Thanks man, I've been trying to get that game to work for 2 and a half years!!!!!

j/k
I don't even remember this post. LOL

What mobos are recommened for the Core 2 Duo? According the few reviews I read at Newegg many don't support overclocking; but it seems like everyone who reviewed the CPU itself is OC'ing them, so I wonder what boards they are using.

Damn, it's been a long while since I've posted here, and as long since I paid attention to hardware. Been happily plugging away at Microsoft products (living in Exchange/AD as of late on a global migration project). anyways....

I still have the box in my signature running at home as mainly a file ...

I'm looking for a new P4 (Socket 478) heat sink/fan that doesn't require me to remove the motherboard to install. My OEM cooler is getting a bit loud, I think the fan is crapping out, but I have NO desire to pull everything out of the computer to get the mobo out, all the cables and everything are ...

Anyone have a line on a good manufacturer and/or vendor of quality rackmount PC cases; something in the 1U-3U size?

I need to build a custom PC for my brothers band to interface with their Pro-Tools device, and they want the system loaded into their equipment racks to take to shows and record off ...

No question....Dell over Emachines any day.

I need to incorporate a CDONT Form into a website, and honestly I've been out of the HTML coding loop for a few years. I used to make sites with Notepad, but that's not going to cut it anymore :)

I've been looking at this Samsung Syncmaster 912N to replace my ancient Sony Trinitron Multisync 17sf CRT (nice monitor, but it's got a dead pixel, a dim row, and it's huge).

The only drawback I can see on the Samsung is it's 25ms response rate. I'm not a heavier gamer, in fact the xbox has taken ...

I just ordered all this from Newegg:

ASUS P4P800SE / $92.00
CPU P4/2.8EGHz 800M / $177.00
DDR CORSAIR 512MBx2 KIT / $158.00
SEAGATE 200GB SATA / $118.00
ANTEC SONATA / $95.99

That should last me for at least 2 years. My current system is still good enough in fact, but I got a new job so I'm gonna ...

Which HSF do I want for a Athlon XP Mobile (Barton)? The SLK900, SI91, or SI97?

Where can I get one too? Most places (including newegg) are sold out right now...

I'm about to build a new box and I was all set to order an Intel CPU and board, as I'm getting sick of the problems my Epox board is giving me lately. I don't care about OC'ing, I just want a stable rig that doesn't sound like a friggen street sweeper, but I looked around and it appears the latest ...

It's defintely been a while since I posted here, I don't even know WTF a 6600gt or x700xt is...LOL

Yeah...I'll probably spend the extra $$ on getting the memory up to 1GB if I do all this. The current box is running okay, but I've got a occasional hardware lockup that I'm trying to pinpoint.

shadrach

I'm planning to replace my current box (see my sig) with a modest system: Intel 2.8G, D865PERLX, SATA, 512MB DDR400, etc...

I was looking at getting an ATI 9600Pro or something in the under $150 price range, but I'm so out of the loop right now I don't have a clue on what card to get. I want ...

I got looked at RAM prices for the heck of it; haven't looked in a long time. I was thinking of adding another PC2700 DIMM to my system to take advantage of dual DDR. So I checked out crucial.com to price another stick of what I already have.

$120 for a chip I paid $70 for over a year ago ...

Played the CoD demo on my computer fine.

Just got the full game, installed off the CD's and rebooted. When choosing on a skill level after selecting New Game, the screen just refreshes back to the main menu. I can't start a new game.

I've already installed Directx 9.0b, and just upgraded to both ...

After a few years of Focal (RIP) G.Lite DSL and then sharing my neighbor's SBC DSL service, I'm now back to dialup. yuck.

I need to get some type of broadband service, and being 11000ft from the CO limits me from getting into these 3-6Mbps DL packages.

I'm thinking about just getting the $25/month ...

Another thing to watch out for on the Dell's is sometimes the PSU has a second fan on the side that is actually the CPU fan; there is a shroud that connects to it and covers the CPU heatsink.

Compare the shape and layout of your dead PSU to the pictures on new eggs site. Even if it looks good, you ...

Two words: Hacked XBox

He may go from 512 to 1GB later, so I told him get a single 512 then buy another identical chip if he wants more later.

A friend of mine is looking for a decentely fast system for about $600, so here's what I've come up with:

Raidmax Silver 10-Bay Mid-Tower - $40.00
Antec 430W TruePower 430 - $66.00
Intel 865GBFL Socket 478 Chipset - $99.00

This drive would mainly be so my brother can backup his vast DVD collection, since his roomate keeps losing/trashing the discs.... friggen tool...

Anyone else have input on this? I'm looking at the same drive.

Bad or empty. Check HP.com for and troubleshooting assistance, it's a pretty good resource for their printers.

I haven't built a new box since last year, so I'm out of the loop on the latest favorite hardware around here.

A friend wants me to spec out a computer for him:
- Around $600, only needs case and system, no monitor or accessories.
- Probably wants a P4 system, although I could sell him on an Athlon ...

Or pay $99 for Apple to do it for you:

Just bought a Samsung Yepp YP-910GS and it's got a built-in FM transmitter, among other stuff.

I just fired it up, but it's really neat so far

So the question dawned on me as to what would be a good LIGHT P2P application that will allow me to connect directly to him by name, browse his shared folder, and then download files.

Servers, FTP clients, and AIM are not really in response to the original question......with all these P2P apps ...

Sure he can, but that's not the point.

Besides, SMTP was never intended to handle large files transfers, it's soo slow.

I can't believe I never tried to do this before, but I have a friend on a broadband connection that I want to get some digicam images from him, off his computer.

Funny thing is he's like the only one I know that doesn't have a web or ftp server or some other geek-setup like all of us in the ...
