Just an old crusty guy from way back checking in. I miss getting my hardware news from [H]. This place allowed me to cut my teeth as a young geek and learn things I never could have otherwise. There is no general forum anymore so delete if against the rules. This sub seems to fit what I...

I'm an old school [H]'er, but i've been out of it for a while. currently doing a mobo/cpu/ram/psu/case upgrade on my old 3800x2 system to an e8400, p45-ud3p, 8gb, hx850, lili x1000 With all this talk of the Kingston 40gb coming in at $86 tomorrow @ newegg, it makes me wonder if I should snag...

It's been a long time since I've come around these forums. I've been playing some games again recently and wanted to upgrade my old rig. I bought a Gigabyte 4890 1gb for about $200 and that's been great. I'm noticing looking at benchmarks for similar cards that my current system may actually be...

I might be in a position to get a laptop for work, and i was wondering what good, cheap laptops were sporting a good graphics card these days. also, how does a quadro (in some of the business oriented Dells) mobile compare to a 8600m in 3d performance.

On my fathers computer (180 miles away, with him) when he tries to login to XP by clicking on his username, it will say loading your personal settings, logging off, saving your personal settings. i've had him try to login to the administrator account with no luck (same symptoms), and also to...

Hey, I just got an old dell latitude to use to tune my standalone EMS in my Volvo, and i need to upgrade the ram. it uses PC133 144pin Sodimms, and it has an IDE HD, so lemme know what you got, and for what price. I'm ready to move fast on this, paypal is preferred. -Kurt

I'm looking for a cheap older laptop that has a serial port so i can tune my programmable EFI and program my wideband o2 controller. i'd prefer something on the smaller side, 12-13 inch screen would be ideal, but let me know whatever you have. cheap is also key. -Kurt edit: i'm also looking...

I've heard people say that the logitech momo dealie is really nice, and i've also heard some nice things about the microsoft wheels, but their website does not seem to exist anymore. the other thing that surprises me is, only $100 max for this stuff? Did it really just get this cheap since i...

Hey yall, machine is inthe sig: problem is this, when running san andreas at 1680x1050 in widescreen, with the ingame video options maxxed out, and my nview settings at 4xAA/16xAF i get terrible color gradation in the sky, and on cars and people, it looks like the AF is almost making it go...

Well, i have a the gateway widescreen 21" and a sony kv30hs420 widescreen CRT HDTV, i got this because of the cost and amazing superiority that CRT still has over LCD. The other night i moved my computer near the tv and plugged the tv into the computer with a dvi-HDMI cable that i bought...

Well i'm in the market for a laptop, and i want to spend as little as possible, in the 14" to 15" category. I want to have decent graphics, not the latest, not a 7800 go, but something better than intel integrated, something that could play some semi-recent games (non-fps) without chugging (keep...

Well my computer keeps soft locking, basically the symptoms are as follows. Unable to open task manager HDD Access light solid Can load programs but not close them Will not shut down on its own (but will try) the first time it happened i was trying to install the Empire At War demo. And...

I have this sony that i got at best buy with a exchange credit from something else i bought, problem is, i have no use for this notebook, so i didnt even open it, i decided i'd sell it. I would return it at best buy but you cant return items that were on a PSP exchange. I have no web hosting or...

Which is better? performance hit and sound quality. I have an audigy2, but i'm using the onboard sound at the moment, would the audigy2 give me better sound quality or less performance hit than the onboard? I really only listen on headphones or 2 speakers.... my apartment really isnt surround...

They have the be same brand same model # and everything??? or just a 7800gt reference design sort of deal?

whats the best i can do in the sub-800 category, i dont know a whole lot about camcorders, but i know a bit. preferably if you could reccomend me something you could get at best buy (yes i know best buy sucks, but i'm not paying for it, so i'll take that route). thanks a bunch, please...

Well long story short, i have a sony pcg-z1ra that has been nothing but a piece of shit, its broken so many times and they've ever fixed the major problems when i sent it back to best buy. So i fall into the no-lemon guarantee on my service plan. I went in today and sent it out, so they'll call...

Title says it all, i've got 2 matched sticks of kingson hyper-x pc3500 with the oldschool bh-5 chips on it, the ram has never really been overclocked, it ran for a year in an intel system with a 5:4 divider so it ran at 200mhz. i want a 2gb kit of something that will easily do 250htt for my...

i was priming last night for my 2580 overclock, i woke up this morning to a comp frozen at the screensaver... should i have the screensaver on while priming or is the oc just not fully stable? so, bad or indifferent to have the screensaver on while running prime torture tests?

I hope this isnt a repost, but i did search, i have the 1012 bios and i'm having some overclocking issues with dividers at 250mhz HTT and i heard someone mention latest bios. so whats the story?

Well i've got the system in my sig, and its not running at that overclock, but it CAN!, and thats where the problem lies. when i kick the bus up to 250, and leave everything to auto, it will boot into windows but it will be running my memory at 167mhz as per cpu-z. So i figured putting the...

it seems like the thing that died in my mom's computer is the processor, and as such, i need a new one, lemme know what ya got. i have heat under jutny, but it's all from a couple of years ago when i was buying/selling online all the time. -Kurt

WEll i'll start this off saying that this was a christmas gift from my father and i to my mother, that still has not been delivered, and it's my fault. I've wracked my brain as hard as i can, and gotten nowhere (even made some negative progress). So to start off this story, i got myself a new...

Well i'm a long time member here but historically i've been on the intel/ati camp, and have just recently switched to the other side and i'm damn happy so far. BUT, as you might imagine, my knowledge of the little details of overclocking the amd platform is nil. SO... here's what i got. Asus...

Lemme know what you got and how soon you could get it here. -Kurt

i thought all pci-e cards had to have the pci-e aux power connector, all mine has is a 4 pin molex, should i be worried about this? it kinda pissed me off, cause now the 2x pci-e power leads on my antec 550tpII are useless. edit, also, i've never seen an xfx like mine, its all black...

I got some new parts in the other day a8n-sli 3200+ venice xfx 7800gt antec 550w tpII to go with my 36gb raptor 3x 120gb special editions audigy2 etc.... so anyway, i get everything installed and nice and neat, fire it up and everything looks great, checked bios settings, left...

There's not a whole lot of choices, there's a sayno 28" and the sony kv30hs420 which is supposed to be the absolute best in class aside from its more expensive brother with the super fine pitch screen. first off i dont need a tuner or speakers, rather not have them but i know that's probably...

Well last week i decided to reformat windows (stupid idea cause my new hardware will be here in less than a week... :rolleyes:) but when i got everything up and running now i cant delete anything off Disk 1 (except stuff i've created on the new installation) Disk 0: wd raptor 36gb disk 1: wd...
