I was able to trade out my old 2.0 ghz P4 for a 2.8 Ghz P4 with a prescott core. Unfortunatly my current motherboard (Biostar P4VTB) will not support prescott processors, and it is cheaper to buy a new motherboard then buy a new processor that will work with my current rig. I have found a few...

I figured it would probably be worth it to pick up a new motherboard. So much hastle all because my current board won't support prescott. What boards would you reccomend I look into ? Not looking to spend a ton, but i'd like to have something nice that is similar to my current board. Thanks...

Yeah, it's 1M so it must be a prescott. Since I got the processor for free and it's a pretty considerable upgrade from a 2.0 Ghz P4, would it be worth it to upgrade my motherboard to one that does support prescott? The mobo I have in there right now is still pretty new so it's kind of a shame...

I'm not sure it's prescott. It came out of a Dell Optiplex 170L and I don't see any markings on the chip itself suggesting it is a Prescott core. Would it say on the chip somewhere? In the case that it is a prescott core that my motherboard doesn't support, would it be worth it to upgrade the...

Well, I updated the bios to the most recent one, and whenever I have the new processor in there it still doesn't start up. Does the exact same thing. Anybody have any ideas?

Well, I was able to get a p4 2.8 ghz processor to trade out with my p4 2.0 ghz processor. I took out the old one, installed the new processor, snaped on the heatsink and everything and then when I go to boot up I get no POST beep or any beeps at all for that matter. Just to rule out other...

Yeah, I figured it was a long shot, but it could be a worth while project if I could get something to work like bittorrent. I'm tempted to just set up a box at home and use it to download shit, then send it to school from that box. There's still a good chance that would be faster then the...

I've got a linksys 802.11g (WRT54G) wireless router that works great. If you're worried about signal strength, you could always run linux on it and boost the signal strength from the default of 24 up to about 89 I think. Also, if you really got crazy you could always build a directional...

I would hardly think it's against the rules. I'm not breaking any school regulations, i'm just wondering how to get around the NAT so bittorrent works. It's not like the school blocks it's traffic, it's just that the NAT's screw everything up so it's extremely difficult to find somebody who...

How far does it get into the boot process, just lighting up the caps / num lock keys or does the screen ever turn on? Do you hear anything other then it starting (beeps) ?

Looks like a pretty good moniter for the price. Like they mentioned, the 25ms response time is a little high, but unless you're doing alot of gaming you aren't going to really notice it much.

Here at my school we have NAT's setup that really hinder bittorrent traffic. From what I understand so far, I can initiate connections to other people, but when somebody else tries to connect to me behind the NAT, they can't b/c the router will ignore it. If I had control of the router I would...

My current system specs: 2 Ghz P4 Processor 768 Mb RAM ( 256 PC 2100, 512 PC 2700) Biostar P4VTB Mobo ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 Mb 40 Gb, 80 Gb, and 250 Gb HDD Sony DRU-510a DVD±RW

I have a strange ram situation for the time being, one 512 Mb stick of PC 2700 and a 256 Mb stick of PC 2100 . Which would work better for a game like half life 2, just 512 of PC 2700 or more ram (768 Mb) running at PC 2100? Would I even notice much difference?

If there is any backlight bleeding on the top or the bottom I don't really see it at all. The only thing that I see is the viewing angle (vertical) , but it's not bad at all.

I just got mine tonight and I absolutly love it. Colors are vibrant, everything is sharp, simply beautiful display. I'm extremely happy to say goodbye to the CRT world with this baby... Not a single dead pixel to be found. TigerDirect got it to me in 1 day after it shipped ( though I am...

I just ordered mine from TigerDirect friday, says it shipped today so hopefully i'll see it around tuesday or wednesday (shipping in state from their warehouse). I called them 2 seperate times and spoke to 2 different reps and they said that if it had a dead pixel that I can exchange it...

I was kinda in that boat too about the 6 bit color, but after enough research I found that it's really not that *huge* of a difference. I do do photoshop work and build alot of websites, but i'm not too worried about the color. It still displays what, 16.2 million colors? Think about it, if...

I think i'm going to purchase one of these, but i'm wondering which reseller has the best exchange / return policy if I were to get a defective unit. Also, does anybody know what Hyundai's dead pixel policy is? I read somewhere that it was farily liberal and heard from one guy who said they...

Where are the best places online to buy LCD's? I've heard both good and bad about Tiger Direct, newegg, and a few others, but can't make up my mind as to which one I should buy my Hyundai L90D+ display from... Preferably one with a good exchange policy.

I think i've narrowed my decision down to the Hyundai L90D+ and BenQ FP931. The L90D+ has an amazing 8ms response time and the only real downside to the thing is that it DVD's on it don't look completly perfect, but i'm not terribly concerned about that part because I watch movies on my TV...

Ok, i'm still a little torn as to which LCD I want to buy, but i'm leaning toward the L90D+ (only negative I can think of is that it's 6 bit but i'm not an intensive photoshop guy anyway, just building websites and hobby use. Now my primary concern is where to buy the damn thing from...

I've read that article over at tomshardware, and i'm curious as to why they say DVD's don't look very good on that Hyundai l90d+. I definatly like most of the specs on it and the price is great. Anybody know of a good place to buy an LCD? TigerDirect.com?

I'm wanting to get an 19" LCD moniter with a 16ms or less response time so I can game on it without ghosting, and a DVI input. Something like the BenQ FP931. I'm looking to spend between $300 and $400 dollars on it, but can't make up my mind as to where to buy it. One store I was looking at...
