    Big improvement of 4MB cache over 2MB?

    I was wondering what the performance difference is due to increased cache size. Would a larger cache size be a reason to spend more on a CPU?

    Is this memory a good deal?

    I'm going with an E6400 and the Gigabyte S3 MB. Is this RAM a good deal for the price. I only want to do moderate oc'ing. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145034

    Problem with Belkin Message Manager Router. Help Please!

    Yeah, I know I can reset the Belkin back to default, but I kind of wanted that to be a last option because I would have to contact my voip support to get all of the settings that were originally in there for using the phone. Since I disabled DHCP on the Belkin router, if I assign my computer...

    Question about windows 2003 server licences

    I'm not familiar with Citrix, so I assume we won't be running it. So you are saying as long as we purchase the 2003 Server Standard Edition, then we will be able to access programs on the server from client's computers with no additional licences?

    How to pinpoint annoying high pitch noise??

    I do have a CRT, but it is definitely coming from the system. I'm pretty sure this MB doesn't have a fan on the chipset, so that couldn't be the problem. I have checked the graphics card fan and it isn't it. I havn't check the power supply fan, so that could be it although it doesn't...

    How to pinpoint annoying high pitch noise??

    I'm getting a high pitch noise coming from my system. It is not exremetly loud, but loud enough for me to notice and it to annoy me. I know it is not the case fan or the cpu fan (i stopped these fans with my finger which probably wasn't the wisest thing to do but oh well). The noise seems to...
