    Weird mobo behavior prior to failure

    The motherboard in my secondary PC died today (config here). Over the past couple of weeks, I've been having some weird things happen with that PC. Most notably, the HD boot order would swap when the PC came out of suspend or hibernation (this happened every few days or so). In other words...

    Good desktop speakers with S/PDIF?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for some quality desktop speakers with digital (S/PDIF) input? One of my PCs has on-board sound, and I'd rather output the sound via digital. Looking for something comparable (or better than) Klipsch ProMedia 2.1. I don't need 5.1. Any thoughts?

    Abit IP35 Pro CPU Speed Incorrect

    Hi all, I just upgraded to an Abit IP35 Pro from an Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus. New build went fine with no problems or driver issues. However, I notice that the default clock speed for my CPU (C2D E6700) is showing as 2720MHz instead of 2667. Likewise, my RAM is showing as DDR2 812. The BIOS...

    My CPU just bit the dust :(

    Today when I was playing Bioshock, my system hard crashed in the middle of the game (fortunately, I had recently saved my game). Subsequent attempts to get my machine back up were unsuccessful. The fans would spin up, but the system wouldn't POST. After swapping out the RAM and the video...

    8800GTX + Hi-perf RAM = Trouble?

    Hi all, I posted this over on NVIDIA's forums, but I thought I'd run it by the users here as well. Like many others, I've had problems with my EVGA 8800GTX. I recently RMA'd my card due to graphical glitches, freezes and BSODs. The new card has been running fine for about a month. Last...

    Multiple DMZ Routers?

    A friend of mine needs to give 2 PCs access to a DMZ on his home network. However, Linksys routers only allow the option of assigning one IP address into the DMZ. What are his options? I believe Linksys had stated that multiple DMZs would be available via firmware at some point, but...

    NEC LCD2470WNX panel type?

    Does anyone happen to know what kind of panel NEC is using for the LCD2470WNX? It looks like it's a nice display, from looking at the specs.

    Recommended SATA controller?

    I'm repurposing an older system (w/ Intel 845 chipset) as an HTPC/media server. Currently, the system only has 160GB, so I'm planning to get a couple of 400GB SATA drives + controller to bump up the storage capacity. I'm looking at the Promise SATA300 TX4 controller, but Promise's website...

    Monitor won't go into power save (suspend) when screen saver is running

    I'm having a somewhat perplexing problem with my son's PC. If a screensaver is running (e.g. the Windows XP default SS), the monitor won't ever go into suspend mode, even though I have it enabled in the power settings. When I change the screensaver to (none), the monitor goes into suspend mode...

    7800GTX Physical Dimensions

    Anyone know how "thick" the 7800GTX is? I replaced the chipset fan on my A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard with a Zalman NB47J. There's about 3-4mm clearance between my 6800GT and the heatsink. I'm thinking about trading up to the 7800GTX (I have an EVGA card and am still in the 90 day window), but...
