    My first AMD system, please give it a look over.

    Okay, after 15 years of Intel systems I'm moving to AMD. I can't fight it anymore, the A64s are too fast, Prescott is too hot. I have decided to go with a socket 754 system for a few reasons: 1. My main application is video editing and pure clockspeed rules for my preferred application...

    Firefox question

    I've been using Firefox and really like a lot of the features not available in IE. One behavior in IE that I do like is the following: When you select a root bookmark and it expands to the branches, any other bookmarks that were previously expanded automatically close to the root. Firefox...

    Is it possible to run both SATA and IDE drives in the same system?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm not familiar with how this works and am going to be upgrading to a 925X motherboard. Do you have to use one controller or the other, or can you use both?

    The end of Farscape

    I've been a fan of Farscape from the beginning and was sad to see it cancelled. I think it was the best sci-fi to ever hit TV, right behind Babylon 5. I guess I was more partial to it since it was the only sci-fi show my wife has ever been able to get into. The series finale "Peace Keeper...

    Do the i925 boards Anand recently tested have AGP slots?

    I'm confused. Reading the specs of the boards tested lists only PCI-E 16 slots, no AGP slots. Yet under the testing section it shows the boards being tested with an AGP graphics card. ?

    What is your LCD display size and the font scaling percentage you use?

    Hi everyone. I'm researching buying a LCD for my desktop and am trying to decide on the size and resolution. For my laptop the screen size is 14.1, native resolution is 1400x1050. That's 125dpi. I have my font scaling set to 125% which is actually 125dpi. That is also the default setting...

    Mouse drift - why?

    I have a Logitech MX700 mouse that even though it is not moved the cursor will begin to drift up the monitor. I thought this might be a dirty mouse pad problem so I went out and purchased a new "optical ready" mouse pad. It drifts less but still drifts at times. The batteries are fully...

    Any good software for the LG 4015 phone?

    I've been looking for software to upload contacts into my LG 4015 phone. I found something from Futuredial but it only works with Outlook and I'd really like to just use an Excel spreadsheet. Anybody have any experience with this?

    How to remove a Win2000 install gone bad

    I'm helping a friend with a Win2000 computer problem. Here's the short version. Win2000 wouldn't boot. Repair wouldn't work, wouldn't go into safe mode either. Upon looking at the C directory I noticed that the "WinNT" folder was gone. I found out this was the work of a virus. I loaded...

    Does "My Documents" have to be on the boot partition?

    I'd like to create two partitions on my primary drive so that I can have the operating system and all installed programs on the C: partition, but all of my data file, i.e. My Documents on the D: partition. My reason for this is so that I can keep the C: partition well-organized and fast. I'm...
