    dead lcd display and cpu fan

    the cpu is a 32-bit, not 64, btw. i failed to mention that (it's been a long week) one of the first things i did after this happened, was to unplug that 2nd hdd. it was my first assumption that the psu couldn't handle all the components. that made no difference. the system would work fine...

    i just finished building a system for a friend. i've run into a problem and hope someone can lead me in the right direction. the case is pretty cheap and flimsy and the quality isn't great. instead of taking my advice and buying a decent psu, my friend said he'd like me to use the one that...

    Abit NF7-S2 and AMD Barton 2600+

    yup, i can post easily at fail-safe defaults. i've tried going into the bios and playing only with the fsb and not the timings. setting it to 133mhz causes it to crash! i should be able to get it to run out of the box at 166mhz fsb. i used a thin layer of radioshack brand thermal paste on the...

    2 NIC connection

    i could be way off on this, but i'll take a guess and say you need to connect your xbox directly into the cable modem or to a router in order to play online.

    Concurrent Remote Desktop Sessions

    interesting, because when i try, it crashes. to clarify, when i remote to a machine and try to start a remote session to another computer from that machine, i crash. i haven't tried starting 2 sessions on the same computer to 2 other computers - that would seem like it would work.

    Problem getting Win98 to run correctly on sys with mucho memory.

    kinda blows my mind that you have such a sweet rig like that and you're using win 98. have you tried running your games in win xp pro and using compatibility mode for 98 or 95? why not try some new titles?
