    Dell Delays

    Put in an order for a laptop Sept 3. Just got an email saying delivery will be delayed until at least Oct. 20. Has anybody ever negotiated some kind of compensation for a late delivery? I told them depreciation alone on the $1200 system would be almost $100 in two months, easy, nevermind...

    Facebook Trojan Virus "Gampass" - not caught by my Symantec AntiVirus

    Uh oh, maybe not. Upon reboot, I just got this message from Symantec. "Delete succeeded : Access denied" doesn't sound as promising as I would probably like: Scan type: Auto-Protect Scan Event: Threat Found! Threat: W32.Koobface.B File: C:\windows\fbtre9.exe Location: C:\windows...

    Just ran all of this and the malwarebytes anti-malware and deleted 6 Trojans. Internet is running a lot faster and my google actually works now. Feels like this did the job. Hopefully I can get my Facebook account back. Thanks a lot for the help!

    Upgrade Suggestions for college student?

    My t-bird setup finally died on me. I'll be doing little to no gaming, lots of menial multi-tasking (excel work, word, bunch of internet screens, aim, winamp, etc), so I am thinking of picking up a low-end $150 second lcd monitor at circuit city and running a two monitor setup, though that...

    What to buy?

    Thanks guys. :) What motherboard do you recommend for best stability? Also, didnt the 2800+ used to have significantly less L2 cache than the rest of the 64 bit chips? Now that I look on pricewatch, it says they all have 512k...

    What to buy?

    I need to get a new motherboard, processor, and Ram, as my old ones died... I will probably keep these same parts for the next three or so years and use them mainly for running multiple standard applications at the same time (usually means wimamp, kazaa, a few web pages, a word document, and...

    I am finally upgrading my T-bird [email protected] to a barton 2600+ and I want to get the most stable reasonably priced board and ram I can. I'll mostly be multitasking and playing a very minimal amount of videogames. I don't even think I am going to bother to overclock it, so that is not an issue...

    upgrading main components AMD style, need advice

    Hey CypHill, if he has the reciepts and factory boxes, and can save me some money over buying it online, I would be interested. I think I might opt for a slightly faster processor, but I'd be interested in the RAM. Thanks.

    upgrading main components AMD style, need advice

    Thanks for the advice. I think I'll shy away from MP for two reasons: 1) 2x athlon MP 2600 processors are $130 + shipping each (2000s are $121+shipping) and a decent mb is probably $80+ for a total of $340 which is probably only $20-30 cheaper than getting an athlon 64 3200+mb, and I imagine...
