Hey, guys: I find myself in a little conundrum. I currently have a Viewsonic 19" Widescreen TN monitor and was looking for something bigger to replace it with. I use my computer for a multitude of things: Graphic/web design some Steam games, Blu-ray movies, etc. I'm looking for a decent...

I'm having a bit of trouble with the enclosure I purchased. As suggested, I got theAntec MX-1, but it seems to be acting up. I coupled it with a WD Green 1TB drive.. I've tried two of the same enclosure and I'm having the same problem while trying to use it in eSata mode: it seem s to be very...

Thank you for the answers. Any recomendations on eSATA enclosures or will any do?

Wanted to do some automatic backups on an external drive and I wanted to know which is the prefered interface: external Sata or USB 2.0. Is it better to get an enclosure and drive seperately or do I just get an external drive?

There isn't an option to disable. Its set to automatic, which I'm hoping means it disables when a video card is present

Ok, here is the rundown. I hope someone can help me. I just upgraded my system with a Radeon 360 from Diamond. Here are my specs: CPU: Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Motherboard: BIOSTAR TForce 6100 AM2 Memory: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) OS: Windows XP SP2...

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071230-measuring-cpu-usage-during-hd-playback-ati-vs-nvidia.html Nice article. Actually helps me a lot in choosing a vid card for my future media rig.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Another opinion is always helpful. Going for a 400GB drive. Man, I can't wait to fill this sucker up :D

I have a question for you more knowledgable techheads. I'm looking to add more storage to my current Rig. SATA preferable (all my other drives are IDE). I was looking for something in the 400-500GB range. Someone told me that getting a large drive was a bad idea and it would be preferable to...

http://techreport.com/onearticle.x/11438 So in other words, they are going full swing into the intergrated specialized core market. Built in PPU/GPU/AIPU anyone?

Got the 65W 3800+ X2 and love it. Nice and quiet and cool to boot

Man, what a difference. I've had an Athlon XP 1800+ for 4 years now. The jump to an X2 4200+ is such a HUGE difference. Not only is it loads faster, but I can do more stuff at once thanks to the dual cores. Converting a half hour's worth of video took me an hour on my old rig. Here, it...

According to here(on the front page) we're getting new 4000+, 4400+, 4800+ and 5000+ X2 procs next month on the 5th. Any advantage to the current crop? Should we expect comparative prices to the X2's we have now or should we expect to pay a premium. looks like its time for me to hold out some...

My current 17" CRT is about to die a horrible death (picture getting distorted and its making a horrible staticy noise when it power up or down). I work at a RadioShack and we just got 2 Viewsonic Monitors: The 17" VA712B and the 19" widescreen VA1930wm. Wondering if anyone can recomend one over...

ATI just also announced the X1650XT, which blows the pro out of he water: http://www.hothardware.com/viewarticle.aspx?articleid=895&cid=2 Plus it has the native Crossfire. I must own this

I think my system just about died or something. Basically this is whats happening: I booted up my desktop this morning(been using my laptop more than the desktop so I haven't touched it in days). It boots up fine. It then reboots for no reason and after the bios screen, it gives a wierd...

Don't Oc, so I don't care either way.

Over my budget. Plus I'm a closet AMD !!!!!!. If only the Core 2 Duo boards were a tad cheaper

Upgrading an old 5 year old system. Currently Running an Athlon XP1800+ on a ECS board with 512 MB Ram and I'm definate need of a good upgrade. Keeping the 2 HD's, Case, Power Supply, etc. I don't game on my PC anymore, so onboard Video is ok. Basically, All I need it it for web surfing...

Ok, so I'm doing a major upgrade. My system is almost 4 years old and I need to overhaul it. Definately gonna get an AM2 Athlon 3800+ X2. Need a good mobo to go along with it. I don't need any bells and whistles. I may overclock, but probably not. I may buy a new better vid card later...

How much do you want for it? would you also want my sisters k5?

on a complete upgrade(ie cpu, mobo, memory, video card etc) probably 300-400 each system

OK, here is my current system: Proc: AMD Athlon XP 1800+ at 2000+ MOBO: ECS L7S7A2 MEM: 512MB Samsung 2700 DDR VID Card: ATI Radeon 8500LE 128MB at 290/600 I haven't touched this baby upgrade wise in about 3 years. My sisters is worse: she only has an Athlon 1GHZ We both need a...

Here are my specs: Athlon XP 1800+ ECS L7S7A2 Mobo Maxtor 80GB HD Seagate 120GB HD 4 System Fans NEC 2510 DVD+-RW Vantec Nexus Fan controller Anywho, I've been having problems with my computer recently: Random reboots after long periods of use, starting up with a blank screen, not...

Exact same thing happened to me but in this case, I lost a drive. Basically, my system didn't shut down properly and one of my HD's started to stutter and gave me crc errors. I thought it was just the HD failing until I heard my new replacement HD literaly shut down and restart while I was...
