No I don't think he does. The card should fit. If I remember correctly NO mass market cards r agp pro. That's just for the professionals. A standard agp should plug into it just fine.

Problem solved! :) I pulled out the tb from my system, and plopped it into the new one. Power'd up... it booted! So I'm thinking... okay the cpu came doa. It happens, will just have to return it for replacement, but I decide to try and plop it back in and see what happens. So I do, power up...it boo...

Swapped vid card. No go. Took the mobo out, and was checking once again to make sure the heatsink was seated properly. It was. However I noticed something when leaning over it. I could c pins (not the whole pin, but some of them on one side. The cpu wasn't seated properly (I didn't do that... cpu ca...

By pull the mobo out, I ment out of this one, so I can pull the cpu out of it and try a swap. I re-seated the ram module in 2 differant slots a few times... so I think that's set okay. I suppose there could be a incompatiblility though, but would think one of the 3 would have worked. The vid card I ...

Ya, I have a geforce 2 gts in this system, and a old number 9 pci 2der in really old system. The one in the one being tryed at moment is a creative tnt2 that was in old system. I will try swapping that out first. If that doesn't work... out comes my mobo again I guess :( And if it winds up being the...

Hey everyone, I'm puttin together a computer for my mother. I've got everything in... go to power up... natta. Fans spin, leds come on... but notta. No beeps no buzzes, natta. It's a TB 1200 ( I have the fsb set to 100), and a ESC k7vza mobo 512 pc133 generic ram. I know nothing special, but it's no...

I just build my own system myself. First group up build for me. One thing I did, was pick up a anti-static kit at radio shack with the mat + wrist strap. Not essential if u ground urself but I found the cheap peace of mind nice, specially living with three static machine dogs.

Just finished gettin the os installed and doing a little bit of playing...lol. Used fat32. I might do dual boot with win9x. I know I will be puttin linux on eventually (debain) so I left a bit of room unpartitioned. If I have any progs that aren't liking running in w2k, will add a 9x partion too. Li...

Hey everyone, My os just got in, and I have a question before setting it up, for partitioning. I'm gonna want a 4gb partiion for the os, then a partion for programs, a empty partion for linux, and possibly a partion for win9x. I have a quesiton. Can win9x read the file format of win2k? Does win2k us...

Woohoo. Lol. I just got my system back together after removing the heatsink and lapping, and reapplying a thinner layer of asII. 43C with ambient of 25C now sittin in bios :) Yay! Lol. Hotter day, about a 10C degree drop. Woohoo! And Gig7dxr from what I was reading over on gigabytes board at amdmb s...

I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't think so. I think it would have to be pop. They would probably need seperate functions for each free http e-mail account if they where to allow it, and I don't think they would go through the trouble. Pop is easy, has a std interface. No such luck with http(emai...

Thanks to all. I'ved decided I'll probably remove the mb, for the simple reason that I can get a better angle to make sure get a nice thin coat of as2, and make sure the hsf is sitting correctly. And have decided to try it again, and while i have it out, to lap the hs as well. And thanks for the com...

Ya, I'm using artic silver II thermal compound. I don't think to much... but I don't know. I couldn't see the pink of the cpu core, and try'd to get it as flat as possible, but was some little 'waves'. Should the coat be semi-transperant thin? I'm not sure if I coul dhave used less, and not gotten p...

hey everyone, First off, I got it together... woohoo... and run some diagnostic tests off a boot disk, everything seems to bet okay, BUT I do have a question. The cpu seems to be running hot. first off, here's the system..... TB 133GHZ cpu (not oc'd right now) Gigabyte 7DXR MB GlobalWin CAK38 cooler...

Non overclocked. I will be overclocking but not intill I burn in and test everything out.
