    Since New Reinstall - Main Fan Won't Spin

    Every since I did a new XP reinstall on my ABIT MB , the main aux fan is not working. Both the HEATSINK & CPU fan are working, but the aux fan is not spinning at all which is a problem. When I go into ABIT BIOS it shows the fan actually working, at 1500 RPM, thus no real spinning. Curious if...

    Swap File Term ?

    Hello, I am discussing the topic of swap file operating with my friend, and he used the term pagefile. Realizing that pagefile is the file that windows xp uses when using swap file, I mentioned to him that the real correct term is "SWAP FILE". I have been for many years using the term...

    World of Warcraft - Circuit City $44.99

    Flat panel native resolution and games (1905fp vs 2001fp)

    I have a 1905FP , AND I must admit its the best BLACK levels i've seen on a LCD since a crt. The 800:1 contrast is something really amazing, and I'd much rather have this type of contrat then the bigger 2001fp. The next 2001FP better step it up with higher contrast, because the BLACK LEVELS...

    NEW Dell 1905FP 800:1 contrast LCD

    After a bit more testing, It certainly is clear the contrast is above any LCD I've seen before. Although, I would also like to state (its only fair) that I am finding out that this monitor is giving some signs of eye fatigue. Actually, I'm experiencing a bit of the same eye and tiredness I'd get...

    I'd like to chime in, I just got my 1905FP from the deal a few days ago, although when ordered it was the 1901fp.
