    Power problem?

    I've been having problems with my system for the last couple of days now. I don't have a spare pc that I can try swapping parts with to narrow down the cause. The system has been running w 0 probs for over 3 years. For the most part once it's on it's been running w no problems and the problem...

    Wha happened to Turion X2?

    I saw HP/Compaq offering it as an option shortly after it was announced and now it's gone. Also, Gateway hasn't put out any new AMD based laptops in months. Their retail notebooks are almost all Intel now. Is there some sort of major availability issue? Gateway marketing should be shot for...

    VOIP Security?

    I'm thinking about switching to VOIP with Vonage. I've started to do some basic research, but I started thinking about my calls being transmitted over the internet.
