I have Comcast cable broadband and a Linksys 54g wireless router. After yet another outage (12+ hours) I had trouble getting two of my somputers back online. I went through the normal reset modem/router routine that normally does the trick. When everything came back online I noticed that only...

I see the error of my ways... But there is still the fact that my laptop will no longer reach the internet. I was doing nothing illegal on it, in fact I never have. I have had all kinds of connection troubles in the past but nothing like this. I am just wondering if anyone else has had...

I have DHCP enabled. It had been working for 9+ months before this past Sunday. I have an IP and the router seems to be fine. Does it seem like a provider problem if you can access you home LAN but not the internet? I would have figured it was a normal outage but every other computer used...

Also, I can ping the other computer in my house but nothing outside of it.

I'll keep it short. Comcast broadband cable linksys 52g wireless router I sadly was downloading copyrighted material Sunday night. I decided to leave the download going over night and figured I would stop it Monday. Monday morning I noticed the internet went out some time during the...

Just ordered a WD2500KS from ZZF. Thanks for the help guys.

Almost forgot... What are your opinions on hard drive performance while streaming videos from a file server?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not much of a gamer but I thought I might pick it up a bit. It's hard to resist when you have a nice HD lcd that works well for a monitor. So it looks like I might jump on one of the SATA deals this week. NCQ seems necessary but what about cache size. I'm...

Hey guys, I'm just finishing uo a htpc build and am tyring to decide on the harddrive. I know performance isn't a huge issue with a build like this but I was wondering how much of an increase RAID 0 would provide. Redundancy is not an issue what so ever. I figure I could get two solid 120gb...

Thanks for the replies. I was already leaning towards the x1600 due to the hardware acceleration but I just read that ATI is coming out with some sort of new driver package which is supposed to blow purevideo out of the water. Am I making this up???

Oh yeah, I'm running everything to an Olevia 26hvx. 1366x768

Of course we all know htpc's don't require top of the line cards especially if you're a non gamer. Well I'm building a new system (opteron 146, epox 9npa+ultra, 2x512 corsair xms so far) and can not decide on a card. I use ffdshow which is very cpu intensive but also produces flawless video...

My 146 from onsale is going to get here tomorrow. I'll post the stepping after work if anyone is interested.

They picked up???

They were shady. I ordered the 27th when it said in stock. Checked back a few days later and my order was backordered... weird... and contact had been made by them. I called to cancel and no one picked up. Wrote 2 emails (second of which was nasty) to cancel my order. Finally I was...
