    Need to replace old B router Dlink DIR-601, Netgear WGR614, or WRT54G2?

    Alright I just wanted to update the status of this a bit, I wanted to try to stick to local big box stores in case I had an issue with not liking the router or it was DOA. So far I had the Netgear WGR614 V10, V10 introduces there new green initiative. It has buttons to turn the radio on and...

    Need to replace old B router Dlink DIR-601, Netgear WGR614, or WRT54G2?

    Thanks again for the recommendations, again signal strength I'm not to worried about as the router will be in my bedroom, so I don't want anything to crazy in here. The main wireless client is in another room separated by a bathroom so I'd guestimate 10' and 2 walls. This old device...

    Need to replace old B router Dlink DIR-601, Netgear WGR614, or WRT54G2?

    What version is it and how long has it been in service? Also I've seen a few others say they run hot, where do you have it located (does it have a decent air flow?) My old 814 sits on my desk and it's barely warm to the touch. Thanks everyone else so far for the suggestions, I looked at...

    Need to replace old B router Dlink DIR-601, Netgear WGR614, or WRT54G2?

    I been running a B Netgear MR814 for 7 or 8 years, and need to replace it with something more current. My needs are not extreme in the least bit, I have one wired connection, and 2 wireless connections at most. Just every day surfing, most extreme activity would be Skype and Hulu occasionally...

    Enzotech CNB-S1L enough to cool Nforce4?

    I have a DFI Ultra D (Specs below), not over clocked, the northbridge fan started going and I purchased the highly touted Evercool VCRE. I'm not to thrilled with it, it has a new stench that no other part I've ever installed has ever had, being in my room I can't deal with it. I'm wondering...

    Need some suggestions, replaced northbridge fan, and somethings running hot or melting

    I have a DFI Ultra D (Nforce 4) mobo, the chipset fan (north bridge) has been dying so I decided to replace it with the recommended Evercool Twinkling gpu fan. I tore the whole system apart, removed the old chipset/fan, scraped all the old crud off with a credit card and 90% Isophyl alcohol...

    Anyone ever notice more eye strain with ATI cards?

    For lighting I have 2 choices, My ceiling fan that has an 3 smaller incandescent bulbs down light and 3 incandescent bulbs a little bigger for uplighting on a dimmer (I need better bulbs for that as there yellowish in color) or I have a regular table lamp with a 40 watt GE Reveal incandescent...

    Anyone ever notice more eye strain with ATI cards?

    Mainly just text, I don't really game much anymore. I wish I could explain it better, right now I'm on the laptop and my eyes are fine, I went back on my main computer a minute ago to call Viewsonic and after a couple minutes my eyes started burning again. Viewsonic wasn't much help, they...

    Anyone ever notice more eye strain with ATI cards?

    That's what I can't figure out, I mean overall the screen seemed brighter with the ATI card, so I thought turning the brightness and contrast down would help.

    Anyone ever notice more eye strain with ATI cards?

    I just upgraded to an ATI 2400XP from a Geforce 6200, and for some reason I'm getting a lot of eye strain since. I'm running DVI and clear type is enabled, I have a Viewsonic 19" widescreen LCD. Resolution is 1440x900 and I've tried adjusting the brightness and contrast down to no avail. Any...

    New Radeon DOA?

    Thanks for the reply, I put the old card in, and hooked up only the DVI and it displays fine, so I guess it is the new card. Fwiw the card does look like a repack, back to Newegg it will go :|

    New Radeon DOA?

    I just got my new GIGABYTE GV-RX24T256H (Radeon 2400xt) it refuses to display in DVI (with a known working monitor), if I just plug the DVI cable in there is no display. If I plug the Analogue cable in I have a display, but it starts getting wavy looking after 20 minutes. I called GIGABYTE...
