Re: Trying to get around a broken sound card on my laptop

That part is just a cable, not a device capable of creating sound. You need to get a USB Sound Card that then can be connected to your speakers.

Re: Vista SP 1

I am in Australia, and one of my laptops, a Dell Inspiron 1720, came up with the Vista Service Pack 1 as soon as it was released. Downloaded and installed it fine. I kept checking the other Vista laptop, an Asus W7J, and it did not list the Service Pack as any sort of update till yesterday - when it...

Some Java DLLs will not recognise a P4, and just error out. This includes some Oracle install programs and Symantec Java runtimes. Refer the Intel website for info.

I consider a 33% overclock pretty darn reasonable, and with the exception of the 845D chipset, everything else runs to spec. I am sure that it will go higher with more voltage/cooling - but that's for the extremists - I am just happy to get something for nothing... P.S. I think the problem with the ...

It was around 30 deg. C in the house last night, and I ran Prime95 torture for 3 hours. The CPU temp varied between 53 and 55 deg. C, but I had no errors. Then this morning it was 22 deg., and the board beeped and locked on first startup... WTH? But I get no errors running 133FSB/266 CAS-2.. Board i...

It's a really hot day today(100F), but the system is working fine at 133FSB, 2018 MHz, with mem at 266 CAS 2. It seems to have settled down nicely. The problems I was having seemed to be like the documented problems with the 8IRXP on Google - but they have gone away.

The 8IRX and 8IRXP both set the PCI & AGP busses back to spec when you hit 133 FSB. They also have other dividers that can get you close to spec at other FSBs.
I have run my 1.60A at 133 on an 8IRX, but had some stability issues that I need to track down, but the PCI and AGP speeds were normal.
