Abit BH6 question

According to Abit, the BH6 v1.01 does not officially support the new coppermines. Having said that, I am running a Celeron2 (Coppermine128) 566@850 with no problems. I am running it at 1.7v which is very similar to PIII voltages, which means I am essentially running a PIII 850. Abit says there...

I need 3d glasses, help me find some?

The last Elsa revelator glasses I tried were running on a Diamond Viper V770. As far as i know they are designed to work well with Nvidia's drivers. They do not require proprietary Elsa drivers.

ARG! HELP! This problem wont go away...

In the past I have read a few articles regarding the "finicky" nature of the Athlon motherboards. PC Gamer tested quite a few different combinations. The most glaring conflicts were between Geforce cards and Athlons. They had a lot of trouble making that combo stable on various mobos...

Your veiws on Manual cars?

Ya gotta go manual! Assuming you don't drive in rush-hour traffic alot, manual is far superior. You will have more power, more reliability and more fun! If you drive it hard you might end up with a worn clutch in a few years, but it's cheaper than a new automatic tranny! Automatic is for whimps!

what will happen if i mix 2 different kinds of RAM?

It will work fine. PC133 designation just means that the memory is capable of running at 133mhz, it doesn't mean htat you have to! You would only have potential problems if you were trying to run the PC100 memory at 133mhz. (Although it is possible that it would work if its high quality ram)

Processor help for newbie

Well, what do you want to do with that system? are you a hardcore gamer, playing 3D shooters, or are you an internet/mp3 junkie? Unless you are running the latest 3D games, that system will do you just fine. Don't waste your money if you don't need to! If the motherboard is a 440BX based...

Give me your 2 cents worth

It's simple: the voltage switch determines input voltage. If you plug into 230v, switch to 230v. If you plug into 110v, switch to 110v. The power supply steps down and rectifies the power to the 12volts that your mobo needs. If you put 230v into the 110v tap you will put 24v into your...

Monitor problems

I have an Optiquest V95 monitor and a Viper V770 Ultra gfx card. I find that after the monitor has been on for a while, the very top of the screen appears lighter. It really shows when I have no wallpaper on the desktop. Most of the screen is black, but across the top it appears slightly grey. I...

Why cant we rent pc games in the USA? They do it in Canada

Yes, stores do rent out pc games in Canada, but legally they are very restricted. They cannot rent out games that can be fully installed on the hard drive, nor can they rent out games if the publisher does not consent. For example, legally they can't rent out Electronic Arts products at all...

Which monitor? Sony 17" FD-Trinitron E-200 or KDS 19" VS195-E

This might be a dumb question but...have you ever actually seen any of these monitors? If you find stores that have them, then you can see the visual difference. Choose the one that looks best to YOU and then worry about price! Personally I opted for a 19" panasonic tube over a 17&quot...
