Been looking at this camera for a while and found this weekend special at Abe's of Maine Nikon D50 Body Only Also want to pickup the 18-70mm lense that normally comes with the D70s kit, but they don't have it in stock. Their reseller rating is a mixed bag. Several comments about...

Anyone interested in the concept of using conventional memory as a hard drive should check out the Tigi drives ( Tigi Corp ) but don't expect the price to be much better. They have a cool method of storing the info to a notebook hard drive when the power is off.

CPU upgrade is also on the calendar. My motherboard only supports up to 1200 and I have 512 MB of PC133. I want to wait for the Athlon 64 bit to enhance my futureproofing.

Seeking recommendations on a moderately priced video card upgrade. I'm currently running a very old but faithful Radeon LE 32 MB with an Athlon 1200. I'm not a heavy gamer, but want to try Star Wars: Galaxies which requires DirectX9 (per the packaging). Obviously, I don't do this very often...

NewEgg has the FIC Falcon CR51, a super small barebones system based on the Mini-itx format. This is great as a thin client, Linux web server or kid's PC. I will set mine up with a wireless NIC and flash drive for a super quiet workstation. The best price I can find elsewhere is $160 + $25...

This is pure speculation, but will this give AMD time to add support for PC3200 DDR memory into the desktop chips?

The Inquirer reports the Clawhammer will be delayed until September. They feel the Barton will be fast enough to compete with Pentium 4 chips until then. Take appropriate size grain of salt. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=7530

A few comments from a salon owner...Most states do require a license which means 200-500 hours of training. My salon charges $25-45 dollars for nail services. You get 50% commission plus tips, generally $3-7 dollars per service. Each nail appointment can take 20 min to an hour...do the math...

For anyone attempting to enable the HyperZ feature in Win2K here is the registry file I used. All the values are the same as Win9x but the registry key location is very different. REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\ati2mtag\Device0]...

I just bought the Cornerstone C910 monitor two weeks ago. I ordered on a Tuesday and it arrived on Friday without a hitch. The color is great and no screen distortions. I purchased the $20 dollar service contract so no need to worry about shipping if something does go wrong. I still own a...
