    YAEbayT

    I'm in a somewhat odd situation with an item I got off Ebay and was wondering what advice you guys might have. I bought a guitar a few weeks ago and the seller shipped it the day after memorial day. Because I still have not gotten it, I asked him what's up and it turns out that he mailed the...

    I can't remember any lyrics or anything. All I know is this little riff I made with TabIt. The song is (or was) pretty popular though, I think. Many thanks.

    YAGT: How do I forget about her?

    I've been good friends with a girl I know here at school for a long time and I honestly think I've fallen in love with her. The problem is that I know for a fact that a relationship between the two of us would never work out. To try and explain this, let me describe her. She is a piano...

    Help: mp3 player decision

    After long amounts of research, I think I've narrowed down my ideal mp3 player to one of these two. Either the Creative Zen Micro Photo 8gb, or the Zen Sleek (non-photo) 20gb. I really feel equally divided between the two. On the one hand there's the color screen with the ability to view...

    Q: Expected Behavior?

    Is it normal for this card to beep and audibly increase fan speed during heavy gaming sessions? Is the beep a sign that it's overheating or is that expected?

    Q: Should I switch my x850xt to a 7800gt?

    It would probably cost me about $50-100 to do so. I'm thinking I could grab the newer card that performs better and then hold on to that for a while since it will retain its value much better than the x850. What do you guys think?

    Windows Media Player just isn't cutting it for me anymore. I'd like something that can put files in various folders and keep all the media tags updated. What do you guys use or what suggestions do you have?

    I killed my cell phone

    yeah, so I was a moron and washed my cell phone while it was on. Lo and behold it doesnt work know. First off, is there any way it might work in the future? Assuming it doesnt, when I get a new phone, do I only have to replace the SIM card with my old one? Is there anything else I have to...

    WTF is going on?

    I've been having some trouble with memory on my mobo lately. Mainly, if I run it at stock speeds programs crash. So I restart the computer to make yet another BIOS adjustment, hit the delete key, and the only thing that shows up is a black screen with a grayish block in the lower 20%...

    Issues with teh PC

    I need a little help guys. Pretty much anytime I start to use my comp, it starts crashing with brief views of BSODs. Whenever Windows restarts and I send in the error report, Microsoft is convinced its a problem with a driver. I've tried reinstalling everything and nothing helped, I even...

    Do I have bad stick of RAM?

    Alright, I'm gonna relate my experience in an ATOT'ish style (without cliffs ;) ) Yesterday I put the standard Venice, DFI Ultra D, OCZ VX, etc... build together and booting up. I ran Memtest at first overnight on my two sticks and when I got up there were a bunch of errors. Today, I said...

    Internet Issues

    Lately, my internet connection has been acting odd. Whenever I enter a website domain, the browser loads the first few objects on the page, but then gets stuck, even though it says it's still loading the page. I've had this connection for about 2 months but it only started doing this in the...

    cheap keyboard

    Can anyone recommend a cheap keyboard that will perform reasonably well for gaming? And when I say perform well, I mean I can hold down 4-5 keys at once, and it doesn't require too much pressure to activate a key. PS2 only, standard design. Anything else is fair game. I'm looking to...

    If you could redesign the PC

    what would you do differently? Or to be more general, what changes would you make to current PC architecture for whatever reasons? I don't really have any ideas of my own, I just want to hear what you highly technical people would think about it.

    Memory speed or quantity?

    I'm currently running an Nforce 3 MB that only has 3 DIMMs and 2 of them are occupied with a stick of 256mb Kingston ValueRAM. I just recently got a hold of a 512 stick of the same type. Thing is though, I can only run all three at the 166 divider (pc2700) with 2T, while I was running the...

    So I'm gonna be putting my computer for college together this fall and I'm too impatient to wait, so I'm asking now. What options will I have in 2-3 months? So far, I'm thinking of: Ati x800 something. This will probably be cheapest, but won't have stuff like SM3 NV6800. has those...

    internet priority

    Just a thought; can I put programs into a lower internet priority level? IOW, if I'm using a download manager, can I specify it to only use the leftover bandwidth from the other programs, sort of like spare CPU cycles? Or does bandwidth not work this way?

    Happy Endings?

    I was considering taking this to P&N but decided to stay here. So anyway, I was watching Shark Tale with my family and it struck me how completely unrealistic the ending was. For those of you who didn't catch it, there were 3 basic storylines. First, there's Will Smith as a butt-ugly fish...

    modding an x800...

    For my next build, I pretty sure I'm gonna go with some version of the x800. My options are the xl, the xt (goes for around $400 on ebay), or the pro. I have heard that it's possible to mod the pro version to the xt. My question is, what does this involve, and what sort of performance gain...
