Thanks guys. For some reason, I thought there would be more products available. I think dobro (or something like that) sells something but it's quite expensive.

Hello, Can anyone recommend a good external drive (or enclosure) that I can use as a torrent server? I've seen some before, but I've never really been interested in it till now. I'm looking for something that can run without having the computer on (obviously being external), and something...

Hello. I can't seem to get the audio working for my motherboard. My headphones work fine connected to the usb, but my speakers do not work when connected to the 3.5mm jacks at the back. I'm pretty sure I've installed all the drivers for the audio and I've checked that the speakers work on...

Hello. I've got a friend who just got a Dell which comes with 2 512 sticks. They'd like to upgrade to 4 gigs eventually. So, how much of a performance difference would it be to get ONE 2 Gig stick now and pair it with one of the 512. vs. Just putting one 2 gig in one bank. vs...

I've got a small desk and I just need the real estate. So I'm looking for a mini keyboard. I'm not a hard core gamer, but I do have Crysis, COD4 and Bioshock. I'm looking for recommendations on a wired or wireless mini keyboard. Whichever works best (guessing wired is probably better for...

I currently playing on Hardened. I just cannot pass the sniper/ferris wheel level. I must have tried at least 50 times now. I even tried to cheat hiding under a table and picking off people till the Heli came. But as soon as I step out, I've got grenades all over the place. I was having a...

Thanks. I'll get the third one then. My only little concern is if he has the second slot open. But it's a dell dimension, so i'm pretty sure that second slot is not being filled. Thanks again.

OK, one last question about the X2600PRO There are three HIS brands that are very similarly priced. Just want to pick the best one 256 MB, single slot, Core: 600 mhz Mem: 1000 mhz 512 MB, single slot, Core: 600 mhz Mem: 800 mhz 256 MB, Double Slot, Core 650 mhz, Mem: 1050 mhz Thanks

I seem to keep going back and forth between the X1650PRO and the X2600PRO. There's a $20 difference, and I guess in the end that's really not that much (since i'll be letting my friend get the rebate as well). Is the X2600 the updated X1650?

This one is looking very attractive for the price. I know it's not super crazy fast, but I think (I hope) it will be a good bump from his x300. Almost decision time.

:) oh, he's got an ATI X300. It came with the Dell desktop he got. He does need a PCI-E. I've never bought a refurb video card before. Are they a good bargain? I mean I know the prices look really tempting, but are they reliable? Keep the suggestions coming. I'll pick out one of...

He's currently got XP SP2

Thanks for the tips. Should I even consider DX10 capable cards at this price? He doesn't use Vista yet, but just thinking in advance.

So, looking for a gift. What's a good card for around $75? My friend doesn't game much, I think the only game he plays/played is Civilization. PCI-E Thanks

Thanks for responding. My system is stock. Unfortunately, I have not read enough (or understand enough) about overclocking. So, I didn't touch any of the voltage settings or anything like that. :) With that said, for some reason, I seem to have gotten it started. I did not do anything...

ok, I don't think it's the memory. I pulled the 2 gig I had in there and replaced with the other 2 gig and it booted fine. I swapped them back and forth and it booted up fine. So, I add the third 1 gig and it booted fine. Added the last 1 gig and booted fine. I reboot it (with 4 gig still...

**also posted in the general hardware since I was not sure where this should go http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1244101" So, I finally got my computer going. During the entire setup, I was using 2 gig of memory. After I was all done, I went ahead and installed the other two (same...

zipzoomfly has the E6550 (2.33) for $165 E6750 (2.66) for $190 Seeing how I just bought the E6550 for $200 I think it's these are pretty good prices.

So, I finally got my computer going. During the entire setup, I was using 2 gig of memory. After I was all done, I went ahead and installed the other two (same brand/speed). Windows won't boot. I kept on hitting the reset till it finally did. Checked the system info and it showed 3.7 Gigs...

Thanks, just wanted to double check.

Thanks. I just realized that after a little searching. Now, here's another problem. I now go to Set Up Windows. After it goes through all the checks there's the part where you hit F8 if you agree to the terms and conditions. I CANNOT HIT F8!!! All other keys seems to work (page up, page...

Hello, For some background you can check here http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1240086 Basically, my motherboard got fried so I ordered a new Gigabyte DS3L. While I was at it, went ahead and got new CPU. I wanted to transfer over my old system over to the new motherboard. The previous...

So, my brother just placed an order for this laptop. I configured it with the 2.2 Ghz processor and 128 Nvidia video card. And I'm going to buy him some memory, still debating on going 2 or 4 gigs. Anyway, even though he does not play games at all, he's been curious about Bioshock. So...

Yay, my order from newegg yesterday shipped. But I think it's not going to be here till Tuesday. This is going to be one long week of waiting.

THANKS! My order from mwave was in fact back ordered (till tomorrow). But I still cancelled it anyway and ordered from newegg. And saved myself $25. :) also verified with newegg. 5 more in stock and 400 more to arrive :)

+10 Which is about the number of times I've ordered from them. Their cables are very good quality.

Finally got an email from mwave "11/19/07-Your order has been verified, we are processing it at this time. Thank you for shopping with us." I'm not keeping my hopes up till I see a tracking number.

Ordered the 3870 from mwave on Sat morning. I've gotten confirmation that they have my order, but no info of shipping or anything yet. Wondering when I should start to worry if they actually have them in stock or not. Also, I assumed "White Box" meant retail packing, but I guess I shouldn't...

God, I hope not. I just ordered one from them.

I'm very tempted to get the 3850 because it's available and I'm not really a hard core gamer. i just want Crysis and COD4 to run with eye candy. Besides those two games, I really don't play any. BUT, I've got a feeling I'm going to regret not getting the 3870 for $40 more (assuming the $219...

Is there any difference at all between manufacturers? I was going to get the Sapphire since I've bought a Sapphire before, but as I was checking out, it gave me an out of stock error.

is Diamond (the brand) typically any good? They all seem to be the same (spec wise), so just curious if the manufacturer makes a difference in quality and Customer Service. Thanks. Oh, and I'm looking at the 3870's

I definitely bought new hardware just for Crysis. New CPU, Mobo and Ram. My old motherboard did die though, and I could have just replaced that and go on with my usual programs. But since Crysis was just around the corner I went ahead and ordered new stuff. Still waiting for a new Vid...

I'm really itching to get one of these cards :)

Yeah, memory prices right now are pretty good. Went ahead and ordered 4 gigs. I figure, sometime down the line, I'll probably upgrade the OS and I'll go 64 bit next time. :)

Oh man. Talk about throwing a monkey wrench in my plans. :(

Wait... I'll be using XP. Will that be a problem?

Ok, So, I did the most scientific thing I know to do in a situation like this. I flipped a coin! Heads Gigabyte, Tails Abit And it landed.... Heads. So, there you have it. Gigabyte it is. (seriously, I did flip a coin to make the decision :)) Thanks again for all your help and insights.

That was quick and easy. Thanks! :)

Do you think it will make a difference? I'm currently ordering 2 gigs, but if 4 will make a huge difference, then I'll scrape up another $60 or so for it. Thanks.
