    New to Orlando, in need of a good computer store

    I am in Orlando for 3 weeks and I am looking for a good computer store to buy stuff at. The computer stores where I am from don't carry much, so anything is helpful. I am looking for a place that sell a nice assortment of motherboards and other accessories (I am particularly looking for the...

    According to videohelp, the media code for the 8x dvd+r discs is PHILIPS.C08. I guess I will find out tomorrow if this deal was just a local weekend thing or not.

    Hot? Office Depot 50 pack (2x25) 8x DVD+R $29.00

    What is the details of this deal? I can't find anything about memorex dvd+r on sale, let alone buy 1 get 1 free. I would like to jump on this myself if this is a real deal nationwide.

    (YMMV) Verbatim 25-Pack 4x DigitalMovie DVD-R Disc

    I believe this is a misprint. If you place the cursor on the DigitalMovie DVD-R photo, it will display a 50 pack of verbatim cd-rs instead. Also when you do a "browse by brand" on verbatim in the weekly specials section, it will display a 50 pack of dvd-r and cd-r. I hope that I am wrong. I...

    Weird 9800pro problem

    I tried that also, didn't help. I looked at the cable and it is screwed in all the way. It hasn't messed up yet, but I am going to get a antec 430 in a few minutes just to make sure. Again, thanks for the responses.

    Weird 9800pro problem

    I just bought this card and I ran all of the recommended video test such as 3dmark 2k1 and 2k3 and I received no problems. But all of a sudden, out of the blue, I will get a random video problem. Example 1: The monitor will go blank and say, "out of range". Example 2: Screen will turn...

    Need Help w/ New A64 system

    I just got off of the phone with aopen and they said that I got part of some bad batch of boards. They recommended me to send it back to mwave and exchange it for another. But chances are it will be bad also. They would take the board back, but they said it will take about 3 weeks. I am...

    Need Help w/ New A64 system

    I am running the memory at 2.6v. Sometimes I played with the voltage +-.5v to see if it would help. I have tried to lower the speed and I have the same problem. It will either lock up in the middle of something or the board won't accept the settings and will reset them to default.
