Hi Mark- Would pulling out the board and running it while sitting on my desktop be a good way to check for a short or ground problem? I'm not sure how to check for that? Should I let it sit on the motherboard bag and/or the little pad that came with theh motherboard? I forgot to mention that...

Well, I'm still at a loss here. The RMA process with Shuttle was pretty painless. They sent me a new board...I chose not to do the cross-ship option. I installed the new board with a new CPU (actually a Sempron as well as a new 2400XP) and I still get no video on power-up. I have a known...

Hi dd- Just incase you are interested, I just installed a HT-101 on my Barton and the temps dropped about 6-7C compared to a FalconRock with a ~4000RPM 80mmfan on it (I could hear it from across the house). The HT-101 is very quiet and exhausts the hot air from the sink directly up into the...

USPS 2-3 Day Prioirty Mail Delivery Confirmation Tracking Number for the CPU & MB: 03041070000269582261 Thanks Merc, Clocker

:?: I agree that racist exists in all communities. Blacks are racist against whites and vice-versa. White business owners in black communities will always suffer from discrimination just as the blacks may suffer in the communities you mentioned above. Blacks, whites, Arabs, whoever, can...

Please elaborate... C

Well it's about damn time! :-) My Barton @ 2400Mhz won't be able to touch that!! Sweet! C

>85% of the population in my city is either white, middle eastern, or other non-black. Does that make it OK to take similar action to favor one race in my city? I don't think so. There is already enough animosity between blacks and middle easterners in metro-Detroit and this will only fan the...

Congrats Doogie! :wink:

In this day & age, can't blieve this would be proposed by anyone. It's racist againt everyone except Blacks. http://www.freep.com/news/locway/detplan21e_20040921.htm

I read somewhere that gmail invites where being used for phishing (hope I got that right) so I might not just give them to a site that collects them... C

Audigy2 ZS is still available... Going once...going twice...

I went through the bone marrow screening as well. No matches yet. I would find it to be a great opportunity to have the chance to extend or save someone life... C

Wow....it turns out that BOTH the CPU and the board appear to be bad. I put the suspect CPU in a different board (known working) and it would not boot. I put a new CPU in the suspect board and it won't boot either (although the new CPU is not tested, it is brand new). Damn...I'm thinking I...

As a bonus, all items I sell come with 1.5 rolls of clear packing tape. :-)

Sounds good. I take PayPal. Let me know if you need my PayPal addy. If you want to use PayPal through a credit card (non-cash transfer), please throw an extra few % on there to cover the transaction fees. The Audigy is still available. Thanks, Clocker

I played around with the Intel stuff below but I’ve decided to go back to AMD after finding out I will need faster memory and a more overclocking friendly motherboard to realize the potential of the P4 2.4C. I'm sure it will clock to 3.0ghz and above but I don't want to go through the effot to...

Man...I'm a Mess!!

Thanks Merc. I won't hold my breath, then. It will probably be less headaches and wasted time to just buy a new board. I'll give them 24 more hours to reply to my RMA request and just move on if they don't. BTW, I made a typo. The board is actually an AN35N Ultra v1.1 . C

If I don't have a receipt, will Shuttle honor my RMA request? Just curious if anyone has experience with them as well. The M/B in question (AK39N Ultra v1.1) may not have even been out for a year but I guess they can tell the date of manufacture by the S/N. Thanks, C Reference this thread

I just pulled the CPU again and then reinstalled it. The 'overheat' light does NOT come on now. This M/B seems really flaky to me, especially given startup the issues I had just before I did any upgrading at all... :x

Now I'm a little confused. The CPU looks fine, not burnt or chipped. But, after removing it for inspection and then reinstalling it, an LED on the motherboard lights up which is supposed to indicate "CPU Overheat". However, it happens within seconds of the fans spinning up. I can't think of...

So, are routers like some people are using at home (i.e. Linksys, Negear) an adequate defense? Or should I be doing more than that? I've stopped using ZoneAlarm in favor of WinXP SP2's firewall. My thought right now is that I'm pretty safe with the hardware wall as well as the (the rather...

CK- Great suggestions I'll check into when I get home tonight! The M/B has no jumpers other than Clear CMOS which I already did. BUt, I will look for bad caps and check the socket area. I think the chip core is fine (no issues installing the cooler) but I'll double check. Would no CPU (or a...

FOrgot to mention I tried a different video card too.... THanks, C

Hey guys- I'm a bit stumped. I've been swapping some components around in different systems. In my one system (Shuttle AN35N Ultra), I pulled out a T-Bred B and replaced it with a Barton. Now the system won't boot at all, I get no video either. Drives power up and fans are going but I...

...or use an i865PE board with the ICH5 controller (from what I hear). I will be attempting to install WinXP on a SATA HDD using this setup soon :-P

I heard (from Blake I believe) that there is a patch for WinXP SP2 to allow P2P programs to work better (because SP2 limits the number of connections on ports). Does anybody have any good/reliabile links or more info about it? Has M$ relased any official fixes or are these all hacks? THanks, C

Yeah but I really want them to beat Green Bay in the Super Bowl! It was all a dream anyway...the Lions might make it to the playoffs but they sure as hell won't be winning the Super Bowl. C

Detroit Lions over Green Bay Packers 35 to 7

OMG, just in reverse. Duh. C

Someone please give me a clue. :?:

LOL. I looked long and hard for that picture. I just wanted a guy who *rocked* and had the goat horns hand symbol up. :-) I have no idea who they are....

Buck, Merc, P5, dd- Thanks a lot for helping me think this purchase decision through. This GPU market seems to change so much it's hard for someone like me to keep track of. it It's great to have experts like you around to provide sound advice. Too bad I'm not in the market for a pure value...

Thanks for clairifying. Anyway, I'm thinking about going with THIS CARD. I was considering the 256MB version because it was just a little more $ but I read that they are coming with slower clocked memory so I figured I'd stick with the 128MB card with 400Mhz memory. I would have thrown in a...

I don't mean to be difficult, but, why would I want to do that? I don't need an extra cooler. I just want the fastest card I can get for $100-$105. If you guys help me get it down to choosing between an nVIdia or ATI card, that would be supreme. I'm thinking it will probably be an ATI card...

~$105 is about what I have to spend and I want to get the most card I can for that amount. Fanless is definitely preferred. No nVidia or ATI preference. That $65 card is nice but can I get one that performs better and is faness for $105? What about those 5700LE cards? THanks, C

What's your recommendation for a video card at ~$100? Gaming performance is a higher priority than features or 2D image quality. C

ddrueding or anyone else- PM me if you still want an invite. I don't want to waste them if you're all set already. C

Let me know if you still need them and I'll send them out Wednesday AM. I only have 3 left. C

Thanks for the idea Merc. I might take it a step further! The 2.4 HT Northwood P4s are just a little more and they overclock nicely too. Sounds like a good opportunity for a significant increase in WU production.... :wink:

Hi guys- I'm generally an AMD guy but I bought the SOYO P4 i865 P4 motherboard that was basically free after rebate @ Newegg. This is the board: http://www.soyousa.com/products/proddesc.php?id=298 I plan on building a system around it and giving it as a gift at Christmas time. My question is...

I have 6 more invites to give out. If interested, post here. FCFS. C

Nice post, jtr.

Correct. From what I have ready it's a problem with a poorly written driver and that is all. Not M$'s or AMD's fault. C
