    DEAD Prescription Glasses $9.99 shipped! TODAY (7/21) ONLY.

    Yep, 1saleaday charged $5 for shipping. My bifocal lenses from GlassesUnlimited were $57.99 and I had to pay the difference. Not sure why as I ordered no extras such as tinting, and my prescription is only +2.50.

    MB recommendation for new 8GB RAM system

    According to the Asus manual, there are very few 2GB certified RAM sticks that are approved for use in all 4 memory slots. Especially when using PC1066 sticks. Also, I'd prefer to stick with an Intel chipset based MB.

    MB recommendation for new 8GB RAM system

    I want to build a 64 bit VISTA system with at least 8GB of RAM and a quad core Intel processor. Some considerations are: 1) it must be capable of some overclocking, 2) DDR2 (because DD3 is too expensive), Do you think that an Asus P5Q Deluxe is a good choice? What might be a better...

    Help please! 2nd DVD burner won't install, P5W DH Deluxe

    Are you sure that the EZ-Backup SATA connectors work with optical devices? I think only SATA2 devices are compatible. Have you tried the Jmicron SATA connector?

    3 Mobos all ? Dead, ALL else good.. Mystery, help!

    Hard to believe that three brand new motherboards are DOA! Can you get your hands on an older/slower CPU to try out in case the BIOS was too old to support a 4000+ processor.

    Any Dell SXGA+ owners in the house??

    I've watched videos with some dark scenes and had no issues. I think the TrueLife mirror screen finish enhances the apparent contrast.

    Any Dell SXGA+ owners in the house??

    For whatever its worth, everyone that's looked at my WSXGA+ TrueLife display has commented how nice it looks. I have it configured to run at its native 1680 x 1050 resolution and opted for the optional ATI Radeon video adapter. Aside from the distracting reflections off its mirror shiny screen...

    Any Dell SXGA+ owners in the house??

    Havn't done much in the way of games so far. But the contrast seems very good although there's a fair amount of distracting reflections caught on the TrueLife screen. The screen brightness drops *significantly* when used on battery power alone so you need to be connected to A/C power to...

    Any Dell SXGA+ owners in the house??

    I bought an E1505 with the 15.4 inch WSXGA+ with TrueLife screen and am very pleased with it. But I've never compared it to an ASUS Z71V. In the end its all in the eye of the beholder.

    A complicated error having to do with IRQ/uPnP conflicts

    I had something similar happen to me a while back. Try removing all of your PCI cards in the machine and reset the BIOS to default. Then insert the PCI cards in one at a time, rebooting after each card is inserted. The Motherboard will go thru its IRQ/PNP algorithm for each card, one at a...
