I'm building my dream system one part at a time. I want a great sound card and don?t want to let price be a factor in my decision. I just want a great card, regardless of the cost. Well I take that back, nothing ridiculous. For now, it's just music for me. I mainly listen to MP3z. I am...

I have decided to purchase the Klipsch Promedia 4.1s from outpost.com. I am uprading one part at a time. I have not upgraded the sound card yet. Belive it or not I am still running an SB16. I plan to upgrade that next, but I don't have the cash right now. Will this work with new speakers? How...

I am looking for some new speakers. I was thinking the Klipsch Promedias. What would you suggest? I am uprading one part at a time. I have not upgraded the sound card yet. Belive it or not I am still running an SB16. I don't care what y'all say, it's a great card. For so long, it could...

Thanks guys. I found the info on Maxtor's website and it worked like a charm. Thanks for all of your help.

Thanks fellas. I tried the limited cylinder thing and it works like a charm. It recognized as 32GB just like you said it would and eventually once I get my new mobo, I will be able to use the full 45GB. This thing is so fast compared to my old drive. Now I just need to set the old drive to...

I got the retail package, so I used the cable provided. This same cable works on my old hard drive. I am actually running an old p2-266. I know, I need to upgrade, but it is one part at a time for me. So, will it not recognize at all or just recognize at 20 GB? I know I have seen this in...

The red side fo the pin is on pin 1, I believe. It is facing the power. I have made this mistake before and this is the trick I was taught. It works installed this way on my old hard drive. I tried using 2 drives at first, but to avoid possible conflicts, I am currently running it with only...

I just got my IBM Deskstar 75GXP 45GB Retail today. I installed it and set everything to auto in the CMOS. It wouldn't detect. I tried all the same settings and cables with my old hard drive and it works perfectly. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong? Do any of you have any special tips...

I am looking for a high quality mid tower ATX case for my cousin. He wants something small, but I still want to get him something with good cooling and expandability. He does not overclock or do anything major like that. He does not plan on expanding a lot, but I want him to be able to do so...

Alright, I'm convinced. So, I'm going to order the Retail IBM Deskstar 75GXP 45GB from onvia.com I haven't installed a hard drive in a while. I am running Win2K. As far as I can remeber, all I do is put in the boot disk, run fdisk and partition, format, then install win2k. Is this all there...

I know, I love SCSI and intend on building an all SCSI machine one day. That is when I am building my dream machine for myself when MoneyDontMatter. This is just an upgrade for my dad. He does not like spending money and a SCSI controller and HDD are just out of the price range. That is all...

As far as I know cable has dyanmic IP, so it changes each time you sign on. This should tell you your IP. http://www.dslreports.com/ip I'mnot sure if this is what you are asking. I don't know what you guys are talking about. It sounds like you are looking for a static IP to me.

I am upgrading my computer one part at a time. Now it is time to upgrade the hard drive. I want very high quality with good performance. Money is not a big deal, but I am not looking for anything rediculous like SCSI. I an planning on buying the IBM Deskstar 75GXP 45GB from onvia.com Is...

what is cat6? I have never heard fo this. How is it different from cat5?

I'm just looking at my dsl line. Comming into the jack is cat 5 cable. Commming out of it is a pre-formed network cable with the connectors and shielding already on it that came with my router. These cabes are about 5x as thick as the cat5 comming in to the jack. If they are the same thing...
