Considered a shuttle system? Basically motherboard case and psu in one small box, add the hd\cpu\ram\dvd and memory and thats it set to go.

I need some help. I my computer isnt letting any sound go out. I have tried both the integrated sound card and the Creative Audigy 2Z. They both let sound go in but dont let any come through the headphones or speakers. I have tried downloading drivers but I cannot find the correct ones.

im trying to install a dvd-RW drive, i removed my old cd-rw drive (it was my slave) my master is a regular dvd-rom drive. When i remove the slave and put the new dvd-rw drive in (to replace my old cd-rw drive), my comptuer loads, boots up gets to the desktop, loads everything than it reboots every single time. even if i disconnect all the drives except the new dvd drive and make that a master it still reboots itself. But when i hook my old drive back up it runs fine. Any ideas?

tell me about it dude, it was easy to install. I think i might have some corrupt XP files?

When i install the drive when the comp reboots it says when it finds new hardware it says "Found cd-rom drive" when its a fucking dvd-burning drive.

Problem solved. It was a registry error, i just went into the registry and had to remove the Upperfilter and Lowerfilter out of one of the registry files. And bam my comp works faster and the drive works awesome.

Arriving tomorow (hopefully)

AMD Opteron UP 144 San Diego 1.8GHz 1MB Cache

Seen people get these upto 3ghz using regular cooling, pretty cheap cpu so its worth taking a chance on happy:

i havent been up to speed on alot of the new hardware and shit, but i dont get it, why are people choosing the opertons over a dual core X2 and the fx-57s? just because they oc to 3ghz?

1200/900 $ vs 200-300 $... MAKE your decision. beer: .

Amd opteron 1.8ghz £99

Amd fx57 2.8ghz £750

So if mine clocks anywhere near 2.8 ive effectively got an fx57 with a £650 discount.

beer:

Im not fussy about dual core either, id rather go for pure mhz for gaming rather than settle for a cpu clocked slower. They also have trouble with some games a the moment.

Ok even though you have an Optura and are going to overclock to 3 ghz. What type of fan power do you need. I'd imagine a nice cooling system.

Assuming it'll clock to 3ghz happy: .

Ive seen some people get to 2.8 or more using just the cooler that comes with the cpu, im gonna be using the default coolre first of all then maybe try watercooling the cpu after i get a new cpu block for my hydrocol.
