I have a friend who needs a gaming laptop. Is the ATI X700 Mobile any good? I have heard from some that it's just an X300 Core in a laptop, but from others I have heard it's like a Radeon 9800 Pro. What is everyone's opinion on this card and how will would it be paired up with a 1.8ghz Pentium M?

Within the next 6 months or so I plan to be moving to a new house. Since we'll be spending a few weeks fixing the place up before we move in, I figured I may as well wire the house for Ethernet. My question is, how much would it cost (for cables, face plates, and stuff) to wire a three story...

I have a linksys WRT54G that I use as a Router/WAP. A few days ago I noticed that the router was no longer getting a DHCP lease (I live in a dorm, and yes I checked we are allowed to use Wireless routers as long as we use WEP or MAC Filtering). So I have been using a Static IP setup. Does...

I got a Lite-On DVDRW SOHW-1633S for Christmas and I just noticed the other day that it will burn DVDs just fine, but it is unable to burn regular CDs. Aren't DVD burners supposed to be able to burn CDs as well?

Alright everyone, I am a server admin for Pittco and we have a huge LAN (200+ people) coming up and I need to find a way to run enough CS servers. Does anyone know of a guide online for admining CS and CS:Source servers? I mostly did UT2004 in the past, but now I have to cross over because...

I am trying to have two mice installed on my computer (both USB, don't ask why it's a long story), and for some reason every mouse except for the one I've been using (Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0) works for about 3 seconds and then stops. That's how my device manager looks with...

Alright, I got a Belkin USB KVM for Christmas and I was trying to connect my Windows box and Linux box together and I cannot get the mouse to work. I tried Belkin tech support and they said it was because I was most likely using Generic Mouse drivers in Windows (I haven't emerged KDE yet on my...

Hey everyone. I'm in ACM on my campus (Clarion University of Pennsylvania, yes there are a few of us here that are [H]) and we are trying to come up with a pattern matching program, but a lot of us are stumped. Now remember most of the people in our chapter of ACM are Freshman and n00bs to...

Hey guys, I have a Shuttle XPC system that I use for LAN Parties and as a personal server at home/in the dorm. It's currently running Windows 2003 Enterprise (Academic License), but I want to run Linux on it. I am thinking Fedora Core 2 because of how easy it is to setup. I've done Gentoo in...

Christmas is coming, and that means time to upgrade my system, My system specs are in my sig, and I am wondering if upgrading from a 2600+ Barton to a faster Barton would be worth it? Overclocking is not an option because I do not have the cash to replace my system in the event that crap...

Alright, I’ll be starting my 5th semester of college in the spring and since I have very little space, and I am constantly on the move I am considering buying a laptop as a secondary system/work machine. Budget is about $1500 (before warranty and such, parents are awesome sometimes) and I want...

Alright I am going back to school in 2 weeks (Good old Clarion University *Go EAGLES!*) and I am going to need an LCD monitor because of deks space issues. I want something that's 17inches or so and good for gaming. I play mostly Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake III, Halo, and Dawn of War. What...

Alright this has been going on for a few weeks now. I'll go to work in the morning (like 7:30AM) and when I get back around 4 my system clock is off by like 15 minutes. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? See hardware specs below, but I am using (a legit version of) Windows XP Pro w/SP1.

I just built a new HTPC using a Shuttle XPC (Via KT400 Chipset) and whenever I got to watch a DVD or DVD rip (legal mind you, the only reason I am watching a DVD is because I was too lazy to rip it) the volume is extremly low. I have the volume on the computer and TV up as high as it will go...

Alright I just got a Sound Blaster Audigy (I needed a sub $50 sound card for my LAN Party box) and for the first week or so it worked fine. Now it seems that when I am listening to music, whenever I use the keyboard the sound starts to skip. I have tried both WinAmp and Windows Media Player...

Alright, I am planning to get an Athlon XP 3000+ or 3200+ (I want the 400mhz fsb) and I am currently using 512 megs of GEIL Ultra DDR 3200 (1x512) and I plan on adding a second stick of this stuff and running in Dual Channel. What exactly do the timings mean and how are they important to the...

About 8 months ago I got pissed off at Microsoft so I installed Mandrake Linux on my computer at college. I later got a call from Computing Services at school saying I'd have to take the Linux machine off the network because students were only allowed to use Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP Home, or XP...

At work we have some departments that use laptops that are chained down to the desks. These laptops tend to go into hybernate mode and we are unable to take remote contoal of them (using Altiris) or push updates to them. I know in Windows 2000/XP Power Options are User Specific, but I wanted...

Alright, at work we are deploying Windows XP Profession via RIS (Remote Installation Services). We are experencing a problem with consistency. Basically 75% of the time it installs Windows XP one way, and 25% of the time it installs it another way, neither is correct. We want the machines...

After a few months of trusty service I have decided to sell my LAN Party gaming server. Everything is in working order, I am just working on building a new system and have no use for this one anymore. I am asking $350 (plus Shipping and Handling) or would be willing to trade for a 333/400 fsb...
