    Looking for a good socket 478 motherboard w/ video

    I am looking for a decent motherboard to replace an i845 motherboard in a customer's computer who is running a Celeron 2.8. Newegg is on backorder for most Intel motherboards with integrated graphics. I just want something with an Intel chipset, not necessarily Intel manufactured. Onboard video...

    Hiding topic summaries

    Also, the ability to hide the list of forum categories on the left would be nice. I would much rather devote my screen real estate to widening the "Subject" column in thread view, to prevent subject titles from wrapping around to a 2nd line on the screen. When viewing threads in For Sale /...

    Hiding topic summaries

    Is there any way to not display topic summaries? I really find very little use for them, since the subject of a thread should clearly convey its contents in the first place. They tend to just clutter up the screen.

    Donation of low-end computer for charitable foundation

    That would be cool. If I find someone willing to donate a laptop, then no donation money will be necessary. However, if someone would accept a small paypal donation from you (or if someone else wants to pitch in as well) in exchange for donating the laptop, then perhaps that would work out?

    Donation of low-end computer for charitable foundation

    Donation of low-end computer for charitable foundation

    I am posting for a friend of mine who runs the R. Gene Smith Charitable Foundation in Louisville, KY. The foundation was created to help inner city children make it through school- part of that via financial help and providing computers for the kids. Over the years, many of the kids have sadly...

    Rules concerning charitable donations

    I was wondering if it would be OK to post a thread asking for donation of a low-end computer, either desktop or laptop (preferably laptop for shipping reasons), for a charitable foundation (R. Gene Smith Charitable Foundation, in Louisville, KY). I know on some forums this is frowned upon...

    Canon EOS Digital Rebel Kit 6.3MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S18-55mm Lens - $899.10 @ OneCall

    My neighbor had a Canon A70 and just bought the Digital Rebel. She uses a Canon i960 to print color photos. You wouldn't believe the difference the Digital Rebel makes in the prints as opposed to the A70. The clarity is incredible.

    iMac "green light of death" revisited. Any Mac hardware techs out there?

    Thanks for the advice, but I have already tried resetting the PRAM, CUDA, and everything else on the machine. The problem I am having is a hardware level failure and isn't something that can be fixed by a firmware reset.

    iMac "green light of death" revisited. Any Mac hardware techs out there?

    Thanks! I'm hoping I will be able to repair the existing analog board, but if worse comes to worse, I may have to just replace it. Hopefully not ;).
