I'm going to build a new PC in the next 7-10 days and could use some suggestions on what components to purchase. It's been about 5-6 years since I built my current desktop and I'd like to keep my budget below $1,500 if at all possible. Thought I would use the template that is in the sticky in...
I'm going to build a new PC in the next few weeks and could use some suggestions on what components to purchase. It's been about 5-6 years since I built my current desktop and I'd like to keep my budget below $1,500 if at all possible. Here's what I am thinking about each component-
Case -...
I just purchased an iPhone 4 after using a Nexus One for a month and I can say that both OS' have their pros and cons. This constant fanboy bickering on both sides reminds me of Sega vs. Nintendo or Microsoft vs. Sony.
The only way you could have a perfect smartphone is if you could combine...
It's not but I don't think it gives you the options to replace system notifications for text messages, voice mail alerts, etc. using custom sound files either.
Thanks, I guess we'll just keep waiting for even the most basic features to be added to the facebook app. You'd think that with over 500 million active users, a decent percentage of whom probably have smartphones, that facebook would get with the program a little better.
One other thing that jailbreaking helps out with is the ability to use mp3 ringtones that you might already have without having to convert them into other formats to get on the phone.
I am a long time iPhone user but spent 3 weeks testing out a new Nexus One before getting an iPhone 4 this week and had a question on the facebook app. On the Android version, you can manually link your contacts to their facebook account if the automated script doesn't link the two together...
Looks like I missed out on a great deal! That TV would have been perfect for what we are looking for and well within our budget. Looks like it is now out of stock at Dell and listing for $749 when it is available again :(
Thanks for the suggestions everybody! I am truly vexed now. Found a USB/PS2 adapter and tried it on all 6 of my USB ports on the PC and no dice. The bios gets to the POST screen and it sees the processor, RAM and all of the drives but still with the "Keyboard not found error".
Thoughts?
I have been using the Logitech MX5000 keyboard and mouse set up for about 2 or 3 years with no problems on my home build PC that is about 5 years old at this point. I went into my home office yesterday morning and found that my computer had rebooted in the middle of the night and was at the...
Thanks, I did reseat the card and even used an old Nvidia card that my neighbor had. Even ran into issues with that though which is making me think it might be something more than my video card going out. It worked overnight with the old card but then the PC went into a reboot loop and now...
Yeah, that's it. Maybe it was that the X800XT was the first card that was dual link @ that resolution and I had been using the VGA connector prior to its release. I just remember that because I have had this Sun Microsystems 24" Widescreen LCD since '02 that it was a nightmare finding a...
The X800XT ran it perfectly, probably the best video card that I have ever had. I'm having to replace it because it goes into sleep mode after the computer has been running anywhere from boot up to 5-10 minutes and won't wake up. The 6200 Nvidia is the card that says it won't support 1920x1200...
It didn't make much sense to me either, I got it from the EVGA website about the card that was here locally. I got the X800XT to be able to play games on my PC when I built it some years back. There really weren't too many cards able to do 1920x1200 via DVI back in '04. The Radeon card that I...
I don't really need gaming performance since I haven't played a game on it since HL2 back around '06. I do need fast 2D desktop capabilities as I keep a lot of windows open and have multiple tabs in the browser going all the time. Don't want to have to wait on a slow GPU to redraw the screen...
I believe my old ATI Radeon X800XT Platinum AGP graphics card is dying (monitor goes into sleep mode a few moments after booting, have done troubleshooting and believe this to be the case). I paid a fortune for that card about 5 years ago because there were no real options if I wanted to use my...
Well I couldn't leave well enough alone and wanted to make sure I had the most up to date drivers on my new HD and Win XP w/SP2 install. In reading some of the Nvidia forums, I saw that many people were using the MEI modified nWare 07.02 drivers on their nforce2 boards and seeing good results...
Dude, you ROCK! For some reason, when I just typed in the WEP password it was connecting to the network but not pulling an IP. I went in and manually typed in the 26 digit key and voila!
Since my wife's laptop was using a Netgear card, it worked perfect with the WEP password and I didn't...
I'm stumped on this one but was hoping that somebody here might have seen this issue before :)
I am running a Netgear WPN824 WiFi router on my home network with a Speedstream 5100B modem in bridged mode connecting to the Internet. It's been running great for the past 6 months with a couple...
I have been using Nero 6 and RecordNow Max 4.5 as my primary burning software until my Pioneer DVR-107 died last week. I replaced it with a DVR-110D and now I'm ticked off that my old RecordNow Max won't recognize it. Any suggestions on the best software for burning .img files with the new...
Yeahhh...if you listen to the actual context of the entire comment that Bush made on UBL, it was that he wasn't as worried about UBL as UBL should be of America.
Guess that would be logical though :confused:
I'm old enough to have been an adult back in 96 when Clinton decided that 2 debates was enough so I remember it clearly. You most likely were in grammar school if you are using words like "lame" in a political discussion. Why don't you google up the fact that nobody had anything negative to...
Exactly, there is always a double standard when the Republicans try to do something that the Dems had no problem with when they were in a position of power.
Why do you want a debate? I notice from your sig that you've already made your choice and I'm sure that even if Bush came out and...
Or it is very likely that Kerry could do the same thing... What makes you so sure that he wouldn't pop off another classic like "I actually did vote for the $87B BEFORE I voted against it"? Just because Kerry is long winded doesn't mean that he is any better in a debate setting.
You are right smarty pants, it was 1996. I guess that most people still forget about the human tree, Al Bore. Of course you skirt around the truth in what I was saying in that there is a double standard in play here. Nobody had anything negative to say about Clinton deciding that 2 debates...
Was there a thread on this forum slamming Clinton when he decided that two debates was enough back in 1996? I don't think so because that would mean applying the same standard to both parties :disgust:
Thanks, that's good info! I did some additional digging on my PC and found out that the browser hijacker was not completely gone. Apparently those things can be pretty nasty and I thought that I had my PC pretty well protected via firewall and anti-virus. Those things didn't do squat to this...
Maybe YOU want to get the facts straight Jhhnn. I was specifically referencing the debates of 2000 and not the election but since you went there...
I'm guessing that you are just outright forgetting the fact that the USA Today investigation into the Florida recount showed that no matter what...
All of you folks seem to be forgetting that Bush kicked Al Gore's ass in the 2000 Presedential elections and Gore is a lot smarter than John Kerry.
The smartest person doesn't always win the debate and isn't always the better choice as a candidate. FWIW, doesn't Bush have an MBA from...
I am running Windows XP Pro w/SP1 and backed up my PC last night with Norton Ghost 2003. After the backup image finished writing to my external HD, I noticed that my commit charge at idle has gone from around 130M to 560M.
I did have a browser hijacker that I had cleaned yesterday but I...
I think the best reason to vote for Bush/Cheney is that neither one of them is an attorney. John Kerry and John Edwards are both liberal lawyers that would never support any tort reform. If the US doesn't get a handle on lawsuits and outrageous damages, the economy will implode. Don't believe...
OK, following your line of thought that Vietnam was an immoral war...What justification did JFK have for sending US forces there? That's right, we would not have even been in Vietnam if it had not been for Teddy Kennedy's brother sending us there back in the early 60s. So the Democrats sent...
I just picked up a PNY 6800 GT from CompUSA (Free Doom III!) and was getting ready to install it when I noticed that it says the max LCD resolution is 1600x1200. The problem is that my monitor is a 24.1" LCD and requires 1920x1200 to operate correctly. I just assumed that the 6800 GT would work...
