Must be SLI, the cheaper the better.

So far I have my sights set on the Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLi 775 but its a little pricey, anybody got a better suggestion?

I have the Nforce sound drivers installed under Device manager, yes cannot start a song on Windows Media Player, or the Nforce application, error message sez sound device may be in use by other application. When run the Direct X diagnostics, sez no sound drivers installed. I tried cdplayer.exe in a dos window on an Audio CD, and it the player plays the song, but still no output through the speakers. Don't know where to turn at this point, and Microsoft no longer supports Win98SE.

I have 4 computers networked. 2 are custom, 2 are dells. The one dell 3000 has a celeron 2.4 with a 533 FSB. The manual states that the celeron using a default frequency of 266 (which would make sense 266x2=533). Dell recommends ddr400 or ddr333. If I am using a Celeron, does it matter if I use ddr266 -> seems like it is going to downclock it anyway. I think the ddr333 or ddr400 is really only necessary if it had a P4 533FSB or HT 800FSB.

The reason I ask is that I have a 1GB of PC3200 kit and a 1GB kit of pc2100 installed on a custom build AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (overclocked to 4300). I think I am better off swapping the slower memory out of one of my faster custom build PCs (AMD athlon 64 3700+) and installing the pc3200 on that.

The little dell does do well with it 512 MB now - has a Nvidia 5500 PCI 256 MB video card. I am just looking to tweak for some of the newer games like Civ 4 and BFME 2

I just bought a Dell Dimension E520. I would like to expand its cooling capability as much as possible? Any recommendations for aftermarket cooling on this pc without destroying the case? Also, what is a good CPU cooling system for the Core 2 Duo 6400? Thanks for the input

When I use a normal CD-RW or CD-R I can only get 17 or 18 songs on there but when I use a CD-RPW 700 MB I can get over 100 songs? Why is that?

For eg, the fastest Core 2 Duo is something like E6800 2.66 Ghz where as the fastest Pentium 4 processor is 3.8 Ghz. Is this speed disparity b'cos of the 2 cores doing their job. In any case there are hardly any commercial applications that actually use both cores simultaneously, i mean there are no multi-threaded applications anyway..so whats the whole point in buying a Core 2 Duo computer ??

Which one is actually better for gaming.....What I've read the GT has more speed, but less memory.....Which one is actually better? I always thought more memory is better, but I am being told speed is more important.

Just brought a recent AMD computer having AMD live I was wondering how can I use this technology without buying additional hardware to connect. What does this technology do for a normal consumer like myself.

I was trying to find literature on the web but the AMD site talks about all this fancy stuff where I would have to end up purching more hardware to connect with my tv or other things before I can avail the tech to any use.

Some ellaboration and simple tricks with this wuold help also sites having some useful setup information pertaning to media center and this technology will be helpful

thanks
