    Free MP3 from Geico....

    Awesome! Thanks for the posting. As it happens, I have Gieco (and yes I saved a bunch of money and they are extremely helpful) and I was wondering what song that was. I did find the song that is for the commerical with the caveman on the airport with the song that goes "...there's always...

    Do you have a legal version of Windows XP?

    A better OS eh? Then why do you have a PC with Windows XP. In my opinion, you should only need one OS, unless of course you are running a server, then you would want to get an OS more suited for that. But for your regular use, if you have to use linux and windows, then linux is not a better...

    Do you have a legal version of Windows XP?

    I suppose I should have also put in an acadmic copy. I know some people use an acadmic copy (not limited to Windows) of software even though they aren't a student. However, I am, so I'm in the clear :D

    Ha, no one voted for the Wizards. O well, I would have thought the Bulls would win, even without Curry

    Do you have a legal version of Windows XP?

    I thought up this poll after a recent article in Anandtech. Just how many people use illegal copies. I'm not asking for replys, just answer the poll. I don't think there is anyway to track you down so you should be safe.... if you use an illegal copy that is

    LOL2X!!! apple sued by Tiger Direct

    and Windows? Is anything really computer named related? If things were, we'd have everything called Microsoft O/S 5.111 (cause XP has nothing to do with technology either)

    Dual-Core procs

    I think the ugly truth that could exist is that two cores will not be as good as made out to be. I have no problem running multiple programs at one time on my Athlon64. The only thing that hinders it is how much RAM i have.

    NBA Championship

    Minnesota has a decent chance, especially how they have been playing as of late. I think the big factor now is injuries. No Duncan, no Spurs. And while I think the Suns fast break play can be figured out, especially when you are playing 3-5 games against them, they have so many offensive...

    Dual-Core procs

    I guess I misread some things. Special thanks to dguy6789 for the clear up. What I thought was that while Windows XP does support multiple cpu's, it won't use them to their fullest extent. Like it doesn't shift the load from one processor to the other. On another note, how much is dual-cores...

    NBA Championship

    I think they can and mainly for one reason. The Pacers have great 3 point shooting. Shaq can't do much when people are draining 3 pointers. And while Wade is doing great as well on offense, I think defense is one area the Heat are lacking for most of their players. Even jump shooting from...

    NBA Championship

    I thought it was pretty sure that Duncan would be back by then. If he isn't, then I'm saying Suns vs Pacers.

    NBA Championship

    Kobe ruined the Lakers. While the Lakers have been known to be a great winning team, and the team you'd love to hate, I feel like Kobe has brought so much disgrace to the team. Seriously, the fact they would fire head coach because Kobe doesn't like him? And why in the world did they think it...

    NBA Championship

    Well, right now Memphis is in 8th for the West. But I suspect Minnesota could take it. So it was hard to say which to put up there. Either way, do you think either team has a chance?

    NBA Championship

    Howdy all, I'll start off with the East coast. It may surprise many of you, but I think the Indiana Pacers have a serious chance at winning. The other teams I think will cause trouble for them is the Heat and Pistons. They've beaten Mimi Heat the last 12 times they've played them, and the...

    Dual-Core procs

    Howdy all, I've been looking at articles related to the Pentium Dual-core processors. As I'm sure everyone is aware by now, it seems that it is basically two processors glued together, while the Extreme Edition has Hyper-Threading on it. Now, I think dual procs are a great way to go, and...

    Anand and the others' rigs.

    Well, not saying it's the case, but sometimes you are simply happy with the rig you have because it does everything you want well. At one point I always wanted the best rig possible. As long as it does what you want it to do anyway... Hence why I have an Athlon 64. And anywho, I would hope...

    Intel vs Amd Dual core

    I think dual-core is not really needed at the moment. If anything, a dual core GPU seems better fitted since most non-business people that need that kind of power are gamers. You can just look a dual processors and a game that supports it like Quake III. Not worth the price.

    is my linksys router broken?

    Is this wireless? Anywho, make sure the router's IP addresses aren't the same. Like they are all trying to take 192.168.0.1 or whatever. Also, I'd suggest replacing those extra routers with a switch. But that may be more of the easy fix. And then on a side note, Linksys routers just seem to...

    WindowsXP 64-bit RTM

    I have an Athlon 64 but i'll prolly wait until summer time to reformat and install the new Win64. I said it before but It's worth saying again. Windows 64-bit edition is the first operating system that a large number of people are wanting to install that actually hurt system performance. I...

    Semperon Processors

    I thought about the PSU, but like Duvie said, it doesn't keep restarting. Usually does it about once a day. From what it sounds, it restarts when they are doing something. But not program specific. PSU is a standard one that comes with a cheap case, although I know the wattage should be...

    Semperon Processors

    Well, I built my first computer for a client a couple months ago. Everything went smoothly until about 2 weeks ago. The computer would restart for what seems like no reason. As if someone were to hit the power button. There isn't really anything on the computer, besides Office and AOL. So...

    Windows 98 Networking issues

    Just an update, it was an issue with the lease. It had a one week lease. I'm not sure why, but I guess the Windows 98 machines are too stupid or something to get a new IP. I would think the router would send them a new one, or the PC would just request a new one. Any ideas on why this is?

    Windows 98 Networking issues

    Howdy all, Let me lay down a little background first. I've built networks before and am even on my way to getting a CCNA cert. There are weird issues with a network I built for a non-forprofit ministry. All their computers use Windows 98. I set up a Samsung Laser printer and have that...

    Help for a notebook noob

    I wasn't aware you could buy a decent notebook under $1,000. Something to keep in mind on the prices is that you will still have to pay tax on it, and there could be shipping charges. You can trim off some cash by getting the cheapest hard drive that'll come with your laptop and then buy a new...

    Backing up data

    I found a pretty nice program at http://www.orionsoftlab.com/ This seems to work nicely and I think it'll be what I will use. Plus it's cheap. Thanks all for your help and taking the time to respond.

    Backing up data

    I thought about that, and that would work just dandy for me. But in providing this to other people in the building.... I would have to take them to a boot camp for computers. Is there a way to say, select a couple folders, and the data would be backed up in real time? I was reading that...

    Backing up data

    Howdy all, How would you backup data to an online server? To better explain my question, here's the situation. I have a work computer that is, at my place of business. It's a non-forprofit organization so we do not have any type of tape backup server or anything like that. The computer...

    Hosting multiple web servers on physical server

    Awesome thanks JackMDS. Well, I'll look into all 3, IIS, apache, and Abyss2. Right now the most important factor is easier to use. And thanks for the links vi_edit and skyking.

    Multiple web servers on one server

    The down side to open source is that I simply have not dealt with Apache yet. Where as at school we have messed with IIS already. But isn't IIS free anyway?

    Multiple web servers on one server

    Ah thanks. Although I was trying to stay away from open-source, but the only other option I know of is IIS and seems there is a good deal of security issues with that. I think server 2k3 is what i'll go with, especially since I might be running other services that involve using a database and...

    Hosting multiple web servers on physical server

    Howdy all, I would like to host 3 web sites on one server, with one IP. I've read sites that say you can do this by using some sort of virtual server or some sort like that, but I havn't actually found what O/S or software will do that? The run down, I'm looking for something that isn't...

    Question on burning a Windows 98 CD

    But why run Win98? A computer that runs that should be able to handle Win2k just fine and at least then you don't need a floppy drive.
