I need money for a car, so I've decided to sell some of my computers off. Laptop First up, an Ibuypower laptop. Purchased a little over a year ago. The only problem with it is that it has no right shift key face and no OS. Pentium M 1.6GHz Banias (1mb L2) Radeon 9700 mobility 128mb...

What's the best aftermarket cooler for the 6800 vanilla? I can't OC mine very far without it crapping my 3dmark score..(when I oc the card, it goes from 9400 to 7500). Bascily, it seems like this comes out to a zalman vf700 vs. nv silencer deal...but if there is anything else please...

So I'm browsing the web looking for deals on new components, and I come across some nice stuff. 754 motherboard bundle for $210 w/ Half Life 2, Farcry, and free music, and some pc4000 from kingmax for $80 Decided it was time I updated my poor old sytem (geforce 6800 and a duron). Obviously...

My friend needs some sort of software to allow him to burn dvd video to dvd on his computer. Problem is, he has a mac and I have no idea how to help him. So I turn to you....

Me and my buddy set up some stuff the other day, among the things was a temp monitoring Aerogate 3 fan controller. So we set up the vid card so that the temp probe/tape is direct on the gpu, and start up the system. I was getting temps of 90 C in windows desktop! It didn't feel to hot, nor...

I've been wanting to start a mod for a while, but don't have the money to purchase the hardware right now. Do you guys know if all (or most) mATX motherboards have the same footprint (ie screw holes....) tia

I just through a 6800 in my chepo rig, hoping to be able to play some games without going through a massive system change (which would constitute spending, and having, cash). So I run DooM 3 benches......1024x768, 4x AA 8x AF. 34 fps? That seems kind of low to me.....so then I run 3dMark 05...

I've never had as bad of an experience with any store as I have had with CC. Here's how it started: I saw that Micro Center had (and still has) a deal on a 6800nu eVGA card for $240. Unfortunately, I'm not able to get over to Micro Center because of "natural problems" (there's apparently a...

I have a brand new Radeon 9250 video card. I purchased it for use in a computer I have never completed, and it isn't powerful enough to run games I want so it has no place in my main rig. It is opened and I have tested it, and it seems to work perfectly. I haven't installed an OS on it or...

I have a Duron 1.8GHz system with 256mb of RAM. I was intending this to be my freeBSD machine, but my lappy isn't performing to well with new games (doom III,high action UT spots). Obviously, I can't upgrade the mobility 9700 on my laptop. So here's what I thought I'd do. I can OC my Duron...

Hey guys, I lost my UT2k4 manual...........which happened to have the password. I just reformatted.........and now I can't play UT2k4. Any ideas how I can recover my password? Like sending Epic/[Publisher] a picture of the game or the sort?

so obviously OCing is the only way to go. I was looking at mobile XPs........they seem nice, and I can get a mobile xp 2600 over @ xtremegear for like $85. I was thinking about pairing this with the pcchips M30 (or whatever has the SiS748 chipset) motherboard.....as I've read reviews of this...

http://www.mini-system.net/lv671.html interesting..........but what the hell is a minAGP slot? where can I find that type of gfx card?

should I set the jumpers on my mobo(pc chips km266pro) to 333fsb, running the duron @ 2.16GHz? temps won't shouldn't be a problem because plenty of amd chips already run at this speed stock..........

I have this hard drive, and the installation software for it doesn't detect it. on boot it says hard drive failure. Is it possible that the hard drive is destroyed, or is something trivial wrong? basicly.........do I need a new one?

so, I building a cheapo rig and I need a cpu. either a 1.3GHz Tbird w/ 133fsb(is this one dual pumped or not?) or a 1.5GHz sempron 2200 w/ dual pumped 166mhz bus. Which one is better suited for freeBSD things I"ll be doing, like software creation and normal use pc fair, like DVD movies...

I'm tired of Windows.....I just don't like the way it works. I find the open source ideal to be much more interesting, so I'm going to be making a switch. I want something powerful, not basic. I don't know much about coding or anything, but I would realy like to learn, and I want it to be a...

I'm looking for a decent, Tualatin supporting skt370 motherboard. I can't find any reputable sites that sell them for decent prices with the features I need. I believe the socket needs to be fcpga2?(or maybe its mpga2???), but not any skt370 mobo will work. I'd like an agp slot, but it's not...

I've been looking into P4 mobos a lot lately, trying to find one that will be great for OCing. I'm on a very tight budget, so I'd like a mobo that's under $100, but preferably less. here's what I've been looking at: ASUS P4S800D-E sis655TX chipset Chaintech A865PE or 9PlJ2 both with...

Is my athlon xp 2600+ supposed to have a purple die(I'm assuming that this is the actual processor part, the metaloid rectangle in the center of the chip). MY system doesn't boot, so I"m assuming that this could be the problem............

Anybody have an idea how well this mobo OC's? I picked up @ the egg when little things called rebates relieve the entire price sans shipping. I've been wanting to venture into OCIng for a while, I jut don't have a nice setup(gateway comp- no, mATX athlon system-no). I was thinking about...

I have this DFi Socket A kmd400-MLV motherboard with an athlon xp 2600 and 512 of mushkin green pc2700. I have the jumpers set right for the fsb and all, but the system refuses to boot. I've tried it with nothing other then the cpu, RAM, and video card(the ultra powerful radeon 9250). I press...

I have 2 sticks of destroyed memory sticks that I bought from compusa, also destroyed by faulty products from compusa. I don't have the reciepts or anythng, is there anyway I can do anything? I already talked to them at the store and they said they wouldn't do anything for me, so anybody know...

I have some questions for DooM II video card. I can obtain a 9800 pro 128mb, 9600XT 256mb, or 9800se power color. It seems that high quality in DooM III is for 256mb cards. Does that mean that only the memory is important for the compression settings, or is the card also a factor(does the...

I will have about $270 to spend, and I want to know what's the best combo for DooM III. I need a micro-ATX PSU that can deliver lots of power, a good socket A heatsink, and an agp video card. I already have an audigy 2 and a a 2600, on a DFI KM400 motherboard with a gig of 2700. help...

got a $170 refund from newegg. need help spending it. Here's what I need: Video Card For DooM III This doesn't need to be an x800 or 6800, or even a 9800 pro. something cheap, cause I need more money for the other stuff. I also happen to prefer ATi to nVidia, but I don't care if it's...

I am going to pick up a 2.4A pentium 4 or celeron d in a bit, and was wondering what RAM would be best for overclocking one of these 2 procs. 1gig of pc3200 is what I need, and I've been thinking about a dual pack of Mushkin level 1. is this stuff any good, or is there better stuff? I'm on a...

I was considering my low budget the other day, so I decided the best thing for me to do would be to get a cheap computer and overclock some things. I won't list full system specs, but here's the important stuff(pertaining to the subject). Pentium 4 2.4 A This cpu seems to be giving great...

I pruchased an ibuypower notebook with a pentium m 1.6(banias), radeon moobility 9700 128mb, and 512mb of RAM. Is it going play, say farcry and DooM III? I'm a little worried by the cpu's lo clock speeds, because some games are beginning to say they require 1.5GHz cpu's, which is a number that...

My DFI KM400 skt A mobo says thaqt it requires a 250w or greater power supply, and it will not boot with my microATX 240w power supply. would this be reason enough for it not to turn on at all, or is something wrong with the mobo?
