    YACT: Jetta - What is it? Chick car?

    I test drove a Jetta yesterday and it seems pretty nice. It's got all the options and everything. It seems to be a good deal. It's a 2003 GLS 2.0 for about 16k. The real question is.... Should I get it? Is it a "chick car" or is it a good car? What are your thoughts on it?

    Problem with Cursor on Dell Inspiron 600m

    I just got this computer and for some reason, the cursor has a pixel about a centimeter away from the tip of the pointer that flashes different colors for some reason. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could get rid of this. Also, when my cursor looks like an "I" over text, it has lines...

    Does this link work for you?

    I just got a Dell catalog and on the cover it has a Dell Inspiron 8100 w/ the new 64mb Mobility Radeon 7500. I wanted to check out the specs on the computer and it gives an e-value code under the price for this computer (1779). I was just wondering if this e-value code works for anyone else...

    Soyo K7V Dragon Plus - No Video @ Bootup

    I'm helping a friend build his computer. We were having trouble installing Windows 2000 due to an "acpi.sys" error. I decided that we should take out some memory (he had 2*256MB RAM modules in at the time). He only had one 256MB RAM module in and the win2k installation had the same error...

    EPoX 8k7a VS Gigabyte 7dxr

    I am trying to decide between these two motherboards. I was going to wait for the KG7-raid, but it is taking too long to come out and it will take another month or two to have all the correct BIOS fixes to get it working correctly. What I want to know is if you own either of these boards, what...
