yeah, that's a drawback. But, I felt the added complexity of getting 64-bit to work reliably wasn't worth it. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's done. Anyway 3GB is better than 2GB. I'll be using SageTV and Meedio. I guess I decided MCE wasn't worth it when it first came out and you know how...

Hello, I'm about to build a new HD HTPC/gaming rig. Once it's built, what should I do next. I thought I'd use the Ultimate Boot CD to run Memtest and maybe a CPU stress program. And something to test the hard drive (UBCD includes various apps). Is there a better alternative? What are...

I had some trouble logging into Amex the other day (but not other bank/credit card sites), but didn't think much about it until I found out about this bug. Check my ISP, it said it was vulnerable, so I read about OpenDNS and switched to that. Slightly concerned about it, but a couple of points...

Just got an account! Thanks! Now I just need to figure out how to set something up. Thanks again!

I've used Norton Ghost 2003 numerous times to backup my computer without a problem. This time when the DOS version of Ghost came up, it froze. Rebooting led to the same thing. I tried every way to 'return to windows' and none worked. I then used WinXP to boot to the recovery console. I...

I had an emergency situation, so I went up there and picked one up after work. Actually, I got the 250GB WD drive for $109 (WD2500JD). Tax brought it up to $116 and change, so a little more than Newegg, but I got it today. Newegg is a great shipper, but they can't beat picking it up same day...

Really? I'm searching everywhere not really finding any info. Do you have any links or info on a fix? That really sucks. I got a deal on the card, but I want my computer to sleep. I may have to take it back.

It's a 380W TruPower that came in the Antec Overture case. Other power consumers are 2 HDD, 1 DVD-Rom, PVR250, M-Audio Revolution, P4 3.2 w/ Zalman 7000 HSF, and a case fan.

Hi I just upgraded from a Radeon 9600 to the BFG 6800OC. This PC is in my living room hooked up to a 56" DLP. The problem is that when my computer wakes from suspend (S3), the screen is black and the computer is nonresponsive. This wasn't a problem with the 9600. I downloaded the newest...

It rung up at $270 for me in Atlanta (Southlake). If you don't get the $30 off, you should ask like someone else mentioned. When the clerk first rang it up, it showed $300. A screen popped up and she hit a button and it changed to $270. And I don't think returning HL will work. They'll...

Thanks. It looks like the 2.8 is quite a bit cooler than the 3.0 or 3.2, which are about the same (70W to 82W Power Dissipation). 2.8 was my original target, so maybe I'll stick with that if they have it. I just thought the 3.2 price was pretty good. That's also why I wasn't sure if it's a...

I have an HTPC running on a celeron 2.0 and want to upgrade. I want to start playing some games on my HDTV as well as use ffdshow to process dvds/videos. I'm planning on getting at least a 2.8 P4. Since noise is an issue, heat is an issue. Is there a major difference in the heat generated...

Damnit! You just bet me!

So Long

Maybe. This is in the Atlanta area. The CC with the 3499 price is in Buckhead, but the BB and HHG with the 2950 price are in Fayetteville, if that helps anyone. BTW, the delivery goes should be here in the next hour or so!!!!!
