what memory do you use?

Oops. I bought 2 sticks of Kingston pc2700 a few weeks ago for my nForce board. Maybe it was specific to me, but my PC would lock up fairly often. I was running everything at spec too. I RMA'd them and bought 2 sticks of Samsung pc2700. They've been rock solid. Again maybe it was just me...

VGA to NTSC converters.

I'm in need of an inexpensive way to hook a home theatre PC to my TV. My mobo is an older Intel IN810 with no AGP slot. The case I have only has room for low profile PCI cards. I've run across a few cards that would work but I'd like to be able to boot to the TV without having a clunky...

A few 802.11b questions

Alright, Alright. I actually did read the links you posted. The reason I was asking people, who have this set up in their homes, is because there are so many claims made by manufacturers. I know that there are a lot of variables, any of which can cause undesirable operation. I just wanted to...

A few 802.11b questions

Well, I'm convinced. One more thing though. How much is the signal affected by 2.4 ghz cordless phones? I won't have one of these but a neighbor might. It's an apartment so there might be only 2 walls beween the access point and one of these phones. Have you ever had a problem in this area...

A few 802.11b questions

I've read up on the subject of 802.11b quite a bit so I know what it is capable of doing. I've never actually seen it action so I'm interested to hear from people who are currently using it. I don't think distance will be an issue really (nothing will be more than 35-40 ft from the access...

A few 802.11b questions

I'm moving to a new apartment next month. I'm thinking about using a wireless router to share a cable modem connection, as well as share files amoungst PCs. I don't have any experience with wireless technology. I've always preferred the reliability of good old cat5. I know the speed of...

Cooling for VIA C3 800 mhz

Since it looks like I'll be going the fanless route...can anyone recommend a good heatsink? Someone mentioned the GlobalWin FDP. What vendor did you purchase it from? I've looked at the vendors I usually use (Googlegear, NewEgg) but they don't have much in the way of fanless heatsinks. I...

Cooling for VIA C3 800 mhz

I am building a low power/low cost pc to use in my home theatre. I have an 800 mhz VIA C3 cpu that I'm going to use. Because this PC is going to be in my living room, I want it to run as quietly as possible. Has anyone had any experience running the C3 without a fan. I plan on using a good...

Need MicroATX board with tv-out

I looked at the VIA EPIA boards with the integrated CPU. The thing is, I already have the CPU. The more I think about it, the more I want the Shuttle sv25. It's around the same price as the Via EPIA baords but it comes packaged in a nice aluminum case. Since I already have the CPU i'm good...

Need MicroATX board with tv-out

I'm building a home theatre PC. I already have several parts for it including a via 800 mhz C3, RAM, and a MicroATX case. One of the major requirements of this project is having a good TV-OUT solution. I want a motherboard with a high level of integration (LAN, Audio, Video). I can't seem to...
