Optimizing a comp for 1 program

evilhomer

I would like some tips on how to optimize my laptop for a single program (WinVu!) I will be running it 24/7, and only running that, nothing else on win95, so if you have any tips on how to optimize my comp for running a single program (besides closing all other useless processes) please post them here.

The GF4 Ti4200 is here :)

Palos

One of the first shops in Germany to list it online. . . prices for the 64MB version seem to be between €220-250 (on Ebay) and €250-290 for the 128MB. €220 ~ US$194 €290 ~ US$256 As u can see quite expensive.

NTFS compatibility

HawkBoy

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I was wondering what the odds of a program being incompatible with NTFS are. Also, what do u guys think of the convert command (to convert to NTFS).

Spam control

SnapperOne

A friend of mine says ***ually oriented spam was autoloading stuff onto his desktop by coming in as e-mail with 1995 or earlier creation dates, even though it was received, as an example, today. Since he views his e-mail in decending date order, the old e-mail was usually just off his screen and therefore out-of-site.

ATX 12v PSU Question

pmistry

If I get an ATX 12v PSU can I use that with an Athlon motherboard. I am thinking you just don't use the 12v connector right? I want to upgrade the PSU on my Athlon to a P4 one so I can add a P4 motherboard later.

What video card do you want?

pmistry

I'm in the market for a new video board, I like the Ti4200 so far, even though it isn't out, thought I would post a poll to see what everyone here is after. I am sort of sensitive to the cost, but will save for Ti4400 or Ti4600 if they are better value, but I think the Ti4400 or 4200 is more than enough compared to ...

Saw the Scorpion King yesterday!

DosFreak

Definetly not a cerebral movie but that's not what it's made for. . . . It's got THE ROCK! Woohoo! He plays his part well in this movie. None of the lame half-scorpion-man stuff. Just all-warrior. My one and only gripe with the movie is that the Sorceress was prety weak magic wise.

A good P4 chipset?

Palos

Im planning on selling my VIA/Athlon setup and build me a P4 system. I want to go for the P4 1. 6 GHz Northwood, it can easily be taken to 2. 2 GHz and stable. The problem now is the motherboard, I'm really in a dilema.

Anytime I reach a website that I can't reach for whatever reason, busy, offline or whatever IE forwards me to instead of giving me the server not found message. Anybody else get this problem, sounds strange but its driving me nuts.

Best AMD Motherboard?

CyberGenX

Got MSI's new KT333 Ultra with PC2700 333MHz DDR last month and I love its speed and stability. Hasn't crashed on me once and everything worked right out of the box! I just wanted to know who you think makes the best AMD based motherboard.

What do you think about these compact all-in-one little boxe

FrogMaster

Almost all in subject. A lot of new mini-boxes have been shown at the last CeBit. I am considering taking one to recycle a PIII 1Gig and some ram sticks which are laying around and build an all-purpose box: router-firewall-lan party-take away on vacations-backup box-mobile dvd player-whatever.

GF3 Ti200 or GF4 MX440 ?

Palos

I don't know what to choose The price difference is about 50 € (US$60), with the GF3Ti200 being the more expensive. The Ti200 I was looking at is the Leadtek model, with 4ns DDR memory, it can be overclocked to Ti500 levels with no problems.
