So I was wondering if anyone might have a clue, because I can't for the life of me figure out what else to do: I have this old pc setup (Athlon, Asus board with Nvidia 6150...) as a TV with an equally old PVR-150. It's been working fine for years, I barely watch TV so don't need more than basic...

Ah yes, thank you, winsock is one term that was eluding me. It's been a while since I had to deal with this stuff. And I probably should have mentioned that Vista is the OS in question. Oops.

Apologies for the hopefully unnecessary thread but... I'm trying to fix someone's computer and have very little access to the machine (a sick person in the house, long distance, can't take it with me) - so I would like to go back as prepared as I can. If anyone has any experience with this...

*edit: never mind, way to mis-read, or not read, the last part of the op... :D SpeedFan, as much as I don't like it, will do that. As a matter of fact, GPU and core temps are the only things it will get from this mobo (no fan speeds, hdds, etc).

What on earth do you guys do with these boards? "Runs happy at 60"??? Mine has never been above 46 with residual air flow, and I haven't even changed the thermal compound. Weird...

G-E as well, with e6750 and 2GB (for now) graphics 4.7 gaming graphics 5.5 *edit: 32bit, and everything stock

Uhm... which one is wrong - month or year?

So I'm one of the many here that jumped on this board couple years ago when it came out. Used it in a gaming box with a dedicated sound card. I have now "promoted" it to work-only duties, and in the process removed the sound card and switched to the onboard audio. .... aaaand it turns out...

Thanks. I was worried as I was reading through this thread that I might be the only one who would say that... ;) I wanted to laugh at him at first, but then it just kept coming and coming... now he/she/it is just sad. Now, I generally ignore trolls and will get right back to it, but I do want...

So I RMA'd a brand new laptop HDD last week, the first time for me with WD... after all was said and done, guy on the phone tells me they will send me a "re-certified" drive. Needless to say, I was royally peeved for obvious reasons - but long story short, I got the replacement drive today...

Could anyone recommend a good digital voice recorder, preferably from first-hand experience? I'd like to use it in a small classroom environment to record lectures (for the most part). ** I had a chance to use one of the Sony's midrange models and wasn't quite impressed. Used it to record an...

Hm? What's that? An uber-ugly and useless case? What's the point... :rolleyes:

he doesn't - he's asking if there is such a thing... :cool: and I don't know of any such ps

Probably not the smallest choices, but all things considered (including internal layout) the only 2 mATX cases that I like are Silverstone TJ-08 and Apevia X-QPack2 (and possibly Silverstone SG-02, if you can find it). Then of course it all depends on what and how much H/W you're planning to...
