I have a relative in Scottsdale Arizona who is elderly. His 9 year old Gateway has died the final death. He wants me to select a new tower and monitor for him. He ONLY wants to purchase it from Best Buy. My entreaties to look elsewhere have failed.
He will use the system to do basic surfing...
I am working on a PC in Arizona from my home in Alaska. MSCONFIG had been changed adding the /BOOT with Networking option. I can get the fellow to hit F8 and get to the Advanced Options Menu, but any option I've had him select ends with his stuck on a Select User Name Showing Admin and his...
Apparently I missed an opportunity to buy another super piece of equipment only to return it. :)
If I had just built it would be annoying, but not world ending. I'd be on the phone getting a deal worked out to either replace the board or get a KickAss discount on a Intel X68 Express when it...

I was going to buy it from Steam for $15 but...
I haven't read through all of your thread about the hot 6950 but could you tell me if the problem you are experiencing is exacerbated because your running two different monitors? I really want to get three monitors to run using Eyefinity for games in addition to using my 52" Sammy for my primary.
RATS! I really want to get a second one for crossfire but won't have the Dinero for a couple of weeks. Guess I picked the wrong time to quit selling cocaine.
And I am also really thinking of FINALLY throwing a W/C system into my Cooler Master 840 ATCS. But now getting a waterblock for the XFX...
