im sure some ecomnics major somewhere figured out that at 35$ (or more) a year membership fee, that most people, probably 80% or more never even know about the return policy and 10-15% of those that do never get Around to returning it, and those that do, they make thier money on a memeber ship...
its IN store only
I did notice the minolta 1400W is out... but looks worse than the 1350 (1200x600 only, 17ppm, but had USB 2 :P
I ended up bringing mine back - got an extra 20% off since it was open :)

Staples taped it up and sold it as new!!!
:mad: :eek:
I wrote the CS, i better get some satisfaction!
its a foxconn - not sure of the model #
I dont really see anything for FSB, only ram speed and CPU speed
I had been Oc'ing it by 15% or something and it ran fine, but then it started freezing (i think its a voltage supply problem, OOOLDD house) so i set back to default but now its @ 600mhz FSB...
My g/fs computer that i built was freezing and halting randomly, and after looking at it, i noticed something weird
The system runs at (this is what it says in the bios) "FSB + 33Mhz"
Anyone ever seen that before?
Ive tried clocking it at lower speeds, being that its a 5.53 celeron, It always...
god damn BB, they were sold out, so under the store availability i saw they were local

BB.com
umm where?
BB.com
lemme check
comes back and says that the in store price doesnt match because the store is...
So i thought it was a HD problem
i ran the dell checker and the memory seems fine, even swapping out the chips for others doesnt seem to help
Could this be a windows problem or is this something strickly hardware?
(dell insp.8600)
edit : forgot 0x00000067
had a problem with a corrupted...
So my external 250gb HD decided to be weird today
I had to reset because CS:S lock up on load. nothing to odd, usually its in game, not loading that it locks but i figured w/e
restarted and ran CS:S for a while np
then went to start my Mp3s and nothing would play... hmm
go to folders...
So im trying to get MSinfo32 to run, and in doing so discover ive someone uninstalled, or never installed Help + Support service on my XP SP 2 desktop - ok fine, i get a reg file to implement it
now its on the list of services with startup as automatic, but says " Could not start Help and...
I got an upgrade and dont have room for this anymore!
Its a BFG 5700 Ultra, about a year old, and runs great! ~30Fps steady @ 1680x1050 in CS:S and d3, Call of duty peaks @ 80fps and holds
Card runs strong, and cooler keeps the temps Low, built with AS5 so the chip is under 50C with full load...
ive noticed this for a while, and ive just turned off the second monitor, right click on desktop, prop, and unclick expand windows..
its easy and helps
the other thing that hurts is 2 resolutions, the more info it has to render the worse it is, ie 1680x1050 + 1600x1200 will be a lot better...
Trying to make CS:S more stable i was going to send VALVe my msinfo32.nfo, but i cant get it to load :(
checking google, it seems i need "help and support" service running, but I dont even SEE it in my services, can you not install it/disable the service from even showing?
Im running XP SP 2...
timings are 2.5-4-4-8 - bout as loose as i can go, its Corsair XMS c2 2.0-3-3-6 stock
i set it to 1.6v but it was saying it was 1.65 in cpuz, it was stable for 8 hours in prime 95 @ 2.989ghz with a 5:4 divider, so i was only getting 172mhz on the memory, memory was set to 2.75v AGP @ stock...
CPU-Z is what im reading from, thats not acurate?
Figured that was pretty good, or the asus probe which tells me the currenty v-core voltage, which happens to be the same as Cpu-z
Im trying to get my 2.6C to get a little more boost out of her, and it seems like everything i do i hit a wall around 3.25 with 5:4 settings. I thought more voltage might help, but even putting the voltage @ 1.55 (runs around 1.504-1.533 normally) i cant hit the same speed i get when i set the...
Ive got a semi-dilema, i can hit about 3.33 on my 2.6ghz p4, stable, much higher and it just wont boot :P thermal right is doing her ok, just doesnt like >3.4
So my memory on the other hand can hit ~225, which @ 5:4 would put me around 3.6 which would rock but not boot :( so @ 1:1 i can run @...
wear level is 0 so i dunno, i just think that the battery isnt really getting that the low voltage is a lot lower than it needs so it goes to ~15% fine, then drops in like 3 minutes from there
I discharged it with Hot CPU and then just let it do some random stuff till it turned off, now im...
I have a dell i8600 and the battery managment stinks
between like 15% and 2% i have about 10 minutes, and from 15-100 i get about 2 hours, my old ibm was better, would at least last to 0, usually sit at 0 for a while, and although thats not better id like a medium
Is there a program that will...
got mine @ Circuit city after they price matched a low BB @ 239$ - and STILL gave me the 30$ mir
250 out the door with 30$ coming back
nice - just wish it Oc'ed better
looking at it in notepad it looked like a profile for powersupport, different settings with opions, if you want i can post it here It was all in Hex though, but there was a few schemes that i recognized
always on.. presentation, max battery
i can post it if someone needs it
whats a good program to test wireless/ stress it
I ask because i had a set of drivers for my 2200b/g and they updated them and i want to see if they are as stable
they cut out the other day but i dont know if that was windows or the drivers
theres also a new "stickyness" option which at home...
Need one cause i dont want to carry a usb bt adaptor around but 50$ on ebay is to steep to sway me from using it as is :P
anyone got one for 30-40$ shipped, less even :D
haha 24 pipes, i think im on 8 now lol 3X increase, oh man =D
ill wait for an AGP - dont have any money right now anyway, but i do want to get it soon before its replaced again lol
I wasnt sure if theyd make it though, heard the 6800 was the last AGP, i guess ill have to wait and find out, or...
ive got a 478 2.6c and want to get a 7800XTC but i need PCI-e but i dont think i need to upgrade EVERYTHING yet (MB, CPU, RAM AND Video)
So is there one that will take as much of what i have already without getting killed?
i have pc3200 DDR ram, 2.6C @ 3.25 478 P4 and AGP 5700U
I could sell...
I was bound and determined to wait till the new gpus came out to get one, rather than getting it when the prices are low and then seeing my lovely purchase replaced with the new model, like i have happen all the time (i8600 for example..)
SO i wait, and now its out, and im wondering if getting...
My laptop had a bit of a mishap and well ended up having to repair the install of the OS to get power management back, but now its only partially there.
under power options i can ONLY select home/desk profile and cant create anything new, and sleep mode only enters s1 mode, (cpu stopped, vid...
ok, after reading a bunch I figured out that teh 915 has to be there for this to work really... i have a i855PM chipset :(
I heard someone say this might work on this chipset, depending on manf. date and such, but that the pins are different.
which pins and how is it wired, anyone know?
Does this trick work with ALL 400fbs dothans? (i have a i8600 1.6 - 400mhz FSB..dont wanna have to buy a new one ;)
OR do i have to have a 533 FSB motherboard?
hehe this is true
yeah i got 3.34 to boot and ran all day, but CS:S crashed and now i cant get it to boot at those settings anymore, so im back to 3.31, its only 30mhz less, what is that 1% lol
What agp/pci should i be running, i have it set to 80/40, but sometimes i get weird FPS, like it...
Ok, so why is that when i set the FSB @ 257, witha 5:4 divider, and set the cpu @ 1.585v, when i look @ Asus monitor or CPU-z it shows 1.6845v??
Im really trying to hit 262 (3.4ghz, i know 60mhz wont make a difference but its nicer than 3.34, and its not That far away, and so it shouldnt be...
