    Vista Won't Boot Without Disk in Drive?

    I am having the exact same issue. I believe the solution (which I am going to try tonight) is to unplug the IDE drives and run Vista's boot repair from the installation CD. The Vista setup will install the boot loader to your IDE drive's MBR even when you choose the SATA drive, so if you remove...

    HOT: Avoid Verizon Early Cancelation Fee, get out your contract free

    So if my contract ends May 2006, does this mean I can cancel my existing Verizon wireless account in 2 months and immediately re-sign up with Verizon to get a nicer phone earlier?

    If you have an LCD monitor and Windows XP, remember to use ClearType...

    It depends though, it only improves things on some lcd's, not all. In fact, most new LCD's don't need ClearType and using it actually makes readability worse. DVI is the best solution ;)

    Socket370 Motherboard w/1.3processor $5AR

    IMHO this might not be such a good deal unless you already have a PCI video card. I don't see an AGP slot on the picture of the board nor do I see "integrated video" in the specs. PCI vid cards are kind of expensive (supply & demand) so if you don't already have a PCI card you'd probably be more...

    *Dead* Dell LCD's up to 25% off through SB division...expires 9/24 @11pm CT

    I bought the 1901FP and got it last week. I really loved it but personally, the ghosting is just a little bit too much for me. When I play CS I can notice people trailing a little bit when they run in front of me. Also, when I move my view around, everything blurs a bit (more so than other...

    DEAD: Dell SB Flat Panels: 1800FP $372, 1901FP $457 + more

    Got my 1901FP today, Dell did a good job getting it out really fast, since I ordered only 2 days ago. I tested out Die Another Day DVD real quick and I can notice some ghosting but it's definitely acceptable to me. I'm really going to enjoy the monitor, hope everyone else is getting theirs quick...

    Ok, first off, all interested please read my long post in this thread: previous whistler thread And I am not trying to flame, jokersmoker has brought us many great deals, but i am simply sharing my knowledge of the general topic of radar detectors and how well they work. And as far as I know...

    whistler radar detector 24.99

    Yes i can relate to that, but that's precisely the issue.. you don't need a detector for the daily commute, because then there are many other ppl on the road and you're not going to get a ticket for going the same speed as everyone else unless you decide drive like an asshole. As for knowing...

    whistler radar detector 24.99

    I understand your point, but that long post of mine in this thread was aimed at telling people that buying a $25 detector is simply wasting $25, police speed monitoring technologies have advanced greatly and at this point, a $25 detector will pretty much never save you even one ticket, because...

    whistler radar detector 24.99

    Even if these things are legal in your state, the cop will usually be in a pissy mood if he sees your car fitted with detectors/jammers ;) As for stealth installs: InvisiMirror - For $400 these people fuse a V1 into the rearview mirror, as awesome as a V1 stealth install can get IMO.. They seem...

    Sapphire Radeon 9500 128mb "L" Shaped Memory $138 shipped!!!

    anybody know what happened to wizzard's site? also, yes, i agree that most moddable (L-shaped) cards sold at this point are probably returns from failed attempts (artifacts), so i wouldn't waste the restocking fee..
