    Windows Mobile 5 - how do I get AdHoc wireless to work? [fixed, nevermind]

    Note: I fixed the problem myself, sorry for the inconvenience I have an HP iPAQ, unknown model, and I'm trying to get it to speak to an IBM Thinkpad T30 laptop running XP Pro. I can get them both on the same wireless network, but the iPAQ can't ping or connect to the IP of the laptop...

    HP ZV5220US notebook PC - anyone use it?

    A friend of mine is considering buying one, but she doesn't want to get it if it's loud. Would you say it's fairly quiet? (talking about general usage, not necessarily during optical drive access) TIA

    ATI Radeon DDR 64mb or nVidia Geforce2 Pro DDR 64mb?

    Hmm... I am pretty big on image quality... The radeon isn't too horribly slow though, is it? I heard the T&L engine wasn't as mature as nVidia's...

    New T-Bird System Won't Stop Crashing?

    Voodoo3's pretty much require the bios to have Assign IRQ for VGA enabled to work. Try removing everything but the video card and any USB devices, and add them in one by one. I'd try removing the sound card first, I have a Vortex2 and it shares an IRQ with my USB ports, causing my burner to lock...

    My worst nightmare has come true

    Considering my luck, I doubt it was a mercy killing :P but it's cool to think so.

    ATI Radeon DDR 64mb or nVidia Geforce2 Pro DDR 64mb?

    What exactly are the advantages of the Radeon's 3 textures per something or other over the Geforce2's whatever it has? Does that mean it can just slap more textures over a model per clock cycle? What I'm really trying to say is I don't know which one I should get now that I know the texture...

    My worst nightmare has come true

    I'm hoping for a GTS Pro 64 mb, but after looking at that thread that was posted about the Register's article on Radeon beating the Geforce2 at nVidia's own test in image quality is kind of making me hesitate...

    Poll: How fast can you build a computer?

    provided I have the required tools (which includes any jumpers, screws, spacers screwdrivers etc) and adequate space, I'd say about 10 minutes. Add another couple minutes if there are multiple hard drives, cause I suck at finding the jumper descriptions on some drives :) [edit: Oh, was there a...

    ok, my hard drives are extremely loud :) How can I get them to be quieter while avoiding having them shut down every 2 minutes? I have to keep my case open to keep my computer cool, so the intensity is doubled over what it would be had I kept it closed.

    oh yeah... sorry Well, here's a question about hardware: Can I open my speakers and overclock them so they put out more watts? :)

    About 2 minutes if you exclude looking at the hot deals forum. My dad told me he'd get me whatever video card I wanted for christmas. I wanted a Geforce2 Pro 64 meg. He found the hot deals forum, there was a Geforce2 GTS 32 meg there for like $120. He wants to get that instead of the Pro 64...
