So I'm thinking of getting a new personal laptop. The only modern laptop I have right now is the SpeedCircuit laptop, which I really only use for tuning. I'd like to have one for personal use, and I'm partial to IBM/Lenovos. There's a sale going on right now that I was thinking of taking...

I currently have a dual core AMD Opteron that I'm going to be upgrading to an Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor E8400. Obviously I'll need new components to go along with this. I'm going to need 2 gigs of RAM and a motherboard. Stability is my main concern. However, I like my boards...

So I have a DVD reader / CDRW and I also have a DVD+/- RW in my desktop machine at work. When I insert a DVD disc into either of the drives, it doesn't read the contents. However, CDs work just fine. This is on a P4 based Dell.

So 6 months or so back, my linux box crapped out on me. It was an athlon tbird on an asus a7v133 (kt133a chipset). I'm not sure what's wrong with that rig (it started locking up shortly after boot...regardless of OS), but it's done it's time, so I'd rather replace the parts rather than...

I built my PC in ~Feb of 06. ~6 months later, I got tired of how unstable it was. I swapped out my Asus a8r-MVP for an a8n-SLI premium. From then on it was pretty stable. A few weeks ago, I shut down my PC so that I could sleep without hearing the fans. Note that my PC is typically on...

I had RH9 running happily on an Epox 8rda+ Nforce2 motherboard. Out of nowhwere, the motherboard died. I could not find any more 8rda+ boards, so the closest thing I could find was the 8RDA3I. The boards are pretty much the same, but one notable difference is the Realtek RTL8201BL on the...

On my Asus A8R-MVP, I'm using the on board network card, which is apparently the "Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI gigabit ethernet controller". I'm having major issues here. While I'm using it, it will randomly drop my connection until I disable the connection under Networks, and...

I got it up to 2.53Ghz or so, but in order to do so, I had to sacrifice RAM timings. However, this is my highest OC so far with agressive memory timings. My OCZ Memory from newegg was apparently rated at 2-3-2-5, but I can't get it to run at any faster than 2.5-3-2-5. Even the SPD says...

Can anyone reccomend me a GOOD USB KVM switch? The IOGear's (along with many others) seem to be having issues.

Here's my plan: ASUS Xpress 200 CrossFire (939) A8R-MVP X2 3800+ (which stepping should I go with?) Big Typhoon HSF 2G of RAM (which brand has the best price/performance?) Someone reccomended me an Antec silent PSU which I'll likely go with Other than that, I already have my...

Ok, so about 8 months ago, I replaced my Winfast TV2000 XP card with a Hauppage PVR250. However, on occasion, I'll come back to my PC at the login screen, as if it had just rebooted. When I look in the event viewer, here's what I find: Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control...

A buddy of mine is just starting a new business. He told me about how he can go through his "My Computer" or "Network Neighborhood" icon to somehow connect to his accountant's Windows-based computer. When he does, his desktop is taken over by some kind of virtual desktop that has nothing on it...

My friend has 2 computers, a windows xp professional box and a debian box. The Windows box is connected to the internet, and has two NICs. The Internet capable NIC is on the 172 network, and the secondary NIC is on a 192 network. The secondary NIC on the Windows box is connected to the...

I need to make a router (not a firewall) out of a Linux box. I have two networks: 192.168.61.0 and 172.26.75.0 I need them both to be able to talk to each other, and I cannot run NAT. I also cannot change the IPs of the machines on either network. I know it's possible to do this, but...

I'd like to open two ports on my PC at work (so that they think I have some stupid monitoring programs open). I just need to open them and make them "listen". What's the safest/least taxing program I could run to accomplish this?

I have a friend who has an 80G hard disk that's partitioned so: Windows drive = 5G Programs Drive = 30G Data Drive = 45G She has a new drive (120G or so). I've already ghosted the Windows and Program drives. She wants the Windows and Programs drives to be copied over to the new disk...

I have an IBM T20 laptop that I use to tune my piggyback EMS (for my car) with. I haven't used it for months, and never had issues with it. I tried to use the software today to tune my ECU via the serial port, but it couldn't connect. I've tried reinstalling the software and restarting the...

Does anyone know how to do it? I'm using real VNC 3.3.7, and i can't figure it out...google isn't helping either.
