Hey all. There is a local band in CO that has a Myspace page, but have not enabled downloads on their music page. I would like to know if it's possible through software and a simple sound card, to record the music off his myspace page somehow? If this is possible, any tips would be greatly...

Hey all. I have a fairly dated system and want to play Crysis with the best settings possible. I'm running everything on medium right now at 1024x768 and am getting by all right, but I want to know what component I should think about upgrading to get the best performance I can. Here are my...

As far as the No-name brand durability goes, I have an Everex notebook that is much much more durable than my previous Toshiba model. The only downside is the lack of replacement parts like said above. They're a great brand with great products.

Hey all. Here's my problem... I'm at work and would like to get on yahoo and play some poker, but when I try to connect to a room it won't let me in because I either have a firewall turned on, and not connected to the internet, or the room server is down. I'm guessing it's the firewall issue...

Perfect! Even says compatible with s2xxx! Price is kinda high but I may be able to find something lower for that model other that Toshiba Direct. Thanx a million!

Hey all! I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S2081 which only has a battery life of ~1.25 hours. I went to Newegg and found this which states in the description that it should be compatible with my notebook model. Turns out that it's not compatible :(. Has the exact same shape and clip-ins, but...

I got a Toshiba A105-2081 yesterday with only 256mb DDR2 SODIMM 200pin PC-4200 ram so I decided to hit up the local bestbuy for a memory upgrade. At first I got the cheapest they had in a 2x512 config (forgot the brand name, but it sounded very generic) and popped both in. It powers up and...

That's right I didn't take into account the dual channel factor. Thanx for the input, I think i'll be going the 2x512 route. I was surprised that the system handled XP as well as it did with only 256mb either way. Can't wait to see how it'll run on a gig though still. Thanx again!

Hey all, I just picked up a new laptop (Toshiba A105-2081) for a great great bargain of $280 new from my sister who got it as a gift for school. It's as low budget as they come these days but here's some of the specs: Celeron M 1.6ghz 40gb HDD Integrated graphics 256mb DDR2 pc4200 The...

I found an open box DS3 on Newegg for 99.99 so I thought i'd snatch it up. But after all the input i think i'm gonna save up a little longer for the new ram needed for a better overclock.

Yeah i got confused there too... So if the multiplier is higher, such as an E6600 or E6700, I would be able to hit higher clocks with the lower memory that I have. But those chips are quite expensive. It looks as though I would be better off price-wise getting the DS3 now, and waiting a...

Well thanx very much for the needed info. That's a bummer, cuz i'm finding the DS3 as low as $100 right now. Would it be a bad decission to upgrade (and downgrade) my ram from 2gb 667 to 1gb of fast memory? And if so, what memory would you suggest that isn't too awfully expensive that will...

I currently run a pentium D 940 and will be slowly (but surely) migrating my system to core 2 duo. My plan is to first purchase the DS3 motherboard and run my 940 until I can afford an E6300. I'm on a really tight budget right now and cannot afford to make both purchases at once. With the DS3...

That system looks like sh*t. But nice overclock :) I wish I could get that out my my PD 945.

Memory is PQI Turbo 4x512 4-4-4-12 with a heat spreader. It overclocks fine, but i've never tried to get it up to 800mhz since my motherboard won't push my CPU that high. It's not the greatest overclocking board, but i usually run the memory at 720mhz... Just not sure how far I can take it...
