Job Search Question

I recently applied for a position which I believe I'm well qualified for. It also happens that this position is at my dad's former employer. After submitting my application I asked my dad if he knew anyone in the division in which I applied. It turns out that the manager of this division is...

So I'm gonna be in Chicago for 2 months...

As someone already mentioned, you can check out the top of Willis (Sears) Tower. I work on the observation deck and it's pretty cool to walk out on the glass floored viewing area. It costs $15.95 for general admission and it should take less than a half hour to get up there unless maybe if you...

Any Lurkers Out There?

I've been lurking here for years. Most of my posts are from when I was upgrading my computer in 2004. The sad thing is I was still using that computer up until a few months ago.

Working for Wal-Greens

I've worked as a Walgreens cashier for the past few summers. Occasionally I'll be asked to do a shift as a stock person, but 90% of the time I worked as a cashier. I've also worked in the pharmacy a few times, but that was by my own request so that I could train to be a pharmacy tech.

First Time DIY-er

I just upgraded my motherboard, processor and RAM and all hardware is working fine. I want to use the same HDD from my old setup with this one. However, I can't boot into Windows which I expected would happen. My plan was to download a DOS drive image utility, create the image, reinstall...

Motherboard Power Switch Connector Problem

Today when I tried to turn my newly upgraded computer on for the first time, nothing happened. I realized the Power Switch/LED connector has to be wired differently to work with my new mobo. The connector is that little black ah heck that plugs in on the bottom right corner of the mobo. The...

What are the symptoms of a broken mobo?

What are the symptoms of a mobo that might have been shorted out. Will your computer even turn on if this is the case? What other things could cause a broken mobo?

New Monitor Problems

UPDATE: I've going back to using my old CRT monitor, and now that isn't working. Is there something wrong with my AGP slot? If I don't find the answer soon I am going to cry.:(

New Monitor Problems

I got a new BenQ FP767 monitor for Christmas last week. The problems started almost immediately. On the first boot up with the new monitor I got a "No Signal" message. On the second try I actually got a picture with it and it worked for a about 5 mins until it went blank and gave the "No...

Athlon64 3400+ Now Available...

I am a little skeptical (along with Wetcat too I believe) since AMD's site doesn't mention it. Is it possible that ZipZoomFly made a little oopsie and mislabeled it?

Memory

ECC stands for Error Checking and Correction. It is more expensive than non-ECC and is mainly used in servers and workstations (especially ones with a lot of memory). In a home system you probably will not need ECC memory since it will not give you any more performance than non-ECC (I've heard...

A Question About Memory

I have a question that will probably sound stupid and n00bish to many but my question is this: Current mobos often support up to DDR400 for memory which is PC3200--Why then is there up to PC4200 memory if current mobos will not support it? If you used PC4200 in a mobo that only supported up to...

Components I'm Planning To Buy. Take a Look!

After poring over message boards, trudging through the jungle of countless hardware reviews, and searching Newegg for good components at a fair price while trying to stay at or around my budget of $800-$900, I've come up with the following... Soltek EQ3401M SFF barebones (sadly Newegg is out of...

A Tale of Three Processors

I see that the 2500+ is highly regarded among o/c'ers, however my apprehension about getting the 2500+ is that I doubt my overclocking ability and if I fail to make anything out of o/c'ing I still want to be left with an above average processor.

A Tale of Three Processors

The three processors I have been considering are the Athlon XP 3000 (400MHz FSB), the Pentium 4 3.0GHz (800MHz FSB), and the Pentium 4 2.8GHz (800MHz FSB). I am really not sure about the P4 2.8 and XP 3000 because they are so close in price. Would it be easy to overclock a P4 2.8 up to a P4...

vid card questions

I've been wondering which graphics card to put into my new computer. I ask that you rank the following in order of performance, and if you can please try to rank in terms of value also. If you think all three of these cards suck, feel free to "write in" a card that you think is of better...
