    Connecting Multiple PCs to Game Server

    So I thought it would be a good idea to play Wolfenstein Enemy Territory with my bother. Both of us are on the same LAN (in the same house). However, when we both try to connect to the same server, we get error messages...servers timing out, etc. We both have different "player numbers" but my...

    $30000 for a new car - What's good!

    VW GTI, GLI, Passat. But I'm biased. Perhaps an EOS if you want a convertible. Edit...should have paid attention to the OP. He made his choice already and i responded in his other thread *smack head*

    Potential job "situation" that I'm in

    I applied for a recruiter job once....Didn't get it because they were afraid I couldn't say no to someone....Of course....had they offered me the job, i was going to tell them no. But anyway... From what I understood, they would charge company say $40/hr to have you work for them. Out of...

    Error Loading Operating System

    I'm trying to install WinXP after I replaced my motherboard and after it copies the files over (if it gets that far) I get the error message: "Error loading operating system." I've tried different WinXP CDs and different CD-ROM drives...with the same result. Sometimes when it tries to copy...

    Hrm...the setups would work....except now I just realized I would need a new power supply since these motherboards are 24 pin and my psu only has a 20pin connector. Ugh!

    Configure My Next PC

    Thanks a lot yh125td. I like that AMD setup. If my memory serves me correct, Operton cpu's are server grade right? I looked at the: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 2.0GHz Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3800BVBOX - Retail and the difference between that and the Operton 165 dual core was...

    Configure My Next PC

    Thanks AVP, I should hav cleared that up. I'm basically looking to build a quick replacement computer since my motherboard in this setup just died. I state what i've got for a video card because I noticed that a lot of motherboards don't have AGP on them as much anymore. That and I'm totally...

    Best free verizon cell phone ????

    I just ordered a LG VX8300 to replace my broken phone. I'm doing it before my upgrade time and its only costing me $40. Although my friend who upgraded ontime said he got that model for free. http://www.mobiledia.com/phones/lg/vx8300.html

    Perhaps the MOBO died?

    It all began when I thought that my wireless keyboard/mouse combination was acting up. I was sitting there at the computer surfing the internet, minding my own business, and all of a sudden I get that "Deviced Disconnected" sound and the little pop-up dialog box in the corner, followed by my...

    Is my new CPU OK?

    Is it the metal bar that goes through the heatsink? They are usually bent to a point to provide tension and push the heatsink onto the CPU. Are you asking if its bent more than normal? Is the box damaged? If the box is damaged then I would be worried. Otherwise I don't think that it would...

    A computer inside of a refrigerator?

    Sure, why not? Anything can be done. The reason its not is most likely due to size and cost. Look at one of those mini-fridges used in college dorms. Those are about $100, heavy, and bulky. Plus how practical is it to keep opening a door to turn it on or put in a CD? Then what about all the...

    Light & 'Portable' Mid Towers?

    I'm looking for a nice, light case, that cools well. I do my fair share of OCing as well as moving around enough that I don't want to deal with a big heavy case. Basically anything in the midtower size range is good. Large enough to handle 2 optical drives, 2 hard drives, and a floppy drive...

    Laptop Case Mods

    I like the light up keyboard idea. i've done it before on a regular pc keyboard with electroluminasent wire. Came out pretty cool. The only problem was that the power inverter wasn't very good. The first one literally caught fire on me. I'm glad i was there...because i leave my computer on...

    Laptop Case Mods

    I don't seem to find much when it comes to looking for laptop mods. I'm in the process removing the Dell logo and replacing it with either my own or a VW logo (for my love of VWs). The logo will then light up aftewards (similar to apple laptops) I also might smooth it in as well. Is there...

    Streaming Audio Recording Software

    I'm looking for an app that run similarly to the small Mac app "WireTap." This little app basically has a record, stop, and play button on it and will record any sounds the computer is generating or are streaming. WireTap Freeware is best. Thank you.

    dfi vs asus

    I've had both Asus and DFI. Not those exact boards, but I've had good luck from both of them. Chances are that Asus will have your basic overclocking features as well. With that said, I agree with Computer MAn. Look for the one that has the features that you will actually use and care about...

    im having 2end thoghts on my new comp

    If video editing is your main focus, then I recommend using a pentium with hyperthreading. A lot of benchmarks have shown higher results with pentiums than amd's in that field. If it's just a side hobby, then don't worry about it.

    Memory Speed question

    RAM generally runs at the speed of the slowest stick. so you wo uld have 768mb of PC2100. Depending on whether or not your overclock, it may cause issues or generate memory errors. Its unlikely, but possible.
