    Experience/Recommendations on Printer Servers

    I was wondering whether those network printer server devices work very well. This is for a home printer that isn't used everyday; so, hooking it up to a PC (to act as the printer server) hasn't been very satisfactory. I was thinking that a printer with built-in networking capabilities, such as...

    Sennheiser HD-205 versus HD-212 Pro: Opinions wanted

    I was looking at both of these Sennheiser headphones as affordable but good quality headphones. I'm interested in a closed model, for good sound isolation. Does anyone have any information that would help me differentiate between these two Sennheiser models? They seem to be roughly equal in...

    LG L1920PQ

    I recently picked up an LG 1920PQ from NewEgg. The specifications at first had me thinking that this was going to be some sort of MVA or IPS panel, but now that I've had a chance to use it a bit, I'm almost certain that this is a TN panel LCD. To my eyes, it shows the tell-tale signs of a...

    Earth 2160 Demo

    I know that this game isn't as highly popular as other RTS games, but I think there still is a group of fans devoted to the series. Anyway, I've been checking out a variety of demos, lately, and took a look at this one. My guess is that, if you played one of its predecesors, like Earth 2150...

    Abykus Free Spreadsheet Program

    Abykus was recently pointed out to me, and it looks like it might be a useful, free spreadsheet program. I was wondering if anyone else was already familiar with this program and whether you might have some information, either pro or con, about it. Thanks, Space

    Home-brewed Battlefield 2 Performance Analysis

    I've mentioned the original version of this little write-up previously, when it just took a quick look at BF2 memory usage in the game's demo and I was using 1 GB of memory. I've revisited this with the retail version of the game and with 1.5 GB of memory installed. I also added some...

    Working with BF2 timedemo output (CSV file)

    I was wondering if anyone could provide some advice for me in terms of trying to do some things with the results from a Battlefield 2 timedemo. Using Open Office's Calc, I've been able to do some basic things, like find the average, minimum, and maximum values, but I'm still looking for a way...

    Viewsonic VP191 (8ms Gray-to-Gray) Reviewed

    I've been curious to see how these "overdrive" VA panels would hold up versus TN and IPS panels when it comes to games. In theory, the VA panels should offer the best contrast and 16.7M true colors, but they've always had trouble with response time issues. This "overdrive" circuitry looks like...

    Is all 6800 NU memory the same?

    It seems like this is the more important question than whether the pipelines can be unlocked. Does one brand/model stand out from the others for the overclockability of the memory. Thanks, Space PS: I'm particularly interested in the AGP version at this point.

    MSI K8T Neo FSR

    I'm setting up a system running a socket 754 Athlon 64 3200 on a MSI K8T Neo-FSR motherboard. I enabled Cool'n'Quiet in the BIOS and I have MSI's Core Center installed. I can see in the Core Center's hardware monitor that Cool'n'Quiet is throttling the CPU back, but I thought that it would...

    Sonata Case and Large Heatsinks: What's Worked (or Not)?

    I was interested in using a Sonata case and an oversized heatsink, such as the Zalman 7000 or the Thermalright SLK 947U. I'm interested in information about both Athlon and Pentium 4 setups, so please let me know what motherboard you're using. Basically, I'm trying to get a better idea of how...

    How do PIII and Athlon Temps Typically Compare?

    I was wondering if I could check out what experiences others have had looking at the temperatures of their Athlons and PIIIs. I've been running a PIII for quite a while and recently put together an Athlon system. The Athlon is an OEM 1ghz (266bus, default voltage) on a MSI K7T turbo board with...

    CUSL2 Memory Issues & MemTest 86

    I thought I would share my experience with MemTest 86 memory test and how my CUSL2 board performed. The MemTest 86 is downloadable from MemTest 86. I was running these tests on the CUSL2, updated to the 1003 BIOS. The processor is a PIII700 running at 933 (1.65v). I was using MemoryMan Mosel...

    Who is T&T (makes FK320's 92mm fan)?

    I was curious about seeing a spec sheet on the rear fan that comes with the FK320 case. Mine is marked T&T MW-925H12B .32amps. I've decided to go ahead and replace this fan with something quieter, but I was wanting to see how much airflow I would be giving up in the process. This fan...

    CUSL2 and Mushkin HP Rev2 Strangeness

    I was wondering if anyone else was having any trouble getting the Mushkin HP PC133 Rev2 memory to run at the 133mhz with the timing settings at 22257. I can only complete the boot at this bus speed if I turn back the SDRAM cycle time to 7, 9. I have now tried two sticks of this Mushkin memory...
