Hi did you sell the Mitchell Leather Bag?

I am considering adding an extra gig of ram to my laptop. Currently I have 1 GB of Ram running at 400mhz. However, on my laptop if you add another stick of ram for 2GB the highest you can run the ram is 333mhz while keeping stability. I was wondering if it would benefit me more to run less ram...

I can get vista relatively cheap through an academic site since I am a student. I was wondering if academic versions of the software can be moved to different computers if I should upgrade to a new computer in the future. Of course I realize it would have to be removed from the old computer, but...

My friends system suddenly will not turn on. THe system never even begins to boot, no fans spin or anything. I'm thinking the power supply may be dead, but the green power light on the motherboard still lights up suggesting there is still at least some power going to the motherboard. Could the...

I'm looking for a budget lcd for under $200 dollars. Preferably I'd like to get a 19 inch model if possible. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Between the xclio and the fortron is there anything that would tip the scale toward one over the other?

I'm building a new budget pc for a family member and would like to find a decent quality power supply that will be reliable for around 40-50 dollars max. Any suggestions? The system will be based of a Geforce 6150 board, 1 harddrive, dvd drive, x2 3800+ processor. I would like the supply to...

How about the Fortron I originally mentioned? How does that compare? I'm basically looking for the best power supply for around 50 bucks.

Thanks for the tips. How is that Rosewill power supply, are they decent? Also, in regards to the antec nsk 4400, I looked at it and am considering it, but i feel like i've been reading some negative things about antec power supplies lately that is making me think twice about it.

I'm building a budget computer for some relatives and would like some opinions on this build. I decided to go AM2 over Conroe since it seems cheaper. Please make any suggestions necessary. AM2 X2 3800+ = $150 120 GB Seagate 16mb cache HDD = $63 MSI K9NGM2-FID = $90 Windows Media Center...

I would consider the MSI Geforce 6150 based motherboard over the asus. I had the asus and had a few problems with it, specifically the usb ports. I just bought the MSI and installed it, but its too new to comment on. It doesn have component breakout which is nice, as well as a breakout for the...

I'm building a new system for my parents and for now a board with integrated graphics would be fine for their use. I'm wondering what S939 board, either ATI or Nvidia, currently has the best integrated graphics and would be best to create a good, stable system for my parents. Thanks, Rob

I have about a 5 year old set of Altec Lansing ADA 885 speakers. I'm currently considering upgrading them but am curious how much better the sound quality would be from Klipsch IFI's. I'm interested in going for a set of 2.1 speakers since I keep the current ADA885's in the 2.1 setup primarily...

I have high readings with my abit at8 32x mobo as well. I'm beginning to think the board just reads temps high.

How does the heatpipe cooler work on this. Does it work relatively well. Also is the fan relatively silent. I"m trying to decide between this board and an asus a8n32.

Does anyone know if a big typhoon cooler will fit this board?

I just built a new computer and don't have money to buy a new soundcard at the moment. I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard that is probably about 5 years old from my previous build or I could use the DFI ultra D onboard sound. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on which...

Does anyone have any idea if you could fit a big typhoon on this board. Would it conflict with the heat pipe? Also how loud is the little chipset fan that is on the heatpipe? Thanks, Rob

My local EB and Gamestop both said they werent taking preorders yet. They said probably sometime in may or june they will start. Guess I'll have to wait til then unless anyone knows of any other stores that take preorders.

Seeing as how the PS3 is going to be released right before christmas season I'm thinking it might be a good idea to try to preorder one as soon as possible. Does anyone know if any stores are actually taking preorders for them yet? Thanks, Rob

I want to purchase a new keyboard and it appears on amazon there are two made by saitek. The pc gamer version looks like it comes with a gamepad and is also a few dollars cheaper than the saitek eclipse keyboard. The design of the keyboards looks the same and I was wondering what the difference...

how high were you able to take the htt bus speed while keeping stability?

Anyone have any experience with this board. I'm considering replacing my dfi ultra-d with this due to the sli and the passive cooling solution. SHould it be able to overclock my opteron 165 similiar to the dfi?

Does the HDCP come in to play only for pay channels, or would it block HD of broadcast stations as well?

I have an old P4 1.7 ghz computer (the Rdram kind) with 512 ram and an ati 9800 non pro video card. I was wondering if this would be sufficient to serve as an htpc and run a program such as sagetv or beyondtv? Thanks, Rob

I just looked into that. I think the problem may be that the cable box outputs dvi-d and I don't think those adapters work with dvi-d.

I have a cable box that has a dvi output for outputting hdtv signals for an hdtv. I dont have an hdtv but I was wondering if I could use the dvi output to connect to a vga monitor that I have. I was wondering if this kind of signal conversion is possible. I don't want to spend the money on an...

I really enjoyed the max payne series, third person shooter type setup and was wondering if anyone could recommend any other games that have similar gameplay elements that I might enjoy. Thanks, Rob

I'm not looking for a way to pirate, I own the cds, I just find it annoying to have to always insert them into the computer to play. I was just wondering if there is an easier way.

I was wondering if it is possible for games to install them to your computer in a way that won't require you to insert the disc everytime you want to boot up the game. Is there any way to just copy the contents to the computer to avoid this. Thanks, Rob

I just got this board and put a big typhoon on it without any problems.

I was reading some posts on the dfi board that they recommend 480 watt power supplies. Since my rig will be non sli with an opteron 165 I was wondering if a 430 watt neohe would be adequate to power this mobo?

Thanks for the replies. I think I am going to go ahead and order the ultra d. -Rob

I have an asus a8r-mvp but this board has limated vcore and cannot run memory stable at 1T. Since it doesnt seem like a bios update is coming I would like to purchase a new motherboard and sell the asus. My system is: NeoHE 430 Power Supply 320 WD SATA 2 HDD Opteron 165 2 Gigs G.Skill...

I just installed an opteron 165 and a big typhoon in my system. Currently I'm getting idle temps around 34 degrees. I was wondering if this was normal or not. THe processor is running stock and is not overclocked. It was my first time applying arctic silver so I just want to make sure I didn't...

I noticed on amd's website there is aboth an athlon x2 driver and a seperate opteron driver. I was wondering which driver was applicable for the dual core opterons. I know common sense would say the opteron driver but I just wanted to make sure this wasnt for socket 940 opterons or anything like...

I'm wondering if you should install the big typhoon when the motherboard is outside the case or if it is better to install it after the motherboard has been installed in the case. Thanks, Rob

Does anyone know if the fault in these power supplies poses any risk of frying a motherboard or any other components, or is it more an issue that will just cause instability but not fry anything? I don't even want to give it a try for a while after i get my rma'd one if there is a chance I could...

I noticed on the smartpower 2.0 there is a cable that allows the power supply to be plugged into the motherboard that allows the fan speed to be controlled. I was wondering if people generally plug this in or leave it unplugged. If it is left unplugged does that affect the performance of the fan...
