    KVM Switch for Logitech MX Duo

    I've been looking for one as well and I just saw that same thread you speak of. All the other information I've found about the logitech mx duo and KVM switches don't seem to mention the extra buttons on the keyboard and mouse. I don't know much about KVM switches and I was going to pick up that...

    New system... won't POST

    yessir... I've been searching the web and doing some reading... apparently arctic silver 5 is pretty sticky and I've read a few stories of other people also removing the heatsink and having the CPU come right out of the locked socket also. According to them, it scared the hell out of them but...

    Think any tech sites will get DOOM 3 and run a hardware review before the official release date?

    yeah, I saw that too. I meant to say the normal "high setting" I guess.. I forget what PC Gamer called the even higher setting.. extreme or something.

    Think any tech sites will get DOOM 3 and run a hardware review before the official release date?

    There's been lots of talk lately about which card to get and what will be best with the game.. and of course, nobody really knows for sure until they have the game. But I've been wondering since PC Gamer got an advanced copy, I wonder if any tech sites will also and let people know what to throw...

    Ok, what have you heard computer salesman saying before...

    haha great thread. here's my contribution. I was helping my friend pick out some hardware for a wireless network. We were at bestbuy or compusa (can't remember) and they didn't have enough 802.11b stuff on the shelves. My friend asks if the A and G stuff is compatible with each other and the...

    New System

    I think I might just spend the extra $$$ go with the Mushkin I was originally planning on. I don't know too much about memory but from what I can see, athlon 64 boards are picky with ram. I didn't seem to read anything too helpful that would influence a decision on that THG article or anything...

    How do I get warranty from Microsoft?

    there was a long thread on this forum all about microsoft's return policy for mouses. can't seem to find it though. It seemed though, that there are long warantees on the majority of them and when something goes wrong all you have to do is fax them a photocopy of the bottom of your mouse with...

    CR-RW, DVD+R media

    I just got the plextor 708a a few months ago and haven't run into any real problems yet. I haven't experimented with a lot of different media yet though. The only moment of confusion I can think of is some trouble I had recently while backing up a few DVD movies. I ripped the movies to image...
