    Best CPU/MB purchase within 2002

    Hello, I'm looking at buying a new computer by the end of 2002 - mostly anticipating some of the killer titles being released for xmas. I've tried to find information on AMDs and Intel's upcoming roadmap and haven't found much. I _really_ haven't been impressed with AMDs XP/MP and Intel's P4...

    midiland 4060 sub muffled

    Yup, all the connections seem ok. And nothing has changed nor is anything blocking it. Something else I forgot to mention...If I have something playing while it's off, then turn it on, it sounds normal for a fraction of a second, then goes back to being muffled. Not sure if that's relevant. Karl

    Machine-made rounded cables - any probs?

    2 of my HDDs are next to each other and right next to the MOBO connector...I found that the cable didn't bend as well as a normal one would have...I wouldn't say it's a huge problem...since it worked..but it was a bit awkward. I guess I probably didn't need more than 4-6inches of cable...and...

    Samsung 900NF VS Sony CPD-G400

    Syborg, I could be wrong..but the diamondtron is manufactured by Mitsubishi...not samsung...not that it changes anything. But I agree..the 900NF can hit amazing resolutions at very good refresh rate...it was by far the best. i can actually put mine at 1600x1200 and still see things pretty...

    Samsung 900NF VS Sony CPD-G400

    Hey, Unfortunetly all I can tell you is that I have a 900NF and it works great. I have a 19" sony at work but not sure which kind...it's a trinitron though..so it could be the other one you are talking about. Anyways...the 2 horizontal wires on the 900NF are *much* more visible...but like...

    Why are all graphics card, lan card and sound card facing down ?

    maybe it's because the specification was designed in the southern hemisphere, in which case they are really pointing up *g* :))) Karl (yes, the shared isa/pci slot thing makes the most sense...but most of us forgot that since a lot of us have mobo's which don't have a (shared) ISA slot anymore).

    Hedgehog + 92-->60 = blowing or sucking

    I just ordered a Kanie Hedgehog 238M along with a 92mm-->60mm adapter and a 42.7CFM panaflo fan. I have an AOPEN HQ08 with an intake fan in the front bottom, one in a front bay, and the 2 exhaust over the PS + the PS exhaust. I know a lot of people don't like adapters, but I have noise...

    CAS2 vs CAS3 help

    Thanks... I guess more specifically, there's this place which is selling 512mb of PC133 really cheaply....but I'm afraid it might slow down my current memory. The ram in question is: http://www.ncix.com/shop/detail.cfm?id=6134 It's manufactures by NCP ..but I can't find much more information...

    CAS2 vs CAS3 help

    Can anyone explain what the difference between CAS2 and CAS3 is? Is the difference significant? Can you mix and match the two? and how do I know what my current memory is? Thanks, Karl

    AOC Dual Majesty Gold

    Has anyone tried this cooler or seen a good review? I'm quite anxious in replacing my FOP-38 with a dead-silent cooler without sacraficing too much perfomance (aka, I don't want a thermaltake cooler ;)) Thanks, Karl

    Samsung 900NF?

    What about the 900NF versus viewsonic's PF790 ? And is the better of the two above worth an extra $100(CND) over viewsonic's GS790? Thanks, Karl

    A7V can't boot up..new computer

    Well...I got a new a7v and it didn't work any better...so I'm starting to think like the rest of you that it's either a problem with another component (RAM) or me :) I bought the computer @ a store..which is where I got the Shikaram...they seemed very impressed with it..said they make less...
