Strange disappearance (at least to me) by

lady running Windows XP SP3. She called yesterday and said that it
would not boot and kept saying that it could not find the hal.dll
file. I went over and tried to reinstall it using the Windows CD and
Repair Console. No joy.

Just deleted my Newegg shortcut by
John Doe
I know this will rub some people the wrong way, but...
I don't know what Newegg's problem is. For a year or more, Newegg
is the only website on the Internet that is screwed up in my
Firefox browser. Yes, I know some people use Firefox and it looks
fine, but that doesn't mean anything to me,...

OK you use old 20 pin PSU? by
Allen Drake
I have an old PSU that only has a 20 pin connector. I connected it to
a board and it ran fine but when it started I got a message that MS
recommended the 24 pin connector. I removed and replaced it but is
there a way I can add that extra 4 pins and use the power supply?

lapped CPU for better cooling? by
Orson Cart
I saw a Core 2 Quad for sale online, with the heatspread
lapped for better cooling. It has been machined right down, so
you can't read any numbers.
It is a Q6600, but the seller claims it overclocks to 3830 MHz
with this butchering. That would be 11.5 x 333 MHz ... hmmm
do you believe it?

Concave monitors? by
John Doe
I enjoy having a 27 inch (widescreen?) monitor. I think having a
wider monitor is better than messing with two monitors. However,
it can't get much wider and still be easy to view up close. I
suppose there is a formula for how much a concave screen would
increase the viewing surface. Maybe the view...
