Picked up a Lenovo X230 about 2 weeks ago and wanted to share my experience/joy. I upgraded from an Asus UL20A, which itself was a 12" laptop with a 1.3Ghz Dual core ULV CPU. So this thing has been a huge boost in performance. The day after it arrived I dropped in 16GB of RAM and a 480GB OCZ...

I have a new build that includes a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P motherboard. When I boot and windows starts up, there's an error window from nvidia telling me that my video card doesn't have enough power and will run in low power mode. What I don't understand is that I have just one 8800GT...

I'm a journalist and recently bought a digital recorder. A zoom H2. I need an app that will allow me to cut mp3 and wav files, as well as piece them together. I've searched and I've found a bunch of audio apps and most are music related and I have no idea how to find just what I need. Most apps...

ok, Last night I was using my computer, I shut it down, and when I turned it on today, it would not boot. I've removed it, pushed it cables, cleaned out dust and it's still a no go. My theory is the PSU went bad. Because I'm not getting any response whatsoever, there is no power in the...

In the nvidia control panel there is an option to overclock my vid crd. My secondary card will overclock fine. But it will not allow me to overclock my primary card. Even if I set the speeds to below stock. It will tell me that the tests failed. I've also tried riva tuner with the same results...

I have HL2 on CD. And when I enter cd 4 it gives me some crap about hl2.ico or something and then quits out of the install. I've tried installing from steam but it's 335 minutes. The cd is perfectly clean and it's worked once before. Which was the first time I installed it. Is there any other way?

Specs in sig I can get the CPU to run at 2.85Ghz stable with a fsb of 235 and a multi of 11x. My RAM timings are set to 333. If I set it to DDR 400. It won't boot. My HTT is set to Auto. Here's the problem. My RAM is running at 185Mhz 2-3-2-6. But I don't understand why? Why is it that...

I have a fileserver that is currently made up of two 120GB drives in RAID 1 running off of an 80GB drive with Win2k3 server. It's suits me just fine. And allows me to make backup's and FTP from remote places to retrieve files. That's about all I need out of a fileserver. But I keep hearing...

I have a raid 1 array in my fileserver made up of 2 120GB drives. If I were to break the mirror, would one of my HD's then be able to be used in another system to transfer data over? Also, would is be possible to reconnect the HD back to the fileserver on the same controller and recreate the...

This is a vanilla Asus A8N-SLI motherboard. Not the Deluxe or the Premium. I ordered this board from newegg last week. This board works well and includes the new Northbridge fan which is definitly quiet. And the Asus 1010 Bios (latest is 1011). Included is all of the accesories that came with...

I have two 7800GTX cards in SLI. These two cards are powering one LCD. I also have a PCI FX5200 128MB card installed as well. The card is recognized as installed in device manager. Also If I set the BIOS to initiate the PCI card first, it will run. In fact, the whole windows install process took...

I have an antec neopower 480 powering the rig in my specs. I'm awaiting a new sli system and I believe the neopower is enough but not entirely sure. AMD 4400+ X2 2x 7800GTX's in SLI 4x DVD burner's 1 250GB 7200rpm SATA Maxtor HD 2GB PC3200 RAM Am I going to regret not adding a new PSU...

They're both about the same price. I was curious which card is the better choice of the two. I'm switching from ATi to nvidia and need a bit of help deciding. Thank you.

I've been torn between the the Apple CD 23", HP L2335, Viewsonic vp231wb. All three use the same panel. The only one I've seen is the Apple. It's sharp at .258 but it just doesn't look right. I'm not sure if the Apple is representative of the other two panels but it's the only one I've seen...

I was thinking of picking up the Apple 23" until I read that it doesn't work with SLI because of the built in scaler in the lcd. The HP L2335 uses the same panel as the Apple 23", Does anyone know if the L2335 will work with SLI?

I'm thinking of getting two 6800 Ultra's to run in SLI. But with the rumours of new cards just around the corner, would this be a mistake? Just how much of an improvement are the new cards going to be over this generation? And how far off are these new cards from being on the shelves? Also...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145575 I can't find any reviews on this ram but it's CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) Twinx2048-3200c2pt Anyone have any experience with or opinions of these sticks? Or reccomendations for another set of RAM? Thanks.

I have an AGP X800XT I'm going to be getting a PCI Radeon 9250. Both cards are ATi. Would I have to install the catalyst drivers once or twice?

