I had quite the opposite with my Colorado Memory System tape drive, maybe due to me opting for the floppy accelorator card to go with it ?!? It worked just fine for me, it was the Zip Drives that always gave me fits, any inteface model, I had the parallel port and the internal IDE models and both …

If you do upgrade to an x64-bit OS then you wil want to use the 3GB enabler patches found using the Vc++ editbin procedures out there for games like Fallout 3 and New Vegas. However, remember that any Steam games are protected by Steam, modifying these .exe files will result in the Steam game not …

So it's essentially a low-end Wintel box in a C64 case. It might make a cool-looking HTPC, but if I actually want a C64, I'll just hunt down the real thing on eBay. XD I hear you, this is why I kept a couple of working ones around and also a couple of hanger queens for parts ;) I also have a couple …

Cluster wrote: Thanks for the quick reply! That solved it. 😀 It's amazing how many issues that resolved, also note the UAC that both Vista and Windows 7 have configured by default, prompting the user to run this or that application. I've seen issues with installs if you don't run as the admin first …

Re: Gigabyte GA-MA790GP Motherboard Question

isnt that board supposed to use 1066mhz ram with a phenom2 ? I supports 800/1066/1200 speed DDR2 memory modules. @Mau1wurf1977, no I didn't overclock at all. I will reset the defaults for the BIOS and try again. So far testing with only two sticks of ram seems to be working, going to play some …

Gigabyte GA-MA790GP Motherboard Question

Posted on 2011-04-03, 06:16

I noticed some random crashing and reboots of my gaming rig in the past week or so. Today, I was getting them almost everytime I ran a game. I noted the same error code nearly every time so I checked things out further. Seems to be related to failing or faulty RAM. I have the above listed mobo with …

Now, I'm thinking about a friend of mine, that advised me to connect my PS3 to my TV using a very expensive HDMI cable, and was really sure that I would notice huge improvement in visual quality...... lol I did this thinking the same thing too, I purchased as a test, a $30.00 Belkin HDMI cable and …

I use HDMI cables with just a DVI dongle as the thin HDMI wire just looks nicer compared to a thick "old fashioned" monitor cable ;) I have both and both work for me too. I just went to Fry's Electronics and got the cheapest DVI to HDMI cable they had, don't pay for something you do not need, …

Re: Civ III Windows 7 problem

Try this trick: After running the game once and quitting, look in your gameDir for Civilization3.ini. Edit it, and add this line to the bottom: keepRes=1 When you run the game, it should run at your desktop's resolution instead of 1024x768.

Interesting, I don't feel so bad about purchasing the same card in the sell off of the MAC section at CompUSA so many years ago ;) They had a single MAC Edition PCI card that I thought would work well with a Power Center MAC Clone box, turns out I was wrong. Performance was completely lacking. Then …
