Me too, I miss the days when Monarch was around (and still reputable).
Anyway I got a fast response to my CPU order from this place, just too bad they have such a limited selection.
There is certainly a speed advantage to raid 0, but to me the benefits are outweighed by the complications and risk. If one of your drives decides it wants a little head on platter action your lose the data on the whole array. Since either drives failure will cause this, that means a 50% greater...
I would agree. Your going to be spending an awful lot of time staring at your monitor, so I would get a larger one that is easier on the eyes. I personally have a Dell 2001FP LCD which is about 19" that I haven't regretted buying once. I don't know if I would feel the same way if it was only a...
I am just now getting the pieces for a new system myself, and Cheesetogo has some good advice there.
The XP-120 is rather large and doesn't fit some mobo's. If that is the case for the Epox you could also look at the thermalright XP-90c + 92mm fan.
As far as the processor goes, check the...
Well, will be interesting to see if I get the combo. I am home from college for the summer and my dad got the e-mail from AMD and signed up for the Sunnyvale tech tour and ordered a desktop bundle for me. He does work for a company that builds media encoding systems. Now he decided he doesn't...
Dell has some pretty good monitors. The actual dell branded monitors are usually just OEM versions of other monitors, sometimes with slightly different (cheaper) internal components. I am using a Dell 19" P991 monitor. It is almost an exact copy of the Sony G450 with the same flat trinitron...
As a tech support rep for an ISP I would say definately get the router. JackMDS is right on with his points. Only other thing I will add to his points is that not having to have a software PPPoE program is great. It WILL speed up your connnection by a small amount, it will speed up the computer...
I use a ratpad. It is a large pad so lots of room for the mouse. Good textured surface and made from a hard plastic material which means you can just use a rag to clean it.
It is OEM- Says right in the description: "Model#: RADEON 9700 PRO 128M -OEM "
Good price - free shipping as well. I just wish Newegg didn't charge tax to CA...
LOL, this has infomercial written all over it:

OSX is nice, I am happy enough with Win2k however. I will never purchase a mac for the following reasons:
1. I like piecing together my computers - While possible with a mac it is more difficult.
2. I like gaming - Many games do not play on macs or take 6+ months or longer to be ported to...
Looking at that exact model (P991) at the moment. Wonderful monitor - very crisp picture and excellent color quality (video card can impact both obviously). I am with the camp that never notices the two damper wires. I got mine brand new direct from dell for $350 about 9 months ago and there is...
My hard drive makes the same sort of clicking noise - IBM 600BB (60gb 7200rpm) and it has been running for about 6 months now. Also have a 30gb quantum drive which also makes a quick clicking noise right as it shuts down. I am with those that believe it is the heads parking and perhaps the hard...
"I find your lack of a pricematch disturbing"
"You may strike me down but I will only become a more powerful neffer"
Alot of funny things you could say about this one :P
Seriously though, some good deals on what looks like a great game - waiting for a demo myself. Don't forget to check...
For any of you waiting for it to come back into stock, at Newegg the MSI StarForce 831 GeForce2 Pro 64MB DDR is back in stock for $142 + $10 shipping + tax (if in CA).
Almost forgot my link... MSI 64mb GF2 PRO
It is a great deal with many reporting getting one with 5ns DDR Ram. Best deal...
I dont mean to thread crap, but you can get a Lite-On 16x10x40 burner for under $120 with retail box.
linkified
The OEM version is even less, around $110
All we have to go on as far as RMA rates are our personal experiences. Asking which one has the highest RMA on ANY product is asking for a flame war since there is no way to prove it. If someone can find concrete data then be my guest.
Yes, it certainly is a valid concern. Basically it makes it easier for hackers to mask their identities while online. It also makes it easy for them to mask the identities of their victims since many times they hack into a persons computer for launching DOS attacks.
It is true that it is...
Yep...I finally picked up a couple sticks of PC2100 DDR in anticipation of the Abit KG7. I figure the prices are low enough and I don't see them getting much lower. Got two sticks of 256mb registered/ecc and it was $115 shipped after CA taxes. With the Abit board I have the option of going up to...
On the surface it is a pretty hot deal
Checked resellerratings.com - Scored a 4.7 which isn't too bad
However, I checked the comments and they were generally negative within the last few months so be warned.
Bozz,
<< LOL > Apex!!
We often use the I D ten T error, if you write it down on paper or the screen substituting "ten" for "10" then you'll get it... great when you are supporting a client and you realise it's a BDU error (Brain Dead User) >>
Heh, another fellow tech...
Jagr, I had a similar situation and here is what I did:
Cable modem goes to an SMC 4 port router ($40 after rebate)
One port on the router goes to my first computers NIC
The second port goes to a HomePNA to Ethernet bridge ($110)
The HPNA/Ethernet bridge goes to a phone jack
My second PC...
Thanks Rickten,
I double checked on that and it looks like mine is set correctly.
I just got it working though. Had my buddy boot into safe mode and then I removed his NIC in the device manager. When it rebooted into normal mode it redetected the NIC and I had it install the updated drivers...
I am having problems getting my friends 4 port SMC7004BR working with his computer and cable modem.
I am pretty sure it isn't the router, but figured I might as well see what some other people think. The power light is on, the self test blinks like it should. The light on port 1 is on which is...
From what I have seen, wireless nic's are pretty pricy.
$40 - $150 depending on brand, interface, and where you buy from.
Just noticed that Amazon also has a Netgear wireless PCI card for about $40 so not too bad...
Gundam,
<< Is there a standard Cable system? If I buy this one, would it work with other Cable providers other than AT&T? ie. Road Runner, or whatever other companies might spring up? (doesn't NetZero offer some free broad band connections??) >>
Yes, this modem is DOCSIS compatible...
<< AOpen MK7A - $150.00 @ AxionTech.com >>
I would recommend the MSI K7 Master but the Aopen will do ok...not sure why you are going for a micro ATX mobo though.
<< AMD Athlon 1GHz would you suggest a shim? - 1.33GHz - $153.95 ~$198.95 @ AxionTech.com >>
If you are overclocking go for a...
Yep, thats the same one I got Compgeek, been truckin along real nice. I got it new for $100 at a computer show.
I hope they release a free v.92 update for it though, so far they have only released the update for a few external models. Even when I get DSL I will probably have my modem in there...
<< who spends that much time and money testing 1000 MB's from each maufacturer, or even one? >>
No offense minimunch, but what exactly do you know about PCResources and his job - let alone why he does what he does.
Last time I checked, businesses didn't purposefully spend money for no reason...
<< I work at an ISP and I am always wondering what is the best one for our customers. We use V.90 modem >>
Just jumpin in here to add my opinion. I do tech support for a major ISP so I talk to alot of people with alot of different modems.
For the most part, I have found no one brand to stand...
<< good job lizard, you are now being looked over by an admin >>
LOL, should he be afraid?
What, mods gonna ban him for flaming a friggin RETARD?
Welcome to anandtech, and hope you don't stay long xgamer
<< Does the new KT133A based motherboards accept these DDR sticks ? >>
No, only the upcoming AMD760 and AMD760MP systems along with the current ALi chipset will accept DDR. The KT133a only accepts SDRAM
