My old AMD socket 754 recently died and I not in position to do an upgrade as it would require an entire form factor upgrade (ram, cpu, video, mobo). So if you have an old 754 mobo laying around make an offer. Preferably with a nvidia chipset but anything is okay. Thanks, Jason

I've been out of the enthusiast's pc market for awhile and I need some assistance. I'll probably be getting the Corsair 520 or 620 as they gets great reviews and I like the modular design. For the follow system below what should I get. Q6600 8800GT (when I can find one) 1 Hard drive...

Windows 98 (not SE), OPTi Firelink PCI to USB adapter, mother board is TX Pro II which I'm pretty sure is a SIS 5598 chipset. According to this page, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/184400 , it should just work as it is an OPTi card and is OHCI compliant. Yet, upon booting it detects the...

I've got a new 320GB hard drive on the way and I 'd like to put windows on the C: partition and everything else on a seperate partition. I've never done this before but with 320gigs I think its time. So what size should I make the C: partition. I was thinking 10GB but is that too much. Thanks.

I've got a hard drive going bad and I'd like to back it up before its completely dead. Is it possible to hook them up on seperate IDE connections and then just use some sort of boot disk to mirror them? Are there any free utilities to do this?

I'm looking to configure a laptop and I have the choice of a P-M 715A or 725. What is the difference and what does the 'A' mean. Thanks.

What the heck does that mean and what can I do about it?

Ya, I know its old but I'm just getting around to playing it and it kinda annoys me when I can see the buildings being rendered when I driving around. Thanks.

Probably spoilers so don't read if you haven't played it yet. At the end I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOO, what about Alyx and Barney and the rest of the gang. I've never been so emotionally attached to a game before. Congrats to Vavle for the character development and great story line. Now I want...

Are there any tips or tweaks to reduce in game load times because they seem to take forever and really interupt game play. Thanks.

Ohhh I have longed for this day so long. The day I can dominate the console gamers who think there FPS skills are better with a controller then mouse and keyboard. "Lester also reaffirmed Microsoft's commitment to bring Xbox Live functionality to the Windows platform, along with unified...

They do get better battery life then the Banias even though they run at a higher clock speed right? And what models actually have a dothan becuase I'm confused.

Trying to fix a friend's computer that "wont renew the IP address". It wont work at his house or my house so it must be the computer. Any ideas?

I don't know if I phrased that well but is there any way to take multiple hard drives, say 4 250GB, and then some how set them up so Windows recognizes it as one 1000GB(1TB) drive. Thanks.

So I bought these 3 things and they are all compatible right? The RAM is faster but shouldn't it be backwards compatible? I ask because I have been getting error with this RAM but not when I put it a different stick 266FSB ram I had laying around...

Quick question, nForce2 IGP integrated video. nForce drivers or videocard drivers for the integrated video. Thanks

So actually I ripped two off, but you know on the back side of the motherboard in the center of all the soldered pins are these little transitors or resistors, what do they do? So I have never soldered before and its dead anyways so what the heck but if it doesn't work will it fry my chip?

Was fine yesterday but went to turn it on today and it is making a horrible vibration sound. Kind of like when a bubble passes through it but way louder and with more vibration. Sounds like something plastic may have broke, impeller? Any ideas? And does anyone know if Petsmart would carry eheim...

When ever I right click on something or click anything with a drop down menu (File, Edit, Tools, etc) I get this. When drag the mouse over the menu I get this... All this showed up after I install SP2. Any ideas?

Just hooked up the watercooling setup but now I'm curious as to what the maximum safe Vcore is. Is it as high as it goes as long as temps are good? Mobo goes to 1.8 but monitoring software says it never actually gets that high? Thanks.

Just installed it and ran some quick benchmarks but first is the setup. Chieftec/Antec Case 2 80mm panalfo L1A intake 2 80mm panalfo L1A exhaust Eheim 1048 Dtek JR120 core and shrould Vantec Stealth 120mm Dangerden TDX Ambient/Case temp is: 25C/77F IDLE Before: 32C/90F After...

Finally got all my watercooling supplies from DanderDen and Dtek but the 120mm Evercool fan from DD has a nasty rattle. I'm gonna try to send it back and pick up a Panaflo localy (anyone know where to get one in Seattle?) but I have a feeling thats gonna be a long shot and then I'll have to wait...

Running some tests before the watercooling setup arrives and alot of people seem to use prime95 over Toast for stress testing. Why? With prime95 I max out at 48C and Toast at 52C. Toast has always seemed to be more stressful but is there any reason I'm missing why prime95 is supposedly better...

Got a BSOD, screen went black with one solid beep repeating, had to turn off by holding down on/off switch, on reboot saw this: Any ideas? Its on a laptop if that matters.

Just got my laptop but I'm having major problems with the wireless speed. It says connection is excellent and at 11Mbps but I can't download faster that 30kb/sec. Intel 2200BG NetGear MR814 v2 router I have the latest drivers and firmware for both. Help please, its driving me insane.

It doesn't stop cheaters, it doesn't stop cracked copies and it hurts honest people that actually buy the game. Eight hours later and I still can't get it to work.

Dumb requirement that we must get two people overseas to test this webpage. It just a quick quiz. You can put in fake name and email but please keep it professional. Thanks. http://ecis.seattleu.edu/students/ecis315fall04/venablej/italy/quiz.asp

I'm looking into the Acer TravelMate 3200, Centrino based but is has a fan on the button. So I was wondering aren't the centrino supposed to run cool, and does that fan probably just kick on when it gets too hot. Thanks.

Ya ya ya, so its not an IBM but for the price and the specs it looks like a pretty kick ass notebook. Anyone have any first hand experience or comments on Acer notebooks, especially the 3200 series. Thanks. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=34-115-143&depa=3

So I want to mess with my fans and see which ones are louder and what not but I wan't to be able to do this with out powering up the CPU, becuase I'll be disconnecting this one too. Is there any way to get just the 12V power to run through the system. One time on the PSU I accidently changed...
