    what did you take to college?

    A laptop is nice for having on campus to use between classes if there is wireless access or what have you, but you will definitely want a desktop in your dorm. It is much eaiser to write papers and such on a desktop (i dont care what your major is, you will be writing papers) Sitting crouched...

    Will we ever see this?Or am i off my rocker?

    sorry but that is not at all accurate. although it is true that an object will fall at the same rate if it starts from 1 foot or a thousand feet, it accelerates at 9.8 meters per second squared, it doesnt constantly fall at a speed of 9.8 meters per second. Meaning every second the object...

    Best way to partition my hard drive

    Drive 1: C:\ OS and apps D:\ Data Drive 2: M:\ Media (songs, pictures, videos) That is my exact setup. Having the OS and applications on a separate partion is a bad idea. I have tried it and it's just a pain in the ass. First of all, if you need to reinstall the OS the programs aren't...

    describe your mac mini setup!

    well, i finally took the plunge and ordered my mini. I went with the base model and upgraded to 512mb of ram, airport + bluetooth, and the bluetooth keyboard and mouse set. My question for you current, or soon to be mac mini owners is: how do you have yours set up? Are you using a kvm with your...

    Install windows without a cdrom?

    Hook up a USB CD-ROM to the laptop. Boot into Windows. Insert XP CD into CD-ROM. When prompted, select "Install Windows XP" yes, you can install Windows from within Windows. The computer will reboot and launch into setup mode and will continue to read from the USB CD-ROM. I had...

    iPod Shuffle is the cats arse!!!!

    I got the 512mb shuffle too. It's really sweet how you plug it in, open iTunes, and select "auto fill" and it will fill it up with random songs from your library. I love my shuffle, but sometimes I wonder if I will ever use my 15gb iPod again :confused: :(

    Just an FYI. The remote desktop client is available in XP home, but you cannot set up an XP home box as a TS server.

    T41, mini pci, built in antenna

    i bought my t41 without wireless and upgraded later. when you open it up to install the card there will be two antenna attachements(one runs up each side of the lcd) No problem at all. dont be afraid to push down a little on the antenna ends to get them to snap onto the card though.

    huge scare today...

    So my Athlon 64 3000+ has been showing up with 50C idle temps so today I decided to reapply some arctic silver 5 again for the 3rd time. So I unlatch the stock HSF and it doesnt seem to want to budge. So I pull on it a little bit and sure enough it pulls free. But then I notice the CPU is NOT in...

    Radon9600xt

    I got the ATI 9600xt from zipzoomfly for $155 which included free 2 day shipping. Yeah you can get it cheaper but I wanted to go with the ATI brand. I have no problems playing Doom 3 at 1024x768 on medium quality. It's an alright mid-range card, but if you can afford the extra 70 or so bucks I...

    Scary n00b question...

    RMA isn't strictly for repair or replacement. You also need an RMA if you are returning the product for a refund, which is what I was planning on doing to my ati 9600xt in order to get a geforce 6600gt. Of course you usually only have 30 days to return a product for a refund.

    why is my 3000+ running so hot?

    Best upgrade path?

    with 700 you can almost build a new pc, as long as you dont need a case, keyboard, mouse or monitor. You can easily price out a nice cpu, mobo, ram and video card that will blow your current set up away for 700. Better yet, sell your current components on ebay and you will have closer to a...

    Computer wont recognize two cd drives...

    Why dont you put both drives on the master channel, with the jumpers on one set to master, and the other set to slave. or cable select. your choice.

    why is my 3000+ running so hot?

    I definately removed the stock thermal pad that came on the HSF. And I followed the arctic silver instructions precisely. Is it possible that the HSF is mounted backwards? It seems to me that it will mount either way...

    why is my 3000+ running so hot?

    I have the AMD 64 3000+ Newcastle processor with the stock hsf mounted in an ABIT NF8 motherboard. My BIOS is averaging ~ 51C idle, and ~54 under load. I am using arctic silver 5 and made to follow the application instructions closely. I have also tried re-mounting the heatsink with a new...

    **Opinions** - before i buy new PC tomorrow

    I would go with this motherboard: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=240155 I have it and love it. it's only a few bucks more, and includes free 2 day shipping. I personally think ABIT is a better company, and this mobo includes gigabit lan, IEEE 1394 as well as...

    Do SATA hard drives use more power than IDE?

    I am upgrading my system and am thinking of adding a 36 gig raptor to my set up and using my 60 gig 7200rpm IDE drive as secondary storage. If I am going to run an Athlon 64 3000+, ABIT NF8 motherboard, 2 optical drives, and these two hard drives, will I be able to do it with my 350 Watt Antec...
