Cool, hope it isn't anything real bad.

Those are the only ones necasary IIRC.

While my compute ris defragging I am on my mom and dads and noticed pop ups and all sorts of junk. So I looked around and found a free and very exceptional adware removal program. Go here 100% Free and effective, found gator and bonzi buddy and dw. Now to teach my parents how to prevent this.

lmao lol. I doubt they need a gf4 at all onboard video and sound would most likely even be okay. Any good mobos with onboard sound? I think if I make a list for my mom to take to work to give to her friend whos husband is an IT guy with the schools he can and will build it cheaply. Is it worth it for me to get a low end 1600 XP AMD CPU? I know they need at least 256MB RAM though for sure. They and my sis couldn't tell the diff between integrated sound and a Creative Audigy 2 or hell even a Audigy 1 billion so I doubt sound will be that important. What about a GF4 MX460? Are those any good or s

No email or ICQ. It shows up in the browser window always in that kinda form. And it is always when I am entering or refreshing a topic. This is the only place I can remember having it too. May just be on my end but I don't know. I have Comcast Cable for reference.

It isn't always that exact same message but always looks like that. I got it a sec ago while trying to get to this topic.

They shouldn't need more than 256DDR RAM I think. U got a point, I almost thought about steering them in the direction of a P4 so I could take their mobo with an AGP slot for myself Sorry God hehe. What is the most stable AMD mobo? I should tell you what they currently haveALSO: 800MHz AMD Athlon IIRC 256MB PC133 SDRAM TNT2 PRO lmao Crappy CD-RW and Crappy DVD/CD Drives Crappy Creative sound And 20GB HDD. P.S. RooK I have in 3ish months used up over 40GB of space lol

Do I smell some jealousy RooK? Besides cooling what else limits a CPU's clock speed?

In the past few days I get this error message more and more often. …Ñ홬6§,Š˜;$ɯàÄ¢Õg©u«ïmé눽€. „·vt”2g ïëÏl¹âuJaþQF`þé½è«Y,qjõ „ç¢áL%þ°¥çµµ×íõ…á̘¿ $©÷uåÒT…KD03#º`Á*«2}’ö&§0Ä*íLô³ vÕÃUO1×Ù+!”ŠŒäXSahfOÊàÂãl¼qqø½ìO0¥„·´@ ¤ œ=ÊV»‹¡V:eL¿®æŠÝ »KÕá ±[Ä‚#3¹eQ1ô ž›Þl%ÒQ ™üBÄEË —ÔB—‰?"L2Ƕ*ó7ÊØŒÌLæʳL´Êã»Ún!íRu»÷„´}½Å•“Zá,€ÓEr_ÒW&‡5ÑÈ¡QDƒ¦lý IÓ(ÇôŽLâÌGÂꜦxÖ;<ÏiJÿ–˜ã\x*%õa"¦ÂãˆIÄï‚ú¤Q=¯r¹ôqŠ–AœãôZѤã3zòXj(0$G¾È}œGopØíó¼óñ??¼¹œÔFñŠBLÍ_ñ§Òï_œ‚”@‰Ê6}êÀè, ‹˜Ï3°ìI Õ.ÿ,—ªeÁqFiööøìÍùÿ B ¹²è4†a^XÌǸW(¼N(\Rç|È .CÓ ›`\öüßãC§ÉÛ¿CâÚ–åФtmÏKŽü®Ú¸é56 ë¤Íãá˜~NÚ|OædʬUºY¡I¥ªk Ûã-=Pܸ”Ýœô>éèˆn½÷

Okay I will have to get that again I once had it but it didn;'t work maybe I retry it.

I can't believe we are arguing this. Each is best in their respective areas. You can't get a bunch of guys to think that only one SF group is the best out there. They all have varied opinions and ya can't convince them. All that really matters is that they are all good and that is fact. I couldn't imagine this thread going any farther.

F10 gets me into BIOS. But somehow onetime I got into a BIOS that had OC like stuff, multilpies and fan speed adjustment tools. But I don't know how I did it. I think I will call Compaq, would they answer me?

Now something else is happening lots. I have over 200MB RAM left, and 12% CPU usage when computer shuts off, no shutdown screen or nothing. Up until today I had 3 crashes TOTAL on this box for 3 months, in the past 2 days I have had 3. Is it possible that if my disk is 30% fragged the cause? The PSU is less than a month old also. I was dloading wallpapers and all at the time of the most recent crash.

Ahh thanks RooK those ######!

They have decided that they want to buy a new computer, and their old one is just too crapped up (it will shut down in the middle of them typeing a long email etc). So they want a monitor and computer for low level gaming I guess I would say. It pretty much has to be prefab but if not maybe okay. The most intense game on it now is either the Sims or Empire Earth (my sises). So what are your reccs?

Oh well his other parts of his box seem to be more of a bottleneck actually. But I started out this box with integrated everything and all this shiz and am quite proud of it now actually.

My top 3 of all time are (not inany order) Double Take, I almost had a heart attack 1st time I watched it. The Fast and the Furious, cooler than heck! And maybe one of the Blues Brothers movies

I was in BIOS awhile back, and hit F10 to enter BIOS, but I don't remember exactly what I did but for some reason I got clock multipliers and such like for overclocking. I did something to make my CPU fan start spining slow and it beeped at me but I fixed that. Anybody know how I can get back into it? I forgot to ask you guys so here it is about a week later. Again thanks for the elp!

U are 100% correct bro. But I would have to buy awhole new mobo too to uprgade. So I figure this will last me 6 months or so then I will overhaul system since I will have gotten new job at price chopper and be raking in the dough lmao. So that is how I figured it out. And your bud only got 5more FPS than me with his AGP equivelant seems frivilous in that aspect. His AGP slot is bing underutilized.

Thats horrible. God Bless his family through this and the coming times.

*In Monty Burns voice* Excellent Well all I need is my new case and I will setup OC shop. Thanks again Bob and Snake!

LMFAO, there is no AGP slot otherwise I would for sure have an AGP vid card.

Got a slot fan but no more slots wait my modem is fried so if I remove that then I can move down the sound and out the slot fan there. Thanks man u are a geniuos!

WOW Umm, that is fast and crazy.

MMM silver...I would go silver but my keyboard and other stuff is all in a 70% Black 30% Silver motiff plus it will show the Blue, Green, Red and Tri Led fans better in all dark. I think
