I use godaddy for my domain registration and pay the extra bit for privacy.
My domain expires next year and I'd like to renew but was wondering if there was anything cheaper since it's like $20/year basically ($10/domain, $10/privacy).
I'm looking to get a new desktop computer, but I'm not sure if I should custom build it or if I should buy a fully completed one.
I recently bought a 256 GB SSD hard drive but besides that the rest of my computer parts are around 2-5 years old.
What do you guys suggest?
Here's what I...
I have a computer that's about 6 years old, with the following components:
Gigabyte G31M-ES2L motherboard
(http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3485#sp)
2x 2 GB RAM sticks for 4 GB (of which Windows 7 seems to recognize only 3 GB)
CPU is Dual-Core E6300 at 2.8 GHz

Are there any good free softwares that will track where your URLs take you?
i.e. It will tell you if you got 302'd somewhere (redirected) and give you status headers and such until you get to final destination.
I need to replace my old DFI LanParty MB which I believe was Socket 939.
My current CPU is a AMD64 X2 3800+.
This is just a spare computer that I plan on using to watch movies (on a projector, so like an HTPC) and nothing else, I have one in my room that I use currently.
I was thinking...
My buddy has an 8800 GTX video card and was considering getting another one for $60-70 to set up SLI.
I was wondering if the performance gain from SLI with 2x 8800 GTX's would be considerably better than paying $150-200 for a new recent graphics card?
I am doing some research on these topics and I was wondering basically where most of the enthusiasts or people that work in this area usually get their information and data from. Any good sites, magazines for reference?
My friend is looking for an inexpensive computer upgrade so he can play some of the recent games that may be coming out. He's a casual gamer but would like some decent stuff but has a limited budget...

Does anyone know how to convert a MSWMM file to an AVI?
There are a number of tools on the internet but I'm not sure which would work, does anyone have prior experience in this? The goal is to upload the file to the internet so it can be seen on a website.
I was just wondering, how much faster would a Core 2 Duo processor be compared to a DualCore and Pentium CPU if both have the same amount of GHz?
Like, let's put Pentium M at 5 on a scale of 1-10, where would the other CPU's be in terms of benchmarking and stuff?
I just built a new computer with 4 GB of RAM (computer specs in signature) but for some odd reason it only shows 3.0 GB of RAM and not 4.0, is it because it's win xp 32-bit or something? If so, can someone explain the whole reasoning behind this?
I'm a pretty casual gamer overall and I intend on playing SC2 and D3 when they come out pretty hardcore for a few weeks and then I'll probably just stop. Until then, I'll be using my computer for some intense Spreadsheet sheet, watching TV shows, surfing the internet, occasional photoshop and...

I'm building a computer right now, I'm not sure what MB I'll get just yet but overall, my budget for MB and CPU is $200 combined. Any suggestions? I'll be using the computer mostly for SC2 and D3 when they come out as well as viewing Blu-ray movies and Excel/Surfing stuff.

I haven't been following MB's for a little while and I was wondering if some people could point me to some quality MB's (Intel) that are less than $100 (the cheaper price, the better).
I have a pretty tight budget so obviously if there is something really cheap but a great deal, that would be...
I am using AVG and it notes that almost every single .exe. file i have ever used has been infected by Tanatos.M or Win32/Heur. A lot of these files are precious backup files too that I downloaded that are no longer available.

is the CPU I'm getting. What is a good MB that doesn't have a chipset fan (I hate the noise they make), is efficient and will last for a bit?
I don't know much about memory and I was wondering if you guys could recommend some good memory to buy at Newegg? I don't know what kind of MB I want yet but I would like the newest technology if possible? DDR2 now? I'm definitely going with an Intel CPU. I'm going to be using a 9600 GT if...

What's a good surge protector to get? I want to protect my HDTV and such and I have no idea how to find out if they are 'reliable' or not.
I was thinking...
I have a surge protector that's kinda old, like 5 years old from Radio Shack and it connects a lot of my tech items. I've been having a lot of thunder/lightning storms in my area recently and I was wondering if it was better to just unplug the devices or would the surge protector be just fine...
I have an X1800XT and I just installed the Zalman fan to it and for some odd reason, the graphics cards temperature is staying at 70 degrees celcius.
wtf?
I noticed that when I installed the fan, the fan was going to be 'diagonal' to the way the graphics chipset was laid out, is this...
I'm looking for a good budget video card that's capable of running the higher quality games but maybe at a reduced resolution. I'm going to be using this on an HDTV running probably at 1920x1200. This will be probably used as an HTPC or something.
maybe around $120 or so, NVidia preferably...
I'm looking for a budget but not too budget MB for an HTPC with light gaming on an HDTV.
I plan on having 1-2 HD's in it, one of them being the WD 640 GB HD.

I used to have ATI Overdrive on my X1800XT, then it went missing after I did something some time ago, but I'm not sure what I did to make it go missing. Anyway, how do I re-enable it? I'm in CCC and I don't see the option whatsoever. Do I need to do anything to my hardware or anything or...

I have a PS3 and a Wii and I wanted to know which one would be better to get? Also, how many players can you play on guitar hero, up to 4 or just 2?
Overall, I just want the better game if there is a difference. Would I need a few guitars also?
