I'm currently working on replacing my Klipsch 2.1 Pro-Media speakers. I have come to a point where I would really like to have 5.1 sound and I recently got the HT Omega Striker 7.1 audio card which happens to have SPDIF out. What I was thinking of doing was getting some sort of receiver that...

Ok, so I just re-installed windows XP and installed all the updates and what have you, then I installed the FAH SMP client. Did the whole MPI thing and started up the client (no -forceasm flag) and it did all the normal stuff, downloading work units and I put in all the client info. Then it gave...

Hey guys, I'm overclocking my Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 and so far have gotten it to 3.1Ghz stably. I was just wondering if anyone here has ever used the P5B-Deluxe or the 965 chipset and has any advice for me on how to go about it. Right now the setup is as follows: FSB: 345mhz Mult: 9x RAM...

Ok, so, the rig that is in my sig is currently at 3.2Ghz stable at 1.4Vcore...I want it to run faster but I have a catch. I am only running it on DDR2-667 right now because I haven't had the money to order the actual RAM that is in the sig (though it will be there soon). Until then, I would like...

I just built a C2D system and I'm currently running it off of a 5GB IDE drive. My P5B only has 1 IDE channel and I already have 2 drives that are my backup drives that will be using it so I need a SATA drive. I'm only looking for about 80GB but if the price is right I won't turn down something...

I'm looking to extend the life of my 939 rig and eventually turn it into my LAN rig once I get my C2D system finished as my main desktop machine. I have an Opteron 148 in it right now that I usually keep around 2.7Ghz for temperature purposes, but I want to get a dual core for it so that it will...

Ok, I'm a little out of the overclocking loop as far as it goes for C2D overclocking. The last hardware I bought is what is in my sig and that was over 2 years ago and I overclocked it and stopped staying up to speed with the new hardware that I could not afford. Long story short, I can now...

I'm looking for a 22" widescreen LCD to replace my two aging and hulking 17" CRT monitors. I was looking at the BenQ FP222W because it was pretty cheap and is a good brand. Anyone want to try to steer me to something else or more towards this one? I am looking for opinions from owners or people...

Hey guys, it has been a while since I have posted so forgive me if this was posted recently, I through some of the recent articles and didn't find it so hopefully this isn't a repeat question. I do digital mixing using ProTools M series and the M-Audio FireWire Solo. I use Klipsch Pro-Media...

Ok, so today I was telling my dad about my plans for making my beast P180 machine a smaller, more managable Qpack or MicroFly with 1TB of HDD space. I guess this peaked his interest because not 2 hours later he came to me and wanted to know if he could maybe get me to make him an HTPC to hook up...

I just got a laptop to help myself stay organized through college and saw an article on Digg linked to 7 apps to help you take notes and stay organized. Well in that list, which is here for those interested, it lists some good suggestions for apps used to take notes, but the only one that seemed...

Ok, I'm thinking this is obvious but I have never owned a C2D so I am asking just to make sure. At full load my cores are running really hot, I'm talking wow...that shouldn't do that kind of hot. Core0: 76C Core1: 78C This happens when I run Prime95 for only about 5 minutes. There are...

I just got my first C2D processor and this i was reading some stuff about how the AMD processor should have a patch for it to fix the affinity problems encountered when playing certain single threaded games...do you need to get some sort of patch like this for Intel processors as well???

Possibly looking to sell the rig that is in my sig, minus the hard drives, PSU and Video card. I'm looking for pricing opinions from other users on how much they think the stuff would be worth if I were to resell it. I'm thinking of getting rid of this stuff and upgraded to a decent C2D system...

I'm having issues with my keyboard on my new Dell E1505 laptop. I can get everything to work just fine on it but for some reason I can not get the Delete key and the down arrow to work on the keyboard. I know that the keyboard works because when I had windows installed on it when the laptop...

Im having a problem installing Ubuntu 6.10 on my laptop. I just got a new Dell E1505 and it has an Intel C2D processor and 2GB of RAM with an ATI mobility X1400. For some reason it just sits at the live cd loading screen and does nothing and then the scrolling bar freezes after you hear the cd...

I started following the progress of Enlightenment release 17 back about 8 months ago and the way they make it seem on the site is that it is an extremely unstable, very un-usable desktop environment at the moment and that they strongly recommend 16 over 17 at this moment. My question is, does...

