    Pocket PC vs PDA

    This is probably a stupid question. What is the main difference between a "Pocket PC" and a "PDA"? They look exactly alike from what I can see. Is one more preferred than the other? (Or are they the same thing?)

    Does anyone here happen to know a number BestBuy.com customer service? (not the 1-888-bestbuy number) For their online store. I ask because I emailed them a question about having returned a printer that came with a $30 mail in gift card that I purchased with instore pickup at their website...

    BestBuy and "Performance Service Plan"

    I was wondering if anyone knows whether BestBuy's "Performance Service Plan" is worth it? Or just a ripoff? I purchased an IP4000 printer from them recently for $128 (with tax) and was debating if I should get their extended warranty (PSP) (3 years for $29). I did a search on Google, and...

    Memory price fixing

    I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I have always known that the memory manufacturers were doing price fixing. And today I read the proof. Jail terms for DRam price fixers Hardware is not something that should be fluxuating as much as memory has in the past. I also said the same thing...

    Numpad on keyboards

    I was planning on getting a new keyboard, and saw a lighted Zippy keyboard that doesn't have the seperate numpad on it. Do any of the newer games require a numpad to work? Or is it unwise to get a keyboard without a numpad? Just debating whether I need to get a keyboard which has a...

    DFI Lanparty NF3-250 & memory

    I recently installed this board, however my ram appears to not be great for overclocking. I have two sticks of Corsair xms512-3200c2pt memory. But whenever I try to overclock the FSB, the memory matches the same speed. And fails memtest when I go over 200. Is there any option to lock...

    ADA2800BOX vs ADA2800axBOX

    ADA2800BOX ADA2800axBOX Does anyone know what the difference is between these two AMD64 2800 cpu's? Newegg sells the one with "ax" in its name, and Zipzoomfly sells the one without ax in the name. Both say its a Newcastle core. But I thought I read on one web page that only the ax...

    NEC 2500a and DVD-RW media

    Does anyone here who owns the NEC-2500a or 2510 know if it works fine with the DVD-RW media? (not the +rw) If so, which brand is best? I only ask because my older combo dvd drive does not support the +rw media. I though it might be good if I got the dvd media that both drives could read in...

    DOS drivers for SATA?

    I don't own a SATA drive yet, but was debating whether to get one or just another EIDE drive. I read that you can't see SATA drives when you are in DOS. Are there any drivers for DOS that would allow you to access the drive? I mainly want to be able to see the drive in DOS so that when I go...

    Router/Cable modem and heat

    Does anyone know how much heat will be bad for a router or cable modem? Or how much heat a router/cable modem can withstand? We have a new house built, and they installed the OnQ system. Without asking us first they put the box with all the connections, in the attic. It gets VERY hot up...

    Cdrom only works with certain power supplies?

    I just transferred my computer over to a new case with a new Enermax 350w power supply. However after doing that, my Toshiba DVD cdrom drive did not work with the new power supply, the drive led light just flashes. So I put my old 300w oem "Enhance" brand power supply in, and that cdrom drive...

    Different Enermax Power Supply revisions?

    Not sure if this is the appropriate group to post this in or not. But I recently received a "refurbished" Enermax (EG365P-VE FMA) power supply from Newegg. However the one I received only shows 17A on the +12v line. The one shown on Neweggs website and on the Enermax site show the +12v line...

    Gmono or Impression with a7n8x motherboard

    I was wondering if anyone here has this combination? Both the Gmono case and the Impression brand cases are exactly the same from what I can tell. I was thinking of maybe getting one of these cases, however I read in one of the user comments on Newegg that a guy had trouble fitting his Asus...

    A7N8X Deluxe and Asus Probe

    This may be a stupid question, but was wondering what the voltage readings in the Asus Probe program represent? Is that supposed to show how much voltage is currently being used on each line? And is there anything I should be watching out for on those readings? Thanks for any reply.

    Where to purchase an MSI bios?

    Just wondering if anyone knows where one could purchase/get a MSI K7T266 Pro2 Bios chip? My brother had this motherboard but thinks he trashed the Bios. Originally it was purchased from Newegg a long while ago. (I have the same motherboard myself also, but mine is ok). I sent an email to...

    Networking a printer and security

    I've always heard that having file sharing on is a security risk, but does this also apply to sharing a laser printer through a hardware router. I only want to share it with another person in the same house. Or is there a security risk with that? I'm very computer literate, but new to...
