    need a new mobo for prescott

    I was able to trade out my old 2.0 ghz P4 for a 2.8 Ghz P4 with a prescott core. Unfortunatly my current motherboard (Biostar P4VTB) will not support prescott processors, and it is cheaper to buy a new motherboard then buy a new processor that will work with my current rig. I have found a few...

    Need help, no POST after CPU upgrade

    I figured it would probably be worth it to pick up a new motherboard. So much hastle all because my current board won't support prescott. What boards would you reccomend I look into ? Not looking to spend a ton, but i'd like to have something nice that is similar to my current board. Thanks...

    Need help, no POST after CPU upgrade

    Yeah, it's 1M so it must be a prescott. Since I got the processor for free and it's a pretty considerable upgrade from a 2.0 Ghz P4, would it be worth it to upgrade my motherboard to one that does support prescott? The mobo I have in there right now is still pretty new so it's kind of a shame...

    Need help, no POST after CPU upgrade

    I'm not sure it's prescott. It came out of a Dell Optiplex 170L and I don't see any markings on the chip itself suggesting it is a Prescott core. Would it say on the chip somewhere? In the case that it is a prescott core that my motherboard doesn't support, would it be worth it to upgrade the...

    Need help, no POST after CPU upgrade

    Well, I updated the bios to the most recent one, and whenever I have the new processor in there it still doesn't start up. Does the exact same thing. Anybody have any ideas?

    Need help, no POST after CPU upgrade

    Well, I was able to get a p4 2.8 ghz processor to trade out with my p4 2.0 ghz processor. I took out the old one, installed the new processor, snaped on the heatsink and everything and then when I go to boot up I get no POST beep or any beeps at all for that matter. Just to rule out other...

    Using a server to tunnle bittorrent around a NAT

    Yeah, I figured it was a long shot, but it could be a worth while project if I could get something to work like bittorrent. I'm tempted to just set up a box at home and use it to download shit, then send it to school from that box. There's still a good chance that would be faster then the...

    gaming router + long range through walls

    I've got a linksys 802.11g (WRT54G) wireless router that works great. If you're worried about signal strength, you could always run linux on it and boost the signal strength from the default of 24 up to about 89 I think. Also, if you really got crazy you could always build a directional...

    Using a server to tunnle bittorrent around a NAT

    I would hardly think it's against the rules. I'm not breaking any school regulations, i'm just wondering how to get around the NAT so bittorrent works. It's not like the school blocks it's traffic, it's just that the NAT's screw everything up so it's extremely difficult to find somebody who...

    Laptop does not boot

    How far does it get into the boot process, just lighting up the caps / num lock keys or does the screen ever turn on? Do you hear anything other then it starting (beeps) ?

    Is this a good monitor

    Looks like a pretty good moniter for the price. Like they mentioned, the 25ms response time is a little high, but unless you're doing alot of gaming you aren't going to really notice it much.

    Using a server to tunnle bittorrent around a NAT

    Here at my school we have NAT's setup that really hinder bittorrent traffic. From what I understand so far, I can initiate connections to other people, but when somebody else tries to connect to me behind the NAT, they can't b/c the router will ignore it. If I had control of the router I would...

    More slower ram or less faster ram?

    I have a strange ram situation for the time being, one 512 Mb stick of PC 2700 and a 256 Mb stick of PC 2100 . Which would work better for a game like half life 2, just 512 of PC 2700 or more ram (768 Mb) running at PC 2100? Would I even notice much difference?

    the official L90D+ thread

    If there is any backlight bleeding on the top or the bottom I don't really see it at all. The only thing that I see is the viewing angle (vertical) , but it's not bad at all.
