Hardware / Which harddrive should I use with this motherboard
« on: June 07, 2005, 07:09:05 PM »
I have an ASUS A7V8X-X Motherboard(Link) and I'm looking to get a new harddrive. Looks like to me I can only have a ATA/133 or ATA/100 harddrive.
So I was looking around and I think these are the two best ones for the money/size/speed. What do ya'll think? Which one is better? Or maybe there is even a different one I haven't seen yet that ya'll suggest.
First harddrive
Second harddrive
Also, is there a big difference or no difference at all between ATA/100 and ATA/133 harddrives?
This will be a gaming computer primarly, so keep that in mind. Thanks for the help.

Tech Clinic / My very hijacked computer
« on: February 12, 2005, 06:19:43 AM »
I worked on it a little myself and ran an anti-virus and got rid of the explorer error pop up box. I want to uninstall the google toolbar as I don't think that's the newest one anyways, but I don't know how to as when I go to add/remove programs, google isn't on there. But there is a folder in the program files that only has 1 file in it, and that is Googletoolbar1.dll Should I delete that and let hijack this fix everything google, then update to the newest one? Also, why am I loading at 640x480 and only with 18 colors? I know this is an old computer, but it used to run on 800x600 and 32 bit colors, and everytime I try to fix it and hit reply, it wants me to restart and when I restart it doesn't change. And why am I being asked to log in everytime I load windows? That didn't happen before either, how do I fix that? So that's the only probs I have right now.

Tech Clinic / My very hijacked computer
« on: February 12, 2005, 12:21:26 AM »
Hiya, normally I don't have any problems, but I just started using this old machine again and I thought I had it properly protected from these kind of attacks, but looks like I forgot to protect it, whoops. So anyways here's the problem I'm getting now. I'm getting an 'Explorer' error when I first boot up to desktop, I get it in safe mode too. Doesn't say what caused it though, just explorer. And here is my hijack this. This is after running ad-aware SE and it being updated.
Seems like everytime I reboot, they come back. What should I do?
Oh, and I'm running 98SE.
