I've picked up in the last 3 months a decent 256mb 6800GT AGP card, and have a gig of PC3200 memory less than 9 months old. I currently run an Athlon XP 2400+ oc'ed to 2Ghz on an Asus Nforce 2 Deluxe board. I have around $200-250 cash to upgrade, or I can stay where I am. The question is...

Let me confess. I'm cheap...Well, poor too. I'm trying to squeeze every last bit out of my Athlon XP system, which is running a 2400+ and a gig of memory. I have a 9700 Pro in it right now, and it seems fine. I've skipped, oh, about three generations of video cards, since the games have been...

I am running an XP 2400+ oc'ed to 2gig and 166mhz FSB, with a 9700 Pro. I currently have 512mb PC2700, running at 333mhz. It's all on an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe. I'm happy as it is, and usually use it to play games such as EQ2, Doom3, Half-Life 2, etc. I purchased a gig of PC3200(2 x 512mb)to...

I have DVD burning software(Sonic MYDVD), and my wife (the dance teacher) got a DVD from the cameraman. I'd like to rip the video from the DVD, then burn it in different ways to give to the children. What is the easiest/cheapest way to rip the DVDs to hard drive? It has no encryption.

My wife's computer at work came up Friday as, :"Invalid System Disk, press any key to continue." I took it home, and put in a boot disk to get to DOS(It's a Windows 98 computer). The hard drive seems fine, no errors or anything, and the C partition is still there. There were two files there, a...

I've had this setup for over a year. 9500 Pro, 512mb RAM PC2700, A7N8X-E, 2400+, 350w PS. I played EQ2 for about 4 months, and then skipped it for a few months. I updated ATI Drivers to the newest rev. . Something is happening now that never happened before. I'll be in the middel of the game and...

Was reading a retro game site today, and I thought of a game we had played on a TRS-80 in Geography class, circa 1983ish. It was a sailing text type game on a TRS-80, Model III or IV, not sure. Basically, the point was to use a star chart to navigate from the old world to the new world, find...

OK. I'm a gamer on a budget, at least for now. My big game currently is Everquest 2. My current system is an Athlon Thoroughberd B 2400+ clocked to 166 FSB, 512MB pc2700, and Asus A7NX-E, an Antec 350 power supply in an LANboy case, and an ATI 9500 Pro. I recently got a used 21 inch monitor for...

I'm replacing a failing Hard Drive on an HP machine. Couldn't clone the drive, either because of the hidden HP Recovery Partition, or because of the failing drive. So, I tried using my OEM Windows XP CD and the HP's KEy, and got a clean install of XP on the new Hard drive now. The question...

Just saw an article over on the inquirer.net about the last socket A shipping from AMD. This socket has been around forever, and every one of my systems have been built with it(I still get a sweaty brow every time I clip on the heatsink, darn open core!!!). I'm sorta sad to see it go. Sure, the...

My wife's company is moving a business, and they are tasked with disposal of two servers, one unkown, and one sun server. I've yet to see them, but I assume they are less than three years old. Do these have any value, parts wise? I assume you could canabalize memory and such, but you could...
