My friend recently assembled a Athlon-based system, consisting of a Lian-Li PC60 case, Enermax power supply, Iwill KK266, and Athlon 1.4. The problem is, when shutdown through Windows (2000) rather than using the power button to shut it down, instead of turning off, it turns off momentarily then...

Friend and I working on setting up small business network at doctor's office. As they might want DSL in the future, we purchased Linksys 4-port switch DSL Router, which I already have at home and have enjoyed using for some time. The network consists of two ancient win95 boxes that were...

Haha, we get that audio CDs can't match Analog LPs, and that DVD audio will be far superior (I, for one, am looking forward to it greatly, being able to tell the difference between each of the standard bitrates of mp3 and real cds). However, there is on the horizon hope in the form of Mp3pro...

Thanks guys, buy upgrading to 2k on my own, and using my previously bought copy of office 2k over their bloated office xp, I should be able to save quite a bit of dough.

Bozo, where did you get an unreleased MSI MP board? It was my perception that such a thing did not exist as of yet, and wouldn't for several months. The only Dual-Athlon capable board is the Tyan Thunder.

Why I don't see why it should really make a difference, I know from experience that a CD burned at a higher speed (say 8x) is more likely to skip after light usage than a CD burned at a lower speed (i.e. 2x). This applies to music CDs in my car stereo. I don't know in theory why this would...

If I buy a laptop from Dell (Inspiron 8000), is it a possible task to change the os, or would that cause me more headaches than it's worth to save the money (buy ME system and use my copy of Win2K to upgrade)? I know EULA allows you to install on one laptop as well as your primary comp, so I...

hehe, good guess ;) you're right.

Hmm... there could be studying involved, but I'm not quite sure yet. I know the little sony's look bomb, but I want a real computer (i.e. full both gaming and professional performance). If I decide to give up video games, maybe, but I'm more interested in any comments anyone has on the...

Also, anyone know of the arrival date of the Tualatin mobile proc. from Intel, or if Dell will ever carry Athlon 4 (I know that's just a wet dream, haha)

Leaving for college and probably want a notebook cuz I don't want to take up my whole dorm room with my comp. I'm looking at the Dell Inspiron 8000 series, but I'm open to other manufacturers. Just looking for some general advice from people who already own this system, and wondering if there...

Any more ideas??

Hey, pulled everything in my system except my video card, reformatted and reinstalled windows, stil the same problem, put the nic back in to connect and get some more help. Could this be a problem with my AGP slot itself? or maybe RAM? and Rastus, my fan's seem to be going ok.

Thought I might list my hardware conflicts, seems like a long list to me, maybe this is the problem, here ya go... [Conflicts/Sharing] Resource Device IRQ 10 ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering IRQ 10 ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering IRQ 10 Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host...

Don't know if anyone's even reading this thread, but I thought I'd post some more information which might help someone tell me what's going wrong. First, my CPU load always reads 100%, no matter what I do and what progs I close (hidden and visible). Second, I'm posting my Conflicts list from...
