• I'd just try it again (maybe not seated correctly?)... I haven't heard of video cards being temperamental.

• 4.38's I found to be good on my older Via PIII board. Going to the new Hyperion's stuffed it up quite a bit so I don't bother stuffing around with the new drivers now that my setup is stable. The earlier revisions (pre 4.35's) were trouble too.

• In Austrailia, a hurricane is called a willy-willy. Errr... never heard that one :confused: Might be a northern states thing...

• Something that I liked about the site was the updates of news (including bios updates, drivers, general tidbits of tech info). I didn't mind the OT stuff but that wasn't what I specifically was looking for when I came to Icrontic.

• Yeah there are plenty of options. Some mobos come with 4 SATA connectors so you could hook up 4 HDD's to them (can only hook 1 device to each connector in SATA but as Trekky said, you'll also have the standard 2 IDE connectors as well for 4 more dev…

• If you ever have problems with the latest nVidia drivers, a lot of people like the 30.82's to fall back on. So far the only game I've had any problems with is NWN:SoU but it looks pretty likely that it is a glitch introduced by a patch.

  in Which Graphics Card? Comment by Shivian Aug 2003
• Nononono sorry I don't mean the core is 0.8V. Just the card is supplied 0.8V through the 8x AGP slot.

  in Tex!! Is this right? Comment by Shivian Aug 2003
• Yeap I'm sure. Someone asked a little while ago so I looked it up. 0.8V -> AGP 8x 1.5V -> AGP 4x Not sure about the rest but one of them is 3.3V... just can't remember how it goes. And with the transistor counts of vid cards nowadays I would …

• Yeah that would be great. Not sure who'd be good to grab for that though.

• Mobo faqs. Lots of them. It looks like Sudhian Media doesn't actively maintain Paul's old faqs all that much from when I last checked (just the odd bios mod update here or there), so I'd be keen on seeing something a little more active in that area.

• I ran a 3DMark2001 test run with the executive paging tweak and the scores/framerates etc were practically identical. Thinking about it, I wouldn't expect it to benefit 3DMark. I'll run some Sandra benchies later :)

• I run more hardware than that at and at peak it takes about 220-240W (via power consumption readings from my UPS). AMD recommends a min 300W PSU too. But I agree that the quality of the PSU is a big factor.

• LOL... damnit I had hope for a second there Tex!

  in Welfare Comment by Shivian Jul 2003
• 320W is plenty for his rig... unless the PSU is dodgy then it isn't the problem.

• Ahh ok thanks :) (wasn't sure how much of the install cd you needed)

• How do you install from HDD? Bootdisk and have the whole cd copied on HDD? (I've generally used a bootable CD)

  in Win 98 SE Comment by Shivian Jul 2003
• Your drive firmware may not support say 80min cds? When you say you've tried burning anything, have you tried burning say 10MB of stuff (to a RW just so you don't waste a cd)?
