    Gaming Rig (already have mobo/cpu)

    Might as well just recommend a new case, this one is old. I'd rather spend an extra $50 bucks than have a cooling issue. add a case on top of the budget.

    WTB Power cable for 12 inch Powerbook G4 1.5ghz

    I need a wall charger/power cable for my Powerbook. Bought it from a buddy who fixed it up, but he didnt have the charger for it. Anyone got one lying around? I have heard the 65w ones for the 15/17inchers work as well. Thanks

    35mm still viable?

    Serious? You are *not* restricted to 4x6's with 35mm film. you just need to scan them bigger/better. Films not for everybody... But if you shoot Velvia, you'll know exactly what is so great about it ;)

    Looking to buy a DSLR--30D, 40D or D200?

    Welp. It is cheaper to go full frame on Canon than Nikon, BUT, I think Nikon cameras have the best ergonomics and, I feel, just as good if not better IQ than Canon. But, I was already heavily invested in Nikon when I shot film too. So. Try to hold some. The d200 is still a hell of a camera...

    Yes, another 4gb in Vista only showing 3.25gb thread... But I am running x64

    100% positive. I installed it myself. I'm gonna have to deal with it until theres a bios flash or something.

    Yes, another 4gb in Vista only showing 3.25gb thread... But I am running x64

    Yeah, I need a bios flash I do believe, but the BIOS flash on the dell website is the same bios I currently have :( The chipset and the board can handle more than 4 gb, but the bios doesn't support the memory hole mapping at the moment

    Yes, another 4gb in Vista only showing 3.25gb thread... But I am running x64

    Hmm. I figured it was just an issue with the way Vista was reading what the motherboard was giving it, because the motherboard does show "4095mb available". After a little bit of googling the numbers on the motherboard I believe the motherboard is a Foxconn DG33M03 Rev.A00.

    Yes, another 4gb in Vista only showing 3.25gb thread... But I am running x64

    Ok, well, I just installed SP1 for vista and it now shows 4gb. AS far as the motherboard, I honestly could not tell you. I didn't see a brand when i was poking around in there. I'll check, but the issue is fixed. Service packs ftw. As for the Memory Hole Remapping, theres no option in the...

    Great Deal on Dell Vostro 400, worth it?

    Well, my current rig is aging badly, and I've been looking at building a new computer for a while. I came across this deal on the Vostro, and figured I'd get some opinions before I pulled the trigger. I game, lightly. Source stuff is about the max I do, but theres some other newer games i'd...

    macbook HD clicking??

    Yep, its dying. Start backing up data while you still can get into OSX. Laptop hard drives are put in much worse situations than desktops sometimes. Between heat, moving around, etc. I replace A TON at work every week, and hardware is not our main thing.

    So I guess its time to put together a new machine...

    wow, thanks guys. I've been out of the hardware game for a while now, atleast 3-4 years, this is helping me make some decisions. only reason I'm not going q6600 is price. I'm trying to keep this around or less than $1k. If I can dash down the price of the other stuff, I might consider it...

    Alternatives to the ABIT IP35 or is that the best choice?

    So I guess its time to put together a new machine...

    Bump? Also, I heard perhaps an 8800GT 512mb might be a better choice then the 8800GTS 640mb... Argument being Faster, Newer and Cheaper. Any truth?

    Movie was on last night, and all of a sudden I lost video and I lost sound, but the fans and such were still spinning - the machine was still on. Hard shut down, tried to turn it back on, no dice. It was late and me and the gf were going to sleep anyways. So I didn't mess with it. I didn't have...

    Uhh, its an Antec TruPower 350, IIRC. And It is a bit older, quite a bit actually. I have been meaning to upgrade that as well, but it seems to be doing its job.

    Upgrading from a 9800 Pro...

    So I've had my 9800 Pro for just about forever, and I was wondering if there are any other AGP cards out there worth upgrading to. I'm happy with my current rig (in sig) but just on some of the newer games I think I'm looking for a little bit more grunt in the video department to run at native...
