| 117783 | 2003-02-02 23:00:00 | Jams, The “Oldies” used to deliberately leave out the RAM on initial Power-On to make sure that the BIOS was on the ball and the speaker was connected and working OK. If they got the appropriate response from the BIOS they would carry on. These days they seem to plug everything in and bingo it works. If it doesn’t, then it’s back to square one. I guess it gets down to the faith you have in the product your assembling. Bottom line is you should get some response from the BIOS without any RAM. |

| 117785 | 2003-02-03 07:40:00 | Was hunting out beep codes a couple of days ago. Came across Hardware Central which seems to list the beep codes nicely: www.hardwarecentral.com | Heather P (163) | ||
| 117786 | 2003-02-03 19:45:00 | Well thanks everybody for your help - the 8 beeps told me my video card was dead :( so now I'm searching for a new one... So can anyone tell me what would be better to spend my money on: GeForce 2 or GeForce 4 (in the $100-$200 range)? Mike. |

| 117788 | 2003-02-03 20:09:00 | Thanks Jams, but I don't need the prices (already been to Pricespy). I want to know which would be better to buy, a GeForce2 or 4? I've heard that it's a waste of money spending the extra for the 4 when the 2 would do fine, so I want to know people's opinions on this :) Mike. |

| 117789 | 2003-02-04 00:08:00 | Depends on which model and what you're gonna use it for. GF4 supports dual-monitor, GF2 doesn't to quite the same extent. |
