This would be just perfect for a new build I am planning for over the holidays, as you can see, I am very much looking forward to an upgrade after 5 years with this trusty machine.

Well, I am assuming that since everything did power on, including the hard drives and video card, that the power supply is good, save of the very small chance that only the CPU power cord is no longer working? Not sure how I would test that one cable though...

So, I have been asked by a friend to take a look at his nonworking computer and after several hours of testing things I have come to the conclusion that the processor must be fried. I have tested each of the 4 sticks of RAM in each slot individually, reset the CMOS, tested the video card, used...

I used to have my PC (with an ASUS P5K Deluxe) and Intel e4300 overclocked to a significant and stable 2.8 GHz (up from the stock 1.8 GHz). I had a couple fans go out and thus lowered it back down to stock till I could fix that. I now can not seem to overclock at all now. And not just that...

Well, here's the deal, I really need a laptop, and i really can't decide between these two laptops. Any info would be very helpful! I am really interested in the differences in the screens: a 15.4 inch 1680x1050 LCD or the 14.1 inch 1280x800 LCD with LED backlighting... How much of a difference...

Well, i have aquired an older Trinitron monitor that apparently has an "infamous brightness" problem. Have looked up the problem and what i keep finding is that i need to replace one of the resistors, i looked up a diagram of it and found the right one, so now all i need is a resistor between...

I am recently in the need for a rather larger resistor that i can not find at any of the local places, so im just wondering who migh be a good resistor seller? I have seen many different sites selling them, but just wondering if there is like a trusted site that any of you might use or have...

Just wondering if there is anything I need to, or should do, to my motherboard (maybe a BIOS flash?) before putting in the new chip. Also just any other advice on putting in a new proc in an older motherboard would be great! Thanks!

Just put together a new computer, and wondering which i should get, i am using Ubuntu right now and will continue to do so, but i will need windows for school, so just wondering, is there much of a difference in the 64-bit version, not just in benchmarks either...? Are there still a lot of bugs...

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ I really like that Christmas wallpaper! Linky Please...

Never mind guys! Installed Ubuntu over it and everything works fine now, and personally, i like it a lot more than Fedora!

Ok, so i was dual booting Fedora and windows, havent been using fedora much due to the lack of an X-Fi driver (gotta have my music....) so finally notice the release of one...well, tried....but now it loads GRUB (with minimal bash like commands) and cannot find something to boot from. So, tried...

Just wondering what the highest safe temp is for an 8600 GT (eVGA). OCing a little buit and at 44 c now, so just wondering, thanks!

Thanks for the reassurance! I will be getting the P5K Deluxe then. Just for your information, here is everything else I'm getting to go with it! P5k Dlx PC P & C Silencer 610W PSU 2x1gb G Skill Cas 4 Ram (4-4-4-12) C2D 4300 WD Caviar 320 GB sata HDD All in an Antec 900 Right now i...

I am gearing up for my first build, hope to be ordering Friday or over the weekend, but still wondering which board to get. I like both, especially the 1333 FSB support on the p5k, to add pyren later, but will the lack of ddr3 affect that. Please let me know what everybody thinks! thanks for all...

Its $130, with a $10 mir, But I think it should work well, 600W with 4 18 amp 12v Rails. (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817341001) Thanks.

I think some DDR2-800 Gskill, 4-4-4-12, that with an ASUS P5B Deluxe, OCZ 600W PSU, all in an Antec 900 (if thats any indication, i would like to stay with air cooling ;) ) And i will probly end up getting a new HSF, but I don't know yet, I would like to see what i can do with out one first...

Which would be better for me. I want to start off smaller, then upgrade to a quad 1 to 2 years down the road, but i want this one to OC resonable well, and would i notice a real world differance in the 2MB and 4 MB cache? Thanks for the help!

Just about ready to purchase my final components for my new build, but still need help deciding on a mobo. I want a better motherboard with plenty of options and upgrade paths (like quad core). I want to get an e6420 and OC it as far as i can, I have heard both of the above mentioned boards will...

In the HEXUS article that the OP posted, it says: so yes, i think it will. I have that same case too (for my next build)! This looks amazing though, although, i could see were turning the fans the other way (pointing outside the case) might be an issue.

Need help deciding which one to get. Mainly looking for the better OCer. I like the ASUS better now due to its other features like built in WiFi, Dual LAN and eSATA, But what do you guys think?

Wow, great articles! Now I think I have to Decide between the 6320 or the 4300? I looked at the OCing ability of the 4300 and looks very promising, better OCs than the 6300 so, I think I am going to go that route. Thanks for the help and info!

Alright, thanks a lot for the affermation! I was leaning toward the 6300 but one of friends (kinda an AMD fan) was trying to talk me into it, but i think ill stay with my first choice, thanks again!

srry for yet another amd or intel thread but i need some help, either going with the e6300 or the X2 4000? how well does the AMD OC, on air cooling, compared to the intel, and what kind of power consumption differances. thanks for the help!

Ok, I think, with that, I will go ahead and get the Antec 900, mainly because of its superior air cooling, I don't really have the time, patience, nor money to going into a WC setup. Thanks again!

Well, I still can't decide..... The biggest question I still have though would be what are the pro's and con's of putting the PSU at the bottom rather than the top? Thanks.

The top two choices I have right now are: Antec Nine Hundred: on sale now for $90, http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=342484&pfp=hpf11 or Cooler Master C5, for $50, http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811119047 So what would yall suggest? A couple...

Nice, like the desktop, and the song playin'! ;)

Well, my Memorex ScrollPro SE muse is acting like a double click on every single click, and it is extreemly annoying, trying to surf the web, burn CDs listen to music, very annoying, anybody know what i could do? I already reinstalled drivers and retarted several times and moved it to a...

Its an Upgrade...........grrrrr.......well, ok then, thanks for the info.

Just went out and got MS Front Page 2003. Tried to install it, it says i have to have MS office 97, 2000 or XP. Well, I have Student and Teacher Edition 2003 and it wont let me install it. I'm kinda perturbed about this right now, any other options besides dealing with tech support? Tanks for...

Just wait for some new, special 8800 series drivers to come out. *Hopefully* there will be quite an improvement with them from past driver experiences.

Well, just found out my wireless router has a blown cap this week, and i need a new one, preferably as low cost as possible, so what should i get. The one i had was a d-link wireless G. I want at least a G, if not super G (or whatever its called) that can go just over 100 ft. What do you guys...

With that Budget, I would look into The Klipsch Promeadia 2.1, Infact, Best buy has them on sale this week for $119.99, So yeah, thats what id do, unless your just a diehard Logitech fan! ;)

bump, still would like some help..........

8800GTS all the way!!! just look at the reviews from [H]ardOPC! Awsome! You would get better performance than SLI, without all the hasles of SLI, and newer tech! My vote goes to the 8800GTS.

Yeah, how much do you want to spend? The logitech X-230 is perobly better than what you have now, but the Logitech Z-2300 is about $100 and much better, or even better are the Klipsch promedia 2.1 for around $150, or the M-Audio Studiofile 2.1 system for like $250 or $300. Just depends on how...

Hey, my computer has been acting up recently, so I have been thinking about reformatting, but i think i found out what is causing the problem when i went to shut down my computer last night, it came up with an error, cannot end program XPCOM, well, i didnt know what it was, so i did a search for...

QFT! Start out with an NES, like $25 or something used somewhere. or maybe SNES, also good. Sega Genisis, i like it too, Dreamcast, GC, those are my top choices, or a Wii if you have the money and want him to be moving around that much in the room. (dont want a broken vase and whatnot. ;))
