    Refresh rate problems

    Not at all. If you have something like florecent lights in the room it can cause an effect like a visual resonant frequency. Look at a CRT through a video camera. The freqencies don't match so you see a line moving through the screen. If the frequencies match or are multiples this line is more...

    Simple Folder Problem

    Click on the 'Folders' button at the top of that screen. **EDIT** I may have misunderstood. You may be looking for: Tools - Folder Options - General Tab - Tasks - Show Common Tasks in Folders

    USB 2.0 vs IDE for Data Transfer

    Go with Firewire or USB. Even if the transfer is 10-20% slower than IDE you will save alot of time not hassling with hardware. Firewire 400 data transfers are about 20% faster that USB 2.0. I usually still prefer USB because every computer has a USB port. Makes the equipment a little more...

    First Build- with PICS!

    Nice job. That's a great system. One suggestion though; cover up those rear slot openings. You don't want to much air being sucked in through the back there. It will ruin the airflow through the case.

    Wow. I never saw this website before.

    I found this the other day as well. I like the www.DNSreport.com link on the page. Rackspace messed up our DNS last week and it's a quick way to check on it. They were quick at correcting their error, but it still took a few hours for the fixes to propagate.

    Wireless problem

    First thing I would do is see if the pc is getting a valid IP address. Can you access the router menu through a web browser? This will confirm that the router and pc are talking ok.

    Refresh rate problems

    Why not run at a more reasonable refresh rate. I've never seen the need to go over 100Hz. Why do you need it so high? The irony is that at 120Hz you may end up with the same eye strain or flickering problems people have at 60Hz beacuase it's a multiple of the 60Hz line frequency.

    Is Audigy 2 zs better than Intel HD audio with realtek ALC 882?

    This was about 1.5 years ago, I took the card back. As soon as I pulled it out everything worked fine again. BTW, I don't have a good ear for sound; there may have been a difference, but I couldn't hear it.

    Is Audigy 2 zs better than Intel HD audio with realtek ALC 882?

    I had nothing but driver trouble with my Audigy 2. I'm more than happy with my onboard Realtek sound, and I really couldn't tell the difference.

    Very Slow Startup

    The jumper setting for a single WD ata drive is actually no jumper. Master should only be used in a master/slave setup. CS will work, but the sticker on the drive wil say no jumper for a single drive.

    DNS Lookup Issues

    Ok, you'll need the blood of a newborn goat, the feather from a South African Ostrich..... Oh nevermind, have you tried kicking it? Have you tried other nodes like mixed maybe? I really am out of ideas and haven't been much help so far. I wish you good luck.

    DNS Lookup Issues

    I suppose you are right. But where I work the domain users are added to the local admins group of their pc.... Centralized management? What's that? :P I guess I'm used to it.

    DNS Lookup Issues

    Nbtstat is used to display NetBIOS over TCP/IP. I would turn it back on. The only item listed is a FQDN. For things to work smoothly you should see NetBIOS names there. I think Spidey07 has the right idea with the WINS server. Or you could create a LMHosts file for each computer (as long as...
