    had a bit of scare

    I bid on a G4 ibook for more than I wanted to, but I really like my buddy's ibook so I figured what the hell. I was outbid at the last second, but for future reference, if I had won a G4 ibook 1ghz with 385mb ram 30gig hd for $710shipped would that have been a good deal?

    Mac vs. PC benchmarking

    I was wondering if there were any benchmarks of the two based on dollar value? I'm not trying to start an argument, but my friend is convinced that a 800mhz G3 with 512mb of ram is supposed to compete with my old Sony 2.8ghz P4 with 512mb of ram. My Sony was purchased for $800, and I think I'm...

    Looking for a longer-lasting battery

    I just picked up a used Vaio PCG-FRV26 laptop for a nice deal, but the only thing that sucks is the battery life appears to be not much over an hour from a full charge. I did a little snooping around and it looks like if I just bought a new battery that it would only give me around 2 hours. Is...

    I've got a geforce2 with a fan that's driving me nuts. Can I unplug the fan, or is that going to overheat it? I'm using it for a linux web server machine that sits idle for the most time. Or should I stop being lazy and just swap out the vid card?

    I have a Geforce2 AGP 64mb card that came with this Vaio PCV-RX670 and I wanted to run a dual monitor setup, so I popped in my old Creative Labs TNT and when I booted up the computer, neither of the cards would work, but it sounds like it's booting like normal with no error beers. So I tried a...

But when I try to boot the OS off the drive, the BIOS isn't recognizing it...

    AMD 64 2800 w/ 1G ram or AMD 64 3200 w/ 512mb of ram?

I'm upgrading from a Athlon 1ghz with 1 gig of PC133 ram so anything is going to seem like a screamer, but I'm just trying to find the best bang for the buck. The ram I'm getting in the new setup is gonna...
