    Is HP doing weird things with DVI connectors or did I get a faulty replacement?

    You could tap/file it a bit and likely it would be fine, then again if something else turns out to be wrong after you get it connected, you might have a more difficult time returning it. Probably best just to send it back.

    Old School XP, what happened?

    I gave it a try, and my boot time actually *increased* from 14 to just under 20 seconds...so I set it back to 3 :p

    Is this HDD toast?

    Any chance you can swap the drive out temporarily into another rig? That would be the easiest way I can think of...or maybe run memtest just to rule out the possibility of a flaky stick of RAM, or something like Sandra to stress different areas of the system and see if you can consistantly...

    Worth an upgrade?

    I've been debating the same thing...and in all honesty, I think the improvement of a 3000+ Venice (at stock speeds) over your Barton at 11x200 would be none/minimal in most (not all) areas. An overclocked 3200+ Venice would be a better idea IMHO, and it wouldn't be that far over your budget...

    Is this HDD toast?

    Could definately be the drive, but a failing PSU could cause similar symptoms.

    Upgrading my computer's Hard Drive

    StorageReview.com is a good place for HDD reviews/comparisons. Also, +1 on the Samsung drives...very quiet (idle noise is low, and nonexistant when suspended on a home-brew rubber setup) and *subjectively* feels much more responsive than my old 7200.7 (both PATA).

    Looking at 2 monitors...suggestions needed!

    Expensive for a 6-bit TN panel, but the second one is better IMO...:)

    Looking for Good LCD... Native 1600x1200

    The specs are pretty decent, and if the 204T ends up at one of the local joints I'm definately buying it...but not over the net. I've rolled snake eyes twice now...and RMAing monitors sucks, lol.

    Asus A7N8X-E and Seasonic S12-500 issues

    Hi all, I just bought a Seasonic S12-500, replacing my old 350W Silverstone due to electrical noise and inability to overclock much. Also, this was to be the "first" step in a planned upgrade to an A64 setup (current system posted at bottom). I'm having the following issues when the...

    The 730b or 930b (Samsung) or neither

    For 2D I like the tighter picture of the 17"...but the 19" may be slightly cooler for games.

    Samsung SyncMaster 193P Plus: A Review

    I've been through two 25ms PVA panels in the past month (sent back for various issues), and the smearing on them became drastically reduced after about a week or so of use. Now...THAT being said...deep reds blurred the worst on both, even the reddish colors on this website turned messy...

    Few questions on pushing my Mobile Barton 2600..

    I have a similar setup (Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe, 9800P, 1 GiB Samsung PC2700) and have been running 12X200 on my 2600 mobile for about a year now. I haven't really pushed it any harder for a few reasons...2.4 GHz is prime stable at 1.575 vcore, anything even a little further requires a major jump...

    best quality non-gamer LCD screen(8-bit?)

    There are a few good 17"ers out there using the Samsung 8-pit PVA panel. Samsung 173p, great reviews everywhere, I almost bought one...but didn't because of the software only OSD, and the styling is just a bit much for my taste. Samsung 711T...good reviews, I purchased one, and the image...
