You know, the price wasn't really that unreasonable. You can get the HP stuff for about $10/GB, this was going for about $20 for 2GB. I don't usually jump on stuff if it sounds like an obvious price mistake and this certainly didn't. From my point of view it looked to me like they had stock...

I tried to e-mail them to change my shipping address to be the same as my billing address just to avoid the possibility of delay even though my shipping address is, in fact, on file. The reply was was: There's still a pending charge against my CC, so I dunno. I'm confused... I guess I'll...

Thanks for the info. I never realized that there were other chipsets with ICH-like features and I've read the SiS 755 review before. I guess I must have glossed over it. I've always wished that motherboard reviews and in particular chipset reviews gave more time to hard drive performance as...

I have been a big fan of HDTV for some time now. I have had a HiDTV Pro 2.0 HDTV PCI card on an Athlon XP based A7N8X Deluxe for quite sometime now. However, I would like to make this system a little more robust by moving Hard Drive subsystem off of the main PCI bus which tends to get...

Just got a AQXEA week 27 retail cpu from Newegg only 5 minutes ago. Looks like you should have pretty good luck going retail or OEM from Newegg.

A GF4 64mb 440Go should more than meet the min requirements. According to Firingsquad http://firingsquad.gamers.com/features/quakecon2002/page4.asp

I'm not 100% sure and I would guess even id Software would say they don't know for sure, but I would guess it would require DX8.1 at least, perhaps even DX9 depending on when it's finally released. However, id Software always uses OpenGL for their graphics and when Quake 3 came out I found it...

I have a GF2 card with a VIVO module that I use with a VCR plugged into it. I use Cyberlink's Power VCR to watch TV and for capturing. It works like a charm and I imagine that the Phillips encoder on my VIVO module is pretty much the same one used on most GF4s. Power VCR even has time...

That is a good question, I'm interested to know myself. I currently plug my XBox into the video in of my Radeon VIVO which yields pretty good quality, but it would be nice to be able to buy the XBox HD pack and plug it directly into my switch box for direct use with my monitor at higher...

Andy, I am really interested in your ACPI vs APM faq as well. I am getting ready to install win2k on a new raid machine that I've put together and the thought of ACPI conflicting with and causing slow downs on my shiny, brand new hard drives and other devices makes me feel uneasy. Truth is...

<< Plus, if it was internal diode enabled, it would be well reported across the various internet communities. >> That's exactly what I thought would happen, but of all the various reviews I've read of the Dragon, no mention has been made of it's temperature monitoring capabilities. Perhaps...

Hey, Wow, that worked! Strange mIrc won't allow zip files by default and that there's no obvious (to me) way of changing that, but as long as there is a way. Thanks for the info GhettoFob, it's now locked in the "things to remember" area of my brain.

I have been having downloading some zip files I want using mIrc and was wondering if anybody knew if and/or why the download of .zip files is blocked from my mIrc client. I can download .rar and so forth but the download of .zip files never seems to be initiated. I've looked through all the...

Any idea which component would be the external thermistor? I've scrutinized all the components in the CPU cavity and around the board and I can't identify what it would be. All the components I see in the cavity area where external thermistors are usually located look like resistors. If there...

I was wondering if anybody knew if the Soyo Dragon Plus (KT266A) is using the on-die thermistor included with every Athlon XP. I have this board and as far as I can tell it includes no external thermistor in the usual places, i.e. the cavity under the CPU. At least it doesn't include a...
