    Decent office pc - comments please

    I think I'm gonna go Dell then. It looks great. Can I buy another 512 DIMM from newegg and have both working together?

    Decent office pc - comments please

    I'm considering the Dell - that server looks good. Is there any bloatware installed, and would there be anything unusual since it is a server? Any idea why it is so cheap?

    Quick compatibility question

    Oh, ok - the speed on the mobo doesn't have to match the RAM speed. Yeah, it's an old mobo - it even has an agp and pci-e slot because pci-e was very new at the time. One more question - Do I have to manually underclock the RAM?

    Quick compatibility question

    Would this A-DATA 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 work with my Gigabyte GA-8I915P Duo-A mobo? I'm confused by the RAM speeds on the mobo and the A-Data.

    We have XP and a 19'' lcd, so that's covered. Thanks for the the responses.

    Decent office pc - comments please

    I'm building my father a new pc for his office. He's an accountant, so the heaviest load on the computer will come from Quickbooks and Excel (no games, no movies). I thought it would be easiest to buy a barebone case and mobo, and then to add on the rest. I'm looking to spend less than $300...

    Looking to upgrade to mid-range

    Thanks for the responses. I have an Nvidia GeForce PCX 5900 and a 3.0 Ghz Intel P4 530, so I am looking for a PCI express card. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8I915P which has a PCI express slot and an optional AGP slot, but I don't think it would be advantageous to use AGP. I noticed this...

    Looking to upgrade to mid-range

    I'm looking for a video card priced around $100. The card I have now is a GeForce FX 5900, so anything priced around $100 would be a step up, right? Two cards I have in mind are the GeForce 8600GT (which is unfortunately out of stock) and the Radeon HD 2600XT. I am open to suggestions...

    Opinions wanted on this Dell PC

    Yeah, I know its not worth $1000.00; I wouldn't dream of buying this pc if it didn't come with a 40 % DISCOUNT! Anyway, the deals over and he didn't buy - he was too busy during tax season. (Sucks for me too - I was gonna get the monitor) Thanks for the input anyways. Joel

    Opinions wanted on this Dell PC

    Yeah, he wants a good deal, and he likes Dell. Plus, shipping is included. That celeron sounds nice too, but he probably wants something a little more powerful. BTW, thanks for the input.

    Opinions wanted on this Dell PC

    Hello, I need to buy a new PC for my father, who is an accountant. He seems to 'trust' Dell, if only because they advertise the most in our area. Anyways, I noticed the 40% off deals going on right now for desktop pcs and wanted to know if I picked a good deal. Here are the specs: Dell...

    New build -> trouble shooting -> no power

    I had a problem like this too - the solution was really obvious: my power button (the one on the case) wasn't plugged in on the mobo. Make sure that you connect all the front panel leds to their appropriate spots on the motherboard.

    More Sound Driver Problems

    I don't think that Windows is even detecting my onboard sound hardware; it always prompts me to install a raid device, which I'm too lazy to do, but it hasn't prompted me to install anything for my onboard sound.... Joel Just some more info - when I open device manager, I get an error...
