Hey guys my pc is getting seriously old...this May it will turn 4 years old. The motherboard is a Soltek SL-75FRV, and currently it has an Athlon XP 2000+ (1.667Ghz). Performance Rated at 2.00 GHz So I was wondering, what is the fastest CPU I can upgrade to, and more importantly, can I still...

Hey, I have a PS2 plugged into my ATI TV Wonder Elite PCI tv tuner...but when I use my controller, there is major lag...is that normal?

hey guys, this is driving me nuts. I just bought the ATI TV Wonder Elite, and plugged everything, it works, but the Purple thing, that plugs into the card so I can use those ports, well i can't plug the damn thing in! It's driving me nuts! I think the little pins are bent, and I'm trying to...

I have latest Direct X, latest .Net runtime, used the ATI Uninstaller, then installed 6.6 from ati for mobility, and I *still* get the slow scrolling going on with web browsers. WHY!?!

what video drivers do you guys use with your M6805? Mine is two years old, and the latest Catalyst 6.6 Mobility make my scrolling on webpages very very slow.

alright, 1 will be for my little brother who's turning 17 next month. He's going to be a Junior in HighSchool. He needs something robust, which hopefully will last him at least until first few years of college as well. He mainly will use it for homework, although surely he'll want to play a...

I just finished Chaos Theory, and while the game was decent overall, its story never captures the caliber that the MGS series has. The Chaos Theory ending movie was crap. MGS3 was an excellent game, and it was very deep. MGS3 Subsistence comes out next tuesday for only $30, you should pick it...

by the way, using the LAME encoder in Foobar2K, it crashed after combining 26 files together. Does that mean I'm supposed to only do like 10 files at a time or something?

Hey guys, I did a little bit of googling without luck. I know that you can put an FM Tuner on an iPod to broadcast it on a FM channel. Could you do the same thing for a computer? Is there such thing as a FM Transmitter that I could put in my audio plug or via USB, so that I could *listen*...

in foobar, after i do the file conversion single output, which file writer preset should I use for decent sound? i still want mp3 so i can set up the pause/resume feature in iTunes.

i forgot to mention, they're on RoadRunner.

amazingly just 1 computer, which I guess makes sense since it's just him, his wife, and his daughter...and 1 dog. I don't think I'm too worried about Corey (his daughter) knowing about proxies or learning about them from friends. My friend and his wife just wants a safe environment for their...

While I tried to read some previous threads, what is the best Parental Control software? I can't think of anything else to go with besides Internet Security 2006 from Norton, I know a lot of people have a love/hate relationship with Symantec, but I just need a quick answer, I have to buy...

hey guys, i forgot how to do this: how do I take a bunch of mp3s, and turn it into 1 gigantic mp3 file? Freeware if possible. Thx!

Hey guys. I'm pretty fed up with Best Buy, beause they convinced me to spend an extra $300 to have this laptop on a 3yrs warranty, and when I finally do take the laptop in, it's been 4 weeks and they say "they still haven't got the parts for it". Of course they've having a hard time...

hey guys, my neighbor's laptop HD is dead. I can boot up the laptop, and where it says HD, it says none. The HD isn't even spinning or anything anymore. I have no trouble messing with hardware as far as desktops, but hardware on laptops, i haven't done that yet. Is there any quick fix for...

This game was BRILLIANT. It is the perfect FPS to play late at night by yourself in the dark + headphones. It does a better job to scare you than Doom III. I was really happy with the missions, although as someone else mentioned, from Mission 6-8, it got a little "meh". But then, 9 + 10 +...

well shit that thing is extremely expensive, like 80 bucks. Griffin is working on something for the iPod video to have recording functions, no idea when it comes out though.

sorry d00d i've been AFK for a few weeks. MicroMemo by XtremeMac. http://www.xtrememac.com/audio/earphones_recorders/micromemo.php I got a 5G iPod video 60GB, and I'm getting that mic, because I also need to record some lectures :D

seems i was wrong, i've only had the laptop for 1.5yrs, not 2.5yrs! lol, therefore the warranty is good until May 2007, whee! Still no word from BestBuy, let's hope I hear something in the next 2 weeks.

