I have just gotten roadrunner cable and I want to share it between my xp machine, my sister's 98 and a sun sparcstation. I am looking at getting a Dlink 704p ($40 at officemax). Is Dlink cheap junk or high quality, I don't mind spending more for less headaches if there is something else that...

Moving everything to a new drive....will Partition Magic 7 do it?

Partion black magic has screwed up my system so I steer clear of it. Norton Ghost is perfect for what you are doing.

What's your recommendation for an XP compatible TV card?

I have an Ati TV wonder and it made a seemless transion to XP. I used to have a Haupage(sp?) and I was not as impressed with it, could never get it to capture with out crashing.

Audiophiles: best powered speakers for computer under $300

I have thought of those, but I really want to move away from regular multimedia speakers. Even the Klipsch are sub-par when compared to "real" audiophile type speakers. I am not looking for the most powerful, just ones that are very accurate and produce the cleanest sound. That is why I have...

Audiophiles: best powered speakers for computer under $300

I listen to a lot of music on my computer and my altec lansings sound like crap. I have been looking at powered reference speakers for recording but they are all too expensive. I really like the Roland ds-50a since they have digital inputs, but $250 each on sale is a little steep. Anyone know of...

Looking for help on what Gforce3 Video card to buy.

I bought an Inno3d from ocie.com and now the oem version is only $159 (I payed $175 for the TV out version). It also has 4ns memory and comes with cool blue orb fan and ram heat sinks so overclocking should be great but I haven't tried yet. I have heard a lot of good about Inno3d quality too.

Best video card for pro engineer

Thanks Tenchim good point. Are there any other good workstation cards? The Synergy III looks nice but it is twice as much at $300, what does this card have that is worth the added expense over the Synergy II? How does a 3dlabs card compare. Their website did not load and that makes me a little...

Best video card for pro engineer

Pricewatch shows oxygen vx1 for $105 and a synergy 2000 quadro 2 for $156. These are both less than either a geforce 3 ti 200 or a radeon 8500, would they be better for what we are doing. Is there anything better than a oxygen or quadro 2 less than our budgeted price (hey if you got the money...
