Owners of Biostar T-Force boards...

Anyone know if there is an option in BIOS (or elsewhere) to get rid of the T-Force splash screen and 'F1 to continue' question on the following boot screen? Having to press two buttons every time is a little much.

Chaintech VNF4-Ultra, Dual Core, World of Warcraft, crashes...

If the driver is simply the one from AMD's website, yeah. And yes on the XP Pro.

PS - It goes without saying that everything worked fine *before* the dual-core upgrade.

Chaintech VNF4-Ultra, Dual Core, World of Warcraft, crashes...

Ok... well I built a computer for my brother a couple of months ago, and for Christmas got him a dual core 3800+. Stock, overclocked, it doesn't matter - for some reason WoW keeps crashing on him. Same with CounterStrike sometimes. Any guesses as to what's up? MemTest and SuperPi both run...

Chaintech VNF4 Ultra - what's going on here?

Ok cutting to the chase, Chaintech VNF4 Ultra in my brothers computer, X2 3800, FSB shifted to 240 at stock, CPU runs great, but the memory seems unstable. So, try changing the memory divider, upping the memory voltage, etc... but system won't boot. What's the deal here? One would assume...

Azalia vs AC '97

Well I just purchased one actually (as indicated in my first post), but I was just kind of wondering if I focused too much on the sound and not enough on other features - basically *more* overclocking. But if it turns out to make a very noticeable difference, I'll be happy with the decision. I...

Azalia vs AC '97

Thanks for the information, but that stuff I already knew. What I'm asking is how does it sound in the real world - not whether it's classed HD or not. ;)

Azalia vs AC '97

For those who've owned boards with both, is the difference noticeable, or is it more psychological? Sound for me is very important, but at the same time I want to know what the 'real-world' expectations of a move to Azalia should be. I just made a motherboard purchase based partly on it's...

Windows Media Center Questions

Thinking about making an HTPC and weighing Media Center vs XP+BeyondTV. Two questions I have concerning Media Center and it's recording abilities are... 1) Are you able to record from an analog source such as a VCR? and 2) Are shows encoded in MPEG2; are they able to be burned to...

Arctic Silver and GPUs

Well, I have a Leadtek/Winfast 6800LE with a large copper cooler on it, inside an Antec Aria case. I actually run the card without it's fan and use an adjacent slot cooler to reduce noise significantly, but thus the GPU runs hot (idles 59C - burn as high as 90c as per RivaTuner). Now, I...

Intel server strategy in shambles?

I was going to post on this, but hey here's a topic already! It's not just the Xeon line that's getting hamstrung though - Itanium as well, and XBitlabs goes deeper into that aspect of the server disaster: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20051024193043.html
