    Any known cpu price drops coming soon?

    I'm thinking of upgrading my cpu from my 1.0@1.33 thunderbird to probably a 1.6 palomino (1900+), only $85. Are there any known price drops coming out in the next few weeks that may make this price drop even more? I already consider $85 for 1600mhz a great deal, but dont want to drop $85 today...

    Error on compu nurse screen....

    My compu nurse died a while back, and I just replaced the battery. I went to radio shack with the old battery and they looked it up and gave me a replacement. I tried it in the compu nurse, and it appears to start up, then shows O degrees C, then goes to "XXX", and will stay like that as long as...

    PCI sound card or addon with RCA output?

    I will probably end up doing that, but didn't want to cause you do lose quality. I mentioned that I didn't really want to go that route in my original post. Thanks anyways.

    PCI sound card or addon with RCA output?

    Its for outputs only, I wont need inputs - it won't be used for a audio editing machine.

    PCI sound card or addon with RCA output?

    Anyone know if there is a sound card that has the two RCA connectors on them (red/white connections). I need either a sound card or an addon of some sort for another sound card. I don't want to spend that much therefore the live drive for sound blasters is out. Also, I dont want to convert the...

    900mhz athlon or 1ghz duron?

    even though the duron uses the same type of core as the new XPs.......performance wise the 900 would still be superior to the 1ghz duron. the new durons still use a 200 fsb....... and have less l2 cache. plus if you plan to o/c you will easilly get more out of the athlon than the duron. I...

    Panaflo L1A versus Silencer

    I've seen the panaflo 80mm at bgmicro.com for $2.49 - but haven't ordered any yet. Do a search for panaflo and they will show up. Any one ever order from bgmicro?

    Computer turns off, then won't Post or Boot for at least 30min, then is fine for another 24hrs

    Thats very weird that it happened to you twice. Like you I've replaced nearly everything I could and am having the same problem. I didn't switch OSes, because it doesn't seem like a software problem. I also need Win2k Server on it. The board was all special, we just got it for work because we...

    I will try a different heatsink, I've got a few laying around, but it has been doing its job for many months. Also, we replaced the RAM that was in there, in case that was the problem. Also, its not that once the computer dies it won't be able to reboot for 30min or so. After that time it boots...

    Yes i know the one I tested with works. It is from a computer I use at home. Its 250w amd approved. Am I sure its ATX, uhm yeah. Did I connect everything properly? When it didn't boot I unplugged the motherboard power connector of the old PSU, plugged the new PSU into it and tried it (didn't...

    How would you explain that I tried a different power supply and couldn't start the computer either once it had crashed?

    We use Norton Antivirus Corporate. The virus definitions are pushed down to the clients from a server we run. Also, the computer has problems turning on once it has crashed. I can go into the BIOS but then a few moments later the computer just shuts off again. I use arctic silver and I have...

    I did try switching to a different power supply when I couldn't get the computer started again. With the new power supply I wasn't able to get the computer started. I'll give that power switch thing a try tomorrow.
