    Best DVD Burner for less than $200.

    I figured it out...my AC3 decoder/encoder was a p.o.s. so I got the .70 codec and it worked fine. Just having a problem finding a good .avi splicer/paster.

    Best DVD Burner for less than $200.

    I just started using DVD shrink to rip DVD's for use in converstion to .avi. I used to use a conglomerate of apps to rip back in the day. I was wondering if you could elucidate why it is that I am unable to rip sound properly, or actually at all. The rip turns out high quality VOB's, but there...

    Quick question: best Gforce FX5900 card

    I concur, I think that that day is approaching at an ever increasing pace. However, the problem doesn't necessarily lie in the perverbial laps of either the GPU makers nor the software companies. I think that a lot of it has to do with consumers. Consumers desire, and almost need to know that...

    Quick question: best Gforce FX5900 card

    I thought that some of you might get a kick out of this. The link for the page is http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=11659 if you want the background on the story. This is absolutely hilarious. Look just below the counter on the Nvidia booth on the right side of the pic, looks like ATI made...

    AMD 64 FX-51 Benchmarks out

    It appears that AMD might have something to finally shout about again. I'm still a bit incredulous, but you never know with AMD, they came out of nowhere with the Athlon, but they're evidently trying to crawl out of their shells. Interesting scores here though on the Linux Kernel...

    Can format my RAID drives

    I'm assuming that they are designed to run after SP1 is installed. I think that it is the equivalent of the XP home vs. professional incompatability, but the important thing is that I now have my .7 Tb's worth of storage capacity! Thanks again guys!

    Quick question: best Gforce FX5900 card

    I must agree with LiamC, Nvidia has not only lost their stranglehold on the market, but they are relentless and unscrupulous in their endeavor to retake the throne from ATI. ATI cards are just pound for pound the best cards on the market. The fact that the designers one of the 2 most hyped up...

    New Chip for Intel

    What ever happened to the damn P5 Prescott that was so hyped up and supposedly going to topple AMD for good (not that Intel hasn't officially done that already, at least in the OC/hardcore gamer department).

    Can format my RAID drives

    Got it all sorted out guys. Thank you so much for the help. It turned out that although the drivers for the controller were working properly, Asus said that I should try a different version (I had the XP ones, but I had a newer version designed for SP1). Got them up and running and finally...

    Can format my RAID drives

    You have the drivers installed and they work fine? Drivers are only designed as a bridge between the operating system and the hardware. They are not required at the BIOS level. Thus, if you have the drivers installed, then are we to figure that you have the operating system installed? In...

    Can format my RAID drives

    Yes, I have the drivers installed, and they work fine. The RAID controller has set up the array just fine on the boot. The problem is that when I boot off of the Win XP CD, it doesn't recognize the drives to format them in NTFS.

    Can format my RAID drives

    In device manager, it says that my WinXP Promise FastTrak RAID controller is functioning. I already have WinXP installed on my boot drive which is SCSI. Should I disconnect my SCSI drive and then CD-boot the comp and see if that works? I will try disconnecting my IDE channel two primary HD...

    Can format my RAID drives

    I'm actually running 2 WD PATA drives. I'm running SP1 (partially SP1 because I can't get full SP1 if you know why and what I mean). When I boot, the promise RAID controller recognizes the 2+O stripe and posts that everything is functioning. Because the drives aren't formatted, when I get...

    Can format my RAID drives

    Anyone out there who can direct me to a WIN XP Pro boot disk that has a version of FDISK on it that supports hard drives bigger than 64 GB? I'm running a Promise onboard RAID controller (Asus P4C 800-E Deluxe mobo) and I use my SCSI drive to boot XP. I simply need a way to format these drives...
