Athlon 2 X4 or Phenom 2 X3??

Thanks guys for all of the good info. I think as we get into all of these different number of cores, different memory speeds, and stuff like that it is getting more complicated to choose the right hardware for your needs. It sounds to me like the phenom is going to be the best way to go. I...

Requires Windows CD to boot

The error message I am getting "Disk boot failure, insert system disk." If I leave an XP disk in the drive, it loads right into Windows.

LCD TV as Monitor?

Cool. Sitting farther away is not a problem. Just want to make sure that hardware limitations are not going to get in the way of what I am planning in my head! Thanks!

?s about going to dual core

I am finally jumping on the dual core bandwagon but have some questions as I have not kept up with hardware in a long time. I am cutting out Directv and planning to use this machine for accessing sites such as Hulu and Joost, as well as for watching stuff found through bittorrent. I possibly...

LCD TV as Monitor?

I am moving to a 1 bedroom apartment to be on my own and want to get rid of Directv which I have had for 2 years and replace it with Hulu, Joost, Bittorrent, and other web technologies. Currently I have a 22" monitor but that is not big enough for a TV. If I buy a 32" or bigger tv, can I hook...

Recovering Files From Encrypted Partition

Hmmm... I thought it did. Ok, well, maybe its not encrypted then. If I remember right, I did something to it so that only a particular user could access the data on it. It worked perfectly last week, but once windows was reinstalled it does not work any more and gets the errors I mentioned...

dead for now: possible 7600GS (7300GT?) 128MB $37.25 shipped

Definitely a good deal. This will be a good upgrade from my craptastic 7200LE I am running right now. The retailer is good. They are not too far up the road from me and I have never had a problem with them before.

Why I hate my job

Hate to say it but firewolf brings up a good point. If it is that unsafe to drive and your company puts out a policy like that, essentially forcing you to come to work, and you get in an accident they are going to have some responsibility. When the fires were going on here in San Diego last...

Cox and Bittorrent Throttling?

Has anybody heard about Cox throttling bittorrent traffic like Comcast does? What I am seeing is that pretty much as soon as I startup my bittorrent client my web connection slows down. It slows down to the point where even Google wont load. I get errors like the website is unavailable. I...
