    Apple Hard Drives?

    For laptop 2.5" hard disks, does it matter if it was used originally on a Mac laptop? I have a Dell laptop and recently my hard disk crapped out on me. I saw an Apple hard drive (Seagate just like mine) for sale for pretty cheap so I'm wondering if it will be compatible. Thanks.

    AMD A64 3800+ $168 with free ship @ ZZF

    Oh yea forgot to mention that this is the S939 version (Venice) not the AM2 (Orleans) version. The one they sell at MWave.com is the AM2 version which is apparently cheaper. The S939 at MWave is $200. And as someone mentioned, it is SINGLE CORE!

    If AMD waits too long to drop prices, I will go with Intel

    I am actually looking to buy a new PC this summer and originally wanted to buy an X2 processor but when the new Intel estimated prices came out yesterday for the Core 2 duos, it just doesn't make sense for me to buy an AMD processor right now since the new Core 2 Duos will definitely beat out...

    My personal, self-made computer Case.

    Theoretically it's a good idea and I'm sure that it will provide good cooling. Economically, I doubt anyone will want to build this. Same reason you don't see too many water cooled cases. I don't recall seeing any costs on that page and in the world of business margin is a huge thing. How much...

    Heavy heatsinks

    I think I read somewhere that most motherboards can "officially" support something like 400g heatsinks but most good heatsinks are over that amount by quite a bit. Is this something to seriously consider? I know that it probably doesn't matter but for some reason I still have doubts in the back...

    Non-native gaming

    If I have a 20.1" LCD with a native of 1680x1050 how bad is the quality if I switch down to around 1280 res for gaming? Maybe someone with a viewsonic 2025wm can answer this? Thanks.

    Overclocking latency vs FSB

    I tried doing a search on the forums but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm planning to get an Opteron 165 with a8n32-sli but a lil confused about what memory to buy. Would I see better performance with high FSB and low latency or the other way around? Mostly be used for gaming. I...

    wide screen resolution support

    What happens with the video on a widescreen LCD with a native resolution of 1680x1050 when the video card can only support the standard 16:9 or 4:3 resolutions?
