I then immediately smelled the...

    Abnormally hot Athlon XP 2600+ (Barton)

    I helped my friend build his computer a couple months ago. We originally used a really cheap $30 ATX case and stock cooling on everything. The CPU was VERY hot (idle at 60(!)). So we got him a good case with good airflow, including a fan at the front to pull in cooler air and two at the back...

    Gigabyte nForce 2 Motherboards: RealTek vs. Nvidia

    Can someone please explain the relationship between a "Realtek AC650 AC97 Codec" and "Nvidia MCP"? I'm having major problems with sound (it's defaulting to software sound, Nvidia ForceWare say I don't have an Nvidia MCP, etc. How do I disable RealTek and enable Nvidia? Anyone know? ...

    Gigabyte GA-7N400-L Integrated Sound

    I'm helping my friend build a computer. He's got a Gigabyte GA-7N400-L, so we're trying to use the onboard sound since it's pretty good. He's got some 5.1 speakers for it, as well (Logitech 640s). Sound only ever wanted to come out of the front speakers, though everything was hooked up right...

    TV-Tuner Card & 802.11b

    This is sorta double-pronged question, but help with either would be much appreciated. I'm looking at buying a TV-Tuner card for my computer. I would like one that's of great quality, that's basically the only criteria I have. Stuff like DVR-like capabilities don't really matter to me. Does...

    802.11g network connection for a roaming laptop

    I am acquiring a new laptop, with 802.11g support, so I'm going to be building a wireless 802.11g network in my house. I only need one connection though (my laptop) and I have a switch (not a hub or router), so every individual connection to that demands its own IP address for which I am to pay...
