Damn. Thanks for the help. I guess I'm going to Vista.

Memory for the Mac Pro is very expensive compared to the Dell and it is slower than the Dell memory as well. That is the downside to using the Xeon processors in the Mac Pro.

I am building a semi-new PC. I currently have an upgraded Dell 8300 (P4 3.0HT) and I am planning on buying an ASRock Dual-VSTA mobo & a Core 2 Duo and transferring everything else from my existing PC. Will I be able to transfer my Dell WinXP to the new system? I know a generic OEM license...

I'm trying to upgrade the video in my Dell 8300. I'm looking for a Dual DVI adapter because I have 2 LCDs already. There are a bunch of 6800 Ultra's on EBay. I want one but I'm worried that the power supply in my Dell isn't going to be able to hack it. I think it is only 300W. I have 2...

Wow. HIS has a bunch of dual DVI cards. Thanks!

I'm looking for a not too expensive AGP video card with 2 DVI ports. Any suggestions? Matt

Well, it looks like what I bought won't work as a client. I should have came here before we bought anything! The wireless network is in a hotel across the street for the use of their guests. Legally do I have permission to connect to their network, no, but I am not hacking into a private...

So, I need to tie my company's wired network to an open wireless network for internet access. Our DSL died and, basically, SBC sucks so we have no idea when it will be back up. There is an open wireless network that we can access from the office. We bought an access point (linksys BEFW11S4)...

The drive was set to off in the BIOS & the Dell drive was on cable select. This also explains why it was taking so long to burn CDs! Thanks guys!

I just bought a Dell 8300 & I put my old 60GB UDMA/133 drive in it in addition to the 80GB drive that came with it. Looking in IDE Primary channel listing in the hardware manager, it says that the second drive is only working at PIO speed, vs. the UDMA 5 speed of the first drive. What gives...

So I'm getting a laptop with a miniPCI modem/Ethernet card. The same laptop is available with 802.11b in a MiniPCI card. Is it possible to swap out the MiniPCI card? I know they aren't designed to be replaced, but could you do it, if you could get a compatible card? Thanks, Mattazuma

kermalou, you may want a bridge with an exernal antenna jack, so you can boost the signal if necessary.

Isaiah, that seemed to work. I'll test it out today. Thanks!

Yeah, I don't like Microsoft's dummy protection in Outlook 2k2.
