    Not recognizing memory

    By identical do you mean the rated speed or the actual brand ? Because like B said, if both sticks work fine in that mobo by themselves, but not together, they're simply incompatible.

    X800GTO $70 after rebate...

    I understand you could oc it, but I believe this card has 2.5ns memory, which equals to 400 mhz, so it's already at its maximum capacity. My gto has 2ns memory = 500 mhz. Also having the extra molex connector on the card helps in ocing. GTOs can oc quite a lot but mine doesn't have the...

    I think it's a mistake to want to sell your computer based on driver problems.

    Questions

    Nvidia the best graphic card out there ? Hardly true. Once they reconsider their pathetic IQ, I might reconsider buying one. Ask X1K users how they like being able to use HDR+AA in games, whereas it is strictly impossible for any nvidia card to do right now.

    X800GTO $70 after rebate...

    Here's the catch. The memory's clocked @ 400mhz instead of 490mhz, that's the difference between DDR2 and DDR3 models. I'd stay clear of this one. One thing though, the sticker that says GTO2 at the bottom. I wonder where that's coming from because Gecube doesn't make GTO2 cards, in fact I...

    You've got to be joking.....

    I'd rather use a Christian Windows. If Jesus can't stop spyware, who can ?

    difference between oem and retail

    just a quick one OEM = No heatsink/fan and supplier warranty (relatively short) Retail = stock heatsink/fan + 3 year warranty from AMD Get the retail, even if you're not going to use the stock hsf.

    Is Dual core 1.8GHz = 3.6GHz

    Actually the answer's no. Here's the thing. The problem isn't in processing power. The fact of the matter is that a single core cpu cannot do two things at once. It has to do a bit of one, stop, start the other and so forth, whereas a dual core cpu can continuously work on two things at the...

    DDR and DDR2 compatibility

    Have you tried your memory ? Because to know the BIOS version you need to have had the computer on so what I'd do is try it anyway and see what it does. If it doesn't work, you'll need compatible sticks, there's just no way around it. I'd be surprised if it doesn't though. Looking at the list...

    Time to reach for the hammer

    Are you sure it's only the monitor that stops working ? Because from what you say, maybe you got a heat issue, and that the monitor shutting off is just a symptom, not the actual problem. You're mentioning online games and crowded situations, both of which stress the card much more than sp...

    What Speaker Config/ All in one or Seperates?

    PC Audigy2 ZS Logitech Z-560 (4.1) Great for games, ok for movies, crap for music. Living room (5.1) AVR-3805 Receiver Canton Speakers: LE 109 (front) LE 205 CM (center) LE 101 (surrond) AS 50 SC (Sub) This system is simply amazing. The sound is so pure I cannot...

    Recommended Quality Graphics Card for Workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe)

    Well Catalyst drivers aren't rubbish. In fact, they're the same omega and DNA use. They just tweak them a bit to give them a certain direction (performance vs. quality and also compatibility). Anyway, like I said, nvidia also makes good cards, and they also have driver issues, so in the end...

    dead motherboard?

    Do you hear any kind of beeps when powering the mobo with absolutely nothing but the cpu on it ? If not, then it's probably the mobo, unless it's your psu again which is unlikely. Any Socket 478 motherboard should do, provided a) your case is big enough (if not you need a micro Atx mobo), b)...

    driver instalation please help

    Well the drivers that come on a mobo cd are supposed to work with it, although they're almost always out of date. Just to make sure you got the right ones, go on NVIDIA Home and download the "platform drivers" under the "nforce 430/410" category. Extract them to a folder by executing the file...

    Firefox VS IE: "Weeeeeeeeeeee!"

    Having programmed a bit, I can honestly say IE is disgusting as far as standards go. Programs which follow standards tightly might not work at all in IE, and Microsoft works very hard to keep it that way. Standards are in place to help programmers maintain/improve programs much more efficiently...

    DVD Format

    I believe what you would need from Nero is NeroVision Express, which does exactly that. It takes a video file and converts/burns it on a DVD. However, my experience hasn't been so great with it, so if your files are fairly smalls, you can do VCDs instead, which work great and which can be done...
