I've had my G5, for a while now and unfortunately one of my mouse feet fell off after having it in my bag for such a long time. I searched out a number of places for new mouse feet and was recommended to Corepads and Slicksurf. Well Corepads hasn't restocked anyone in the US in what seems like...

So, here is my situation. I have a desktop and a laptop on my home network. I take my laptop to work every day, but I also do a lot of work on my desktop when I come home. I want to set up a secure Network Share between the two of them, none of this "just share the folder and make sure they are...

I have a stock X1900XT 512 and when I minimize out of a game there is a very loud, sharp crack from my speakers as soon as the screen gets to 2D mode. It is rather annoying. Also, when minimizing World of Warcraft, upon reopening the window there are discolored bands around the edge of my...

I am running a Saphire X1900XT 512MB and it ranges from 43C idle to 76C load. This thing heats my room up horribly and I am worried it is slowly burning up. I wish there was a decent aftermarket cooling solution, but I have yet to find one.

I understand the purpose behind doing a 24 hour burn in, but I have no idea what software utilities to use for this. I have never actually conducted a burn in so I would appreciate any links, advice, or helpful hints as I prepare to to put this gear together. Thanks.

I want functionality for the front bay, I like the EAX, mixer, surround sound options. Honestly really bummed for spending 150 bucks on a soundcard that has as many bells and whistles as my onboard.

I put on a fresh install of xp, and downloaded the drivers from the website. No problems yet, but the problem is now I can't use any of the software cause it is all in the bundle on those CD's. I don't know if I want to risk it (again), if it gives me the same errors I would have to do yet...

I have heard that SP2 can really give you a hassle ith the new 64bit cpu's. Any truth in this? Should I go ahead and install SP2?

Building my new box today, got everything up and running. Clean install of XP, did Window's updates, nVidia display and chipset updates, and finally moved on to my Audigy 2 Platinum ZS. I started with the CD that was included with Drivers and Application software. I installed the dirvers...
