Try install a non modified version of windows and see if that work... if so.. then something in the 'RyanVM and Bashrat packs' is chainging some thing in the OS which in turns disables the 'Stand-by' feature....

a'ight... thanks rip B)

I was just tryin' to get another video card since im still in the age of the PCI cards...lol

What I was wondering, u know how the ATI All-in-Wonders are AGP and they are Graphic/TV Tuners... will they move that line to a PCI-e or keep it on a AGP for now?

Ripken: is their a card out their that is a PCI-e and is a TV Tuner? or has the computer industry haven't made the nerve to make on yet?

@el_rob3: http://www.simulationexams.com/comptia.htm There is some more.... if u need more holla at me in a PM i'll i got a list around here somewhere... lol

Here ya are... http://www.comptia.org/certification/a/prepare.aspx Comptia is the company that u have to take the test through.. but after you take the A+ i would strongly recommend the Network+....

I have a ATI TV Wonder Pro... and i connect the RCA cables to the input of the capture card and use the software they give me and I tell it to pick the signal from the RCA(input) cables....

Has anyone tried that yet? If not, i'll give it a try later on today...

NP... it works for me... just outta curiosty what are ya'll googling?

No... Make sure u have extracted/downloaded the bootsector that you will need to make the CD bootable, I use to have a bootextractor but i forgot the name of it... They both can but i can't be specific with Nero, because i don't know it in and out but to make one in Nero I) Nero: 1. Open Nero Burning Rom 2. Under the burn complation wizard scroll down until u see CD-ROM Boot 3. and u have to mess around with the options in there because the HEX values in there are very pickey, I used to know that they were and i forgot them now... II) Ultra ISO: 1. Open Ultra ISO 2. Click Bootable, then Load Boot File 3. Select the file that has the bootup file 4. Done

Intel chips are more for workstations and the AMD chips are more widely used for gaming... here are some useful links... Intel Pentium 4 Information AMD Athlon 64 Information

Ripken, on the server can I use my MSI K8N Neo4 Plat. and buy the DFI or buy an 'actual' server board? <Remember what processor i'm putting in there along with the RAM>

That was all i had and now i regret it... I bow to the mercy of Ripken... eh?

I would do as what Ripken says... I screwed up and bought the cool MSI board the can't do anything but 2.85v on the RAM slots and my ram has been tested for and upto 4v... I would deffinalty go with the DFI motherboard...

Im gonna tell you how to do it through several different programs... I) Nero 1. Start Nero Burining Rom (NOT Nero Express) 2. Click on DVD/CD-ROM ISO 3. Click on New 4. You should see a drop-down box that has devices that can burn CDs/DVDs... In my case I have: MSI CD-RW MS-83405 BENQ DVD DD DW1620 Image Recorder Change the default setting to Image Recorder. 5. Drag and drop the files from the Right pane to the left pane in Nero of what you need to burn... 6. Press Ctrl+B and it will bring up: Burn Compliation 7. Then Click Burn 8. Then it will ask you where to save the *.nrg/*.iso (to change between the two, there is a drop-down box at the bottum of the 'Saving Image File' (the drop-down box is named." Save as type:") Give it a name 9. Then your done II) Ultra ISO: 1. Open Ultra ISO 2. Drag and drop the files you need to put in an ISO 3. Then click File > Save as 4. Type the name you want to give it since it will automatically save it as an ISO 5. Wait and your done Hope that helps you and if i find anything else i will edit the post and put it in there for ya...

If you can get the Task Manager to go up, look and see if you can find explorer.exe if not then File > New Task (New...) > type Explorer.exe... If that works then look at the event viewer mentioned by I Broke My MHZ

Probably a bad case of chip creep... It happens when the case get cold and hot (contractions and expansions) will make the PCI, RAM, AGP, and evan the CPU come in and out of the slots/sockets... I usally try to check my cards aleast 6 times a year since i live in a very hot/humid climate in the summer and a cold/dry winters....

How often does the patches come out? When does the new Nlite come out or can that not be released at this time... I just built a new 64 machine....

My Athlon 64 did, and it is pimpin' on case right now... lol....

When you do start to overclock make sure u upgrade the Heatsink...

I have personally used a SATA II drive and yes you do see a performance boost... I installed Windows XP SP2 in 10 minutes (it was not nlited)... so in my opionion it is worth it

Parition Magic does a great job of hiding the paritions for you...

The AMDs will come with a Heatsink/Fan... and the instructions, if you buy the Retail box instead of OEM... The heatsink is made out of Aluminum.. If you plan to overclock then I would recommend a better heat/fan...

SCSI right now is still the fastest around due to the RPMs of 15,000... But if u have a deep pocket to buy one (they retail for a 36.7gb for about $250 for a good model)... Here is a Link for the hard drives from Newegg.... as for personal use i would use the Sata II...
