    Windows Serious Error

    Just recently I was able to install both Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia. They had both been having problems with IntsallShield but somehow magically one time they just decided to install. Anyway. I go through Splinter Cell first, play it for a little bit and then I quit. Instead of...

    Speed half of what it should be?

    I have everything set up fine now (except I still don't have WEP enabled because the wireless card still doesn't like it), except for one thing. On the wireless PC, I went to dslreports and did the speed test like I always do. It came out a little on the low end, so I went to speedguide to...

    Little wireless help please

    This is the first time I have ever even attempted to set up a network of any kind. I have it to the point where the pc with the wireless card says it is connected to the router I have (both Netgear), but it the wireless pc can't see my wired computer nor can it access the internet. Also, in...

    Xtreme Gear

    A few things worthy of noting. Although on their front page they have it listed at $208, when you click on the link for it the Leadtek 6600GT AGP is $199 with free shipping. Kingston PC3200 512MB 400MHz is $60 ($5.75 shipping). The bad thing about this one is that it's only one per...

    Which computer to put wireless on?

    Okay, I've been building my own custom PC for a while here, and it's almost complete. I have RoadRunner as my cable service (Bright House Networks), and I just did a speed test and while I wasn't quite up to 5 Mbps down (It was more like 4.3 or so), it was still a hell of a lot faster than it...

    Netgear compatability?

    I believe I read somewhere that these two products (The 108 Mbps router and the 54 Mbps wireless card) were not compatable with each other a few days ago, well after I bought both of them (on Black Friday). I figured it must have just been his system or something, but then I see that while the...

    Pull the trigger?

    I see that Newegg has this card for basically $220 shipped. Is it going to get much lower than this anytime soon? I just got $200 for Christmas basically going toward my computer, and so if it'll be a few months below it dips below $200 or whatever then I'd probably just go ahead and get this...

    A little help please

    Okay, without really realizing what I was doing I went ahead and got the Soltek SL-K8AV2-RL. Since this is my first time building my own computer, I looked at the specs and looked at some user reviews and it seemed fine to me, but I was wondering if perhaps I made a mistake. Because I now I...

    Best card for around $200

    I'm building my own PC and was looking for the best gaming card I could get for around $200. I'll be using AGP. I wanted to get the MSI 9800 Pro, but it's been out of stock for a while at Newegg. A couple of days ago it was back in stock for a few hours but I didn't have the money to get it...
