Problem description: For a while I've been using my TV as an external display for my laptop. The actual connection uses VGA and I would go into Windows Mobility Center to activate the TV display. From the Windows Mobility Center you can also pull up the display settings (screen resolution...

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ MSI nForce 3 Neo2 Platinum 2x 512MB RAM Crucial Ballistix (earlier reported as 2x 1GB) BFG Geforce 6800GT SB Audigy 2 ZS Samsung 120GB HDD Windows XP Got all the parts around January 2005.

Actually it's two sticks of 512, and the long series of numbers on the sticker ends in 5V.

Hi, recently some of my applications have had wonky behavior, and whenever a game crashes it gives me an error message that I have traced to faulty memory. So far I've used disk defragmenter, scandisk, reinstalled the game(s), checked for viruses, and finally ran Windows Memory Diagnostic which...

In Halo 3 I figure the Elites are going to fight alongside humans, leaving the forces of Earth to fight only the members of the New Covenant - Brutes, Jackals, and Drones. The most boring enemies. Halo will not be the same if you can no longer kill sleeping Grunts and Elites D-;

Using a Samsung 120GB SATA internal harddrive and the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray asks me if I want to remove it..obviously I don't. I know the easy way to get rid of it is to go into the Tray Options and permanently hide it, but I also use it for my iPod among other things so...

Antec Sonata, Samsung SATA drive. The removable tray has holes on the side and rubber grommets were the harddrive would be. The harddrive has three holes on each side, only one of which will align properly with the tray at any time. To top it off, the screws Samsung included are too big to...

Installing the RAM (2x512) and I noticed the board manual says the max speed for double-sided memory in green slots 1 and 3 (Channels A) is DDR333. It also says that RAM is most stable when you put all of your modules in Channel A first. Clearly I want DDR400 so do I put the modules in 1 and 2?

Lucky bastard, I got all the new parts for my rig on Friday and planned on going to Best Buy to pick up the BFG6800GT with my gift certificates from Christmas and they were out of stock - in fact, there are only like ten in the entire state. Now I have to wait a week for it to get here (I...

Heh, you're in Tampa too. Care to hook a brother up? ;)

I'm talking about the key that is used to lock and unlock the hinged door in front of the CD drives and the side panel. The manual says the key is in a plastic bag in the box, but it isn't there. Well, the plastic bag is, but the only thing inside is the manual. Am I retarded?

When you go here to download Azureus (Java-based BitTorrent application, really good) it lists a specific download link for 32-bit Windows: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=84122&package_id=88270 On Windows 64-bit Edition, which one would work?

First off, I'm getting an AMD64 3500+ s939, but NewEgg has three different listings for apparently the same product (the only real difference I see is the .13/90nm thing): AMD Athlon 64 3500+, Socket 939, 512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Processor - OEM AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 512K, L2 Cache, Socket 939...

What's everybody's consensus on that? Looks good to me.

I'm not going to be doing any OC'ing or modding, I plan on keeping everything at stock speed. I've had my current Dell for two years (I bought it with Diablo II in mind, so it isn't exactly a high-end machine), and I'm not a graphics ho, so I don't obsess over a several digit difference in...

Do I need a certain kind with certain CPU/mobo set-ups? AFAIK, SATA is reserved for RAID - I'm building my first custom rig and don't think I'm up to the task of that yet.

Does the quality of the original Pro (Gigabyte, ASUS, PowerColor) affect the XT-PE final product?

There are one thousand milliseconds in one second. Plenty of time to notice a laggy response. I've had this mouse for four months, and I can tell it isn't working correctly.

Wow, the same thing has been happening to mine. I have the MX510 and recently it's been very sluggish and unresponsive, if only for a few milliseconds. Very noticeable difference.

What does nm measure?

^ But what kind? I was looking at a set of 1GB Corsair XMS RAM ($312 Newegg) but that's too damn expensive for someone who isn't overclocking.

Oh yeah, and it isn't being sold to [H] guys, so try not to be overly critical. Someone, believe it or not, would want to buy it.

Be realistic. This Dell is a little over a year old, and obviously outdated, but you get what you pay for and this would be good for people looking for a PC that can perform everyday functions (Doom 3, medium quality, still great FPS). I was going to sell it on ebay for as much as possible as...

So, I got the wireless one with Speed Booster, but how do I go in and configure the wireless security so people don't download kiddy porn outside my house? Sadly, I'm an AOL user, so if I call them up and cancel my service, do I keep my ISP (BrightHouse, I'm in Florida) or is it attached to...

Weird, seeing as how it was only recorded last weekend.

asdf, *bump*

No. Supposedly you can just change some network settings and bypass the login. I also need the original questions answered about configuring the Linksys router.

No, that's faggotry. I've heard of other people who can bypass AOL, but I can't decipher their tech-lingo.

Windows XP LINKSYS Wireless G Cable/DSL Router, Model WRT54GS w/ Speed Booster AOL 9.0 Cable ( :mad: ) Have you ever seen the bearded homeless men on benches in city parks, munching on god knows what out of a paper sack? They suck at life. I suck at routers. So first of all, how do...

..what should I get? All factors should be taken into account - brand, compatibility (AMD64 or P4, undecided), 3200 vrs. 3500, and 1 or 2 sticks. This is going to be a relatively expensive but still affordable machine, so don't try to recommend $400 worth of components :D

Better optimized than if I try to buy all the right cables and such, understand? IRT #2, I mentioned Dell because that's what I'm using now but I'm trying to move on to a more powerful rig.

I considered building my own, but I feel sure that ordering one from a company like Dell would be better optimized and free of compatibility issues. I'm looking for a site where you can choose individual components that could have come off Newegg (Aurora cases, for example, not rigs that come...

The thread title, out of context, is very erotic. And the "soldering gun"..jesus.

I'm going to sell it with my Dimension 8200 before I begin building my own computer this summer. I've kept it in superb condition, and it could easily fetch $350 on ebay. Somebody less technologically inclined will surely find a use for it :D

Hope it isn't too small. I tried to resize it so you wouldn't have to scroll :) This came in my Dell which I bought in Early 2002. At NewEgg, I searched 16-bit DDR800 Rambus in 256MB and came up with results whose costs were as high as $120. Multiply by 2, because 16-bit RD-RAM only...

That's fine and dandy, but as has been mentioned above, once everything is in the case I won't be opening it again for 2 years. Someone said the Sonata doesn't have a CD drive, wtf is this about? (By the way, can I buy new CD, CD-RW, DVD-R drives and manually install them?)

Meh, I won't need to be constantly exchanging parts or messing with the cables after I install everything. In the three years I've had this computer, I've opened it twice. Someone told me the Antec didn't have a CD drive? Eh?

27 views, and no real arguement either way. C'mon dudes.
