I checked the user-manual but there is no jumper or any thing so it should work directly. Try to clean the BIOS I would say...

A nVidia FX5500 should work on a P5PE-VM. No beeps or any thing?

Only in Holland, ATN-networks has good services...

The linked PSU has 2 12v lines too; I think you overlooked that . m16si, I don’t know the brand so I can’t say any thing about it. Just to be safe I would go for the Chieftec 400W: +5V -> 26A +3,3V -> 28A +12V1 -> 14A +12V2 -> 15A -12V -> 0.5A +5VSB -> 2.5A Combined 380W, so you can use one 12V line for the x1950pro your VGA card and the other one for the CPU, mobo and drives.

Ow God... a Vista machine... Let´s do this step by step. First start to download these AMD drivers. I know it´s not your mobo but those drivers should be a start . Moving this topic to XP forum part...

Looks more like a defective screen, can you make a picture of it?

Hold on there! The 8800GT is out now, that would be a better deal. Next month there will be a new GTS version also, knocking the socks of the "older" 8800GTS. Torque is used to accelerate dude . EDIT: Check out this link.

Gues what, it´s a single core CPU and it´s not a Windsor... ripken204, update your posts please!

Tjeeeez! Those NeoWIN numbers, now I know why MSFN.org is getting bigger and bigger by the day!

It seems ripken204 is going to rent a server so they gave him some options. If we compare both CPUs, then the AMD will win. Remember that at stock speeds AMD still is the best solution for its price when you don’t look at power usage.

First let it dry, and then tell us what it’s doing...

Yes you can...

The website of the maker of that laptop should have the software add-ons that you need. I would try that out first. This would fit better in the XP forum part, moving it there . EDIT: Moved it back to the software forum...

Don’t scare him! abdurrahman, any new CPU will have 64bit instruction sets and registers so don’t you worry about that. It’s not the motherboard that needs to be compatible, only the CPU needs to be compatible with 64bit. I’m sure that any thing you find now in the shops will support 64bit...

http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=GTA-TV203 AverMedia has cheap ones too, and there isn’t really that much difference between those brands. ATi has new HD cards out but they are way more expensive. Hauppauge and Pinnacle are big players too! eBay could have good prices, check them out .

I just posted something in your other topic Panarchy, please don’t make a topic after topic asking what part would be the best (I know others did this and it looked kinda... well... ripken204 knows )

What the... I only have one case fan in my systems. If I connect 2 it doesn’t lower temperatures that much, just 2oC on the HDD . Any way, we are dealing here with a high budged . Panarchy, any idea where to buy your stuff? Any computer shop close to you that has a webpage? Basically, you need: - CPU; Quad cored CPU are cheap theses days so a Q6600 from iNTEL would be a good choice. - Motherboard; this depends mostly on how far you want to Overclock your system so first we need to find out if you want to OC or not. Besides that you could need eSATA, a few PCI-E 1/4x sloths, EEE1394 (firewire400) and some more features. So, let’s go for a better motherboard from ASUS or Gigabyte, P35 chipset would do fine, or if you want the latest you can take a look at the X38 chipset. - RAM; Just plan and simple DDR2 on 800MHz, 2GB would be good to start with r if you like you can drop in directly 4 sticks of 1GB, a total of 4GB. Personaly I don’t like the overdone, overvolted DDR2 sticks; A 1.8volt stick would do fine from any known “brand”. - Harddisks; All depends on how much speed you need. To be secure about the data you have you could directly go RAID. At this moment the Seagate 7200.11 is king in the 7200rpm hard disk world, but WesternDigital comes close to that. 500GB drives are no exception these days by the way . - Optical drive; DVD-RW, any will do fine. Try to get a SATA model so your case will look cleaner inside. Brands Like Pioneer and LiteON are favourites among us (the Geeks ). - Readers; if you still use floppy or you have memory cards laying around, then buy one of these. - PSU (Power Supply Unit); this totally depends on how much drives and how hungry your VGA card will be, but think about a PSU of 430 real Watts and up. Popular picks are Corsair HX520 and 620. - Input devices; It’s hard to say what you “like”. Best way would be to go to the sop and hold the mouse in your hands and slam on some buttons of a keyboard. Popular picks are brands like Logitech and Microsoft. - Monitor: much has changed in 6 years. 19” up to 24” screens are popular these days and cost way les then the 27” or higher models. It’s hard for me to guess what you “need”. 19” would give you 1440*900pix, 20” 1680*1050, 24” 1920*1200. Personally I would go with BenQ, Acer or Samsung… - Housing: Any case from Antec or Coolermaster would do fine. There are other good brands too but most of the time more expensive. Just get one that uses 12cm fans so you will have a good airflow with less noise. Did I forget something?

Zero fill would be better, after a format there will be still the complete info on it, except the first part of the drive .

The lousy performance was solved with SP1 of XP .

So, I was wondering how it’s possible that Windows 98 now is a "complete 32bit OS? Even 2000 has 16bit parts but the kernel is 32bits... This is why I say Windows 98 has a partly 16 and 32bit core but Windows 2000 32bit... This is why drivers don’t work on 98 and do work on NT/2000 (a part of it, and the OS layers).

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=77344 7.0.8, But there are newer versions like 8.1.1... http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST...=80&t=88167

I just gave you the link! http://www.kworld.com.tw/wheretobuy.aspx#y5 There, check that out... I also think I posted to fast, I see you want video input also to your PC, that would require another device. Forget PCI-E when you look at max 60US$, you will find nothing worth above a PCI card in that price range. The box I linked has no USB but kWorld has versions that have USB. Let me check it out and post it in a few minutes . By the way, the brand is okay, I sell it and people are happy with it. Most buy the external box so they don’t need the computer tuned on when they watch TV or play a game on an xBox for example. --- EDIT --- Links: http://www.ebuyer.com/search/?qfind=kworld&x=0&y=0 http://www.scan.co.uk/search/search.asp?cr...d&Submit=Go

The KWorld TVBox 1680ex is a cheap and pretty good solution for you. Here you can see some pics .
