All, Thank you for looking at my problem. Your advice is appreciated. My Northbridge Chipset fan has gone out. This is the second in 3 years time. It is for an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe montherboard. (Illustration: http://usa.asus.com/100/images/products/375/375_l.jpg ) Can I get away...

Does anyone know about this? I sincerely would appreicate any information! :(

As a side note--- MaximumPC magazine and tested performance standard (bottome of the line) USB cable vs Gold Plated USB2.0 cable and their results found that the high dollar gold plated cables were BARELY faster and NOT WORTH THE MONEY. Bottom line: Buy the cheapest USB cable that you can...

I, on occasion, have to install and network systems for a major fortune 500 company. This includes printers. You will find, sometimes, the USB cable included, but don't count on it, most of the time. Printer manufacturers are skimping on components to save a buck or two. (more like $9 to...

Is there a difference between these two offerings, other than one is OEM and the other is Retail? I'm looking for performance issues and one is listed as ESATA (the retail drive) and the other is listed as SATA (OEM model) *****LINKS***** Raptor (retail drive)...

Hey all, Thanks for taking a "gander" at my questions and merry christmas to you! I'm needing some hard drive questions resolved and maybe you can help! I'm going to be buying a Nforce4 SLI board in the very forseeable future. Furthermore, I'm looking to buy the fastest single (non...

Actually, I work for UPS and, based on what I was told, management and drivers had the possibility of getting on the streets to deliver packages today. (Saturday) It was still being resolved by upper management(region level). Drivers were going to be making double and possibly tripple time...

I must admit I've been lurking, like many others, and never posting, simply because we do not have a nforce4 motherboard yet. That will soon change, after Christmas. I have but two questions. Can anyone recommend a low CL, 1GB DIMM that a user used (and is STABLE) on their Asus...

That price is indeed rediculous. What probably has happened is that someone has neglected updating the price of that item. It happens on a lot of websites, including Newegg, every now and then. For that price, you could almost get a gig of generic PC2700 or PC3200 RAM.
