All settings are theoretically correct. Unless anyone else has any great ideas I guess I'll be soon selling a (nearly) new retail Celeron 900. Grr.

Sounds a bit scarey to me. I wouldn't recommend it for an in home mod . . .

A new CPU. My Celeron 433 just doesn't do it for me anymore . . .

I know sharkyexteme recommended the 40gig IBM 60 GXP for their value gaming system for a long time, but just this past month they switched to a Matrox I believe. Apparently there are some issues that have come up with the IBM 60 GXP, but I don't know what they are.

Occasionally I get little mouse jerks, but the biggest problem I've notice with IE 6 is that highlighting text is often weird. Sometimes it will change where sentences wrap. Othertimes a it will cause a word to appear twice or disappear completely. I guess MS was in a bit of a hurry to get...

I doubt you'll have better performance with 2K. In fact, I have one friend who claims his benchmarks went up 15% when he upgraded from 2K to XP. Also, I don't think 2K will be and more backwards compatible than XP.

I've never heard of a PS2 to USB adapter. I do have one that goes the other way. Why would you want one unless you have one of those new-fangled MB's that only has USB ports and no PS2's. I'm afraid you're out of luck.

I have a 19" monitor attached to my docking station. I run at 1024x768 because that's the max the laptop display can handle and I hate switching between resolutions.

Here's how I would set things up: Set up a normal LAN with the two computer using two normal ports of the hub. Since you're using the hub you won't need any crossover cables. Then have the cable modem come in to the other NIC of the machine that has two NICs. I've also used WinGate and found...

I got my LinkSys BEFSR41 from CompUSA for $80. I have two computers as well, but haven't noticed any problems with gaming. There is also a functionality in the router software which will let the Internet "see" one computer. The only thing I haven't tried yet is playing online on both...

Setting the password to blank should do the trick.

I've tried clearing the CMOS. I've also tried setting the parameters with my working CPU, shutting down, swapping CPU's, and rebooting. Still I have had no success. Anybody have experience with the GigaByte GA-6R7PR Slotket? I don't think that's the problem, but one never knows. I've got...

Go with a classic. The Final Fantasy series is great for hours of entertainment.

I recently read an article on Tomshardware.com where they compared like 20 different titanium GeForces and the Asus was the top pick. However, the Gainward wasn't far behind, but why go with less than the best if price is similar?

Unless you've got tons of money to spare, go with the G2 Ti 200. It will cost you half as much and chances are you won't be able to tell the difference (with your eyes--benchmarks will be higher onf G4). Also, remember that in many situations with the GeForce cards, that the monitor is more...
