    thanks. I'm kinda curious what your logic was between the different processors and why this one. You must be busy... that was the hard part for me.

    Could someone suggesst a CPU/MB combo for heavy multitask computer? : sorta economica

    That's fine...I don't need something that silent. I have a hard-drive for the time being but will upgrade to an SSD in the future. If you'd like to suggest one 'outside' of the price point be my guest. I'd like to do ssd and have stayed away from buying because I've been reading all the bad...

    WTB: Looking for a new CPU/MB combo < ~200$. Long time gone from here:

    I'll try to keep this short. I'm hoping someone here could fill me in on what's been going on since I last logged onto this site. I had a MB go bad last year for the 3rd time and have been using my laptop for my work hooked up to 2 monitors. I don't game (at all). But I do heavily multitask...

    How are the reviews on these 1.5 tb Western Digital hard Drives?

    How long have these things been out? I've had the 1tb drives for about a year now with no problem. Looking to expand to a couple more terrabytes and was wondering if these things are stable.

    Have a questions about my Win. server 2008 box.

    I've had the server about a year now and it's just been humming along nicely. No problems at all. However, recently I want it to start taking more of the workload from my other machines and have been dicking around with it. What I want to do but don't know how to do is setup a file server...

    Your not going to like me... WHS questions: some more!

    Yea, I'd like to just build a NAS and a Home Server to backup everything but don't want 2 different computers sucking up power. I'm figuring WHS is going to do everything I need. I'm a bit at a loss to know what to do with this Perc 5/i card I have. :rofl: I really don't need it if I am not...

    Your not going to like me... WHS questions: some more!

    This is a good question and it seems it doesn't have a real answer. It is mostly up to how you want your network to be used and how secure you want your data. I've thought about building a NAS but I've yet to look up what read/write times to them are. I want to stream video to several...

    I know this has been beaten to death. Some say a sticky isn't needed. Hmm... okay. :mad: I've spent the morning reading through all the threads here and while it's probably been mentioned it hasn't been mentioned in wording I understand. I understand how WHS backs up data using...

    Why? Is this even an even trade?

    Long story short. Athlon 64 2.4ghz Venice Socket 754 for an AMD 3500+ socket 939? Is that an even trade? I'll prob. go ahead as I can use the 3500+ but my question is why would someone want to trade an older chip for a newer? (besides the obvious reason that he might have a MB he can use...

    Looking to spend 500+$ on a 12' laptop

    There are many reasons. I have no reason to get a 15 inch. I'd like a 12' widescreen. That will serve my purpose better and the lappy will be much more portable.

    Looking to spend 500+$ on a 12' laptop

    I've been searching for about 2+ months now. I started off looking for something in the 200$ range but considering the technology and the price it's just more economical to get something in the 500 - 600$ range. I've searched out many many computers. I've looked at the bb, staples, and cc...
