Yea I looked at this deal... Not bad... But I got in on the 50 pack of the same cd's last week for $1.99 after rebate. They came with the 50pc spindle pack. 200 in 50pc packets for $14.00, not as good , but only 1 rebate, not bad. I have not had any problems with these in any of my burners (of...

If you are going through all this, you should look at Win98SE. Well, I haven't used 95B for a while... However you may want to back up the user.dat and system.dat files (copy all *.dat, *.da0 and *.da1). These are hidden files that define your registry. If you do not backup/restore these...

Well for starters Wester Digital does not list the specs for your AC36000L hard drive (I'm not a fan of the WD HD's). But since it is a 6 gig drive, I would think it is of the udma33/ATA33 flavor. 1. Your mobo supports ATA66/ATA100 hard drives - be sure that you are not enabling the ATA66/100 in...

Yea, well, warped or not.. This is usually caused by the laser not being able to align with the the tracks on the disk Try cleaning the disk (yea right) or re-aligning the laser (better chance winnig the lotto).. but with that out of the way... Is this drive an older IDE by chance? (if so buy a...

My nickels worth.. Since the CPU's are cheap, And if your case is ATX then..(toss the 233 Inhell or sell it) go with the Thunderbird 700 and mother board combo with Built in sound and network - $258 128 133mhz ram - $52 VOODOO3 3000 16MB AGP 166MHZ SDRAM - $68 56x ide cd rom Accu drive retail, 1...

Just as a thought.. Not all SCSI controllers are the same as far as the data transfer rate that they can sustain. Be sure that the controller card can match what you intend to use it for. FWIW

I have seen this in 2 different situations... 1) bad IDE cable 2) Win 95/98 driver conflics between the DVD and a CDRW drive. (95 hates this setup) I have also seen this on an old Ricoh 2/2/6 drive with a bad laser. What system setup?

I agree with the dos tips above.. But it all depends on waht you want the boot disk for. all the dos commands can be found in the Windows\command dir but if you are using to dupe a drive be sure to copy Xcopy32.exe and use Xcopy32 /c /h /e /k /r /s

This is an inductor.. These are 90 degrees out of phase (ac) with a capacitor, that is to say that they store a current as apposed to a capacitor that stores a voltage. These types of devices are used primarily in a supply regulation field. They are used to supply a current needed in a situation...

What do you want to do with your PC??? I am looking for a Dual Head card that has SVideo output and DVD support so I can surf the internet and play DVD's on the tube at the same time (option - GForce2 MX SDR with Svideo out). Let me know what your choice is.

But then again... for what you describe, check the deals section for any video card or Pricewatch

I'd go with the built in everything also...

I see the same thing on the RADEON card... Glitches in the pan... let me know the outcome..

Hi shinerburke Hercules was bought by Guillimount (Sp?) and they did some really good products in the past. I heard that the Prophet used the Hitachi memory chips and are rated as one of the best (7.5ns). Creative is also rated High, as far as ASUS I have heard some problems with them in the...

My 2 cents worth (not worth that even I have been an avid fan of the Voodoo cards for some time now. I like the Voodoo cards because I could buy any game on the store shelves and be certain that it would work with the VooDoo card I had installed. With some of the other cards that I had...
