XP Pro and Win7 Ultimate Edition.

I would really love to get Windows 7 talking to Windows XP sometime soon and if it doesn't, I can see LAN Parties getting awkward fast.

I am currently having a problem trying to use Windows 7's hideously difficult network interface. I am having trouble getting my Windows 7 box and XP box to share files across the network, I have them set up on the same Workgroup but that does not seem to be helping. Windows 7 cannot ping XP and...

Ah, overlooked those specs. I did not realise that 20+4 was just quoting backwards compatibility with older standards. Thanks for the info! So I assume if the specs say: 1 x 20+4 motherboard connector 1 x 4pin CPU connector then I can use both +4's to make a +8?

I have been looking at some i5 motherboards for a friend's new build and I noticed all the Mobo's I find for i5's all have 24+8 ATX pins. However, the only PSU's I can find are 20+4's. Would it be possible to use a 20+4 for the 24+8 ATX motherboards? If not, can someone spec me a PSU to go...

Had an idea for something a little different...

Seriously, there needs to be one of Barry imposed on one of Catherine Tates "Gingers for Justice" sketches. That would be awesome, sadly, I have the photoshopping skills of Dave.

I have some interest in upgrading my sound card as beings I have to use splitters and adapters to plug my headphones in (which I think would reduce quality) and I have been having mic problems with it. so I am not sure if there is a fault with the sound card, the adapter jack (1.5mm-3.5mm) or...

I am well aware that the majority of computer hardware really has rocketed in the past 20 years. I was just wondering if Sound Cards have also been getting better as fast. The reason I ask is I own a Game Theatre XP Sound Card and has served me well for the past 5 years. However, I am...

Thanks. Worked like a charm.

I have not bothered updating my BIOS yet, not till my system is fully up and running fine. I would expect this board to have many Betas, due to how new it is (even then, this board is quite impressive). I still have the BIOS that it came with, so I am not sure which is newest or best.

Recently spent £800 on this nice i7 system and an OCUK value GTX260 (Was shocked when it came out the box, was quite a beastie). Only problem is, I cannot figure out how to disable onboard sound and enable my sound card through the BIOS. Finally got my system stablish (You get the odd hiccup)...

This was actually a simple problem. When I found my motherboard information I did some research on my motherboard (DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR) and came across a problem on another site using the same motherboard. I read it to find out that USB devices cause problems on PC's booting up. I removed my...

Thanks for the help and quick replies, will try both of your suggestions. I will post again with results.

I cannot give full detailed specs but heres the basic specs: DFI Lanparty motherboard (cant remember exactly what type, lost the packaging) Nvidia Geforce 7800GTX AMD Dual-Core Opteron 175 Game Theatre XP soundcard and the only thing thats different from my system before my series of formats was...

Well over the past 3 weeks, I have formatted my computer several times trying to upgrade to XP. I had a stable installation until recently when I tried installing Microsoft Framework 3. I rebooted PC afterwords, now whenever I try to start PC up, It will not get past POST. It loads the...
