    IT Professionals - Advice needed

    Hello, if you're an IT professional I could use some advice. I graduated from a local private university with a degree in information technology four years ago. I'm fairly computer literate (can diagnose most problems, change hardware, build pcs from scratch etc), however I have no...

    Best netbook available?

    I bought the 1000h. AT the time when I purchased it (8/21) it was the only 10 inch netbook with a 6 cell battery that was available. In the 10 inch market, get the wind or the 1000h. Whatever is cheaper, i don't think you'll lose out with either one. However the 1000h is easier to upgrade...

    asus 1000h or msi wind??

    I have a 1000h, I chose it over the wind simply because the wind did not have a 6 cell battery available for shipping at the time, and the touchpad is supposedly not a synaptics. The 1000h does not have a synaptics either, however it supports multi touch scrolling. At any rate the 1000h is...

    Vista Home basic -> XP

    Hey Everyone, Recently I was gifted an acer 5050 (refurbed deal from buy.com - $400). It comes with a 2.2 ghz turion 64 (supposed to be 2ghz but I got hooked up somehow), 1 gig of ram, integrated graphics. It's actually a decent laptop even though build quality isn't the greatest. Anyway it...

    Recommended PDA for college students on the go

    I'd check out a NOKIA N800 internet tablet. Sweet size, long stand by battery life and overall awesome device. The only downside is no office software just yet but it'll come eventually. It's ~$350 online. Look into it, I think it's a much better internet device than a PDA, it may...

    WOW & Macbook - Better perforamnce in windows or OS X?

    I think it has to do with the amount of ram - If you only have 512 MB it will only use 64? If you have 1gb more it'll use up to 224. That would be my guess since integrated graphics use your ram if I'm not mistaken.

    Disable 1 core?

    This is for my work. Apparently the software we write is slowed down when using a dual core (I haven't witnessed it firsthand, but that's what the boss tells me). So we're trying to figure out if disabling 1 core is possible.

    Hey, I just installed open office on a friends pc over the weekend and ran into the same problem. The OS X DVD has x11 on it, so I just installed it from there. Also you don't really install the program, as much as you just mount the image and the drag the icon to the application folder. I...

    This Just In, MACBook Black!

    I saw one of these at microcenter last night, and they are amazing! The design is gorgeous and the size is just right. It's probably the design i like the most (even better than the T serieis!), it would be perfect if it had discrete graphics. At any rate I will be purchasing one in the...

    Conroe= par with AMD in gaming !

    In my opinion, if you're building a new system/ getting a new mobo, cpu and RAM, then a conroe system is the way to go (assuming cheap/stable mobos come out). On the other hand, if you have 1gb or 2gb of DDR and you need a new cpu/mobo, then you're best off getting a 939 mobo and an 3800 x2...

    mobo/cpu upgrade: 754 vs. 939 system? should i even bother at all?

    You'd probably be able to get a sempron 64 and a decent 754 mobo for ~100 bucks or so. They overclock pretty well. I bought a sempron 64 2800+ and a biostar t-force 754 (it's PCI-E) for ~120. My chip has oc'ed from 1600mhz to 2150. I could prolly push it a little further but am wary of voltage...

    Oblivion - is a warrior boring?

    Hey Ya'll I am playing oblivion right now and I can't decide on whether or not I want to do the thief style character - Blade/block/marksman/security/sneak/etc or a warrior. I think the thief would be fun outside of combat, but i definitely like to pwn when I do fight. At the same time a...

    My new pc.

    Super pi 1M was 51 seconds. I suppose I could up the voltage and mess with the timings a bit, but I am pretty satisifed with 2150, considering its a 550 mhz over clock. At any rate thanks for the comments. The build/overclock were possible because of the people on this forum, so thanks everyone!

    My new pc.

    Hey Everyone, I just built my first pc. It's not all completely new, hard drives came from last pc, as did the DVD drive and 512 mb of ram, but it's a nice upgrade. I came from a p4 2.4A, and I purchased a sempron 64 2800+, a Tforce 6100, X800Xt and 1 gig of ram. I oced my sempron 64 to 270...

    Who hates guild wars???!!

    I don't like Guild wars for a legit reason. But first and foremost it's been said before and i'll say it again - IT IS NOT A REAL MMORPG! Now moving on. The main reason why I don't like the game is because the combat bores me to death. I really feel like there is a big disconnect between you...

    258 vs 128mb GPU MBP?

    I think it's pretty tough, but overall I'd say unless you're going to be doing a ton of 3d stuff (games,etc) that the 128 mb vid card will suffice for word processing, etc . But yeah at this point I'd wait for a merom mac book myself, unless you're dying to upgrade.
