You buy 2 x 256mb DELL PC100 SDRAM for 6 bucks a stick. 18 bucks with shipping. I remember paying 125 bucks for 8mb of the same back in 92-93. Amazing! -- The world's least questioned excuse for missing work.... "the voices in my head told me to stay home and clean guns today". Oooookay...

Considering a computer upgrade from an AMD64 754 pin system (AGP) to a AMD64 X2 4800. Is SLI stable enough and offer enough of a performance boost to justify 2 512MB 7950's, or would one 1GB 7950 offer about the same performance (or more stability)? The motherboard would be an ASUS A8N 32 SLI...

....about half way through building a new machine, and want to figure out what to do with a TV tuner card. I already have a Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 Motherboard and Gigabyte dual DVI video card that I want for dual monitor support. The MB has 2 PCIe x16 slots, 1 PCIe x8 slot, 2 PCIe x1 slots, and 2...

I have a FoxConn mother board, AMD Duron 1300 cpu with big fan/heat sink. One WD 60GB hard drive, one Belkin wireless network card. Antech 300w supply, which I've swapped with some generic 350w supply. Had Asus nvidia GeForce4000MX board, swapped it with my old trusty GeForce2. If I run...

thats awesome. if any of your parts are faulty, just replace em! good luck. keep us posted on what it was.

Indeed. We will see. I guess I can try calling both tech supports. Both are technically still under warranty.

I need some advice on a computer I built about 2 years ago. The MB is an Abit NF7 ver.2 w/an XP2200 cpu, 256 mg ram, slow generic 10 gig harddrive, 420 PSU, old CD burner, player, XP Pro (a plus), no SATA but an open PCI slot or two. The case is a roomy Antec atx though. It's been ok for my...

What happens if I close all the point of entering of the air in my case? Does air still enter through the point of exit of the fans? Or does it implode? Thanks

I have a dvd I made -- plays fine in my dvd player (hooked to my tv). When I try to play it on my computer's dvd-drive, it doesn't even recognize that there's a disc in there. Please advise. Thanks! -- TW

Is it wise to buy a socket 939 processor now before they become scarce. I heard even the am2 are getting hard to get and whats comming out next? Ty

Can someone walk me through how to upgrade my bios? It's for an asus a8n-e. Use really stupid text as I've been trying for a month now and I'm totally confused. Thanks, Bob

I used the Live! card for a few years and found it only worked best with the driver that XP installed. I didn't install anything from Creative except to manually install their MP3 player off their disk. I would say get the Audigy 2 ZS or the X-fi and spare yourself any more headaches. And get...

Hello All, I was reading through revviews of beige pc cases on newegg and nothing really stood out. Does anyone have a recommendation for a beige case? I know sonata is the best but unfortunately, they are black only. Thanks.

good point. mobo malfunction is another possibiliy. computer hardware is very sensitive to shocks.

it might me the vid card. since the heat sink was so heavy, it might have damaged the main video chip.

Yeah, that's what I've been figuring. I dread having to call tech support about this. Anyone else have any opinions? The rebooting and needing to cut power is what was making me think possibly MB.

I figured I'd see What you guys think. Ok, so on my way back to school this year, my computer was upright in that car for travel. After arriving, the system ran fine for the first week or so, then I started getting graphics artifacts every once in a while. Thinking it was something on the OS, I...