I have a hydor L-30 water pump as part of my water cooling setup and it is loud. I can hear it vibrate and rattle when outside of the case. When I put it inside the case, the vibration is amplified and it vibrates my whole case making it louder. When I bought the pump the specs specificly read...

I want upgrade the OS on my file server. I wanted to do this awhile ago but it's been working great so why bother. But now I'm just in the mood to. Is ther a linux distro that supports ntfs since all of my backup drives are all full and I have nowhere to put the data.

I have about 16GB of data that I want to backup onto DVD. Is there anyway for me to automaticly back them up onto severel DVD's in one sitting with me only changing the DVD's?

I have a 9700pro with ramsinks permanantly attached with arctic silver adhesive. The GPU is being cooled with a 1u HSF. Is there a silent cooler that will make contact with the gpu without the ramsinks blocking contact? The ramsinks are the low profile chrome ones. I forgot the name but they're...

I was looking at getting a digital rebel 300d and noticed the camera is over a year old. Canon has introduced a few new cams recently and I was wondering if a replacement for the 300d is due? I'd really like to get my hands on one but I have an incling a replacement in the price range is gonna...

I was looking at the ASUS A8V and noticed it comes with a WiFi PCI card. Is it specific to the ASUS board or will it work with any computer like a Dell or something?

I was checking out crucial's new line of high peformance memory and saw they're offering DDR2. $240 for a 512 stick. Is there even anything to put that stuff into on horizon? I'm just thinking to myself It's going to be a very long time until the new PCI-E, DDR2, BTX standards are...

I'm thinking of handng down my 9700 pro when upgrade time comes. Which is soon. But my friend has a 1.7ghz P4 with 512MB of RAM. Is there going to be an appreciable speed boost to the 9700pro with a 1.7? Or would the GPU end up being CPU limited by a 1.7? The current vid card in there is a 9200 128.

My CPU is watercooled and runs at 90F. If I were to watercool my vidcard by adding it to the loop, would the temps on my CPU go up as well? If so, by how much do you suppose it would increase. I figure the CPU temp would increase if my vid card were added to the loop. But I'm not sure if it's...

Are these two different cards? I havn't seen any X800XT's labled X800XT PE. But all of the reviewed cards are the XT PE variety. Should I be looking for an X800XT PE specificly if that's the one I want? If these are two fdifferent cards, what are the specs of the normal X800XT?

I remember when the A64 was first released it needed ECC RAM. Which made on top of the price of the CPU made the upgrade really expensive seeing how I'd have to buy new sticks of RAM also. Is the ECC RAM still needed or is it optional?

It looks a bit messy but I cleaned it up as best I could. The res is screwed into where the front 80mm fan would go. You can kind of see it tucked into the HD cage.

I can't figure it it out. But I'd like to have a scrolling text area withing a page. Any guides or how to's out there?

I've tried to stay away from outlook due all the reports of it's vulnerability to virii. But I want to be able to sync my ipaq with my desktop. Is there any other app that will sync?

I have a ton of little white bubbles in my res and some floating around in the tubes. I can also hear them inside the pump. I'm doing my testing phase and havn't yet installed it. So far, just one leak because I didn't push the tube onto the pump enough. I havn't put on any clamps. I'm...

I'm new to watercooling and I have a few questions. I already thought up a design and layout of the WC setup I wan't and ordered the parts. Should be in by next week. I'm going with an internal res. But I was wondering, is there any +/- to using an external res? It seem's it would be a lot...

I just ordered it from Dell and I want to order the DVI cable as well. It say's it's DVI-D but is it single or dual link, or does it not even matter? I'll be using it with a 9700pro.

I just came up with a nifty idea and I'm not sure exactly how to do it. What I want to do is build an information kiosk. What I was thinking is, having a small Via epia system connected to an lcd display. Having the display in the living room or kitchen and the epia system hidden. What I...

How exactly does wireless network roaming work. I have two access points. A Lucent/Orinoco AP-1000 and an original Apple Airport Base station. Both are being use to connect wireless clients to a wired network connected to the internet through a dhcp router. The AP-1000 supports roaming...

But there's now software. Where would I get the Orinoco AP manager software? Anyone know what I could do with this thing? From reading product descriptions. It seems like a pretty capable and secure AP.

Anyone know where to find some good ones?
