    Broken CPU or Broken Motherboard?

    I feel like such a heel! Helped a friend get an old W98 machine running. Working great for a couple weeks but needed a new cpu fan - AMD K7 Socket A. So I swapped them out. The old one was a pain to get off and even worse putting the new one on. Now after putting back together and booting up...

As long as something audible comes trickling out of my cheap computer speakers I'm happy. What I want to do is record to MP3, analog in -...

    Will SATA RAID 1 on ICH5R happen?

    I'm building a new system and have it narrowed down to a few mob candidates. I plan to start off with 1 SATA hd on ICH5R, then add another when RAID 1 becomes available on ICH5R. Does anyone have doubts about this happening? Plenty of review sites mention that Intel will add ICH5R RAID 1 via a...
