    How to select a good DVD writer

    As for media, I've been using FujiFilm DVD+R Media 16x, it burns real well no problems. If you have a BJ's price club near you, they have a great sale on them I just picked up some today. 50pk ($20 reg price minus $10 sale for today minus $5 rebate = 5.00 total price) not bad... good luck

    I want to watch divx/xvid on commute - what should I get?

    You can get a pocketpc PDA, I have a Dell x50v, that might be a little bit of your price range, I'm not sure if Dell still sells the x30 High, which also plays Divx videos as well. My new Toy (Treo650 PalmPDA/Phone) also plays divx videos as well, You will need a program called TCPMP, its free...

The key thing to any install dont panic when it doesn't work the first time you power it on (unless u see a flash of light and a puff of smoke) its probably a card that needs to be...

    Motherboard or CPU Issue?

    well since this new case I recently purchased dont have a speaker built in, I couldnt hear if the motherboard was giving me any alarms before it did cut off, but tonite when I install the new heatsink and It boots up ok, then I will know for sure that was CPU/Heat problem.

    The X800XL and F.E.A.R.

    Why don't you just download it and find out (its free). I tried it on my x800xl a while ago when I only had 1GB of RAM, there was a bit of stuttering but nothing much to affect the gameplay, I had most of the settings set on high at the time since it was my first time running the game. I have...

    Motherboard or CPU Issue?

    I never said it booted up, it just turned on and stayed on without shutting off, thats how I zeroed in on that the problem was a processor problem. My new fan and thermal compound should be here today, so Hopefully everything will be back to normal. Is it common for thermal compound to dry up...

    Actually Let me clarify my last post, It was the thermal compound that I took off, (it happened to be the same color of the heatsink). I decided against using it because it would be to risky so I ordered a new CPU fan and arctic silver 5.

    Motherboard or CPU Issue?

    I have been using a 3.2mhz processor and a P4C800-E deluxe mobo for about a year now, last night when I turned on my system It would boot up and shut right off, after the memory test completed. I tried the power button again, but the same thing continued, no warning or anything just shut off. So...
