    What do you think of this laptop deal?

    This one seems like the most comparable: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer_X5_8500_Notebook/ And while it does have a superior video card, it lacks a lot of the creature comforts of the lenovo - 3 year warranty, fingerprint reader, LED backlight, TurboCache, etc. That said, if those...

    What do you think of this laptop deal?

    So I'm thinking of getting a new personal laptop. The only modern laptop I have right now is the SpeedCircuit laptop, which I really only use for tuning. I'd like to have one for personal use, and I'm partial to IBM/Lenovos. There's a sale going on right now that I was thinking of taking...

    Upgrading my PC...

    I currently have a dual core AMD Opteron that I'm going to be upgrading to an Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor E8400. Obviously I'll need new components to go along with this. I'm going to need 2 gigs of RAM and a motherboard. Stability is my main concern. However, I like my boards...

    DVD ROM not reading DVD disc

    So get this...I turned off the machine for a couple of days. Booted it back up, used it for a few hours as normal. I had left the DVD in the drive. I eventually went to "My Computer", and noticed that the label and icon for the drive changed to reflect the contents of the DVD. I installed...

    DVD ROM not reading DVD disc

    You really think BOTH of my DVD drives are dead, despite the fact that they read other DVDs? BTW, I can't exactly go buy a new one. This is for work and we're in between fiscal years. So unless I'm buying it out of my own pocket...

    I'll see if I can boot off a live linux CD in one drive and read the DVD in the other. I'll report back shortly.

    DVD ROM not reading DVD disc

    Good thinking, but it's a data DVD (Aadobe Dreamweaver CS3 to be exact). Nothing happens. On the DVDRW, when I click on the drive to open it, I get a "please insert disc" error. If I put it in the DVD reader and click on it, it will "open" it, but the disc will have no contents...
