I didn't know whether to post this here or in the Mobile Computing section so here it goes: I am a legacy AT&T customer still holding on to my (awesome) v551, sadly it is dying and I wish to upgrade to a new phone. What I loved about the v551 is that it took a beating and kept working (until...

I'm trying to upgrade the memory for a friend on a ze4540us. I checked HP's site and it show that up to a max of 1GB can be installed. She currently has 256MB installed and the stick of G-skill I bought from newegg is 512MB. When I installed the memory, it fit, of course, but the laptop...

So I just got my replacement 205BW after suffering from a defective stand. But now after less than a week a vertical line of stuck pixels has appeared, red and blue in color. The odd thing about them is that they only appear when certain images are displayed. It appears when I use my Xbox...

Are there any rugged GSM phones like Nextel's i580? I was looking for something shockproof/water resistant for the Cingular or other GSM networks. Thanks.

Well, the old parents are in need of a new keyboard/mouse combo because the one they are using is a cheap wireless one that came with their gateway. They like the MX Duo that I have been using on my computer so I'd like to get them something more updated. The one requirement is that the mouse...

Ok, so I used napster (through Windows Media Player 11 interface) to buy some music. Now after a CPU upgrade (A64 3000+ > A64 X2 4200+) I can no longer play the song. I get this error message: Does this have anything to do with the CPU change? Is DRM connected to my CPU ID? I have...

So I'm going to pick up a 4200+ this week but I'm worried that my current cooling setup won't hold up against the heat from the new processor. Current Cooling setup: Chieftec Dragon Case 530w Forton Source (2x 80mm pushing out) 2x 80mm antec fans on rheobus (out/back) 2x 80mm low rpm...

I was playig a mod, I think it was server side because instead of the regular guns that you can upgrade to there were different ones like the assualt upgrade was an F2000 . Does any one know about this mod?

Hi guys, I'm using the graphical version of F@H and usually the icon says something like 200/400 of a WU but it's reporting 2300/10000. Should I be worried? When I attempt to open the display it brings my comp to it's knees. Otherwise my comp is running fine. EDIT: Sorry about the first...

Great Deal Picked one up today you can't beat $ 0.25 for a GB, especially on SATA

I can only get some local channels in sage tv when configure it for my cable. I'm using a PVR150MCE, Nvidia's DVD decoder, and Sagetv2.2. the rest of the channels are just fuzzy, and have no picture. I'm a digital cable subscriber but I can get regular cable on tv in my house without a recorder.

I just got my WinPVR 150MCE/DVD decoder/SageTV bundle from PCalchemy. Woot. I was told that in order to use my Xbox through the 150 I had to use dscaler. I a little weary of installing it and wanted to find out if any one uses Dscaler/Sagetv/150 combo, and if they have had any problems. I says...

Isn't there a button you have to press that will give you the full menu, mine does seem to want to give me many options. I heard gigabyte mobos did that but I may be worng, I'm trying to access the memory timmings. Thanks.

I'm about to send my bro some Apps for College on a DVD and was going to include F@H and ask him to install it if he doesn't mind, but this is USAFA, and I don't know what kind of network restrictions they have. Will F@H go through or will it look like something else? What settngs can make sure...

If I change the IDE configuration, like physically change which drives are on which channels then boot back up, will windows crap out on me? Last time I played with the IDE config I got BSODs, did I not do it right? Also, does IDE raid need both channels or can I use both disks on one?

SVC has 2 pin fan connectors on their L1A Fans and I'm wondering if I can use those on 3 pin fan connectors like the mobo, which two do I put it on?

I'm add a tuner card to my PC and was wondering if 160GB was enough? There's a deal for another 160 for 40 bucks AR and I was wondering if I should pick it up. How much can 160Gb carry at NTSC standard res?

My bro has gone off to college and as a birthday gift my father wants to get him a LCD screen to go with his lappy, couldn't convice him of the 2005FPW so I'm looking at a 350 shipped pricetag. 19 inch, DVI, D-sub, and S-video/little yellow tv video plug-in. I found this. Has anyone heard of it...

