    HP Laptop Help

    Thank you. Yes, I know its the mobo. The charging circuit went bad. But the laptop works fine off wall power. And if the battery was charged, it would work off the battery. All I want to do is charge the battery. I'm not dumping another $300+ into an HP product, their customer service...

    HP Laptop Help

    Wondering is anyone can assist with this. I have an HP Pavilion dv7t-1200 CTO laptop. The Laptop itself is nice, HP sucks. It had to go back to them 1 month after purchase, and again 4 months later. Shortly after the warranty expired, the battery stopped charging. The issue is that the...

    MoBo Recommendation Help

    If the game can run within a 64-bit OS, go with the 8 gig of RAM, otherwise go with 2 or 4 gigs. And the Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 is more "tweakable" than the Quad. Thanks for all your help.

    Maximus Formula CPU and Memory Recommendation

    MoBo Recommendation Help

    I already ordered the MB - SE version. I'm trying to find the POWERCOLOR AX3870 but I may as well be looking for Osama, this is no where to be found in stock. So I figured I'd move on the CPU and memory. The CPU model number in the prior thread post is the Intel Core 2 Duo E6550, which...

    MoBo Recommendation Help

    Thank you for your responses and the information provided. After doing more reading, it seems a Crossfire solution is inherently more stable as compared to SLI, for a dual graphic card solution. Does anyone have an opinion/experience with Crossfire? As my son is big into gaming, I think a...

    MoBo Recommendation Help

    What would be an applicable application for dual GFX? My son had this (dual gfx) in mind, he also had his eye on something along the lines of a EVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800GTX. Now, I'm not that old, and I have a long (20 year +) tech background in application software on Wall Street...

    MoBo Recommendation Help

    With the new machine, I will install a new video card (the Albatron stays in the Abit machine). So I am not tied to the Albatron. Thanks for your help, Phil
