    i7 sleep (recovery) issues

    For about a month now I've been using a nice shiny new Core i7 system, and though I've been able to fix most of the initial issues there's one I've not yet been able to resolve. Basically the system doesn't like coming out of sleep. The current hardware being used is an ASUS P6T w/ 6GB...

    600m Upgrades (Newbie!)

    I have two 512MB sticks of DDR333 in my 600m. DDR333 is required if you have one of the newer processors I believe with the 600m, though I could be mistaken. Either way, faster RAM will just run at 266 if that's what your model uses (which is the case for mine, a RevA1 motherboard).

    Anyone know how to fix a nice scratch on my Sony G500 Monitor screen??

    price vs performance. (NOT bragging post, seriously!!)

    I would consider myself something of a hardcore gamer, but only in the respect that I play only one game - and in that, I aim for framerates, not eye candy (q3a). By this, I play a hell of a lot of q3, but nothing else. The GF2MX is well.... 164fps at my play settings on a K7-1GHz+256MB, win2k...

    LOL! Napster fans, take a look!

    << what makes this interesting to me, is that the place where much of this started (MP3 trading in the States), is going to become quite a bit harder to accomplish, unless you resort to this, in which case, you have to go overseas to get the data (could be slower). >> Not really true... the...

    Is your Pioneer DVD ultra sensitive to Overclocking???????????

    The only problem that I have with my A303S Pioneer (6X, region free) is that the danm thing hates CDs! Like a click of death :/ Otherwise reads DVDs perfectly. I've had no problems with it running at a 112MHz bus (37MHz if I work that out in my head right)...

    Digital Cameras. Which One?

    I've no idea of what it costs in the US, but our Kodak DC265 has been unbelievably good to us so far, in the last mm, 8 months or so? It's not exactly a new model, but still a great camera.

    whats better?? geforce 256 ddr of geforce 2 MX

    omg, some people. additionally, the 2MX is an updated core with more features - the CORE is faster and can process more than the DDR - the memory is not. They will perform on par until you get to a) applications with HEAVY memory use b) High resolutions IMO, go the MX - as I said, updated...

    3DFX Petition!!!!!!!

    I dare argue that a petition to get rid of 3Dfx would get more signatures than one to save them.

    Hmm KT266 or ALi Magik1?

    I think...: &quot;you're looking at the wrong brand&quot;. I'm very anti-asus for a billion and one reasons. IWill all the way... get yourself a KA266-R (Magick1 based)

    Anyone know the ETA of the PALOMINO?

    From what I understand, the Palomino uses 1.1v - which means that the only KT133A board that will support it is the ABit KT7A
