I thought I had the same problem - then i got up and walked away for 15 minutes. When i came back, it had moved on to the next screen. In short, it seems to just take a looooong time at that stage, for some reason.

I'm extremely puzzled by this problem. Building a new system with a Foxconn C51XEM2AA motherboard and AMD 6000+, I got 2 identical Western Digital WD400YR 400gb hard drives. The first drive shows up correctly as a 400 gig drive, but the second disk is only showing as a 150 GB drive in the...

It was an internal cable I was looking for - the CPX110 is exactly what I wanted and will do nicely. Thanks!

Rather than continuing my fruitless search, hopefully someone here can help me out. After successfully annoying my girlfriend enough, I decided it's finally time to get the headphone jack on my computer working. My motherboard (a Shuttle AN35) has a front audio header, however my case...

Just in case anyone was curious, I picked up the card a few weeks ago. I got an ever better deal that I predicted because I found a $25 gift card that I had completely forgotten about. With a sticker price of $400.99, I was able to walk out with a 6800 GT for $84 (and it would have been less...

And thank you for telling me exactly what I wanted to hear :)

Last year, I got a single $5 piece (which I promptly lost and never got a chance to use. This year, though, I've had no luck. 300 pieces, all of $1.

Mail-in requests for game pieces. Access to free postage + a lot of free time = a whole lot of Best Buy bucks. Without having to gorge myself on Big Macs :) Besides, if I can get $300 off a video card, I think it's worth a little hassling. Nothing I can't deal with. I've always wanted...

Ok, here's my situation - I have $300 in Best Buy bucks that I intend to spend on a new videocard - 300 being the max you can use on any single transaction. I'm wondering, given that Best Buy's stock limits me to the BFG line of cards, should I get the 6800 OC for basically free, or should I...

That's all I needed to hear, glad I saved my money - thanks much!

Hi all, quick question - I'm thinking of doing some upgrading on my computer, but I'm limited by a very tight budget. I currently have a TI 4200 on my comp - AMD 2600+, 512 megs of PC2700 DDR ram. Would I be likely to see a big performance jump if I got an ATI 9600 (specificaly, this card from...

Here's my issue - I can't get any games with the newest version of Securom to run on my system. I'll install a game, and then it will run fine for awhile - then I'll leave and come back to it after a few hours, and when i try to start the game, it will give me a "Cd not in the drive" error. The...

WINNER! Took quite some looking to find a new AGP driver for my board, since Iwill was (shockingly) of no help whatsoever. I ended up installing Miniport 5.33 from AMD, and all seems to be well ... for now. Funny that this problem hasn't shown up before. Was there something unique with the...
