Again? How many times will you post this? Why do you insist on trying to compare a $150 Intel processor with a $51 AMD processor? Compare the P4 2ghz to an Athlon XP2800+ 333 which is close in price. The clear choice is the XP2800+...

Hi, I want to use one of my old pc's (pentium pro 200) as a router/internet server (currently I have a Pentium 133/32MB doing the same thing). However this one hasn't got any power saving features so it won't turn of the harddisk after a certain period. I wonder what is the life expectancy of a...

Hello are there any online computer seller than provide very good service and ships components internationally? Thanks.

Hi all, I was hoping if any of you know or can direct me to a diagram that outlines what the pin outs are to the on-board card front connector pins. I think these pins are for the older Live Drive that was available - I was hoping to use some of them for a front panel mic, headphones or line-in...

I am about to upgrade my computer. However, I already have a 512Mb PC2100 chip (266Mhz ?). I was keen on getting an Asus A7 Deluxe board + a new AMD 2600 Barton chip (running at 333Mhz). I understand that the memory will be compatible, but ideally I should be running PC2600 memory (333Mhz)...

I am building a computer for my daughter. I am an experienced computer builder. I have all the parts necessary to build her a decent system, but I have not been in the loop lately in the area of video cards. She will do some gaming, but I don't want to go high end. Can some of you suggest a video...

Daughter is telling me left channel sounds muted. She'll turn the power button on the speakers off/on and will help once in a while. I unplugged the line out,(from the box) and plugged it back in which seems to help 100% of the time, but will still act up on occasion. Line out goes to sub,...

Mine is ENERMAX front panel ref UC-A07FATR2 (Thermal control panel). I hate cross-posting but this appears to be an alert since you can damage your hardware. This week I fried my CD burner because of the inversion of the +12 & +5V wires at the output of the ENERMAX module T-Power cable, my CD...

Hello, My computer is resetting without warning, sometimes during a program (video editing, encoding - processor intensive stuff) and sometimes immediately after turning it on for the first time fn the day. I'm at a loss as to decide why. Anyone any thoughts? I'm leaning towards the PSU not being...

So I suppose I think I am ready to 'kick it up a notch' ,and build a LAN server. After exhuastive months of research, I finally settled on a design; dual xeons, lotsa ram, Windows Server 2003, and then I got to this RAID thang... well anyway let me ask away. 1) The old IDE vs. SCSI Raid deal - I...

Hi guys quick and simple question - Can I use an INTERNAL LVD (interleaved) 68 pin cable to connect external devices? The connectors fit 8-) I am using it for 40 MB/s SE speeds - any reasons why I should consider myself dumb? I never played with external devices so for me this is all new.

Hi, Ive just purchased one from Ebuyer, which cost £23 and it works fine switching from one pc with windows xp to the other which has windows 98/xp & mandrake. However it doesnt have USB so I just switched to a ps/2 optical mouse. "Firejack" wrote in...

I need some kind of filter... something to go between my soundcard and stereo receiver to prevent spikes. Not sure if such a thing exists, but here's my story and hope someone can help: My soundcard is connected directly to my receiver's VCR input (I use it as an AUX) via RCA cables. The problem...

Hi I am looking into building a new PC around a AMD ATHLON XP2600. I have a few questions that I hope some of you can help me with:- 1. Motherboard, which one? I have looked at a few but don't know which to choose. Recommendations please. 2. What size PSU for the processor/system I will be...
