I have an e7400 running in my HTPC with the stock intel cooler. I have the opportunity to upgrade the computer with either a q8400 or a q9400. OEM, so they come with no cooler...Both of those processors are 95W vs. the 65 on the e7400. What do you all think about me running the quad's with...

I've just started playing, and I was wondering if the cave and dungeons reset after an amout of time? i.e. Do the bad guys stay dead, or can I go back later and kill them again for loot. Thanks

Does anyone know if the Audigy 2 ZS Live Drive will work with the X-Fi mp3 version? I rather not pay the extra for the premium version of the X-Fi if I don't have to.

Ok... here goes, maybe someone here will have some ideas. I've had my IC7-G for almost a year now. Last night I upped the bios from v23 to v27, and swapped CPU's from a 3.2C to a 3.4E, and to put the computer into a different case. After that was done, everything seemed to be working...

I'm having a problem with a burner. Everytime I try and burn a disk, I get a burn failed error. I even swapped out the CDRW with a new one (Lite-On 52x) and got the same thing. The fastest burn speed that nero will allow is 24x with a new blank. Computer specs are as follows: Nforce 2 IGP...

How much hotter does the 7200 60Gig TravelStar run than a standard slow 4200 notebook drive? I've done some searching & googling, and haven't found much, so I thought I would try and get some information from people that have used both. Laban

I'm getting a REALLY BAD slowdown on the very first level. It's at the part where you first get your gun with the guy behind the glass. I've done some playing around with it, and if the glass (or whatever the guy is standing behind) is on the screen the FPS drops big. There are also some other...

Is anyone running an IC7 or an IC7-G with 2 Gigs of RAM. I'm currently running 1 Gig, of 2 x 512 Kingston 3700. A couple of weeks ago I picked up another 2 sticks of identical 512 Kingston, and installed it so that I could have 2 Gigs RAM. Well, to make a long story short, I started haveing a...

Unfortunately my Son, who's almost 2, got his hands on my 280 pro's and broke the head band part up pretty good. (I keep telling myself that I love him :) ) Anyway, I was getting ready to order a new pair, and I thought I would post on here to see if anyone had any reccomendations for...

In your experience how accurate is this button for getting the best overclock. On my last card (5900 flashed to 5950) I had to back both the core and the mem down a little bit to get it stable. I just got my BFG 6800 GT, and I was just getting ready to overclock it. Just wonder what...

Does anyone have any recommendations of a drive that meets the above specs? I need a drive that's powered by the USB port. I know they're out there, but I just wondered if anyone has any experience with one. Thanks Laban

Is it possible to bind two network adaptors on a WinXP computer. I'm using a WinXP pro PC to push out Ghost images to some workstation on our network, and I was just wondering if there is a way to bind two NICs to the same IP address so that I can push more images from the computer at the same...

Has anyone used any good backup software that will write to DVD+RW (or -RW). I'm looking for something that I can schedule to run at night, and that will erase the DVD before it performs a backup. Thanks! EDIT: I forgot to add the the computer is running Win2k pro, and I will be backing up...

Has anyone run an IC7-G with 2 Gigs of RAM? I recently happened upon another Gig of RAM that matches the Gig I already have in my system. When I installed it, I started getting odd problems while playing games and encrypting DVD's. FarCry started having odd graphical glitches (kind of like...

I'm getting this error sometimes on bootup. Now, I know what you are going to say... "Just boot with the windows XP cd, and using the recovery console, restore that file." Well, I tried that, and now it will only boot into Windows about 50% of the time. The other half of the time, I get...

Does anyone have a recommendation for DVD authoring software. I have some home movies that I want to convert from VHS to DVD. I have tried Ulead Media studio, and Pinnacle Studio. But, both of these programs seemed a little unstable. Ulead was better than Pinnacle tho. Thanks Laban

Just like the subject reads. I'm looking for a fairly good 2.1 set up speakers. A wireless remote would be nice, but not necessary. Anyone have a good set that they use or have heard. Oh... my price limit is roughly $100 - $125. Obviously, cheaper would be nice, but... ;) Anyway, not...

Can anyone recommend a low profile PCI video card that supports dual monitors? Thanks

Check it out. Hopefully it will be coming sooner than later :) http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/9177

I'm looking for a backup program that will backup networks drives to a black DVD RW unattended. What I mean is that the user only has to put in a DVD RW disc, and the program will erase the previous backup (if necessary), and backup the data to the drive at night on a schedule. Thanks in...

I posted this in the general hardware forum a couple of days ago, and didn't get much of a response. So, I hope I don't piss anyone off too bad. Does anyone have a good and cheap place to pickup GENUINE ink cartridges for the Canon i960? I found a site http://www.databazaar.com/ that...

I'm moving across town, and DSL isn't available at the new house. The only options I have are dial-up :mad: and wireless. I think I'm going to try the wireless. They're advertising 1.5/384 for $60. More expensive than my DSL, but I don't think I could handle going back to 56k. Anyone...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. If it needs moved, please move it :) Where is the best (cheapest) place that you all have found to buy genuine canon ink for the canon i960 printer Thanks

What extension and themes does everyone use?

What's the best hardware and software to use to convert VHS & 8mm tapes to DVD? I'm also looking at buring all my Digital8 tapes to DVD. Does anyone have any reccommendations as to which software is the best to use for this purpose? Thanks Laban

When my new Geforce FX 5900 gets here this week, I will be doing the upgrade. I know that I should probably reinstall windows from scratch when I put in the new card, but I'm felling really lazy lately. Is there a good way to make the swap without reinstalling everything, that won't cause any...

I'm looking at putting together a computer for a co-worker of mine, who wants to spend as absolute little as possible (it's for her nephew) maybe $250-$300. This is just for the tower, no monitor, keyboard, mouse, or speakers. The comptuer will just be used for email, internet, and microsoft...

A friend of mine wants to buy my Geforce 4, so it looks like I'm in the market for an upgrade. I'm only looking to spent between $200 and $250. I'm really considering a FX 5900NU and flashing it to a 5950. Anyone have any words of wisdom or recommendations? I'm not opposed to ATI as...

Right now I'm running 2 512mb Corsair XMS 3200 sticks in my P4 rig. I just also got a couple of sticks of 512mb Kingston HyperX 3700. I was thinking of swapping out the corsair for the hyperX. What do you guys think. Is it worth the effort? Another Idea would be to go ahead an put the hyperX...
