Hi Everyone,
I installed Win 7 64 bit back in February.
All of a sudden this weekend it decided to have a SMART Error which is related to a Boot/BCD issue. Nothing was changed or installed that would of affected the drive.

I have read many forms and they all say to boot from disk and run the ...

ive tried that but the the DVI connected are to big to fit side by side.

Hey all. I have been thinking about this for sometime now and Im going threw a bit of a dilemma.

Right now as it stands i have my PC hooked up to my 32inch LCDTV via an HDMI cable. I keep having to switch from my PC monitor to my TV when i want to watch downloaded content. I have been looking at a ...

hey all. i have a Dlink DGS-1008D and 2 PCS. when transfering files it takes an obsene about of time (i.e. a 300mb files takes over 2 hours). thats insane. ive contacted Dlink and they have mentioned something about Jumbo frames. i have taken alot at other treads and i get the idea about Jumbo ...

mvern2

yeah... thanks man...
now...just for one of those high paying jobs for those GTX's

mvern2

ok. i didnt see that. i guess i really dont need that whole cable management thing. I think I will go with the OCZ one. its more in my price range and i think it will last me a while! all i really wanna do is add a tv tunner card and maybe a sound card in the future. in a year or so then ill upgrade ...

mvern2

let me know if im wrong, but the 12v rails on the enermax liberty are rated at 22A and the OCZ 700w one that you booked marked is only 18A. so in this case wouldnt the Liberty be better?

mvern2

really. only 510. but it says 650w peak so that would be good. it lists it at $199. for that price i could pop for a 750w with cable management or 149 will get me that 610w.

mvern2

Hey all. ever since i SLI'd my PC my system has been hanging up/rebooting at times. Im sure its just a PSU issue since ive only got a 400w one. Im liking the Liberties cable management design so i would like to stick with that! Im just not sure what would a good PSU/Wattage to get. I want to get one ...

mvern2

hey all...its time for me to finally build the system of my dreams...i recently got a Mac and luv it but it doesnt cut it for a gaming platform...i miss my PC..

just a little reminder to keep your PC dust free (or as close to dust free as possible). I just cleaned my PC out (from months of neglect) and my idle temps dropped down from 50-52 degrees Celsius to 47-48 degrees.

i thought that i would share that with ya'll (cuz of the 4 degrre drop in temp JUST ...

mvern2

i just put the 512mb in DDR slot 1 and the 256mb in DDR slot 3 and it recognize the 768 mb RAM...so i guess that i fit into that 10% eh!....thanxs guys, none the less, for your help!

mvern2

i just got a stick of Hynix 512 mb DDR2100!
coupled with my stick of 256 crutial/micor should be giving me 768mb eh!

no...at first it was only registering 640 mb in the bios....then i switched the RAM in differnet slots....now its only registering the 512 mb in the bios

what could be the prob?

mvern2

How would the proper and safe way to clean a keyboard (completely)!?

mvern2

well right now with FS2002 it tends to get choppy with my curretn system (see below)...but in a few weeks i'm gonna upgrade my harddrive to a WD 120 GB 8mb cache drive and from 256mb of RAM to 512 or 768mb of RAM...so hopefullythat will improve things alot!

Oh and my 1.2 t-bird is running at 1 ...

mvern2

hey guys...how do u like FS2004? I've still got FS2002 and wanna get FS2004 but i got no $ and wont for a while since uni starts in a few weeks!

mvern2

all the world (atleast western society) is all a bunch of scandles and trechery and backstabbing!

mvern2

It was mentioned here before (because this news is nothing really "new" anymore been reported about 2-3 wks ago) that most, if not all, vid card makers have travelled down the same road at one point and time. And yes, sadly even ATi has been convicted in the past, sorry....

atleast ATI isn't ...

mvern2

By Nvidia trying to pull this stunt off they must think that we are stupid or something and that they can con us into purchasing and Nvidia card over the ATI or another company thinking that if we go with them we will have the better/faster card. Which i think in most cases is not true since review ...

They barely outperform mp's for the price.

in time my dear shaggy...in due time!

mvern2

lets not forget that this is the first generation of AMD's new design. So i wouldn't be making any judgements just yet. Give it till the second generation or even third and AMD gould make the Opterton (and eventually Athlon 64) a lot better and faster!

mvern2

A very interesting article that a lot of you might be interested in!!!

mvern2

You'll notice a big difference with both more RAM and a faster hard drive.

yeah...a new HD and RAM are all that i can afford right now....down the road i wanna upgrade from my GeForce 2 GTS 64mb to a Radeon 9500 or 9600...down the road!

mvern2

Thanks for everyones replys:

i think that i'm gonna give the Western Digital Special Edition 120GB 7200RPM 8MB ATA100 HDD a go! i've heard a lot of good things about them (mainly in speed which is primarily what i'm looking for since i want to maximaize my current pc's potential)...plus 120 Gb will ...

mvern2

SATA is more flexible for future iterations

mvern2

for Serial ATA i would wait for the next generation (rate at 300 mb/sec) for it to be worthwhile and the price comes down a bit (not that its too much of difference between IDE and SATA drives)!

mvern2

Hey Brent

I was just wondering why you chose the Maxtor 120GB Diamond Max Plus9 7200RPM 8MB ATA133 HDD over the Western Digital Special Edition 120GB 7200RPM 8MB ATA100 HDD ?

mvern2

I've finally saved up enough to upgrade my rig a bit!

One question i've got! Should i go for:

Western Digital Special Edition 120GB 7200RPM 8MB ATA100 HDD

or

Maxtor 120GB DMax Plus9 7200RPM 8MB ATA133 HDD

They are both $165 at http://www.shoprbc.com (thats Canadian funds). Any bad and/or good ...

Motorola used to make the proccesors for Apple..not sure if they still do!

This is just a personal opinion: i've got nothing against Mac's but i think they r way overrated just like Intel is!

I do admit that there a few things from the Mac that i would like to see on the PC (but that will probably ...

ASUS A7V266

i know its pretty old (but its doing hwat i need it to do for now)

i'm probably gonna wait to see what happens with the Hammer's and even then i'll probably wait till the second generation (90nm) comes out and the nForce 3 (or what Via may be cocking up!)

mvern2

pertaining to the RAM....my mobo' manual (ASUS A7V 266) said that it supporst 2.5 Volt unbuffered/registered DDR SDRAM and that they support non-ECC memory

i'm just curious what the difference is between unbuffered/registered non-ECC memory and buffered/non-registered ECC memory (PC2100)

mvern2

Personally I am not a big fan of the "all in ones". The reason is that is something goes wrong with it ... you may end up having to scrap it due to the cost of repairing it. If you had 3 separate items ... it would be easier to replace one piece.

Thats why i was thinking of getting the Dell one ...
