1. I'm terrible at these "negotiation deals," in part because I feel sheepish about bargaining (which is admittedly dumb). 2. Despite #1, I just picked one of these up at a Chicago OD for 98.74. I called around to three stores: one didn't know what I was talking about, the second said the...

Does anyone have any info on the GeForce 3 Ti200 card? Is anyone using it (with or without a K7s5A)?

Though I built this thing myself, it's clear that any idiot can do that, such that one year later, I still really don't know what the hell I'm doing and am in way over my head in most of these message boards. Thus, I continue on my nothing to add, everything to gain posts: I am running an...

I want to do some vocal narration for a set of still image clips I am putting together. I have CoolEdit as well as GoldWave but a crappy pc mic (what came with my system). 1. Can anyone recommend a good mic to use for this purpose? Most of what is out there is for voice recognition...

Refresh. Up. Anyone?

Kazaa-Lite is the way to go. In my experience, EDonkey is much slower . . .

** Is it possible to capture clips from a DVD from a DVD-ROM drive in your PC? ** If so, does any basic DV Editing software give you this capability? ** If not, I'm assuming the only way to accomplish this task is to either: 1) Use an external DVD player and a firewire card in conjunction...

Other than knowing that IDE stands for Integrated Device Electronics, I know nothing. Can someone recommend a decent source (website, book, etc.) where I can hone my hardware knowledge?

I have a: LiteOn 166S 16X DVD-ROM LiteOn 32x12x40 CD-RW Running on an Windows XP-PRO based Athlon XP1700+, ECS K7S5A. I am utilizing the on-board sound (embarassing I know but I was pinching pennies and I have yet to upgrade). Both drives have the "audio cable" attachment on their rear...

Funny, I was just going to post the same message when I searched for yours. Pursuant to the lifelong retainer issue: Why would the need to wear a retainer for the rest of your life be any different after Invisalign than with regular metal braces? I can't understand why the method of moving...

Quick question: Several users had posted messages regarding formatting the existing c: drive to reinstall Windows XP and several users responded that this can be done by booting to the CD (XP PRO) and installing "fresh," prior to which it gives you the option to format. I'm assuming that...

Learning a few lessons the hard (and stupid) way: 1) I am running an XP Pro version that my friend installed for me based on CDs he made from EDonkey/Kazaa-obtained files. 2) I never created "system disks" or backups of my system when it was running clean. 3) After trying to activate my Turbo...

Staples doesn't even list this product when you do a search for "Clie." Yesterday the thing was out of stock and was listed as "Clearance." (Are they even going to carry this anymore?). I called Staples.com yesterday and they didn't know when they were getting more in. Then today, it doesn't...

I just built my system with the Antec SX840. I purchased it from EMS Computing in Florida for $122 shipped. EMS does not have a very good reputation around here, but I had a flawless transaction. I did a lot of research prior to purchasing my case, and I think this is the best one around for...

I think I finally got Mobo Monitor to work, but I have a question. There are 6 onboard sensor options: Sis950/ITE8705F-1 Sis950/ITE8705F-1 Diode Sis950/ITE8705F-2 Sis950/ITE8705F-2 Diode Sis950/ITE8705F-3 Sis950/ITE8705F-3 Diode According to MBM's site, sensors 1, 2 and 3 correspond to: 1...
