Ok, don't mean to dump on the thread, but there have already been many people who agree that these don't last very long. A comparable bulb (some say its slightly brighter, some say its slightly dimmer) is the Philips Vision Plus. (google them..) You can get it here for $28us a pair. Right...

From what I read on the HP rebate form, it is valid. However, good luck finding a Staples store that would sell it to you for $99.95. I can only find one store that have 1 remaining (mid-east michigan) and they won't match the original poster's (NH staples) clearance price even though they...

Several things: As other have posted, getting documents noterized(sp??) cost very little ($2 at the local "Mailboxes Etc..) You get $70 ONLY if you paid for (and have receipt) a repair. For those who still have a sales receipt, its $20 + repair kit. Now... after reading the PDF file.... you...

Thats what that tray is for. It catches ALL The fat and juices so you pour it back on when you're done! ;-) BTW, anyone have free shipping/$$ off coupons for Amazon? I'm looking at buying a $20-30 book with this..

Hmm.. i got the drive. It doesn't seem to burn audio. I tried buring data, VCD, but when I try to burn WAV files (convert from winAMP), it craps out. Track at once OR DAO mode. (all fast and slow speeD) Both the latest version of Nero (5.5.8.0) and the software that comes with it doesn't...

Its definitely a good deal. First of all, noise and heat does make a difference! Especially for those who uses a smaller case or have their PC in a tight spot. 2nd. Have you seen any statistics that 7200rpm drives being 1/3 faster than 5400rpm drives?! I doubt that 7200rpm drives are 1/3...

Theres the SV24 and SV25 on neweggs. Whats the difference? The SV25 seems to support the VIA CPU, and comes with a CPU fan, has a different chip set, but other than that, its $20 more.

Yup, I found out about the INSERT key boot after I read all 73 pages of the PDF manual. Very convenient. The highest I got was 114/38 FSB/PCI. Everything higher didn't POST. Its very stable right now at 1.75V + 0.025V. 63C temperature at heavy load. Last night, it went to 61C when it was...

Thanks JonnyGURU. I've tried 124/31 Mhz (FSB/PCI) with no luck (PC won't POST.. had to reset CMOS) since I was already at ~55Mhz with artic silver, I didn't want to up the voltage anymore.. Right now, I'm trying 109/33 and it seems stable. SISsoft Sandra numbers looks decent. I'll try a...

To answer my own questions (for future ref.) I left the DRAM voltage at default (2.65v) I set the FSB to 100Mhz (will try 133 tomorrow) I connected all of the case front USB plugs to 1 "cluster", matching (1) to the lft side, and the (2) to the right side. Both USB connectors works fine...

Yup, after putting the system together, I was surprised to find that in addition to a single FSP jumper for 100/133 Mhz, the biostar had the follow BIOS settings (soft switch): DRAM 100/133/Clock-speed CPU core voltage +/- in very small steps! CPU speed settings (with variable PCI clk speeds)...

I'm new to Durons, so if anyone have any experience with the following: I brought a Biostar M7V1B (KT266) with a AMD Duron 1gig (200Mhz) and an Evercase ($42 at neweggs). What should I set the onboard FSB to be? 100 or 133 Mhz? What should I set the DDR voltage? (default is 2.65v, settings...

I'm new with AMD (was Intel guy for the longest time).. I just brought a Duron 1gig, and was thinking about whether I can set my MB to 133 Mhz (only 100 or 133 on my Biostar M7VIB) without damage to the CPU/MB.. As an aside, I got PC2100 DDR ram, and there is a voltage setting for 2.55...

I ordered about 2 days after the first post, and I received it Feb 8. It was scheduled for Feb 8-12. However, I tracked it from Amazon from the Airport (DTW detroit) and bugged the shipper. It was Eagle something** from Amazon to Detroit, but then they transferred to a smaller shipper who...
