Thanks Dan,
I thought as much. So there is no real need to go all out for the most expensive M-Board. That leaves a much better budget scope for the screen card and CPU. Thanks.

Unless you need some of the specific features it has, no. At the same time, the $50 difference between an entrylevel board from asus/abit/etc and a similar looking board from someone like pcchips is primarily in the quality of components used, so you're trading away stability and hardware life expectancy. Unless your budget is badly strained this isn't a good idea.

Hi Guys,
I have a wireless lan at home and I have two computers connecting to this network on dhcp. The access point is netgear WGT624 wireless router. All this is working fine.
Now I have a E60 smartphone. It detects the access point in the available wlan connections list. Now, I have to setup the access point in the phone with the ssid and other configurations of the wlan. But when I try to connect to my access point it simply doesn't connect and says "unable to connect". Now I use the service providers access point to connect and that works fine. Has anyone here experienced a local wlan connection issue with nokia smartphone. I am really clueless after having read the manuals and experimenting. I tried to send the problem to tech support at the nokia website via their web interface and it would just bounce back an email to my email address saying that the customer support email doesn't work.
Any clues to fix this, please shoot out.
Thanks,
Vipin

Someone bought my son a copy of "LEGO Star Wars" for the PC. Of course, none of the kit we have has an advanced enough video card to play it.
Is there a way to find out (without installing a card and trying it) whether a card supports a particular feature/version (in this case PixelShaders 1.1) of DirectX?
NB: I know about the DXCAPS stuff, but I want to make sure I buy the right card; I also don't want to spend a huge amount of money, having seen some cards for more than 100 UKP...
in the frame at the moment are
GEFORCE FX 5200
ATI RADEON 9550
GEFORCE 6200
I've looked on the NVidia website, but that didn't help much, and the Eidos site wasn't exactly useful. Is there a 'supported features' list available?

(Grrr... can't modify my message for some reason...)
In addition to the AGP cards, I'm also considering
PCI Express : GEFORCE 6200TC
PCI: NVIDIA FX5200
Ideally, there's someone out there who has one of these and can tell me that LEGO SW actually works!
Annoyingly, I opted for the Intel graphics option (at no 'extra' cost) rather than the NVIDIA when I bought my laptop

Hi Steve S,
I am using a Geforce fx 5200 AGP card now and i find it quite good. Although it is a "old" card, i can play "doom 3", "Half life 2" and "Lord Of The Ring Battle for middle earth 2" with it. Not on full Detail settings of course. I'll ask i few friends of mine that are runnig the same screen card if they've played "LEGO SW". But i can't see why it wouldn't.
But i'll get back to you.

TVM. I managed to find a PDF on MSDN which details various chipsets and the feature support for DX9, which told me that yes, it will work. It's not the fastest card, and turning on all the game video features does slow it down, even on a P4 2.xGHz 1.5GB RAM system, but it's playable, which was the main thing.

Either amplify the file ("make the file louder") or try to find out which volume-setting the modem-output uses and increase that programatically.
For example: you can set different volumes for files played from CD, files played via line-out, etc.
I guess (and thats just a guess) that your speakers have a built-in amplifier (e.g., the speakers have a power-cord and an internal or external transformer) and thus what you hear on the speaker is amplified by the speakers. Thats why it sounds too weak when played unamplified (as it probably is on the phone line).
Cheers,
Sebastian

Hello everybody,
Is there a way I can capture the raw data from my web camera? I know how to acquire bitmaps with c# but the bitmaps are already processed data and I need the matrix of light intensities over the ccd/cmos array. Please guide me with c# code.
Thanks

You can't do that with any normal webcam, the processing is done by the webcam hardware before sending the data over to your computer.

my email is amill141@eq.edu.au
Eg:
XFX GeForce Fx 5200 PCI (128MB)
Memory Size: 128MB , Interface: PCI , Maximum resolution: 2046 x 1536 , Graphics Processor: nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

I don't know if you already bought a screen card but what MotherBoard do you have?
Make and Model if possible...

There is such a thing as apci graphics card, that is not pci-express. These cards generally ar not as popular and most shops will not stock them, but you can get them. You can probably get up to a 128MB card, maybe 256MB, but the downfall is lower graphics bandwidth. If you are not using it for very high performance, it should be fine, Gaming, Video editing, a PCI Graphics card should do the job.
Ask your local pc store if they can get them or browse online.
Tip: If you go into a shop and you don't see certificates, chances are, the person may not know what your talking about, always go to a trained professional.

Without knowing what the STOP code and error message is and what version of Windows you're using, there's nothing anyone can do to help you.

install windbg.exe (free downlload).
then use it to open the crash dump you will find in your system dir, or in your minidump dir.
note the offending .sys file it names as guilty, then identify which device this driver belongs to by searching the internet/looking at the properties of the sys file etc.
then bitch like hell to the company that sold you this pile of crap driver.

Hi,
I have this code but in Visual Basic.
You can compile this code to dll and use it to C++.
if you want this code send me an email :
Irangame@gmail.com
Good Luck.

take a look at:
ftp://ftp.dmares.com/pub/batch_files/DISKNO.C
it is something i have used. however, you have to compile it as a 16 bit DOS command line program. it should run under a Win98 DOS box.
currently it only works on IDE chaing 0 and 1. if you have plugin cards like Promise cards, it is not set to those addresses.
i got this code from a friend, don't totally understand it at this point. if you modify it to be more generic as to IDE drive number, i would appreciate the cleaned up code.
it won't compile or work on W2k or XP.
