    What is the good Backup/Syncing program for PC *and* Mac?

    I own both a Mac and PC. Most of my personal files are on my PC desktop since that's where I first started. And, my desktop can hold much more data than my laptop at the moment. I also trust that 3.5" drives are less likely to go under since my laptop drive moves around quite a bit and is much...

    Upgrading Northwood 2.6GHz for ~$40

    My budget is super low, the lower the better. I see lots of 3.2 and 3.4 Prescotts out there so I could go with this, but will I REALLY see any good advantages over my 2.6C? I know I won't see a HUGE performance increase with these chips but something is better than nothing. In this day and...

    Should I keep my BH-5 PC3500 memory?

    The reason I initially bought these chips was because I did want to juice up and overclock my computer a little (P4 2.6, p4p800-dlx, Radeon 9800, etc). I did not, however, buy any watercooler and ocing usually means a really hot system. So, I haven't really done anything special with them...

    How to change Schema Master role

    On our current Schema Master DC of the domain, I just found an error in the event viewer saying the following: I'm gonna take a wild guess that this is most likely going to result in having to replace the hard drive. Thus, we need to get this server off the network since it doesn't have a...

    Win2k AD server rejoining domain.. easiest way to do this?

    About 6-12 months ago, we decided to bring down a server from our domain because there were connectivity and network issues with this server, but we never disjoined the network. Thus, it still exists as a DC on the current network. Since that time, the network has been running pretty well...

    Macintosh & external firewire hard drive question

    I hope someone knows this answer. I am looking at connecting an external firewire hard drive to a macintosh running OS 9.1. If I connect an 80GB or 120GB hard drive with FAT32, will the macintosh read the disc alright? I'm doing this for pro audio purposes.

    running a 1600+ oc'ed, won a 2200+...sell or keep?

    I'm running a very nice 1600+ AROIA and it overclocks wonderfully. So I then go to the AMD giveaways and win myself a nice 2200+. I'm happy that I won it (was expecting a 2400+ and AMD let me down in that way...oh well). I'm more interested in getting the 2400+ because it supposively oc's...
