    Building a seperate system as file server

    Hardware or software problem?

    Last week I switched processors from a X2 4400+ to an Opteron 170, hoping for a better overclock. I also switched heatsinks. I've noticed a few weird quirks with my computer in the last week, and I'm wondering what could be the cause. When playing Halo, the game isn't smooth like it used to...

    Recommend a good KVM

    I need a KVM to connect my 2 PCs, and possibly a Mac Mini in the future. Here are some things I'm looking for: 1) Video not important since my monitors have multiple inputs. 2) None of that HotKey bullshit, I want a manual hardwired selector. 3) No slowdown or lag when gaming. 4)...

    Anyone Gone From a P4 to a A64?

    If so, did you notice a difference in multitasking ability due to the lack of hyperthreading? I'm thinking of upgrading my 2.8C to a 3200+, but the not having hyperthreading makes me second guess it. And this article seems to support this somewhat, as it shows the P4 winning in most of the...
