Thanks for the input everyone. So I went ahead and purchased it. He purchased it from newegg in December 08' and provided me the receipt and everything. Waiting for my case to come in to try it out, but the guy seemed trustworthy. The reason I went with the q6600 and not the newer socket...
Thanks for your response aZn_plyR.
I don't plan to overclock it, just use it at stock. If it books up and works, BUT he's overclocked it, should it sway my decision at all in purchasing it? What are the potential problems with purchasing an overclocked CPU?
What do you think about this...
Hi everyone,
I'm planning to purchase an Intel q6600 CPU from craigslist. I was wondering what I should be concerned about?
Seller has it listed at $100 and he even adds in the description that it is g0 and its VID is 1.28. He says its in mint condition and includes stock heatsink fan...
16.7 million colors? I'm getting one in tomorrow at my dorm. Currently using an Acer AL2223WD at my dorm. How should I compare them? I have a Dell 2407fpw SPVA at home.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if I could get some help on this. I got this monitor and it's hooked up to my Dell inspiron 6400 with an ATI x1400 video card. It displays fine, but when I want to play CS, I usually play on 1280x800. Outputting 1280x800 from my laptop makes it stretch...
Hi big_kel,
How did you get Dell to honor that? How long have you had the A02? I've had my A02 since october, and it sucks with no 1:1 pixel mapping. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi, thanks for everyone's input.
Yes, I have connectivity before the symptoms return. The reason the screen shot is acquiring network address is because I attempted an ipconfig /release, /renew and it didn't work. Before though, it would say "Status: Connected" during the extreme packet...
Hey guys,
I would like to say thanks in advance for any help and advice. I just got a replacement XPS 700 due to shorts in the motherboard on the previous XPS 700.
I formatted my whole computer and did a fresh reinstall of Windows Media Center from the cds Dell provided me. I updated all...
Hey unhappy_mage,
This drive is just running my operating system. I have a secondary harddrive, a Western Digital 500GB Sata hard drive.
I think it doesn't matter, but is their any advantages/disadvantages to having both hard drives in my system of the Western Digital brand? I didn't...
Hey guys,
I have two brand new harddrives and was wondering what everyone's opinion is on which one to keep for my XPS 700. I got a replacement XPS system for my previous system due to some problems and the new one shipped with a samsung drive.
I'm looking for a decision between the...
Hey guys,
Thanks for any help in advance. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
I just tried watching my DVDs on my 2407fpw through DVI from a 7900gs and the video is dark...under certain circumstances.
Let me try to clear up some things so that it will be easier for you nice people...
Hey guys,
Thanks for any help in advance.
I just wanted to confirm some aspect issues.
I had the Gateway FPD2185w 21" widescreen and when you had a video input of 1400 x 1050 resolution, the monitor OSD let you choose the 1:1 aspect ratio with the black bars on the side.
Is it safe...
I find that since the component inputs aren't even half decent, that is ridiculous. I'm spending in excess of $700 on a monitor advertised with many features yet one major feature doesn't function correctly. :(
How well do you guys think dual 7900gs SLI will support a game at the native resolution of 1920x1200 on this monitor? Let's say F.E.A.R or HL:2?
Thanks for any help.
Staples sells a stand, an Ergotron Neo-Flex LCD Stand very similar to the stand that came on my Gateway FPD2185w. The stand was very sturdy, easy to use. Only downside was I didn't think it looked good aesthically.
Good luck!
You don't need the previous owner's information to file a transfer of warranty. All you need is the Express Service Code and Service Tag from the back of the monitor. It takes about 5 days to process and you'll be emailed with the status. I was able to warranty exchange a dell printer I got...
The Gateway FPD2185w 21" widescreen has component (in addition to vga, dvi, composite, svideo, usb 2.0 4 port hub). Retail $600 but easily had for $500.
