I recently upgraded my serverassist software to the newest version and now i cannot activate it. Is there a way to do this if you have the evaluation version installed? I would just like to avoid losing all my settings. Thanks!

Hey everyone, Im.... well i guess you can say upgrading from windows 2k server adv to windows xp pro. This is our utility machine and we need to temp install win XP on it. it wont let me upgrade from server to xp pro. Im thinking of just booting to fdisk but doesnt fdisk have problems w/ NTFS...

the 850 chipset doesnt support 8x agp. neither does intels new chipset comming out.

Hows your heat inside your box lookin? The 9700 is still having a lot of driver issues since its still realitivley new. You got a strong enuff psu to power that rig? nothing less then 450 watts id hope. id try switchin up vid cards to see what happens when your run mabey a Ti in there instead.

I have the exact same mobo. Unfortunatley i got PC3500 which is 433mhz DDR and it wont read anything higher then 266 Mhz. I tried setting it manually in bios and my benchmarks are still low. Intel is lame and wont let me overclock so i guess its time for a new mobo. I suggest waiting until the...

I have an older PC w/ close to the very same specs. Its a via mobo and i went and bought a 64mb Gforce 2. Works great and really sped the system up. It was a great fix for under 50 bucks. Runs XP Pro a lot nicer.

And your sure that youve copied all the necessary boot files to your HDD?

I installed the RC1 .Net Server onto a 10 gig partition. I set up Active Dir., DNS, and all that. But is there any way to have .Net Server running in the background while im using my XP Pro partition? Id like to maintain a domain while still having access my PC

Ok so you wiped your Hard Drive? You cant boot to a blank hard drive. So you have to go into your BIOS and look for the boot order. Make your CDROM drive the first device on your boot list. After that just restart your computer, put your prefered OS into your CDROM drive and press any key to...

300W should be enough. To check plug in only your mobo and Hard drive. Leave everything else unplugged and see what happens. I dont know about your board but mine needs the 4 pin 12v connector. Most of the newer p4 boards do, make sure you PS has one of these. if you see an empty 4 port spot on...

OK the way i understand a bit versus a byte is that it takes 8 bits to create one byte. So therefore a 100 megaBIT network connection is equal to 100/8 so in essence it is really a 12.5 megaBYTE network connection. Am i getting this correct? This is why it takes 2 min to transfer a 200 megaBYTE...

I had a similar problem trying to load XP onto a machine w/ faulty RAM. Trade your friends out w/ yours and try installing the OS

Try going into your BIOS and making sure that your video is pointing to your AGP slot. Boards sometimes get confused when you first put them together and may not know which video device you want to use.

Do you have a good quality thermal paste applied to the heatsink? If not try getting some artic silver or coolermaster grease.