I'm going to be getting a set of Klipsch Promedia 2.1 speakers and was wondering if there would be any benefit to adding a PCI sound card to my system with these speakers. Right now my DFI board has onboard 7 channel Nvidia audio, but will that give me the sound quality needed to do the Klipsch...

My friend offered me a trade. These speakers and some cash for my Opty 148. I was thinking of getting the Klipsch ProMedia series speakers after Christmas, but this seems like a pretty good deal. My question was, how much of a sound quality difference is there from these to the Klipsch...

I have a Dell Inspiron 3500 that I am working on for a neighbor and they wanted the RAM upgraded among other things so I looked up the specs for what it took and ordered 2x128mb sticks of SODIMM PC133 RAM. I realized that the computer takes PC-66. So I thought, well usually the RAM just down...

Just wondering if any of you all have seen this yet. Ubuntu Released 7.04 today as an Alpha. Screen shots are here for those interested For those who already knew about it, has anyone tried it yet? How is it? The final release date is slated for April of next year.

I just got Ubuntu 6.10 (upgrade from 6.06 that I previously had) and I am trying to get my dual monitors to work with the proprietary Nvidia drivers setting "twin view". I tried using the Ubuntu forums tutorial on how to do this however, I did it and the only result I got was a new resolution...

I'm looking to get some new speakers to replace the 2.1 crappy speakers that just died on my a few weeks ago. I'm looking to try to spend under $100 but I want something that gives good quality sound with a good amount of bass ability. I'm looking for either 2.1 of 5.1 speakers (I said 2.1...

I just went on newegg.com and searched to see how much the 939 X2 3800+ chips were now and they don't exist!? Can this be true?

Where can you get replacement fuses for FSP group PSUs? I read the fuse and it said 12A 250V on the silver cap. I also can't see a way to tell if this fuse is dead since the glass cylinder is white...is there a way to see inside of them?

I came across an old PIII 500mhz slot1 processor and motherboard. I have been doing a little research on this board and processor and it turns out that I have an Asus P2B-VT. It appears from looking at the BIOS that it was an old HP at some point in its life. I am currently downloading the most...

I recently decided that I wanted to find out what week my processor was, so i took of my heatsink and here are the numbers i found on the top of my opteron 148 in the order they appear on the processor IHS. OSA148DAA5BN CACJE 0601VPBW 1397344A60638 I need help deciphering this to find...

I am taking a flight next monday to go home from college and I realized that I lost my DS lite charger somewhere in the move to my apartment. I need a new charger for it urgently. If I don't get a response by thursday I will just go ahead and let this thread die because that means I have already...

I was looking at the NV Silencer 5 Rev. 3 to put on my 7600GT. The only thing that concerns me is that the cooler is only listed for the 6800, 7800 and 7900 series cards. I looked at the cooler however and noticed that the mounting screws are lined up the same as they are on my card and that the...

I recently acquired a motherboard and processor from a garage sale that I'm trying to determine the socket type of so I can get a new processor for it. Its a Duron processor @ 350mhz that uses PC100 RAM. It has the really old type of slots, I think they are called IDE slots, but im not sure...

So, Today I discovered a little tool called TMods BIOS cd. I load this up, and start to play with the new BIOSs that are available through this CD that are designed for my motherboard. Well, all is well until I installed this BIOS and then was testing it to see how far I could get the FSB using...

I'm looking for some 128mb sticks of PC100 RAM. They need to be the old type that have the two notches on the bottom on the side with the pins. I'm also looking for some inexpensive, but working, 2.1 speakers. Looking for reasonable prices on both. So if you have some amazing Logitech 2.1...

Nevermind figured it out, premature post.

I just re-installed windows and I used to have a tab under properties when I right clicked a folder that was called permissions but I do not have that tab any more. How can I get that back? I need to take ownership of all my old files from my previous install, but I need that tab to do it.

throw my computer out the window! It all started today when my computers video card started doing some weird funky shit. Every so often the screen would freeze and I had to right click the mouse to get it to refresh the screen. So I re-installed the video drivers to see if that would fix it...

Every time I download the 93.xx drivers for my 7600GT from nvidia.com the installer says that the .exe is corrupt and can not continue. At first I thought that the one I had on my hard drive was just corrupt. However, when I re-downloaded the installer, it was once again corrupt. I downloaded it...
