How do I get 1600x1200 on an integrated 6100 video card? Even 1280x1024 would be nice... Latest drivers; and a few older ones do nothing. Omega has stopped nVidia development. BIOS states that I've allocated 128MB of RAM to video (the maximum), You'd think that would be enough?

I'm now commuting between 2 NPR affiliates that use different programming schedules. Most of the shows I'm interested in are available as a podcast. I want my system to automatically get these as MP3 so I can burn them to disk or whatever. Does anyone have experience with this?

I need to do some pretty serious modding on the power supply for my new system (airflow, cable lengths, connector count, fans, etc). Part of this will be a new wiring harness. Are the voltages/colors of the wires (red, yellow, orange, white, black, blue) an industry standard? I'd like to use the...

Hi, My GF uses Outlook for everything and loves it. She has been using it on the desktop I built for her with her PST file stored on the server in the attic. Now I've bought her a laptop for use when she's on the road, and set up the built-in synchronization for all her files. Unfortunatly, it...

I installed ACT (latest version) on a new Server 2003 x64 server and am having all kinds of problems. Apparently it doesn't like the MSSQL backend. I've googled for stuff but no clear responses to the problem were evident. If anyone has an idea of where to start, I would appreciate it.

I haven't figured out how to do this yet, but here is what I want. SFF (Ideally a shuttle, no bigger than an Antec Aria) Dual-Core (Either Core2Duo or A64 X2) High quality 2-channel audio out (Are any onboard solutions any good?) Decent gaming video (I want to play games, but high quality is...

I threw this together in the last few minutes for a friend. If you have input that would be great. I don't want it any longer or more complicated than what it is, but if there are errors or clarifications that would be fab. Summary: Web pages are made of a bunch of HTML files and some...

Building out a resteraunt. They already have all the cameras and the PCI-based capture card. The system will be running XP Pro or Server 2003 (haven't decided yet). I need software that can monitor/record 8 cameras. If it has a web server that would be awesome, high-level compression would be...

This thread is meant to be a discussion of audio equipment. Both inside computers to the limit of computer-based audio, and viable alternatives at the high-end. This is a topic that I would like to learn more about, and any questions/information on this topic is welcome in this thread. The...

1. Passively cooled Mobo 2. Socket 939 3. At least one PCI-E 16x slot Preferably not SLI, as that reduces the number of PCI slots.

I've built a custom lighting enclosure using daylight flourescent bulbs. I have some highly reflective stuff that I think is Mylar, and I'd love to simply wrap it around the back of the bulbs to use as a reflector. However, I know the ballasts jack the voltage up to the tens of thousands of...

Anyone try this? I just got invited to the Beta, and I don't even really know what it is. Looks like a funky application of bittorrent, but only to your friends? If anyone wants an invitation, I can get you one. Just PM me.

My server has 3 GbE NICs in it at the moment. 2 to different internal networks and one to the router. They are currently all bridged and do a great job. I would like to add a wireless NIC with an external antenna to the mix, but bridging isn't an option. Security would be nice, QOS would be...

I've started trading tango songs with some of the other DJs. The easiest way to do it is via USB thumbdrives. I've bought a handful of these and they work incredibly well. As a gift to some of the people I trade with who don't have cd players in their cars, I'd like to give them a device that...

My birthday is coming up, and I want a radar detector. Considering I consistently drive 1000+ miles a week at speeds averaging 80mph, the odds are against me. Does anyone have one? Good experiences? Thoughts? I'm debating just getting a Valentine 1, as they have been the "best" for a long...

Anyone have experience building these things? Anyone have a vendor they like? This ought to be an interesting project, considering all the different elements (including credit card processing) that are involved.

I wore through the spacebar on my old set, so I decided to get a new one: Logitech Cordless Desktop MX5000 Laser Bluetooth I decided to go with this one based on some past experiences with logitech's gear. They used to have serious issues with their bluetooth drivers, but I have confirmed that...

Congrats to the following people for their recent proof of having nothing better to do: LunarMist - 1k i - 1k LiamC - 1k Clocker - 2k Santilli - 2k Buck - 4k ...and of course, Mercutio, for averaging over 5 posts per day since Jan, 2002!

I'm having a hard time finding reviews of this video card. From what I can tell, GeCube came up with the tech, but I can't find anything else. Thoughts?

None of my new Shuttle XPS systems will boot if there is a USB keyboard/mouse attached. PS/2 works fine, none at all (plugging in USB after boot) works fine. If the USB is connected to any port, either the progress bar halts permanently (normal mode) or safe mode halts at agp30xk.dll or...

MP3Tag is the easiest and most powerful ID3 tag editor i've ever seen, and it's pretty too. Anyone have suggestions for a MP3 web server app?

Looking for a small (6" cube?) CNC machine capable of working with all metals and plastics. Does anyone have suggestions on where to start?

I've started teaching Agentine Tango. I need a portable speaker system that is as easy to carry as possible, while providing powerful high-quality sound. Oh, and I'd like it to be under $300. Right now I'm using my Klipsch 2.1 system in a duffel. This is a little big, and a lot heavy, but it...

