So noone has any solution, huh?

Hello. I had PacBell DSL (PPPoE) and my WRT54g worked great. I got a good deal on Adelphia Cable Modem (DHCP). Well, I switched it over, and my page loads seemed slower, though big downloads were faster. So I wrote a little program to reload a page over and over to check the speed, and it...

I know what you mean. But it was really having kids that killed my space. With no kids I had my own computer room, but after my 2nd kid I lost it.

Thanks for your replies. The back of the armoire is open, but there are lots of cables back there, and the armoire is only 2ish inches from the wall. You guys think that will allow enough air to flow through?

Hello all. My computer is in a computer armoire due to space reasons and spouse reasons. And I can't put it anywhere else. There is maybe 1 inch space on both side and 3 or 4 on the top and 3 or 4 in the back. The back leads to behind the armoire, but the air-flow I am sure there is...

18 months ago I bought a bfg ti 4200 which comes with a lifetime warranty and recently the fan stopped working, so I called BFG to see if they would send me a new fan. They said they could not send me a fan, and that I needed to send in the card, and they would send me an FX series card. They...

There are no bios drivers that will bump it up past 2100. OK, so I will pop it in and see what happens, but I think if it does not work on the Soyo, then I will just keep the ECS and sell the Soyo. Thanks. - Jeff

anybody?

Hello all. I have a Soyo Dragon Plus! with a 1700+ CPU, and it has been freezing up a lot lately, but when I put in another 1700+ there are no freeze-ups. So I go to Frys to get a new CPU and they have an ECS/2200+ Thornton deal for the same price as just the CPU, so I get it. But I would...

I just ordered a video camera from Onecall, and used the $20 coupon and everything was great. Card was charged correctly. I ordered it on Wednesday afternoon, around 4 pm PST, and had it shipped 3 day Fed-Ex and got it that Friday. I had called JandR to see if they would beat Onecall, and the...

I like the Compaq 1500T , but I'm trying to decide if I want the Mobile 1.4 Celery, or the 1.5C P4 (not mobile). Does anyone know how much faster the P4 is and what does the 'C' stand for. Is the speed difference worth $80?

There is 1 left at the Woodland Hills, Ca CC (there were 2, he he he). They price matched at 59.99 (YMMV) so with the $50 rebate I am happy. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the input. I actually jumped on this and got one, and am quite happy with it. But yesterday I was talking to a good friend, and he said that he would like one also. I gave him the details, but everywhere he looked, he got an 'Out of Stock' message. If there was a way to check...

How can you tell if there are any left at Staples? You can only type in one Zip code at a time, and the few that I have tried all say Out of Stock. Thanks for your help.

Hello all. I was at CompUSA yesterday to buy a power supply for an older system (Celeron 533) and picked up one whose normal price is 24.99. But it rang up for 14.88. Not a bad deal if you ask me. Don't know if it is available elsewhere, though.