I'm thinking about getting a TV/FM tuner to use in my comp so I can record shows and old family videos off VHS. Interesting article on the frontpage about the ATi550, but after reading threads comparing it to the PVR150; the 150 seem to be the better choice. My question is whether I will be able...

I'm looking to clean up the wires in my case, but the question is will I void my PSU's warranty if I Sleeve it? It's a Forton Source. Thanks.

I can't stand the droning of my 80mm fans any more and therefore will be upgrading my case and HSF. Here's some questions: 1. Lian li PC60B plus, I like it's look and features, but how quiet is it, using the stock 120's? 2. XP-120 and a low speed fan, how well does it cool? Will it tear...

My father and I are going to get my brother a LCD screen for college in august. He is going to be issued a Dell Latitude D600. He said that he wanted a 2005FPW before he left, and we are about to buy it but I checked to D600's specs and it supports a maxium of 1600x1200, where as the 2005FPW is...

1 gb dual channel kits are dropping in price and i wouldn't mine another gig of ram. I have a Winchester and a GA-K8NS Ultra 939. Can I run 4x512? If so at what speeds? 2t? This is not Uber leet ram just Mushkin Value stuff. Will it run in dual channel? Would it be worth it? Could I turn Page...

Two Questions: Can a Venice core memory controller do 512MBx4@200? If I use the AMD approved heatsinks on their site, do I still void the warranty? If so, does anyone use the stock A64 heatsink, what are your temps and what are suggestions to keep that little thing cool?

I need to make a decision on Mobo and I want a super stable mobo with lots of features. These two boards are the ones i'm looking at: MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce3 Ultra or DFI UT NF3 ULTRA-D Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce3 Ultra Anything I should be aware about on either of...

I know you guys are probably sick of these threads, but I need help. I curently have a Cheiftec dragon case and it is a chore to work with it because it is so cramped. I'm going to have to get a new Mobo/CPU set here soon and so I want to get rid of my case too. Here are the 2 simple...

I posted this before, in the OS section, about my bluscreens, well yesterday they came back and I couldn't both into windows, this is after a fresh install. Luckily I had my UBCD and poped it in. Memory gave no errors after 10+hours in Memtest or in 10+ hours of Windows memory Diagnostic...

Ok so I'm borging my comp and the family comp for a total of 2.533+1.8=4.333Ghz Both of these comps won't be on all the time so should I run timeless/deadlineless? Will that effect points (running timeless protiens)? Thanks.

Ok, so I posted this in the optical drive forum the other day but got no response and so I though it might be more of a larger software issue. I have never seen this error before, but when I installed a new drive, at first messed up my IDE chain and dual boot config, but I got that back...

I posted eariler about media problems with the PX716A. The problems that I had though had vanished came back: Windows crashes to a blue screen (but not BSOB memory error). Here's a pic of it: I updated Nero and the firmware to the latest stuff. My question is should I return this...

So i bought the PX-716A because I was looking for a good drive and decided that this must be it. At first when I reconfigured my IDE chains it played havoc on my dual boot set up. When I got that fixed I got the PX716A to find my media (memorex 2x DVD-RW) and did a burn with a AVI file I made in...

Ok, so my brother is going to college and we are sticking him with our current digital camera, a 3.2MP fujiflim. It's great, except for the fact the it is slow, and since my father's job includes going to airshows we need some speed. I'm looking at around $400 but that's flexible. I want to know...

Ok, so I just got the Motorola V551, and this thing rocks, I would really like to buy an adapter for my computer so I can transfer data back and forth with my cell. On Moto's site it's $80 bucks, but I was wondering if I could get a regular bluetooth adapter and it would still work. Thanks.

Not sure if this goes here but, I have 3 nokia 3100 that I'm thinking about selling, thing is that I want to make sure that all of my info is erased off it. Is there any sure proof way of doing so. Thanks.

Ok, so right now I pay around 39.99 for a 4mbps down and 384kbps up cable line from my local company (speed burst go a little higher). Verizon is advertising fiber optic 15Mbps down and 2Mbps up for $45. Will my actual speed be close to this therotical speed or will it depend on other factors...
