3 more good reasons not to do a major upgrade for a few months (mid summer we beg): 1) DDR2 2) PCI Express 3) BTX

i'd avoid microatx if your gaming rig is on a monetary diet. a micro-atx gaming rig will cost more than a standard atx rig with similar performance. if you go microatx, your mobo will be the "driver" as far as performance. considering your budget, it will be hard to find one that does full size...

sorry to hear that your car got broken in to. crack heads normally don't carry tools to disassemble amps, blocks, caps...etc. also, a crack head wouldn't leave without the 6pack, that's worth a hit if his god happens to be thirsty. if you didn't have those 10's you'd attract less theives...

hmm, this thread could be useful for filling in between the lines after googling about. i'll give it a shot: i need some assistance getting Mandrake 9.1 installed on my desktop's Promise Fasttrack TX2 RAID-0 array. i'll start off by mentioning that i have the correct partitions setup already...

maybe at Mc Master

ty jliechty & Assimilator1. i'll give my server a go at F@H. it has a PIII-450 with 256MB ram, and i don't see much swapping (if any) most of the time. my forums can require some cycles when they are active, but i'll test to see if F@H is stealing any. nweaver, join us and be assimilated! btw...

strongshock on duty. :) this is my first go at DC. i have 2 of my pcs setup. the first is a p3-700 laptop, which probably won't help much since it's only on during the hours i'm using it. the second is my p4-1.6a@2.2GHz, which should be a workhorse 99% of the time while i'm not gaming or...

the 2.4b is worth overclocking. any desktop PC CPU is worth an overclock for that matter. i have no experience with your mobo. given it isn't an OCers choice, you probably won't find many who have OCed it. you need to check your mobo manual to see if it has jumpers for FSB clock & how they are...

tesla was awesome period. i can't wait to see pics of your tribute project(s).

considering the answers you've been getting, these are not stupid questions. most lighted fans use LEDs, some more expensive ones use cathodes (CC). wether it's lit with an LED or CC, most lighted fans are made of clear plastic so the light transmits throughout the fan parts. those common...

sao123 is correct. from what we know, pluto & neptune will not cross paths. that diagram on dosxx doesn't state whether it views from the x or y. however, i know that the perigee of pluto (part of orbit nearest the sun), where a projection to the x-y plane of both planets paths meets, does occur...

if your ISP doesn't specifically support v92, there are a 2 problems i'm aware of: 1) you may have to configure your driver to use v90 to even be able to connect to your ISP. i had to deal with this case using Corecomm before. i couldn't connect with my v92 drivers enabled, which made my modem...

garion has assumed you know about domains & dns. if you did you may know about dyndns.org, but that's unlikely since you run win2k server. if you're new to webserving, no offense, i recommend you read at least one of the below guides: DSL/Cable Server DIY Webserver DIY Webserver...

have you checked your MTU & RWin? it is also possible hard-reseting the router will work.

Pex, we need a little more info: A) are you saying there is one cable connecting your house to the university network & your house has working ethernet connections in multiple rooms? or B) one cable connects your PC directly to school's the network? if you are unsure of the cabling layout...
