    IBM EPP?

    My company has an EPP agreement with IBM, but when I go to the site it implies (though never states) that the EPP agreement is no longer valid with Lenovo... anyone know how to deal with this? Is it different than the IBM employees EPP (the division I work in actually used to be part of IBM...

    desktop builders?

    A friend of mine is just starting college and wants a desktop (not a laptop). She has $1000 or so to spend on a computer and I want to recommend her something that will last her 3 or 4 years... She's not a gamer, will be doing mostly papers, internet stuff, minor imaging / multimedia stuff...

    Samsung 910T @ Buy.com, $455 after $30 MIR until 2/28

    Linky In the past I had a pretty good impression of Samsung. Best prices I've seen on other (in some cases better performing, eg 16ms or lower) panels are $380-400 or so... Do you guys think that the Samsung name on the outside matters? For example the Hyundai that got linked on here...

    cheap notebook 5.1 channel?

    My GF has an IBM TP41 (Centrino 1.4 or 1.5 GHz, 512MB RAM, CD-R/DVD). She does not own a TV and watches movies on this laptop. I would like to purchase her some decent 5.1 speakers; since she has a very small apartment I think the Logitech Z-640s would probably be sufficient. However, to...

    Another RDRAM question

    I know that in P4-based systems, RIMMs are run in a dual-channel configuration, and thus must be installed in pairs. My friend has a P3 933/133 with the i820 and RDRAM, though (Gigabyte GA-6CX I believe), and we want to install some extra memory. Right now, one slot has a 128MB RIMM in it...

    Finding the MS Office Product Key on a computer when it's already installed

    Hey everyone. I have a few computers running at my office. Two of them have Office XP installed, the other does not. I want to install Office XP on the third, but I do not want to use the key from one I've already installed, as that would of course void the product activation and make me...

    RDRAM - matched pairs or just pairs?

    I know someone who has a RDRAM-based motherboard with a 256 MB RIMM. Can he add a 512 MB RIMM or must he used matched pairs? Thanks, Jake

    Installing Win2K from an MSDN Subscriptions DVD

    I have an MSDN Subscription DVD and wanted to install Windows 2000 from it onto a fresh, unused hard drive. The first thing I tried was copying the Windows 2000 directory off the DVD to a CD, then making floppies and booting from those. After a while spent trying to find 4 working floppies...

    Mobo suggestions - i845G, PC2700, P4 1.6A or 1.8A

    I'm going to assemble myself a new PC in the next month or so, and I'm planning to get something with the following features: A) I believe I want the i845G chipset. Onboard graphics would be handy until I can afford a 3D adapter, plus the optimized memory controller is nice B) PC2700 DDR...
