I don't think it does - I seem to remember settings staying the same on boards I flash (when I forget to reset it). Plus, if memory serves me correctly, I had to perform a CMOS clear on my Abit IC7...

Ah yes, I forgot about overclocking. :o

Isn't that supposed to be done after the update? :confused:

ShawnCplus, please don't resurrect old topics, especially those from 3 years ago!

By the way, welcome to the forums.

I suggest you google some benchmarks belama, and compare the numbers you care about. ;)

It sounds like you have a hard drive controller that Windows has no drivers for. These days, it's usually a SATA controller, but it might also be a RAID setup or an obscure product. You will need the...

Well, that is true.......for pretty much any consumer processor currently on the market. Thing is, you get such good performance regardless that it's not really worth worrying about. :-|

Any CPU above 3000Mhz or 3000+ will give you suberb performance with that video card. Any CPU that starts doubling in price for the next model up in that 3000 and above range is probably not worth...

Sounds like your friend formatted in FAT16, an old filesystem that was phased out after Windows 95, or his PC might not support large hard drives (which can be fixed with a BIOS option, update, or a...

Please create a new thread for your troubles mdbillus (if you haven't already). I do believe your problem is significantly different to warrant a separate discussion (but you should still have your...

Heavens, this looks terribly confusing!

You installed the drive as a slave and it showed up correctly in the BIOS. Now, did you partition and format the drive? Or did you use some program that was...

Errm....I just stick the motherboard on top of the metal risers and screw in. Easy done.

You're an unnecessarily fussy old prick Catweazle (hey, his words, not mine!). :D

It just sounds like you haven't correctly installed the drives. Put the hard drive on the primary IDE channel (the first connector on the motherboard - usually labelled IDE0 or IDE1). Ensure it is...

That "IEEE1394" is a firewire port, which you can use to connect your DV camcorder to stream off digital video.

The inputs and outputs on your video card allow you to output (TV-out) a signal to...

Does it stay "on" or just completely shut down after a short period of time?

So where exactly are you seeing this slowdown? When does it occur?

As you would expect, but what about all the other programs fighting for system memory? 256Mb is bearable on a Windows XP system, but there is still a fair amount of swapping. You will notice a fair...

What do you mean by slowing down exactly? Is your computer "thrashing" the hard drive more often than usual? If an operating system runs low on available system RAM, it is forced to swap out to...
