Hewlett Packard HP 90 1024x768 32 Bit 85 Hz It does the trick for me, I couldn't beat the price (free). If I ever paid for a monitor this size, I'd get something that was a lot less bulky.

I'm buying the white box from MWAVE

This is the card I'm looking to buy tommorrow, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts, or experience with it. I am using it primarily for DVD playback, some gaming, and output to TV for DVD veiwing.

I would go for the board with the best feature set. The performance gain/loss between ALI, and AMD760 is not noticable in a real world sense. Benchmarks only mean so much (bragging rights for tech heads). I went with the IWill board because it's easy to OC, and has a great feature set. And...

If you are using Window (I think that's all Gateway offers) you can alter the MSDOS.SYS file change the bootgui=1 line to bootgui=0. There is also a registry hack to do it, but I can't remember what it is off hand. http://www.pcforrest.freeserve.co.uk/reg_hacks.htm try that link, it might...

I'm using an IWill KA266-R with a 1.2 Athlon. So far I've been extremely impressed. The 4.1 built in sound is handy (I had a Platinum 5.1 on my last system) free's up some cash for other components till I can get another SB Live Plat 5.1. The board is extremely OCable. You can use jumpers or...

No, I ordered the KK thinking it did, and returned it for the KA266-r. If you do get the KA, make sure you really push hard when seating the DDR DIMMs, the take an enormous amount of pressure to seat correctly. I spent 2 days trying to POST my machine (and thinking I cracked the processor)...

I bought their PP-300X (ATX Rev 2.01) just curious to know if anyone has had dealings with them, and how it performed for you.

We have mirrored drives (hot swap) on our Proliant server at work. One of the drives made a horrible grinding noise, and died. I forgot that even though they are hot swap, you can't pull any drives out if any of the other drives are rebuilding. So, I yanked it out to get the part number...

I figured it out. I was using ECC modules, and the board doesn't support ECC

I can't get my board to POST. I've got an AMD 1200 cpu in it. I pulled the jumper off so the board is set for 133. Initially I would get one long BIOS beep. I switched my power supply from 115v to 230v and the beep went away, but it still won't do anything. I've tried it with an AGP card...
