CRT's despite being an older technology, still produce the most accurate final result without any fuss. I'm considering switching to TFT but am well aware that CRT's are still superior (a good quality one that is)

Am considering switching from 21" sony crt to tft but somehow I can't help but believe people have to justify their purchase as really being great when in fact it is just ok. In other words, is it really worth it as my crt works great but i'm looking for something better still. Am not sure if...

...and I got mem dumps

So I have 2 stick of 512 pc3200 running on my Asus K8V SE. Since 1 year no problems, fine stable etc (1 made in UK 1 made in US and both have slightly diff. physical appearance. Recently added another stick of the same ram this time made in the US. Problem is that when the UK stick is placed in...

good advice... would be nice if I could but im on a 3 slot mobo in single channel.

So I currently have 2 sticks of 512 crucial and want to add another gig stick and have seen that the generic ram is half the price but matches the exact specs ofthe current ram. Is this worth going for or is it asking for trouble? I'm on an Asus K8V SE board (VIA chipset)

My point is that I'm hearing about people with a lot of problems specifically with the cards mentioned. My point is that they seem to have problems in the quality of their cards. My point is that I haven't heard nVidia suffer these problems having owned various geforces also. btw- In a few...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm seeing loads of problems that people have with the high spec ati cards. My own 9800 256 packed up within 6 months with problems of corrupted graphics and many other people had the exact same problem with their 9800's and x800's. Seems something is up with ATi? My...

Since my 9800 256mb proved defective so is being refunded and is several months old. I can use the refund for a new card so what to go for? Anything which beats the performance of the 9800 but in the same current price bracket. I've seen the XFX GEFORCE 6600GT AGP 128MB DDR3, but this will be...

confirmed the card failed

Anyone know of problems where the above card has given problems where in games or when turning on pc and going through start up screens i.e. bios and loading of an operating system say eindows for example caused really corrupt looking graphics to show up. The reason I suspect the card is...

Is there anywhere I could download and install dos from so I can restart in that mode?

Wardriving ...sounds a little dodgy unless its on official business

Hmm not sure will give it a go but am keen on DOS if it is availble for installation.

You might remove stickers as you are perhaps non-materialistic r don't like to flash your stuff around. Some leave them on, and some even pay to stick more on! Some people pay to lift weights at the gym, some people in poor countries get paid to left weight at the local markets.

Not that I can see.. Is there any way to install MS-DOS so I can restart in it? Great for formatting

HI I have a laptop which needs to have its hdd formatted. Problem is that it needs a dock which has drives in it to do the job which I can't find. Is there any way to do the job via USB floppy and cd drives. Doesn't seem to want to boot from them. Ideas? Pleeaase! Also: There is no MS-DOS...

any ideas?

Link lights seem to be on.. :confused:

looking at the wiriing, it looks crossed over.. does this mean its a crossover?

I need to connect 2 pcs for a friend but can't seem to get it right. One card is a gigabit ethernet version the other is fast ethernet. The cable being used is a Cat5e. Patch cable. When bought told it was a crossover so wondering why it says patch on it. IP address different, subnet same and...

OCZ has only been around for a few years. Anyone had good/bad experiences with it and how it compares to other big names out there in terms of stability and performance?

Looks like there aren't many topics on the net regarding this stuff so I guess anything will do!

I'm not too keen on ocing ram to be honest with you. As for spending extra money, it would actually be cheaper for me to buy the 2.5 over the 3.0 but that means going from crucial to ocz whom I have no experience with. Crucial have always proved reliable when bought from them. Ideas?

I currently have 512mb of standard crucial mem in my system running at CL3 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=46420#pinfo If I were to change to the following type with CL2.5 OCZ Premier would I see much difference...

I built for the first time and am in the process of finishing. The amd 64 is a lot better to apply TP on than the XP versions where you hit the core..blimey.. and P4s are also v good for application. The HSF clip whacked me the nail hard when unclipping to inspect the paste..

so which component makes the most noise? would that be the psu?

I have a 3200 64 amd running on a thermaltake hs+fan with the supplied thermal grease. I also have a rad 9800 256 which I believe produces a fair amount of heat. I got 2x80mm fans on front and another 2 on back + 1 on side of case? Is this too many? The CPU seemed to run with case open and the 4...

How about moving house?

This is getting to me a bit now. I bought need to attach 5 case fans rated at 12V and about 0.17A each to a 600W power supply. I can either a) connect them to the mobo from one fan connection and then make a chain of them using the molex connecters which are already on the fans or b) attach...
