lol, no way i'll have a suitable wip by wednesday. just fyi.

a vga adapter isn't a graphics card, it's just a converter to allow your integrated video that you have on your mobo to come out of the board. likely, your integrated video can't handle vista, so as a result the passthrough (the vga adapter) doesn't work. i'm surprised vista works at all on an fx card. they're like what, five years out of date? six? the mobo burning out thing doesn't apply to this, it applies to two pci express x16 cards (aka, has come out relatively recently) running in sli with a bridge between them. both of those cards are PCI-only, i believe (pci 1.1, right effef?), and can't plug into a pci express slot, even if you had one.

=( there's a dude on these forums who does repairs for really cheap, and rrod doesn't happen again. look up kittykar.

did you ever try using a pico-psu? or did it not have enough power to run your system?

stevo can probably help you out - he's level 99 on this forum and on vgmix. he lives about 45 minutes from there.

has anyone noticed that smoke (the OP guy) hasn't posted since september of 2007? what's up with him? normally i wouldn't say anything, but he's a 14k post guy. you don't just up and walk away from that, you know?

unless you're the guy from overclock.net who used an atom 230 in it, i doubt it really works. but post your specs. beware, computers are one thing that i'll have a say about in my thread, since i sell cunstom boxes. edut - oh snap, sobou, you da man. i'll update that later today.

lol, 9800gtx+...just a little bit of a step up from you =) i did the first wu in about an hour.

i might have to do that. this is getting WAY bigger than i originally thought.

no, the bridge has something to do with it...i don't know what, but you've gotta be careful. sometimes it'll only torch one plug, sometimes the whole deal.

assuming i'm still on the team, i just got the gpu-based encoder working today, and it's kicking ass and taking names. i started it about five minutes ago and i'm 8% of the way through my first work unit on this setup.

if you run two different cards in sli together, you'll brick the board if you're unlucky and burn out the plugs for said cards if you're lucky. happened to a friend of mine.

40/69. i had another eight but couldn't spell them (turbographix turbographics turbographiks DAMMIT).

that's why i stopped using winamp. i use itunes because of my ipod, but i don't like it.

sorry, i had my info wrong. you can't run two cards together in sli or it'll burn out your plugs - but you can use two cards, assuming you've got enough wattage. that's my mistake, didn't realize there was a big distinction. still need product numbers to figure out why one doesn't work.

i'ma gonna try this out. i own an ipod classic and about 52 gigs of music, so it should be a suitable 'stresstest' =)

oh, it's bad. hybrid sli is only for super new cards. if he's got two different cards (possibly even by different chipsets!) plugged into a board and is trying to run them together, you can burn out both plugs or brick the mobo. not to mention damaging the gpus due to a 'brown-out' like condition.

what video cards are they? if you can actually give me a specific name, i can tell you why they did or didn't work. you didn't do something stupid like try to plug both in at the same time, did you?

eh, there's so much to be said about overclocking that i didn't want to get into it. i'll do an overclocking guide someday, but the decision to not include it was purposeful.

this one cost me 17$ at lowes - even walmart has little ones. stick it on a shelf!

good point, that'd fit under cooling. i need to include info on BIOSes, for motherboards as well.

i know, i know, just another excuse to post a picture of your house - but lets see what popular remixers (and not popular, really bad mixers, like me) do for christmas. post your holiday cheer! ^ can you tell we're particularly poor this year?

here are some featured snippets. i write interesting stuff, and my main attempt was to make this nub-friendly. and funny, once in a while. i am double posting for a reason - i want space to answer questions, but the previous post is about four characters away from being too many. so, this post is for questions and additions. things to add: -info on BIOSes to mobo section (including passwords and common back-door passwords) -thermal paste to cooling section/cpu cooler section -AHCI (gawd i know nothing about macs) -mini-itx, which i apparently forgot about even though i bloody love it. things i'm not adding: -info on overclocking worklog: -section 2 done, first post updated to current status. -section 3 done, first post updated to current status. -section 4 done, first post updated. -sections 5 and 6 done, first post updated. -7-12 are done. this is the end of the first stage. now, editing starts. -general grammatical fixing done. now onto content editing. -most content edited. final proofing started.

this is pretty outdated at this point, and i've not updated it in a few years for more recent advances to technology, so i've taken this down. i still have it somewhere if you really want it.

i live in the hills, so i likely will not get great reception for over-air channels. i'll look into getting a cheapo antenna for the tv. thanks guys.
