    anyone know where i can donate old stuff to?

    Check out freecycle.org. They may have a group in OC. It wouldn't be for charities, but you should be able to unload some of those with pickup. Its usually just a bulletin board. You post what you want to give away, and people post whether they want it. Worked out great to get rid of an old...

    Gigabyte or Asus SLi?

    There are two Gigabyte boards as well. The GA-K8NXP SLI and the GA-K8NU or Ultra SLI (seen listed as either). The latter lacks the DPS module, the wireless card, and has a passive northbridge heatsink. Otherwise it appears identical to the K8NXP. I would think the K8NU would make for a...

    Is this worth it? 6600gt vs X800

    Actually the 6600GT is $220 shipped at ZZF. I figure between the Turbo charge and the passive cooling, the extra $20 is fine compared to others considering I'd replace the fans, invalidating the warranties. The X800 is $265. That AGP card is a great deal. My board is PCIe though. Plus the...

    Is this worth it? 6600gt vs X800

    I'm looking at passively cooled mid-range video cards for my new build. I was all set to order the Gigabyte 6600GT Turbo Force card and then I saw a review on the Gigabyte X800 w/256MB Turbo Force. Both are passively cooled. My motherboard is SLI capable, but I'm not likely planning to go...

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    You think that's fast? I ordered yesterday (Thursday) at about 2:30pm. It was on my door step when I left for work today (Friday) at 9am. Needless to say, I was a bit blown away!

    Antec SLK3000-B case $29.82 new ($17 s/h)!

    Thanks for the deal! The local computer centers don't have this in stock. This seems to be the best deal on-line. BTW. It's up to $30.10 now.

    Logitech MX Duo and my lost middle button

    Problem resolved. Apparently just changing the button mapping and hitting apply doesn't do the trick. The machine needs to be rebooted as well. So mapped to middle button, rebooted and voila! Scroll wheel and middle click all back. Thanks again for the responses.

    Logitech MX Duo and my lost middle button

    I appreciate the responses. I was hoping there was something that could be done without stopping mouseware. I agree, I don't think disabling mouseware will affect the wireless reception, but I suspect all the shiny new buttons on the mouse will be disabled. This problem just irks me. I can't...

    Logitech MX Duo and my lost middle button

    Hi, Received the Logitech MX Duo set for Christmas and so far I'm enjoying it. My only complaint is it seems I've lost my middle button functionality. The scroll wheel scrolls, but I often use the middle scroll to open links in new tabs in firefox. But now I can't do that for some reason. I...

    Upgrade from 98SE to XP Pro or better to do clean full install?

    Just make sure your Win98 CD is not a recovery only CD, otherwise the XP upgrade version may not work for you. Or just find someone who has a CD of full 98, ME, etc. ;)
