    Gigabyte GA-K8NS

    If you were refering to the GA-K8NS-939, I have one. I just bought mine about 3 weeks ago along with a 3200+ 90nm 939 Winchester A64. I have 2 sticks of the Simple Technology 512mb pc3200 that Sam's Club has and haven't had a hiccup or problem since I put it all together. Full specs below...

    Audigy 2 Crackles when Raptor is Spinning

    This will probably fix it. If you have a 5 slot MB try it in the Middle or 3rd slot, a 4 or 6 slot may need to go up or down one. What it sounds like to me is the slot the card is in was sharing the IRQ that was also used for the SATA controller.

    Audigy Sound Blaster Live! 24-Bit 7.1

    I use a Audigy 2 Platinum currently and will be sampling the Audigy 4 shortly. As for ripping it out and making love to it, all I gotta say is "Rock On"....... :D

    6800GT or X800 Pro?

    I'd say give it a month or 2 after "Both" cards are available on store shelves and then make the decision. Last minute production changes could make notable differences in the performance of the Retail Cards. I am going to compare the 6800 Ultra to the XT PE before I buy.

    Is this a correct way to do a test boot?

    As long as memory is present and a monitor and PSU attached, Yes it should at least boot to a "insert bootable disk" message or the "Floppy disks fail" message or get you started on debugging parts.

    Buy RAM now, buy RAM now!!!

    Ram prices fluctuate monthly, sometimes daily. It's been this way for many years. My take on it is the chip manufacturers regulate the pricing as they see fit, by regulating how much product they release to the market (<- flip the sentence and it's still the same.) I can remember paying...

    Help me cool down my Barton 2800+

    SLK-800A should do ya fine. I have one on a 2500+ AQXEA 0331 oc'd on stock voltage to 3200+ with a 70mm AOC/EC Aluminum fan and AS Ceramique and my loaded temps are 87-89F after 4 hrs of DFBHD. No Load is around 80-83F with room temp at 72F.

    Cpu fan connector busted. Need advice.

    If it suddenly stopped working, I would think the HSF draws to much current for the on board controller. For a rewire tie the red fan wire to the yellow on a molex and the blk to a blk. The Fan should still work.

    Cpu fan connector busted. Need advice.

    A 3pin to Molex will do what ya need. If your HSF has a Delta Jet Turbine on it, a fanbus or speed controller will give you back the speed control.

    big uh-oh on mom's comp - won't boot!

    Take a bootable floppy that has FDISK.EXE on it (preferably made on a 98se/me computer), boot the computer from the floppy and run fdisk. View the partition information and make sure that the primary partition is still active, if not you will have to re-enable it. I have had that get reset on...

    .ogg file format?

    CoolEdit with the OGG plugin works fine here. Those ogg's are often used in game music tracks.

    with a new motherboard is reformatting a necessity?

    I'll second that. He went from an old N-Force to a Newer N-Force there shouldn't be a need to reinstall or do a repair install, all the drivers are the same. Going from a Via to N-Force is a whole other thing, or Intel to AMD and Vice Versa for that matter.

    Hotel Televisions

    Or they will have the spinner (tamper) sleeves on the cables that require a socket tool to get the cables on or off with. As for the channels, it is a normal set (mostly). The hotel may have the 3 and 4 channel removed or locked out from the normal channel list.
