Marlin1975,
SOHC engine, no modifications.
If you are interested, please check my post above for the list of problems, and any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!
I haven't had a good experience with dealerships...hesitant to take it to one as I got ripped off pretty badly last time.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to cars...*sigh*

Yeah I've been told it's either the head gasket or the main rear valve. I will check the...
Hi,
I'm having all sorts of trouble with my 96 Plymouth Neon (oil leak, electrical issues, O2 sensor problem), and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good mechanic in the Northern Bay Area (preferably close to Berkeley/Oakland) that I can go to. I'm desparate! I have had NO luck in finding...
Went there today to check out the store and to make a return - which was a mistake. They are still training the new hires on how to use the cash register system, so they are incredibly slow. Also saw faces that used to work at Pinole (yes, I go to Best Buy way to much haha). But the store...
They also gave me a non-working UPS tracking number, and I still have yet to see the heatsink.
IMHO, SVC's service has been going down lately. My friend's order also got screwed up 2 weeks ago (something went out of stock, and they cancelled the entire order without telling him). And their...
MikroMak,
I believe it is USB 1.1 compatible, however you will only achieve 4x4x6 speeds.
bonk102,
The online price has been updated. You can order now either online or over the phone. I just did it.
This is for fellow Anandtechers in the BAY AREA, CA
So has anyone found a BB that will do the PM against Microcenter? From what I've read in the thread, looks like Pinole is a definite no-go so far. Just wondering which one is more "worth" that drive.
Thanks!
If you buy this baby, it all depends on your luck...
I built one for a friend who needed a cheap computer 6 months ago. Put an old 4gig HD in there and some Kingston 256MB Ram that I picked up from OD for $10. It's been running XP without any problems, and I didn't have to switch out the CMOS...
Hello Everyone,
The last 8 systems that I have put together have all been AMDs, now I'm trying to help a friend build an Intel-based system. What I know for sure right now is that we are going to try to overclock it, but only using stock heatsink and fan for now (try to keep it quiet)...

I've also noticed this difference between FAT32 and NTFS, although I'm sure this probably won't affect too many people...
I recently purchased Norton Ghost Personal Edition, and it doesn't seem to work well with NTFS partitions. You can't see the NTFS partitions in Norton Ghost, which means...
Never used OCZ RAM so not sure how good or bad their stuff is, but after reading many nightmare stories I don't think I'll ever buy from them.
Products aside, I think just the fact that they have 5-6 different online storefronts for one actual store is pretty shady.
Glad I got Crucial. A...
wyvrn the almighty diamond member who knows everything,
Ignorant I might be, but at least I've learned how to read and interpret the English language.
First of all, please read my comment "the process COULD TAKE UP to as much as 30-40% of your CPU cycles." Please pay attention to the words...
I used both the S110 and now the S330.
The 1X more zoom is more than one might think. Beforehand I didn't think 1X more zoom makes any difference either, but once I used both on the same subjects I can really tell the difference.
However, I don't know if the size difference is worh the 1X...
Cheap modems like winmodems (also called software modems) process their signals using software drivers, using up your CPU cycles and other resources. The process could take up to as much as 30-40% of your CPU cycles.
Hardware modems do their signal processing using an onboard chip so it uses a...
This really sucks, I just got my dazzle reader today from Dell (it was backordered), only to find out that the rebate has been pulled early.
If anyone finds out more about that rebate - including any ideas on exactly how to "raise hell" about it (should we complain to rebateshq, or another...
Flashing to the latest firmware version doesn't upgrade this router to 128bit WEP - at least not when I did it. According the SMC's technical specs this router just can't do 128bit WEP.
I tried installing the drivers off the CD and still got printing problems in XP - I guess I must did...
The legit website to do this is at:

Sponsored by the Direct Marketing Association, this will take your e-mail off some lists for two years.
Some differences between the 2 models:
The A version supports 128bit WEP encrpytion while the old version that I received only supports 64bit.
Cosmetically they are very different. The old version has ports in the front and printer and serial connections in the back. The newer A version has...
BUYERS BEWARE!
I bought this router from Tigerdirect last Friday and received it today.
Tigerdirect shipped me a SMC7004WBR instead of SMC7004AWBR as originally advertised on their website.
This is a totally different product, it looks completely different and has ports at the front of the...
Artist9,
Where from? I'm looking for a cheap cordless phone with speakerphone (for those calls to rebate centers) and answering machine. $20 sounds perfect!
Thanks.
Technically NOT a flaming hot deal! This kit will put the flames out before it gets too hot!
Alright, bad joke. Anyway, great deal! Gonna go check out my local HD today for it. Been looking for fire extinguishers for both the home and the car.
Thanks for the heads up!
I believe it says "Backordered" for everybody, just not for the ones who ordered late.
The estimated shipping date of 3/5/02 came in the automated confirmation e-mail. There's no mention of that date on the website as far as I can see. I doubt many of us will see our cards shipped on that day...
I'm having trouble running Ghost Recon with all maxed out settings on my sytem (Athlon XP 1800@1610mhz, 512MB Crucial DDR, Geforce3 Ti200@205/480 - you can check my system rig if interested for full specs). I had a Radeon 8500 before, and it didn't run smoothly either and crashed all the time...
I have to agree with the Geforce recommendation.
I built my new system based on the Athlon XP chip last November, and I plucked down $200 for the Radeon 8500 because of all the hype, and because of my previous good experience with the original Radeon. It turned out that the Radeon 8500 was...
I just switched to this plan also. For the Bay Area (particularly in Berkeley), I think this is currently the best plan offered by any wireless service. Now I can get the roaming advantage of Spring PCS + the great reception of Verizon.
Spent today morning painting this little devil. I picked up some black and red spray paint from the local Ace Hardware.
Anyway, just finished putting the machine back together, and I took some photos for you guys to enjoy:
Barbie's Makeover
I orderd the Xircom USB to Ethernet adapter from Tigerdirect, and it shipped within a day of my order. They also e-mailed me my UPS tracking number.
I've heard lots of bad things about Tigerdirect, but it looks like they did come thru this time...perhaps I just got lucky.
