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...

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...

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 the screen...

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 dbd
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...
