    Low Profile PCI Video Card

    I would hope that your Aopen card comes with the low profile bracket.(Because I found it via the low profile link on their website) For example, I installed a Matrox 550 AGP the other day, and the low profile bracket was included, just in case... Aopen is a reputable company, so you you...

    Low Profile PCI Video Card

    This is the one I bought and have no probs with. It plays Quake3, Neverwinter Nights, and Unreal II with no problems as long as I don't max out my resolution. You may need to write Gainward for the low profile bracket, or get a dremel and mod a blank if you are handy...

    Low Profile PCI Video Card

    That was 48.99 PLUS shipping, not equals.... Another find for the Nvidea Quadro4 low profile PCI: http://www.insightcomponents.com/ic/apps/productpresentation/index.php?product_id=PNYVCQ4206

    Low Profile PCI Video Card

    A whole lot of the informative threads on Make/model and where to purchase are now gone from that thread, as I posted several there once upon a time. I have a flexATX motherboard in a notebook IBM case. Super small, but needs all low profile cards, with no AGP slot on the board. I ended up...

    Caputuring analog VHS input for conversion to DVD

    I'm using the Matrox RT.X100 for analog capture (for real time dvd compliant MPEG2 capture off of BetaSP), but that's out of most peoples price range. ($1000 USD) Even the RT.X10 is around $500. I can spit out Windows Media, Realmedia, DVD compliant MPEG2, AVI's and quicktime movies, and works...

    DVD-R Questions

    My bad.... I meant 2 hours of video , not 200 minutes.

    DVD-R Questions

    A dvd-r will hold 200 min of video burned in a manner that allows it to be played on a stand alone player. For more than that you need AC3 encoding in your authoring software. ...And I thought that was pretty much the way it was... but I bought Kentucky Fried Movie the over day, and the...

    Can anyone recomend a decent web and email host please

    What kind of content would be hosted, and for what field of business? We host educational, non-profit, local arts and "community value" styles of websites. I'm at a PBS station that is owned by 13 member-school divisions, so we are only able to provide certain types of content...

    Casing choices

    I recently purchased an Antec Sonata. It's as little(!) as $110 delivered, but comes with a 380watt antec tru-power supply. Quality throughout, and has a big ol' 120mm fan in back. No problems keeping my p4 2.53ghz @ 533mhz cool, even with the gig of ddr ram, geforce4 t14800, audigy2, and 3...

    weirdest video card problem

    Ditto on ATI's poopy drivers. The latest version of their SW makes my cpu reboot if I try to watch TV. (ati all in wonder 7500) I keep a sthash of a working build in case I do something stupid... like upgrade the ATI software. I would agree w/ killowatt. Go back to catalyst 2.4 and see if that...

    Overclocking... Pros and Cons

    I agree with Tom's most of the time... but as Triumph the insult comic dog would say.... I love ATI... ATI is the best... ..for me to poop on! No really , I kid! They are really #1.. for me to go #2 on! Ahem, sorry to get off the subject.

    ATI 7500/sound blaster live compatibilty?

    I have a similar setup w/ the all in wonder 7500 ,sb live! , and xp1800+. No problems besides those ATI drivers. Seems they posted new drivers one day when I was reloading my system to get Windows Media Player9 completely off. The drivers they had posted were bad, and they replaced the bad ones...

    Overclocking... Pros and Cons

    I usually associate overclocking w/ the engineer downstairs who tries to do it on every machine we give him. Mysteriously, he tells other people in the building of his "guru" abilities... and I cannot tell you the times I have brought a machine back to life, only to realize that he was...

    For those who doubt the power of RPG....

    Hmmmm... and to think I thought RPG meant Role Playing Game! Too much 1st edition D&D in my youth obviously.

    Radeon 9500pro fps drops!

    Try running a windows update. ATI released a driver there that is not on ATI's site that fixed a directx8.1 issue I was having w/ my radeon. Of course .... it took them a few months to do this cause it looked like they were too busy renewing their "commitment to develop better customer...

    case upgrade

    I just upgraded my low profile flex case (ibm netvista) and stuck a low profile PCI w/ s-video out on it (to play divx movies and stuff on my 36" TV). It's a gainward geforce4 mx440-se w/ 64mb of ddr memory. (onboard intel 810 chipset blows!) I'll admit it plays Quake3 and Unreal Tournament...

    Video card

    Take a look at this awesome Gainward card: http://www.hothardware.com/hh_files/S&V/gain_gf4ti_4600.shtml I personally would steer clear of ATI, upgrading the drivers is such a pain in the rear. Been using ATI since 98 @ work for various capture purposes, but for games and movies (at home), stay...

    ATI Drivers

    Just a general note... I've been using ATI all-in-wonder cards for years now at work (and still do) for either capturing video , or using the multiple outs for simultaneous projector and monitor usage in classes. No way would I use an ATI at home though. I have a stack of useless ATI cards that...
