I decided to go with the iMac due to the fact that I perform 99% of my work at my desk, and price. For not much more than the price of a mac mini, you can have a complete computer with an led monitor. It seemed like a great buy to me! This is not my first mac. In the past, I have had a power...

I purchased it at Best Buy tonight. I wanted a laptop for surfing the web, e-mailing, light photo editing, and for taking to class. I also wanted to be able to dual boot Ubuntu 8.10, and from everything that I have read, there is little to no issues with Dell's. Last, but not least, I wanted to...

Do you use it for everything in your daily computing activities (including on-line banking and purchasing on-line)? Or do you still need to use other Os's in order to get your daily tasks done? I thought it would be neat to see how home users use Linux in their daily computing activities, and...

I want to upgrade the video card in my system to a 4870 X2. I would not do anything else to my system at the moment, except upgrade the video card, and push my e2180 to 3.2 ghz. About 6 months from now, I would get a cross fire capable board and add a 4870 x2. In Addition, I would upgrade my...

Last week I was surfing the H forums, and my screen turned completely red. I could not do anything. I had to do a hard reboot on the computer, and it was fine. About 30 minutes ago, I was again surfing the H forums. My screen went completely black. Again, I had to do a hard reboot on the...

I am contemplating purchasing a 4870 x2. My current system specs are in my signature. What I am wondering is: Would I see a nice increase with the one 4870x2 over my 8800 GTS in my current setup? Will the rest of my system components hold it back? What I am wanting to do is get the card now...

I ordered two Cisco 2620 routers for my home lab off ebay. They are in great condition. The only question I have is: On one of the units, there is no bolt on the bottom of the power supply holding it in place. The unit functions fine, and the power supply does not move around at all in the...

Wow, this is the most streamlined anti virus that I have ever used. I downloaded the trial today, and I can immediately tell that my system is more responsive (system in signature). I am so impressed, I emailed them and asked them for a quote for my server and 2 workstations. I had been using...

As the title of my thread states, I am interested in purchasing some Cisco equipment for a home lab. I have taken CCNA 1 and CCNA 2 (however this was over a year ago) and just would like to confirm a couple things before I make my purchase. I am looking at purchasing: -2611 Router Version 12.3...

My grandfather has a sony desktop (not sure of the model, but I know it is a p4, 1 gb ram, xp mce, 160 gb hd). There is 3 partitions on the drive ( C:\ (system) D:\ (data) E:\ (System Restore Image) ). Sony only made the C:\ Partition 13 GB. Needless to say, he is out of space on this partition...

I recently upgraded 2 computers in my home network to vista. I was skeptical in doing so, because I was an early adopter of vista (got it within the first month that it was released). I had nothing but problems, and returned to XP for the last year or so. Specs of system 1 in sig. System 2...

My motherboard died on my server, which runs sbs 2003 OEM. They no longer sell the motherboard that is in my server (cheapo ECS AM2, believe me, I learned my lesson, never again from them). My question is, if I purchase another AM2 board, and explain my situation to them, will they activate my...

I am pretty sure on this, however I just want to make sure on this before I order... Vista Ultimate Upgrades come with 64 bit media correct? I want to be sure it does as I want to run the 64 bit version... This is what I have in my cart ready to order: Vista Ultimate Upgrade...

I tried vista when it was first released (home premium retail) and was considering giving it another shot via 64 bit ultimate. Has vista matured to the point where I can make it my primary gaming/productivity os and not have issues? I'm hoping microsoft fixed the activation bug, where it wanted...

I am trying to get my C:\ volume defragmented and I am having difficulty doing so. I have never had an issue before, so I am wondering why these files can not be defragmented, unless they are in use. I have pasted an excerpt from the defragmentation log of the files that can not be defragmented...

I have to say that I am quite impressed with the change. I went from: Athlon XP 4200+ Zalman 9500 CPU Cooler Asus Crosshair Motherboard 2 GB Corsair XMS Ram BFG Geforce 8800 GTS OC 640 MB 250 GB Maxtor 7,200 RPM Hard Drive Thermaltake 850 W Modular Power supply to: Intel E2180 @...

Is it possible to legally move this copy of windows to a computer that I just assembled? Yes, it would be taken off the computer it is currently on... I searched and all I could find is threads relating to OEM's, which this is not possible to do.

I see that new egg has 6400 X2's on sale for $179.00 I am wondering if this would be a worth while upgrade for me?

I am considering switching to Intel and upgrading to a Q6600 quad core. I would keep everything in my system, and just upgrade the Motherboard, CPU and RAM. My last Intel based computer was a Pentium 166 mhz w/ 128 mb ram, so I have used AMD processors for a quite a while. I would really...

I am not sure if this is the right section or not, so if it is not, I would appreciate it if a moderator could move it to the correct section. I am considering selling my powerbook G4 and I was wondering if I could get a rough estimate on what it is worth. Specs are as follows: 15"...

Hello. I have been browsing the forums lately and this seems like a forum with a wealth of information. I went to register and found out to my surprise that i had registered in 2004, lol. On to my question. I recently built a server computer using Windows Server 2003 SBS. After getting...
