okay, my roommate is looking for a really cheap puter and he only has $400 to spend, but his old one is about to explode (almost literally :). so we were looking around for him on the net, thinking that we might be able to get him like a celeron 300 or something like that. but we found some...

i have a set of address labels that i have merged into wordperfedt from a database. there are about 1000 names, and since i need to send bulk mail, they all need to be in zip code order. (and sorting by hand is not an option, duh) under the sort function, i have set up a new sort called...

i dont know the model no. off hand, but i have a toshiba that is 40x/12x and it is very, very quiet. if there is something else gong on in the room, you almost have to watch to know when it spins back up.

i am in the market for a personal laser printer, at work i use an hp 1100, so that is what i have to compare to. i would get a 1100, but it is rather expensive. the samsung 4500 and 4600 are prety cheap, but are they "cheap" too? do you get what you pay for? does anyone know who...

I have Toshiba's 12x/40x, nice and quiet. I got it for $80 plus s&h. go check out pricewatch.

while watching movies. Then the movie freezes, and then pins up then freezes. About every 10-15 sec. How do I fix this? Thanks.

anyone???

I was watching a dvd on my computer tonight, and during the middle portion of the movie, it would pause for a few seconds evry 15 to 20 seconds. Each time, as soon as the movie froze, I could hear the drive spin back up, and then themovie would continue for 15 to 20 seconds and then...

I can see the screen flickering like if you were running it at a really low refresh rate, only its not really low, its 85hz. (I use the function on the monitor's built in menu to see what the refresh rate is, FYI).

I am running this monitor at 1280x1024, and the refresh rate is 85hz. Now, sometimes I can see it refreshing , and sometimes I can't. Why is this? Either way the refresh rate is the same, at 85hz. Thanks.

I downloaded the new drivers and installed them, but I don't think that is what fixed the problem. On SigmaDesign's website, they said that if there was "x" problem, to insert the *disk* and run the setup. When I got mine, it did not some with disks, just the DVD. I couldn't run the...

I have a Hollywood Plus Decoder and a Toshiba DVD (model no. SD-M1402) And when I start up the player, I get an error message: "MMSYSTEM 275" It also tells me that I need to enter the region code, and when I try to, it won't let me. I don't know if these are related, but either way...

Sweet dude!! Thanks!! Who's the man?? WindWalker's the man!! (Chili's is my favortie resaurant. :) )

I have heard that people love the monitor and that people hate it. I have heard that it is grainy at high resolutions and I have heard that you can remove that problem via the built-in control panel. Could you please relate both your good and your bad experiences with this monitor? Also, is...

Be careful, I have heard that the OEM versions on the radeon are not the same as the retail. I do not remember exactly what it was, but I believe that it was mentioned in the anandtech budget card round-up or whatever it's called. Could be wrong tho.......
