    FS: AMD Computer, and Dish Network reciver and card.

    I may have missed it, but I didn't see what you're asking for the dish network receiver.

    Swapping a AGP mobo for a PCI-E mobo, reinstall WinXP?

    No, but it is a Microsoft tool on the CD. Also please have a good system backup just in case (always a good idea). These are the instructions I've used: There is a SYSPREP tool on the XP CD. You may need to extract files from the Windows XP CD, files are located at...

    why dont any of the good motherboards have serial ports?

    I use the Sabrent usb/serial adapter (SBT-USC1M $13 @ Tigerdirect) with various Cisco switches/routers and it works like a dream. A co-worker of mine uses the same adapter to flash his FTA receiver.

    Swapping a AGP mobo for a PCI-E mobo, reinstall WinXP?

    I've had success using sysprep. Run sysprep, shut down, swap the mobo, reboot & let windows redetect the hardware.

    XBoX Next thread

    Good point! That is one thing the Dreamcast had (imho) over the other consoles: factory VGA support. The majority of people who will buy xbox2/next dont have a hdtv capable set, but I'll bet they do have a computer monitor capable of doing the same/similar resolutions. The dreamcast games I...

    XBoX Next thread

    At the rate they are going the Xbox2/Next will be available before they get any more of the current console back on store shelves. Backwards compatability isnt that big of a deal to me. Most prior consoles didnt have it...I'm sure theres more but I can only think of the Playstation & Gameboy...

    USB Thumb Drive

    I have one (generic brand) & its best feature is a write protect switch on the side. I mostly use mine to carry antivirus & spyware removal tools...its nice to be able to flip the switch, plug it into an infected computer, & not have to worry about anything on my drive becoming compromised.

    Trying to avoid another upgrade mistake...

    Its time for my far & few-between system upgrade, & I'd like to avoid the mistakes I've made a few times in the past. My biggest complaint is whatever I select is dead within 3 months of me buying it. My first pc was a 486/25 with the darn chip soldered on the system board. Upgrade path =...

    Just for fun, what was your first PC?

    My first computer was an Atari 1200XL. I sold my Atari 2600 & all its games and worked all summer to afford one. It was mostly used for games (Ultima 1, 2, 3, & 4 baby!), BBS's, and the text based Compuserve. It lasted me until college when I bought a 486/25....I have no idea what happened to...

    Phone Call disconnecting ADSL?

    I'd call the security company and get them to put a filter on the phone line. Every dsl install I have ever dealt with that has had an unfiltered security system has had this problem.
