    I am working for a company that wants to buy a copy of Office Project, which costs $500 new in box, but costs $290 as an OEM. However the office manager is telling me that OEM's are for distribution with new PC's only, and are illegal for us to buy. So what's the story? is everything I...

    New Laptop for College - Help Please!

    Give me a break, you don't need a geforce 6800 for graphic arts. and if your spending more time gaming by yourself in your dormroom instead of hanging out with friends and playing console games/ consuming heinous amounts of alcohol, you should really look into getting out more. If I were you...

    Is it possible for Intel to buy AMD?

    I'm not quite sure if uncle sam would lay the smack down on any big company these days. For all their talk about being "pro" free markets, the republicans seem awfully keen to let corporations merge to a highly unethical level where competition comes from fewer and fewer companies. Besides...

    I use logitech lx500 and it works fine. I'm on my first set of batteries (1 1/2 months now) and there hasn't been a problem yet. There is also a "battery monitor" tool that tells you when juice is running low.

    prog to test my memory?

    make sure you download an ISO image of it and burn it onto a cd. Boot from the cd and viola! you find out if your memory is shitty. Chances are that it's not though.

    LCD decision

    But what's the response time on that monitor?? Doesn't look like it would do to well with games if it is 20ms+
  23. S

    LCD decision

    I got a BenQ FP931 which is around $350, 19inches, 16ms. and It works well with HL2, and other games. My only gripe is that I wish it was a little bit brighter. But at that price point with DVI, I can't really complain too much. Overall it is a great monitor for me.

    Another Assembly Question (front mic and sound)

    Yeah, man, Speaking from experience (as JBDan knows) it is a bit of a pain in the arse. But, if you stare at the MOBO manual and case manuals for long enough, something, anything, will eventually click and you'll figure it out. God Speed you on your quest~!
