    What's the biggest monitor I can use?

    Thanks for the help, I'm just using the computer for basic things but I just like a nice monitor and I have some spare cash, not meant for retirement, so I thought I'd splurge on this. My posture has been getting horrible because I have to hunch over to see the screen, so I'm hoping that a big...

    What's the biggest monitor I can use?

    Just wanted to double check. I found that the zotac mini itx motherboards have either a mini display port with adapter or a full display port on them. So my puny HD2000 on the i3-2100t could push out the resolution for the 30" Dell IPS monitor. Also, you think they are going to come out with an...

    My Nexus S came in

    I was waiting for the EVO3D but decided to just go with the Nexus S and I don't regret it. Ultimately, I just want easy access to updates and the size was a factor for me. The Evo is a bit big for me cause I keep the phone in my front pocket. The weight of the Nexus is awesome, many Droid users...

    Frys deal: Sempron 2800 vs P4 506+

    Sorry, I hate asking these lame versus questions but the only place I can find is tomshardware and those charts don't seem right. I'm looking for cheap so Fry's has the Sempron 2800+ with ECS board for $70 and the P4 506+ with ECS board for $100. I know the ECS sucks, but besides that which...

    Hi, I setup a wireless network and I'm having problems. Next to the cable modem is the first wireless router (DI524) that services that building. I have another router (DI624) that is hardwired to the first router beaming the signal to a compatible repeater (DWL-G800AP). On the repeater is a...

    DSL reseller DEMANDS home address!

    Hahaha.... my thoughts exactly. Cops get the address from dslexteme and all they find is the mailbox etc store. Store calls to tell you the cops are looking for you. Quick destroy all the kiddie porn on the computer before they come. What if they do a search for you name and find your real...

    Tracking down WiFi Access Points

    NARC... haha.. Anyway, why don't you try this, you can get the network card ID's for the computer's accessing the wireless AP's and then filter them out through the University system. When you get calls complaining that the internet don't work, you know who to go after. Alex

    WEP? Disabled or enabled, what's the difference?

    If someone has problems with WEP and they only care about stopping someone from stealing bandwidth but not the data, can using a MAC filter accomplish the same thing of stopping people from using your connection. Alex

    Sprint Samsung A500 deal ++++++++++++++++ some info for you!

    I believe the current version number is 10015. The reason you need the updates is because when they put up new towers, you need the new software to be able to use them. Alex

    Help, Configuring wireless connection for home and school.

    Hi, My school has a wireless access point and I want to set one up at home too. To set it up at home and make the connection seamless, do I just make the SSID and channel the same as school at home. Also the school doesn't use WEP, so I wouldn't use it on both. To keep the leachers out who...

    Can't flash my 40x lite on to 48x?!? Update, fixed.

    Hi all, I just upgraded the firmware on my Verbatim 40X, which is a lite-on 40x OEM, to 48x. Basically, the difference between the V02, V02, V04, etc.. is the firmware version. The newest one is V06 but the moderator of the cdfreaks.com forum, prefers V02 because he claims that firmware...

    Hot deal: Student loan consolidation

    Basically, What's happening is that if you already have stafford loans and you are in repayment, you can lock in your interest rate. Your loan right now is a variable rate so since the rate is so low you should lock it in. That's what they said last year but the rates fell again. Now this year...

    Best midpriced home subwoofer, JBL PB12 on sale, free shipping.

    Yeah, etronics.com would save you $10 but you might not get the warranty. And chopomatic, you're not thread crapping.. I understand that there's always difference of opinion. But your over $500 suggestion goes over midpriced for me, here's my definition of breakdown. Low end is something under...

    512MB DDR 2100 $99 @ Outpost

    I found that ordering from mushkin is the luck of the draw as to what you get. Let me explain. 3 months ago, I ordered 2 sticks of 512MB DDR basic, I recieved 2 sticks with gold heat spreaders. Labeled as basic but still with the heat spreaders and can do 2-3-3, I have a feeling that they sent...

    1800 MAH NIMH Batteries under 2.50 each

    Even if you have an old charger, I would recommend that you buy a newer charger. The new chargers with the microprocessors and etc., do make a difference. The only concern I would have with an old charger is that you might not get a full charge out of the battteries, defeating the purpose of...

    Sony kv36-fv26 for $1170 @ Sears

    I have the 27inch FS13 and a 36inch FV27, picture quality is the same between the FS and FV, the difference seems to be that the FV has PiP, bigger speakers, with the speakers on the side instead of the bottom. I live in Guam so getting the Sony's at a decent price is near impossible because of...

    Mushkin Basic 512MB DDR ram is $94, free shipping with GOLD heat spreaders.

    Yes I got the basic DDR Ram, not the ECC, I paid $94 each, I'm 100% sure, yeah the picture on their website shows the gold heat spreaders only on the expensive ECC ram but my cheap ones had them too, that's why I think it's a hot deal, because it's the cheapest 512MB with shipping and you get...

    Mushkin Basic 512MB DDR ram is $94, free shipping with GOLD heat spreaders.

    Also note that the bigger the module size such as 256 vs 512, the less likely it will overclock better though, you'd have to compare a 256 to a 256 between mushkin and crucial for it to be fair. If you want a guarenteed at cas 2 then mushkin is better but crucial is cheaper and people have good...

    Mushkin Basic 512MB DDR ram is $94, free shipping with GOLD heat spreaders.

    Yeah, Maybe it's psychological but it just feels slower, maybe norton antivirus 2002 is slower on xp or something, can't complain though, xp is a better OS than 2000 or ME by far. The liittle extra features such as burning cd's by just dragging it to the drive and automatic slide show for all...

    Mushkin Basic 512MB DDR ram is $94, free shipping with GOLD heat spreaders.

    Have you tried Windows XP, I can honestly say even 512MB is not enough, I'm using the final 2600 version on a 1.1 Athlon with 768MB and it feels sluggish compared to ME and 2000, so more ram the better, not that it'll make it a lot faster but XP is more bloat ware to slow things down. Alex

    Mushkin Basic 512MB DDR ram is $94, free shipping with GOLD heat spreaders.

    Hi, I just recieved 2 sticks of 512MB DDR PC2100 and I was shocked to see that they had Gold heat spreaders on just like the picture for their more expensive models, there's no indication on the web site that they give you the nice heat spreaders for the cheap $94 ones. Besides that if you...
