I have an old Compaq 2.5Ghz computer which works fine, and I plugged a PCI radeon graphics card into it, and it won't post. The PCI slots otherwise work fine. The power just blinks and dies. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?

I just bought a Dell Vostro 1000 and want to replace the screen with a WUXGA panel (like this one from eBay). My question is, should this process be close enough to this guide for the Vostro 1500 to figure out on my own? I've put together computers but otherwise have limited experience. Also...

I have the budget to choose the Core Duo 2.16ghz proc over the 2.0ghz one. Is there a recognizable difference between the two processors? The difference in cost is about $175. I will be using the notebook for about 4 years. Thanks in advance.

Remember you could always use a PCI card for tv-out.

I've tried turning my firewalls off and I still got the errors...hrmmm. Thanks for the link though.

Thanks for the response. Could it be that port 6881 is closed? When I test ports 6881-6889 in Azureus I get "NAT Errors." I need to watch 24 eps 1 and 2 before 8:00!

Hi. A few of my BT downloads were going at 110kb/s and now have suddenly dropped off to 3kb/s at the end (~95%). Is this normal or is there a remedy?

Which of these processors has the most value for my money? AMD Sempron 64 3100+ Palermo 800MHz FSB 256KB L2 Cache Socket 754 Processor - Retail AMD Athlon AMD Sempron 64 3100+ Palermo 800MHz FSB 256KB L2 Cache Socket 754 Processor - Retail AMD Athlon 64 2800+ ClawHammer 800MHz FSB 512KB...

Thanks. Are there any other benefits besides temp and upgradability?

I'm looking at an mATX system and I can save some money by getting a 3400+ newcaste over a 3000+ Venice. Is S939 worth it?

The Shins own. I'm trying to get my mom to buy a mini, heh.

What kind of performance can I expect out of an Athlon XP 2700+, 512MB ram, and a 6600GT AGP? Could I play, for instance, Tribes Vengeance or HL2 at 16x12/highest/noAA/noAF?

It takes one person with the right mind.

Make a GMC Neo Classic w/ normal front bezels and w/out the power/reset led's

Listening tests say Envy24 (av-710) > Audigy 2 :o
