Has anyone managed to do this decently? I've got a new setup and my screen is just way too high, I'd like to be able to drop it another 1.5-2". I've considered just wedging something under the rear edge of the clamp so that is tilts forward more (which works, but doesn't give me nearly enough...

First - Should I trust the voltage setting in my bios, or should I be watching a program like CPU-Z or Asus Probe to tell me what my voltage is? Bios is set to 1.7v, but the other programs report 1.728-1.744v. Second - Is there any problem with running Prime95 while running other...

I'm curious what type of test everyone uses with prime95 as a torture test. I know there are different settings there, but unsure what I should be using. My main issue is that if I use the default test (the one right above the custom option), my system throws an error within a minute or...

I'm using a pieced together of used parts system consisting of a pIII 550 and a Abit BH6 and I've been noticing lately that whenever I do anything taxing on the CPU (or really that requires just about any calculations from it), the system will start making a higher pitched noise, almost like a...

So I've been looking into a budget upgrade and a Barton 2500+ comes to mind. Seeing as they're decent overclockers to begin with, I figure a moderate overclock would be simple. Seeing as the processor runs at 333FSB, wouldn't picking up pretty much any DDR400 (PC3200) ram allow a decent...

So a few weeks ago I bought a sound card and set of speakers for my machine since my dilapidated SoundBlaster 16 (ISA, of course) was falling apart and the headphone jacks were making noise constantly. The speakers I got was a Logitech Z-640 5.1 set (4 surrounds, 1 center, and 1 sub). Their...

Hey guys, I've read through the FAQ and came up with no conclusive answers. I've google searched around, however I don't think I was asking the right questions. I'm not too informed in way of electronics, so forgive me if my terminology is off. Also, forgive me if this is the wrong forum, but...

So... I was putzing around yesterday and I think I found something good. Best Buy has the Logitech MX700 for $69.99 with a $15 mail-in rebate -- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1051384539869&skuId=4746467&type=product Wal-Mart has it for $59.86 --...

Just an FYI since I've been watching the pricing lately... Yesterday the 3.0c was $270, today it's listed for $229. Thats $41 overnight. :eek: Boy would I be pissed had I ordered yesterday. :D

I apologize if this is in the wrong place, but I couldn't find a general forum for slightly OT stuff. I think this is about the best I can do. I see a lot of people buying and building big systems and selling something that is only one or two steps back from what they just bought. I'm...

Most/all of this is meant for project or parts ONLY. I do not know if any of this works, other then the Zip drive which was put back in the box immediately after getting clicking death. Pricing for all items is "Make an offer". Will consider trades. :) Cell phones are good for screens...

From this page of the review: I'm not quite sure I'm reading this right, but does this mean that you cannot run a 2-drive SATA RAID 0 array at the same time as you run an ATA133 drive? I had planned on booting off of the IDE drive, and working off of the SATA array. Seems a little strange to...

I know it's 4 days old on their site now, but this is a really good read if you're looking into A64 systems or having problems with a current one. Athlon64 Boards Found Lagging in Memory Support Particularly of interest is the results with different brand ram on different motherboards -->...

Hey all - I'm in a bit of a delimma and haven't been able to find a test putting the two types of cards up against each other. I do am about to do a lot of side work at home with the program SolidWorks, which is pretty heavily OpenGL dependant. It would be a no-brainer if I hadn't had such...

Ok, don't laugh... I'm playing around with the current machine before I upgrade. :) So I've got a pII400 on an Asus P2B mobo with some no-name PC100 RAM... I can hit 448mhz with it no problem (4x112), but it won't post at 4x133 (532mhz) at all. I've tried a few things, but the options on the...

Ok, so I've got the basic concept down, the routing is pretty self-explanitory, and the parts list is pretty simple. Though I still have a few remaining questions... 1. Do you need to cool your chipset? I've seen a few people doing this lately and wondering if it's really necessary for only...

I don't know if anyone has ever done this or even talked about it (damn the dead search function!), but has anyone ever thought about using a automotive fuel pump as a water pump? Most automotive pumps are fairly quiet, and only get noisy as they start to go. They are designed to run for...