Client of mine got his machine from a shady dealer, and it has a pirated copy of XP on it. Updates refuse to run, and he can't download certain things from microsoft. He has a legal copy of Windows that I provided for him, but doesn't want to blow away his install (and all his apps) to do it. Is...

If you had to setup a secure FTP server, what would you use? Some things I've already got: 1. Dedicated server 2. Isolated VLAN 3. Rules to only allow FTP traffic through (ports 20-23, correct?) What I need is suggestions on the software. The OS will be Server 2003 because that is what I...

Samsung SP2504C (SATA/250GB/7200RPM/8M) - about 6 months old. It's been in a machine I built with the following components: Gigabyte NF4-SLI board AMD 3800+ X2 2GB Buffallo Select PC3200 RAM nVidia 6200TC PCI-E Video Antec Neo-HE 380W PS Antec P180 Chassis This system has been working fine...

I get to be an expert at setting up a microsoft VPN on Monday. Any particular suggestions on where to start?

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/04/29.html#a8104 I found this very funny. It was (like most of his material) a bit slow, but considering the crowd, it shows he has Balls.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833320110 Anyone have experience with this hardware? I need this functionality for a project. TIA

I need to find a reason to play with one of these. Considering I aim for 18dB on my desktops, this made me laugh. Other than DivX-ing movies really quickly, or VMWare-ing an enterprise in a suitcase, what could I do to justify the price of one of these?

This is stemming from a thread I just started in the tech support forum, and expands the matter. I have a friend who is not the easiest to work with - Beating my head against the wall for half a day trying to work with Norton AV is easier than trying to explain why she should switch to a better...

That's my problem, in a nutshell. I get to the machine, and it's showing an error message on startup: Then norton shows that it's "Intrusion Detection" component hasn't started. When I try to start it, an error appears telling me to re-install. After re-installation, nothing has changed. Help?

I've been looking at a Treo 700w, primarily for it's ability to integrate with outlook, but I'm also exploring other purposes. It seems I'm always picking up new clients in hard-to-reach locations, or driving up to the bay area to dance. I've found this nifty GPS unit with a Bluetooth reciever...

Here's something I don't know much about. (again) My GF recently totalled her work vehicle (a 1994 Ford Windstar). It was modified to hold all her work gear and had uprated suspension and transmission to handle the additional weight. Unfortunatly, she'd never had the brakes uprated, so now it's...

I'm building a bunch of machiens to be used as smoothwall routers. Here is what I've come up with so far: VIA EPIA PD 6000 - Fanless 600Mhz, Dual Ethernet - $170.00 pico PSU-80 - 80 Watt tiny PS - $45.00 VoomPC Enclosure - Aluminium Chassis - $80.00 CF-IDE adapter - Allows CF to connect to...

Gigabyte nForce 4 motherboard, passively cooled with one of these: But it's still running quite hot @ 260Mhz and +0.2v :o It isn't unstable in any way, but it's way too hot to touch, and that makes me nervous. I'm looking for a more effective passive cooling solution; there isn't that much...

I'm looking at this one. Maximum horizontal measurement is 29". Any comments?

I can connect to an instance of MSDE using SQL authentication just fine locally, but when I move the server to the other end of a VPN connection, I can't see the server. Any ideas? Google gives me a bunch of junk.

I was so excited at the opportunity to work on this machine; the video cards alone cost more than my whole rig. 1900XTX (x2 - master/slave) AMD FX57 Sapphire Crossfire Advantage PC-A9RD480Adv etc, etc... So, I have the Crossfire Edition 1900XTX (master) card in the master PCIe slot, and the...

I was just playing around on Google Earth and thought it would be interesting to see where we all physically are, possibly even put together a composite of some kind. (Perhaps a Google Earth overlay?) What I'd like to see here is a Lat/Lon that is as accurate to your primary computer as...

I'll have a camera outputting composite video connected to a dedicated computer, via a capture card of some kind. Here's what the customer wants: 1. Live webcasting of video 2. Saved images at a (much) lower framerate 3. Storage for ~1 week of video 3. Storage for 1 year of images Does anyone...

I'm in the market, my stock X800 from gigabyte is nice and fanless, but it can't keep itself cool enough. I'd really like one of the video cards that exhausts outside the case. I currently have my eye on the HIS Hightech X1600XT IceQ, but I certainly don't want to go backwards in terms of...

My GF's new computer is ready. All I need to do is move her information from her Mac to her PC. From what I can tell she needs the following info migrated: iCal Mail Address Book QuickBooks What's the easiest way to get these first three into Outlook 2003? And please, no Mac/PC comments. I...

CDex? EAC? Something else? Why?

I have a fileserver running XP Pro with a JBOD array of dynamic discs. I want to remove the OS and install Server 2003 and import the array (and all it's data). Does anyone see a problem with this? I know backing up would be a great idea, but frankly I don't have the spare drives to backup ~2TB...

It's really crazy for me to still be using add-on video for basic office machines and low-end servers. What do you guys use? S939 is preferred, but A64 is a must. DVI is preferred, but VGA will do. TIA

There are a few people here whos opinion I respect that reccomend VIA motherboards (Tannin and Mercutio primarily). I've ignored their suggestion, preferring nVidia nForce4 options until now. I know nothing about VIA's products, haven't read anything about them in ages, so your suggestions are...
