    Any DL DVD media for Lightscribe??

    I asked this question to Verbatim, Imation and Memorex. Verbatim never replied, Memorex replied and said they have no such plans. And here's Imation reply: "We expect Imation DVD-R Lightscribe? Discs to be available sometime during the third quarter of 2005. Thank you for your interest in...

    Same thing here: Monarch shipped it with Fedex 2 day although I paid for ground. They made up the three day delay by this.

    Sempron 3100 (754) 90nm in stock?

    I meant resseller rating (=rr) of the retailer is high, not the CPU.

    Sempron 3100 (754) 90nm in stock?

    Has anyone tried Sempron 3100 90nm? It looks like it is in stock here: http://www.techonweb.com/produ...tdetail.aspx?id=B51265 Link They have a high rr rating. However, I don't think many motherboards will work with this CPU before a bios upgrade.

    AMD64 2800 w/1MB Cache (DTR) $100 Shipped, AMD64 3000 $108 Shipped (excaliberpc)

    These are DTR (desktop replacement or mobile) chips, that's why the ratings are different. See here for a good discussion: DTR Discussion

    Somebody on some forum (Lilgator) has overclocked it to 2.4Ghz, with 300FSB. You'll need a good MB for that.

    Netscape Mail now offering 250 MB storage

    Netscape mail is the best free email, IMO, since it has imap support. imap suppport is only for Netscape browsers though, it does not work with anything else. Since I use Netscape 7.2 as my second browser, no problem for me. I have been using it for a few years.

    Can you get Asus A7N8X Delux (PCB 1.03) with Barton 2500 at 200MHz Bus

    I have A7N8X 1.04 and running Barton 2500+ @ 10.5x200 (3000+ speeds) without problems. The only thing is my Barton is a bit hot but stable.

    Serious heat problem :( Help!

    I have the exact same problem as voss. I was wondering if the diode in Barton is not calibrated. My temps go up to 70C under load, but system is stable (prime95 gives no errors). The socket temperatures are about 55 when diode is 70, isn't this a big difference?

    Crucial Memory? - Never again

    krackato: Good idea. Never thought about it. Yes, I ran it off the SPD. Their first batch of 512MB PC2700's had problems with nforce2 chipsets. I read this from various sources, and a lot of people in amdmb.com and overclockers.com had the exact same problem. Crucial even took it out from the...

    Crucial Memory? - Never again

    I bought two sticks of 512MB PC2700 crucial memory from CnetPC.com recently. And then it did not run at 166FSB on my nforce2 motherboard (many others had the same problem). It runs at 155FSB just fine. And I exchanged emails and then called Crucial customer service. First of all, they never...

    External hard disk never stop spinning?

    Thanks for the valuable information. The easiest solution, as Lord Evermore says, may be turning it off when not using. But I'm using Windows XP's policy editors to backup my important files while shutting down. I'm sure I'll forget to turn it on when shutting down every night. RichieZ: What...

    External hard disk never stop spinning?

    I've just bought an external (buslink 40GB USB2) hard disk for backup purposes. What I noticed is: unlike internal ones which are turned off after a while of inactivity, this external one never stops spinning, even if the PC is powered off! Are all external drives like this? I hate its noise...

    Thanks for the info! Actually I ran Prime95 torture test for about 10 hours and it did not give any errors. That's when CPU temp went up to 51. I may also try 3dmark.

    I have built myself a Athlon 1700+ system in a Sky Hawk jupiter case. I have done the followings to make it silent: - Replaced power supply's first fan with a papst and disabled intake fan. - Replaced TI4200's fan with Zalman ZM-80. - Replaced CPU's heatsink/fan with AX-7 + papst. Both papsts...

    Anyone has Dell 1900FP? Is height adjustable?

    I know that the height of Samsung 191T is adjustable, which seems to be an important feature to me (I don't want to put anything under it to make it higher). Since Dell 1900FP is rebagged Samsung, is its height adjustable as well? Thanks.

    Road Runner high speed

    No problems in Austin, TX. Very fast (2400+ download). After using DSL more than one year, I believe that people choose DSL for three reasons: 1-No cable service. 2-When DSL is cheaper. 3-False advertisements (like from SWbell) which says cable may be slower when shared.

    High pitch sound coming from memory chips

    For those who says it may be monitor or CPU fan: No, it's definitely not. It's not a mechanical sound, and monitor and CPU fan was off when I was working on it. And I have a high quality (enermax) power supply and according to MBM5, the voltages are quite healthy. As Def says, it may be coming...

    High pitch sound coming from memory chips

    Not exactly. Before every move, I powered it off. i.e. Powered off, disconnected hard disk 1, powered on, still the sound. Powered off, disconnected CPU fan, powered on, sound is still there. Finally removed one memory stick, the sound was less, removed both, and the sound just went away!

    High pitch sound coming from memory chips

    Hi, By utilizing the tactics I read from this forum, I now have a very silent PC. (I changed the fan in the Enermax power supply with a papst 12dB, changed CPU heatsink to AX-7 and installed another papst 12dB on it). But now an annoying high-picth sound is coming from the memory chips. The...
