Lo all
like a lot of coder nerdies i'm pretty vacant when it comes to hardware.
Ive got a asus a7s8x-mx motherboard (running sempron 2800 CPU) which takes a 8x AGP card
the manual says its got to be a 1.5 Volt card and to only install a 1.5 volt card...
Can I get some suggestions for suitable 8x graphics cards which fit the 1.5 Volt requirements?

8x AGP cards are .8 volt. 4x AGP cards are 1.5 volt. 1x and 2x cards use 3.3 volt signaling. Recheck your specs, most 8x cards will run 4x as well but some motherboards that are 8x (.8v) will not run 4x mode.

k, heres the link to to the motherboard[^]
says "AGP 8X Technology
AGP8X (AGP 3.0) is the next generation VGA interface specification that enables enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12GB/s and twice as fast as AGP4X."
I looked at the sapphire 9600-xt and it seems nice...do you have a motherboard in mind you reckon would go well?

Bryce, I looked up the specs on the A7S8X-MS motherboard and most any 8x AGP card should work with it. The 9600 is a good price for performance card.

Too bad 2 9600 Pro were cooked in this board and 2 boards had their audio cooked twice by the cards. It really is an 8x AGP slot that requires a 1.5 volt card. The sticker over the AGP slot said so.

Beyond your compatibility requirement, what are your needs as far as graphics cards? There are a lot out there.

Hi!
Now I wanna sent 4 bytes data by calling DeviceIoControl() from my directshow application to my streaming minidriver.First,I call the CreateFile() to get a device handle,and the minidriver can receive a IRP_MJ_CREATE IRP,and the CreateFile() returns nonzero.But when the app runs to DeviceIoControl(),the minidriver does not recieve any SRB.The DeviveIoControl() returns zero,and GetlastError() returns 50,which says:"The request is not supposed."
I difined my own IOCTL command in my driver and app.
What causes the error 50 or if there is any other way to send data to steaming minidriver from directshow application?
Thanks for any help!

Does CreateFile return INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE?
Does your driver antry set a dispatch handler for DeviceIoControl?
Does you DeviceIoControl handler handle that IOCTL?
Is the buffer size correct for thst IOCTL?

Is it possible to get Raw Touch values from a USB microtouch (3M) touchscreen monitor?
Thanks...

Watch the USB traffic and read the device specifications.

About 3 months ago, I purchased a Netgear WGR614v6 Wireless G router; and have had nothing but problems. Depsite my continued posts on Netgear's site, and unanswered calls to their Tech Support, I thought I would post my woes here, in hopes someone might have a suggestion for me that I've yet to try (other than purchase a LinkSys router - which is what I should have done from the get go).
Here's the problem:
Anytime any computer connected to the router via wireless, attempts to copy a large number of files (to a Local share on the main PC to which the router is directly connected), the wireless on the router just dies. All the hard wired computers plugged directly into the router still have a connection, it's just the wireless that essentially "turns off". The only solution is to unplug the router and plug it back in, thereby "restarting" the router.
What I've tired (settings)
Originally I had the router set to Chanl. 11 with 64-bit WEP enabled. After a post to the Netgear fourms with this problem, their tech support suggested I switch to Chanl 1 and disable WEP.
Well, since I'm not about to run a wireless router without security, I changed to Chanl 1 and switched over to WPA encryption - still the same problem.
I can copy "smaller" files back-and-forth all day long, but if I attempt to copy a large number of files (e.g., 5+ gigs) - it will kill the wireless connection almost every single time.
Suggestions? (before I go out and purchase a LinkSys router)

That sounds like a physical problem with the router. I am trying to track down a similar problem with the same model v4 system. The router, however, never locks up -- I have been trying to establish if it is db strength or external influence or something internal. When transferring large files communication will be lost in the middle, unknown reason, but there is no need to reset the router, all physical functionality is maintained following the interrupt. I can start again easily within about 10 seconds without reset. However, it still kills the copy. I'll have to check here for answers in case they are related. Or we both toss our Netgear systems and go linksys.
If the unit is still under warrenty coverage I would hassle them about it, you paid for it, a locked up router should be their fault. Mine has never locked up, it runs unattented at the top of my bookshelf.

I have been bugging them about since day one, and they keep telling me that it must be some form of interference from another device ... blaa blaa blaa ... but I can lock the router up every time, just by copying a large number of files.
I am actually going to BestBuy to purchase a LinkSys router today; I will let you know what happens with that one ... although I suspect it will work just fine.

I am no networking genius... but I would think that mine "could be" interferance, the router stays working, all the hardware is working after the "cut off". Interference from another device should interrupt the signal, but leave the hardware functioning, just like mine. But yours is locking up the router, that sounds like hardware.

Well, I purchased a LinkSys Wireless G router lastnight and set it up using the same "defaults" that I had the Netgear router configured under. After several hours use, and copying large numbers of files back<->forth from my server to various PCs (wired and wireless) not a single glitch.
So ... having done that, and said that, a call to Netgear is in order ...
Nothing like owning a $30 wireless paperweight ...

You can tell them they lost two customers.... I guess this is my next purchase too.

Well, I went more bizarre in my solution.... The machine I do the longest copies from is my DVR on a wifi ethernet bridge... so I am picking up a pair of electric outlet bridges to see if I can manage 1/3 megabit through the walls... they claim it will do 11 megabit, most reviews say 6 realistically, that's all still more than I need.
and surprise... LinkSys, bypass the wifi for anything other than handheld and work laptops which so far have not been a problem. Maybe swap the wifi out come tax season.
