Problem description: For a while I've been using my TV as an external display for my laptop. The actual connection uses VGA and I would go into Windows Mobility Center to activate the TV display. From the Windows Mobility Center you can also pull up the display settings (screen resolution...

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ MSI nForce 3 Neo2 Platinum 2x 512MB RAM Crucial Ballistix (earlier reported as 2x 1GB) BFG Geforce 6800GT SB Audigy 2 ZS Samsung 120GB HDD Windows XP Got all the parts around January 2005.

Actually it's two sticks of 512, and the long series of numbers on the sticker ends in 5V.

Hi, recently some of my applications have had wonky behavior, and whenever a game crashes it gives me an error message that I have traced to faulty memory. So far I've used disk defragmenter, scandisk, reinstalled the game(s), checked for viruses, and finally ran Windows Memory Diagnostic which...

In Halo 3 I figure the Elites are going to fight alongside humans, leaving the forces of Earth to fight only the members of the New Covenant - Brutes, Jackals, and Drones. The most boring enemies. Halo will not be the same if you can no longer kill sleeping Grunts and Elites D-;

Using a Samsung 120GB SATA internal harddrive and the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray asks me if I want to remove it..obviously I don't. I know the easy way to get rid of it is to go into the Tray Options and permanently hide it, but I also use it for my iPod among other things so...

Antec Sonata, Samsung SATA drive. The removable tray has holes on the side and rubber grommets were the harddrive would be. The harddrive has three holes on each side, only one of which will align properly with the tray at any time. To top it off, the screws Samsung included are too big to...

Installing the RAM (2x512) and I noticed the board manual says the max speed for double-sided memory in green slots 1 and 3 (Channels A) is DDR333. It also says that RAM is most stable when you put all of your modules in Channel A first. Clearly I want DDR400 so do I put the modules in 1 and 2?

Lucky bastard, I got all the new parts for my rig on Friday and planned on going to Best Buy to pick up the BFG6800GT with my gift certificates from Christmas and they were out of stock - in fact, there are only like ten in the entire state. Now I have to wait a week for it to get here (I...

Heh, you're in Tampa too. Care to hook a brother up? ;)

I'm talking about the key that is used to lock and unlock the hinged door in front of the CD drives and the side panel. The manual says the key is in a plastic bag in the box, but it isn't there. Well, the plastic bag is, but the only thing inside is the manual. Am I retarded?

When you go here to download Azureus (Java-based BitTorrent application, really good) it lists a specific download link for 32-bit Windows: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=84122&package_id=88270 On Windows 64-bit Edition, which one would work?

First off, I'm getting an AMD64 3500+ s939, but NewEgg has three different listings for apparently the same product (the only real difference I see is the .13/90nm thing): AMD Athlon 64 3500+, Socket 939, 512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Processor - OEM AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 512K, L2 Cache, Socket 939...
