    I heard something bad about RAID mobo???

    I've been considering the same thing man, till I read about the 30% deal. Just how big is 30% anyway? I plan on playing CS, maybe serving CS (counterstrike), video capture(radeon?) then linux(if i feel up to it), and the general mp3, burning stuff

    can I use a sloket to get the cvoltage below 2.0 when the mb doesn't support it?

    What motherboard do you have? I have the same problem with my Asus P2B-F. I've scoured Asus, and the newsgroups, It's still murky because some P2B-F's were built with a voltage regulator that would do the 1.65, while others were not

    Thank you paulip. Can you tell me how that works? I built my first system last year(celeron/P2B-F) What does the fsb of the Duron run at? and how is it different then the memory speed? If i remember correctly, I thought the FSB was also the memory speed.

    External modems: Serial or USB. What to do?

    I have a usb modem and My Q2 fps took 5-10fps hit. For example-you wouldnt be able to Play a mp3 on winamp, then connect to the internet. The mp3 will hang and skip like crazy till the modem is done.

    Opinions of Earthlink, any good ?

    I found mindspring better than earthlink..even tho they merged. Mindspring had fewer hops to my favorite server than Earthlink's #'s. I use Earthlink now for my DSL... Earthlink/Sprint FastConnect. I think you can use either mindspring or earthlink's POP #'s on your dialup account. I just wish...

    Using a HDTV as a monitor

    Thanks for asking this question Jay. I've been wondering about it for awhile too. I thought the HDTVs had a different aspect ratio than a video card could provide. (or is that what gurulegend is saying?) this was in August's maximum pc http://www.princetongraphics.com/products/ar27tar32t1.htm

    Is there an advantage/disadvantage to a USB vs. a PCI modem?

    I have the USB Supra Express and cant stand it. I cant even do simple things such as play mp3s and logon to the internet at the same time. (the mp3 will skip horribly) Avoid the usb modem at all costs. I've owned several modems in my quest for the perfect setup for online modem gaming (mainly...