Well, at least I'm definitely am getting a lithium battery replacement in the mail...now I just need to wait a few more weeks to hear about the actual laptop itself and the LCD/shoulder hold issue. Syco- holy shit, you had the M6809, I had the M6805. ps. I'm originally from Afghanistan...

dude has enough technology to takeover 5 small nations.

well, like i said, i love that laptop, so as long as it come back to me, and works without craziness, I'll be good to go. I mean damn, that crazy 2.5yrs old laptop even lets me run Steam (HL2 & CS-S) at decent speeds. small whopping 64MB of video ram. booya ;D although once again, i really...

first time taking back the laptop, for 3 different things.

is the warranty still good after the repair? The two sides that hold the screen up are broken, and the connector from the mobo to the LCD is messed up (screen often flickered even when untouched), and I'm also getting a new lithium battery, as the one on there only held a charge for 20 minutes...

Hey guys, my eMachines M6805 laptop is out to get fixed with bestbuy warranty. It's over 2.5yrs old, and the dude told me that if it costs too much to get the screen fixed, I can get another laptop at BestBuy, he even said they still carry some eMachines laptops (I think he was delirious, since...

you make a very valid point. I really don't want to keep the Sidekick any longer since the $67/month is too much. Can you send SMS on the PSP? lol? maybe I should get a crappy phone + crappy lowest plan, and get a PSP to get wi-fi so I can check the net and emails? (although it won't be as...

Hey guys- http://units.osu.edu/wireless/sprint/ Treo 650 - $240 600 anytime minutes w/ free nights & weekend - $40/month Unlimited Web + SMS - $10/month Total - $50/month I currently have a Sidekick II via T-Mobile which I pay $60/month for 600 anytime minutes w/ free nights &...

Agent 18 case www.agent18.com evo3 for ipod 5G www.iskin.com Vaja leather case www.vajacases.com I have an unopened iPod video 5G that I'm waiting for xmas to open, and I want to go with the iSkin evo3 skin, but it's still not out yet. If it doesn't come out anytime soon, I'm getting...

I guess if you're rich, go for it, but what would be the point to get a Colorware 30GB ipod video when for the same price-ish you can get the normal 60GB ipod video?

That's the reason i refuse to get IS for my iPod video (that I won't open until xmas). I recommend the iSkin or Agent18. for iPod nano, get iSkin duo. I want to get evo3 for my iPod video, but it still isn't out yet. grr.

Fujitsu notebooks: http://store.shopfujitsu.com/fpc/Ecommerce/productoverview.do?type=NB&pgid=Notebooks good stuff for what you need to do, with best bang for buck as far as the long battery + small factor.

Frankly the FAQ thread with over 30 pages is getting too much. It's great for those who want to ask question and need a quick answer, but frankly it's very inconvinient. What we need for us M6805 users is an ultimate "I want to upgrade my laptop to the best, what can I do". Please provide...

would this work in my eMachines M6805 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827152048 ?

Is the jump really that huge? I'm at 512MB DDR. I can buy a Corsair value stick 1GB for 80 bucks, bringing me to 1.5GB. Now, with my rig, is it worth getting another stick of 1GB for another 80 bucks? How much noticable performance is there from 1.5GB to 2GB? Notice my crappy rig.

thx for the tips guys, I guess I'll just upgrade the RAM from 512MB to 1.5GB or 2GB and hold my breath until summer, and then get a MOBO/CPU combo then. I really hope BF2 does look better with that extra RAM...same with NFS Most Wanted. And F.E.A.R. as well. Quake IV I could care less, omgz...

worth the jump? look at my rig. I have an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB DDR and there's a newegg special on the 6600GT 128MB DDR for $140 plus a $40 rebate or something. Yes yes I know I need to upgrade the RAM...but the vidcard, should I hold off until summer when I try to upgrade mobo/cpu so...

dude same here. look at my rig, think i should get it? or should i get the CPU upgrade first? I ought to definitely upgrade the RAM tomorrow.
