Was wondering if I can do better than the TV wonder pro from ATI for a tuner card. :confused: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=15-116-306&DEPA=1 $88 from Newegg. I really have no idea what to look for in a tuner card... :( I do know I trust ATI to not hand me...

Slight problem.... My TV blew out on me during a Hurricane. Down here in Miami. I was just wondering...if I bought a 9600XT AIW, would I be able to hook up my PS2, DVD player etc. to my PC and use it as a TV? Or would a simple TV tuner do the trick? If so, any reccomendations? I was...

Good afternoon. Just a quick question here after searching through the "newby" thread at the top about storage. Just exactly how do I copy a hard drive? I want to copy the files located on my old 20gig ata drive onto this new 80gig ata133 maxtor i just got. I would really like to bypass...

Need help in choosing a PDA. Prefer Windows based one. Capped price at 300ish. Cant afford a laptop right now. Primary use will be for short quick notes (can I write say...a short story on a PDA? I have no idea. Hell, can I write a novel?) on some short stories i'm writing and for a novel i'm...

Just need to know whats a nice motherboard with onboard Audio, LAN (not a must but preferable) and RAID and will allow me to do some overclocking on a P4C, havent decided which CPU to get yet (leaning towards the 3.0C) Best price to performance ratio a must! I was looking at the IS7, any...

New to the raid scene. Any recomendations on drives? Whats up with those Raptors? Two 36gigs would fit my needs nicely.

I was looking at this for my forray into water cooling http://www.nordichardware.com/reviews/cooling/2004/Zalman_passiv/ Any opinions on it? I'm going to use it for my Socket A 2500 barton Also I was looking at the new Swiftech MCX6400 for a future A64 system...

Can anyone point out a good starting point, like a website for new people? I wanna setup a lean mean Raptor machine :D just dont know how :(

Hey guys..just wondering whats the best mobo out for a Opteron or FX chip. I'm tired of waiting for these 939s to drop and by the time they do I will have enough for a high end gaming rig like an Opteron or FX setup. Seeing as they're both 940...i'd just upgrade as needed with the Opteron chips...

Just wondering if this thing is compatible with Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP...etc. I love the price on the Sony TJ37 with all the little neat gadgets it comes with. I've just been using windows all my life and I dont want to make the jump to a Mac OS if its not compatible with what i'm used to and...

Just need to know. Is it possible to download short movies (ala Quicktime) and play them back onto a Palm OS PDA? Or are those reserved for Windows Mobile PDAs? Namely the two i'm comparing is the new Sony Clie PEG TJ37 and the HP iPAQ 1945. Both are the same price $299.99. The sony i'm a bit...

Just read the article on the hardocp main page http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/intel64.php very interesting. Read the second also. http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/64bitrebuttal.php a good read. Thoughts and comments anyone? Mine is it can go both ways. Intel is much to big and AMD made a huge impact...

http://www.voodoocomputers.com/systems/notebook.aspx Correct me if i'm wrong but the m355 does say "upgradable" Ati doesnt it?

I'm just taking a stab at this but If I had a Wi-FI card in my laptop, can I connect to the internet like the centrino laptops do at hotspots and such? Do they even make Wi-FI adapters that use the pcmia slot or come as an option on laptops? Or am I confusing this whole centrino scenerio.

What do you guys think about the new CPUs from intel coming out for laptops? Comments, questions anyone?

Any of you guys know how the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 performs? Just need to know because i'm thinking of grabbing a centrino laptop and I would like to do some gaming. The thing is its the only graphic option on the Sentias from alienware.

Just wanted to know what do you guys think about the centrino laptops. Thinking about getting one. I was going to replace my desktop with a powerhouse of a laptop but then I figured I can keep my desktop (cause i'd miss it too much) and get something cheaper..like a centrino pc. The sentias from...

http://www.voodoocomputers.com/systems/advanced.aspx?t=1&p=300 Man and I thought the Alienwares were expensive. Makes those alienware machines look like a Celeron deal at a swap shop.....with rebates!

Anyone know any details on alienware porting the mobile athlon64 to their notebooks? That would be great. Just thinking about the notebooks cause its great for my lan gaming. Though it sucks that notebooks cant be home built like desktops. I personally think these companies are just milking the...

I recently slapped together a system I ordered a couple months ago. Chaintech 7NIL1 (nforce2 Ultra) AMD 2500+ Radeon 9000 pro 128 Elixir 256mb pc3200 ram Everything seems to work fine until it tries to load windows XP pro at which point it just suddenly reboots. It always tells me that...

Just sent back my single Opteron rig. I figure I can use the oh say....$550 bux I spent on it to grab a Dual Xeon rig. Thinkin about a 2.8 to OC to 3 and up. You guys know any good ram and mobo to grab? Also, should I wait till summer to see whats going on with the future of Xeons? I dont want...

Is the prescott simply a nanometer change? I see no difference in the upcoming releases. Same cache and core speeds. How much of an increase in performance will that shrink yield?

939pins.....seems like a present to the ones who hoard their pennies :D

Not sure which one to grab. Building another system. 2500 and 2600 bartons are the same price over at pricewatch.com ($82). Is there a reason for this? Are the 2600s handicapped for some reason? Or are the 2500s a better overclocker?

So will my IS7 (regular IS7) support Prescott? Can anyone confirm that?

Just wondering. Looking at the road map, will I be able to slap one o them brand new 90 nanos Athlon 64s in my "soon to arrive" 754 pin MSI K8 neo? Or will I have to play hopscotch (like some Intel owners are doing with MSI, Abit, and Asus for prescotts) to find another motherboard that will...

Can you guys tell me a good cheap mobo that will let me do a little bit of overclocking on a 2.4c? Just gonna put one together for a friend of mine. Like a mobo under $100 would be fine. 875 chipset if possible.

Hey guys I got a Dell 1000hs series and the damn thing doesnt want to display at boot. I over clocked my video card last night (9000 radeon pro at 300/270) and my chip (1.0ghz at 1.2) Could I have blown the monitor? I mean I see the green light come on then it just goes "idle yellow". Any idea...

Can I get some OCs for a 9000 128 pro? what would you guys run it at?

Whats a good fan for an A64 3000...gonna grab an OEM chip at newegg.

What do you guys think about an Gigabyte GA K8N pro for an A64? Good choice? Or are the Via K8 chipsets faster than the nVidia nforce3 chipsets?

WOW! Over at pricewatch.com I saw the A64 3200 take a $143 dive in price! Newegg is selling it for $270!

Looking for my opterons to come next week. Should I even attempt an OC? lol. I'm afraid to tinker with them. Any volunteers to OC for me? ;)

Hey guys...whats a good board for Dual Opterons. Should I wait for the nForce3 250 chipset? will that support 2 opterons? I'm a bit pissed that the 150 doesnt.

Just reposting (Dont ban me relic! :( ) Just thought this would be helpful for those wondering just how an Opteron performs in games. Its a 244 they are testing (1.8 ghz) so try and "wing it" when choosing a slower Opteron processor. http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1818

Putting together an opteron powered workstation. I was looking at the asus sk8npro. What do you guys recommend?

Price vs. Quality. I need to buy 2 LCD screens for my workstation I am currently building. Could you guys give me some suggestions.
