Ok cool, thanks for the help. I think I've narrowed down my choice now to either the Hitachi or Samsung. I haven't really checked into seagate much and its the more expensive of the 3, so I think I'll steer away from it on this purchase. As for my system specs, they fairly good as compared to...

Forgot to mention, that all three are the EIDE versions.

Well, I've decided to upgrade from my ancient 13gb hard drive and get a 160. Can't decide on which brand though. I've always used western digital and had no problems, and don't have much experience with those other 2 manufacturers. From what I've read lately though, many people have problems...

Ok, so I got a cable modem and 2 computers. The router im planning on getting is the linksys 802.11b BEFW11S4. Now a couple questions about it. Am I going to be able to have only 1 computer wireless? The 1st computer will be right by the modem, and router, so can I just hook in a rj45 from a...

Well, I am wanting to upgrade from my GF3 Ti200. I wanted to wait for the new x800 cards to come out. I found a 9800 pro on newegg for 175. Question is, should I go ahead and buy it at this price. Or are prices likely to go down anymore in like the next month?

Hi, Not sure if I got a virus or what. But sometimes, if I click internet explorer on the desktop, it will open like 80 instances of it even if I just double click once. Also, if I go to the start menu and move up to a program it will open it even if I don't click on it. I've tried 2 mouses and...

Ok, So how do I reinstall the OS if I can't get windows to run? I'm a noob to Win XP.

Hi, Just got an Asus a7n8x-x and a xp2500+. It loads up the bios and everything fine and recognizes the hard drives, and ram, and cpu and what not. Then that thing comes up saying like windows didn't load successfully and whta I wanted to do. So I tried like all the options, safe mode...

Well, I stopped by fry's today and low and behold they had a week 31 2500+ so I picked it up. Ok, I am gonna the asus A7N8X off new egg. I'm not sure which one to get though. Do I want the one that is 73.99 or the one that is 87.99?

I am prolly gonna end up getting a 2800+,lol. I'm also changing my mind daily johnny. On the 2800+ though, can it be o/c to 3200+ speeds?

Well I was gonna get a 2500+ but it seems most are locked now. (regardless I'm heading to frys in the morning to see if they have any unlocked ones left). But assuming they don't, I think I am gonna go with a 2800+. So I'm wondering if they are multiplier locked or not? Kinda on a side note...

AHHH, all these new opinions. I'm at a loss of what to do now. Instead of buying a new cpu right now, would I be better off getting say a GF Fx5900 nu? I currently have an athlon xp 1800+ , gf3 ti 200. I just don't know what to do.

I'm not very knowledgeable about P4's so whats that "c" stand for? Is that your core. And also, are you o/c w/ multiplier or fsb? Thanks. Also, since I'm heading to fry's today, if I see a 2500 unlocked I'm gonna go ahead and buy it.

Well, I personally was gonna get a 2800+ but people say the 2500+ easily o/c's to 3200+ speeds so.........

I got another question. Some guy in a different thread said the new bartons have their multiplier locked and so you have to increase fsb to o/c. Well I'm wondering, will it run stable with a higher fsb at around 3200+ speeds? Also, does anyone know if the bartons from newegg are locked? thanks.
