Epson "ink is low" ripoff by
Stacey
Just a heads up, I'm never going to use/buy another epson printer after this
experience.
Bought a C84 for doing only B&W text printing. Seemed to have a big enough
black cart and 3 colors instead of just one color so I wouldn't have to
replace all the colors when one ran out if ever. I've always...

New PC Intel Or Amd by
JustMe
Hello,
I want to buy a new PC. Some friends and so told me:
* Don't chose an AMD, its less stable and gives more blue screens than an Intel and installing XP gives a lot of problems.
* The standard coolers from AMD make a lot of noise, Intel is a lot quiter.
What's true and what isn't?
I was...

AMD compared to Intel by
Tod
I've switch back and forth between Intel and AMD cpus for years.
Currently AMD has the best price/performance.
All the graphics card makers try to keep the cards compatible with AMD and
Intel.

Sempron warning by
Wes Newell
Don't get screwed by purchasing a new Sempron CPU. They aren't new. They
are just Tbred cores rated with a different benchmark suite to give then
higher PR (model) numbers. The fact is that the Spempron 2800+ ($107) only
runs at about the same perfomance level as the XP 2400+ ($53). And...

athlon xp 2800 - Ghz? by
BobTheCat
Hi,
I just ordered a replacement for my Dad's burned up 2800 AMD Athlon XP (fan
and heatsink fell off) with a new one.
He insistes that his previous CPU said "2.75 or 2.8Ghz" in the POST when he
booted his PC but the specs on the one I ordered says it's a 2.08Ghz CPU.
Are there different speeds...

visit any hard drive groups, and I know the folks here know what's going on
so I'll ask here...plus I have an AMD system :)

Hi folks. I've got some problems watching video and DVDs on my system
and I'm wondering what I need to do to get watchable performance? I
like to use the system to watch DVDs because of the high resolution of
the digital screen, and because I have the computer set up so I can see

Could this be a CPU bug? by
pass
Hello.
My computer is having this chronic problem which I believe is hardware
related. I've narrowed it down to either the CPU (Athlon Thunderbird 850
socket A) or the motherboard ( Asus A7V133-VM, VIA KM133 chipset)
The problem happens at random, but is more commonly 'provoked' when
there are...

Differences between Thunderbird, Palomino, Barton ? by
liaM
It seems possible to purchase Atlon XPs at equal PR ratings
yet different types......
What's different about them, say for a processor with a rating
of 1800 ?
Oh yes.. what does the + sign after the 18OO signify ? What are
series 6 or 8 athlons ?

Upgraded to AMD XP processor, now windows slower! by

Hi,
I have an Abit Kt7a mobo and just upgraded my 1.33 GHz processor to a
1800XP (happily running at 2GHz). The strang thing is that in Windows
(2000 Pro) when I ran the UT2k3 benchmark the FPS dropped by 5,
instead of going up because I now have a faster proccessor.
Currently windows sees it as an...

Big Oops! Please help a newbie by
Dave The Brain
Hi All!
Well, act in haste and repent at leisure goes the saying. I guess I
proved it this month. Bit of a cautionary tale.
For two years I had a Celeron 1.8 with 60 Gig hard drive and 256 RAM.
I got a quality sound card and a network card. It wasn't brilliant but
I was happy. Then we had a HUGE...
