky extreme and they said something about spacing out the PCI cards for better cooling. Does having the cards spaced out (slot-wise) do anything to the hardware,or screw it up in windows? I would love better cooling in my box, but I don't ...
