    help with network games

    We just networked 2 computers in our home. 10base ethernet/twisted cable. Win98se drivers and it all works great except for one thing. How do we play a network game with 1 CD for 2 computers? If you log the second computer on it asks for the CD. Do we have to have buy or burn 2 copies of the...

    winblows does not see my Maxtor HD, calls it a type 47

    Thanks for the reply. I knew about the dma and had it checked, but I was wondering about the generic driver. I can find something else to worry about now;) We old farts need to stick together, those puppies around here think they know it ALL. Trouble is some of them do and rub it in to much:D

    winblows does not see my Maxtor HD, calls it a type 47

    No driver came with the oem maxtor 7200 20 gig drive. Winblows calls the drive a generic type 47. I can find no drivers on the maxtor site or at windrivers. Is type 47 driver all I need? :confused:

    AOpen 12/10/32 burner back to Costco ? ??

    Got the updates thanks, old to puters, new to burning. The learning curve is not to steep but I am still on the bunny slope. Now, rate the drive. One of the updates was on aother site, is this a rebranded drive? Not a problem but should I add the bucks and get the Plexor?

    AOpen 12/10/32 burner back to Costco ? ??

    Lousy "user's manual" and no web support is the reason. Any reason to rethink getting a refund and getting a Plextor? Danm impulse buying got me again. I got a good price, but price is not every thing. I know better but--------

    I decided on the iwill kk266r - now how about a case and.....

    Pay the few bucks extra and get an Antec case/power supply. Ask anyone who has one, they will have nothing else. Any SX case is great, get the size that best fits your needs. The side door alone is worth the price difference, to say nothing about the craftmenship on the inside and out. I doubt...

    I will have a nice clean Antec 1030 case, my filters do the job.

    The furnace filter will trap a tad more dust, but the AC filter gives a better air flow,take the one best for you. The name of the game is having fun :)

    Check the Fabric Dept. at Wal-Mart ect. and get some self stick velco to hold the filter in place, use just the side with the hooks. That should cover some holes also, so all the air goes through the filter.

    This is how I do this little trick. Any hardware store has the foam room air conditioner filters you cut to fit your unit. The front bezel has snap on clips, be gentle and work the clips free on the side opposit form the door. Cut the filter to fit and snap the front bezel back in place. Those...

    Best Socket A Motherboard

    For you, go Gigabyte. If you want to overclock, the Asus board. Gigabyte is as stable and reliable as you can get. Set the FSB and mem clock to 133 with 133 CL 2 mem and fly. Gigabyte also has a good mx vidio card. Another tip, get the OEM Athion and add your own Alpha PEP66T heatsink with the...

    will this fan fit in sx1030????

    I got mine today. You will love this beast. The cages in the front take 2 80mm fans. The design of the front of the case is superb for air flow with just the 2 80s in the back. Should I need more air, which I doubt, a 120mm blow hole in the top would be the way to go. I can fit a low resistance...
