have you installed the chipset drivers? installing the chipset drivers (if not installed) will enable the graphics card to work in AGP mode, instead of the PCI mode they default to... just a thought.

That's kind of weird.. because on my laptop, it only uses about 18Mbyte -> 20Mbyte... :( I guess I have to live with it? Does anyone know how to use the sfc command??

hey, when I used the sfc /scannow command, I was prompted for the windows xp cd. so I put in my xp pro sp2 slipstreamed cd, but it says that I put in an incorrect version of the cd? do I have to put in all the hotfixes too? :(

oh sorry, I meant like 18k Kbyte, lol... yeah that would be like 18Mbyte, huh. Lol.. Im using windows xp pro right now... and the virus def. are updated at least twice a week, and same goes for the adware scans... what's a VM? virtual machine? Oh yeah, and Im also using the microsoft...

This only happens if I leave the computer on for a while... so Explorer.exe starts off using about 18Kbyte of memory (~15Kbyte of virtual memory) then it shoots all the way up to about 55Kbyte of memory, while using about 70-80Kbyte of virtual memory. I've scanned the computer for virus (I'm...

an ati x850xl might do... i believe it's 300 bucks and has 16 pipes

pci-e is backwards compatible, so yes. 16x on 1x works (although not all pins are connected) 1x on 16x probably works too.

did you install the ati graphics drivers? (catalyst...) if you're running off of the default windowsxp drivers, you might get that

I think 5950 is a much better card than the 5800 for a few reasons... first and most importantly, it has a 256-bit memory interface, so given same memory frequencies, 5950 will have double the bandwidth to work with. (Whether it be AA / AF / high res) secondly, 5950 will generally create less...

yeah. seriously. I think using getright with mirrors would be the fastest though... I think you can do like a 20 part thing, and use 20 mirrors... :yowch:

So, I've had a windows network of 2 computers at home for a while, that I could access via view workgroup, etc method. But after installing symante client security 2.0, I'm not able to do that anymore. Even the access by IP would not work. However, when I disable the symantec firewall, I can...

does anyone know how to do this? I'm using gaim, and control + tab key is used by the virtual desktop, which I do not intend to use... if anyone knows how to disable / get rid of this, please tell me :) On another note, I was wondering why running gaim & in the prompt will not run gaim, even...

thanks for the input. But I've already tried defragging (windows defrag) and windows checkdisk.. :/

Done with my midterm. Seriously, thinking that floating number's mantissa is somehow decimal is really bad on an exam. Anyway, whenever I try the Partition magic 8.0 on it, (I've tried sizes from 8G~18G) it always gives me error 983, and it's not one of the listed error messages... :/...

is there any way to resize the windows xp boot partition to install linux on it? I dont really feel like a format->fresh install cuz I just got that laptop... :/
