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...

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...

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?

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...

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.

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...

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

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...

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...

So, I'll be using one of these cases with an ATX mobo, 1 gig ram, AMD64(939 maybe?) setup. I need a CD-R, CD-RW, maybe DVD-R if that's a case option. Which of these fits my needs: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-112-025&depa=1...

Are there any cross-compatibility issues? The harddrive is relatively urgent, but I'm waiting until late summer till I totally refit my computer with the new AMD proc, R423, the works. Using a Pentium 4 at the moment, so would it be okay if I switched it over? Next inquiry, regarding the...

can't be deleted? I have several of those at the moment, including "microsoft frontpage", "xerox", and lots of other stuff. Google didn't help, anyone know how to get rid of this stuff (permanently)?

Intel is adapting the 64-bit proc from AMD. Does this mean the s939 3400s will be overshadowed by some new Intel beast, or at least have the potential to be?

get rid of certain parts of pictures. For example, a navy shirt with a huge yellow emblem. How do I realistically "paint over" the insignia?

Why?

Simple, practical case. Nothing cheap, but it goes in my family's kitchen, so it can't be one of those flamboyant, blacklit, Alienware-style ones. Something like the standard Dell case, but with innards as respectable as any of the rest.

Meh, I just aquired SiSoftware Sandra Pro, and was looking around at my port information. Now, I've always noticed that my GeForce 3 seems to be much more reliable and even offer better performance than a lot of Radeon 9500/9600s. Keeping in mind that this computer was bought from Dell(I'm...

Are all hard drives compatible with all motherboards, within reason? I wanted to take advantage of the CompUSA 160GB Seagate Barracuda on sale, and until this summer all I have is a generic Dell desktop. http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?&ref=cj&pfp=cj&product_code=304903

Well? I've been in the market for an A64 for quite some time, but I'm wondering if I should just hold off. First of all, there's no real use for a 64-bit system if all it offers is a slightly higher performance record for typical 32-bit applications. To my understanding, no applications that...
