The problem with this is that the web designer that you have to use is so utterly slow and feeble that you can really only do the most basic websites. And paying $30 a month to be able to create and maintain a basic website in html is nuts given the other cheap hosting providers out there.

My experience with TD is that it all depends on who's doing the rebate. I got a rebate on a Celeron no problem through erebates.com quite quickly. However, I made the mistake of ordering two items that have Mach Speed rebates. You have to wait at least 10 weeks after the end of the month in...

Absolutely right, if you need customer service, you're hosed. I'm still trying to get a refund for a defective video board I RMA's (yeah, with the number and all) over a month ago. Never again.

Insteresting idea, stevty, but.... Note that the SATA OS drive will boot fine when I use the BIOS manual boot-choose menu on startup and choose the SATA drive as my boot drive. So there's no problem with that OS. And on the other drives there are no OS files, and in fact, an OS has never...

I had something like this happen when I rebuilt with an socket 478 board with a Celeron 2.9. The fan/heatsink came with what looked like a big pad of heatsink compound, so I just popped it onto the CPU. Got the same symptoms you describe. I took off the heatsink, and it looked like the...

I have a MachSpeed P4M800 board, purchased in December 2005. Until recently, the board has been working fine. I recently added an SATA drive to the board. The board has 2 hard drives on channel 0 (IDE) One DVD drive (master) and one hard drive (slave) on channel 1 (IDE) One hard drive...

Any of these cards I should stay away from? For HDTV viewing (I'm using an Avermedia MCE-180 HDTV tuner card with the Nvidia mpeg-2 decoder), will I see any difference between 128MB and 256MB of video memory? Thanks very much. Asus N6600/TD GeForce 6600 AGP 8X 128MB Chaintech SA6600...

It is a heat issue. Opening the case and blowing a fan into it made the artifacts go away. I did some testing, and when the graphics card core temp hits 76 degrees C (which is the first yellow bar on the GPU core temp applet), the artifacts start appearing, and get worse as the temp goes up...

There have been quite a number of reports of MS MCE remotes just up and dying. Run a search at thegreenbutton.com (best of the MCE forums I know of).

I'm posting this here even though it might be MCE-specific since I'm at my wits end, hope someone can shed some light on this because of the high level of tech expertise around here. I'm getting strange artifacts playing HD TV in Windows Media Center 2005: I am getting artifacts on live...

I think the lastest WinDVD is bloated compared to the latest PowerDVD. I use the previous version, PowerDVD5, and it's fine for me. Can get it for a song from liguidators.

I tried both with no film editing experience, and found Vegas easier to figure out, but both camps have their adherents. The first release of Premiere was reportedly buggy & crash prone, but I'm betting that's been sorted out by now. The Vegas users are really fanatical about it, and there's a...

Sony Vegas rocks hot balls, but is overkill for what the OP want to do costs a buttload. However, check out Sony Vegas Movie Studio + DVD which is much like Vegas and the DVD Architect authoring program, but with fewer high end features. Has rebates at Best Buy. Should be a sweet package...

I have MCE 2005 and the MCE version of the card. I Hauppauge has what looks like viewing SW on their website, I downloaded, but didn't install it. I can tell you that the free DScaler will run the card just fine, at least on XP and I don't see why DScaler wouldn't run on win2k. Google for...
