Questions concerning my new wireless mouse

No interferance, haven't tried other games, and not sure about that feature but it's definatley not "timing out" because it happens while I'm using it frequently. I think I'm just going to stick with a wired mouse for games.

I just bought this mouse yesterday for my desktop: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/produ...etails/US/EN,CRID=2135,CONTENTID=12004 I went for this instead over the "gaming/desktop" versions because it's smaller and more comfortable in my hands. However, I tried playing WoW with it last...

Need advice on how to upgrade my desktop

If I went with PCI-E would it be worth staying with 939 or would be dumb for not also moving to AM2? I guess a new 939 mobo with a nice PCI-E card wouldn't be too pricy if I didn't also need to upgrade the CPU or RAM

What is this cable for?

What's the advantage to using that over the analog cable? Does it read sound directly off the CD instead of filtering through the cable?

I also have an NEC 3500 and it didn't come with such a cable. Does this mean the NEC won't be able to play CDs and movies etc?

What is this cable for?

I can't for the life of me figure out what in the world this cable is for. It has two female ends that are black with four small holes in them. The wires are white, black and red. I thought all a DVD drive needed was a regular power connector and an IDE cable? What in the world is this for? It's...

How long does it take Newegg to refund a canceled order?

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3 only supports two fans?

I just bought a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3 but I'm worried it doesn't have a way to connect all five of my fans. The manual shows power connectors for cpufan1, sfan1, sfan2, and nbfan1. Am I going to be stuck with only two fans?

Which mobo for a 939 90nm?

I've been reading horror stories about people trying to get their Asus A8V to work with a 90nm CPU. Apparently, most of the time the machine won't even post until you update the bios with a 130nm CPU. That just sounds like such a potential pain in the ass. What's the best choice when it comes to...

Maxtor 300GB 7200RPM 16mb SATA Hard Drive

http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=22-144-359&depa=0 Does anyone have any thoughts on this drive? Supposedly, the 16mb buffer makes it almost as fast as a raptor. Is there any truth to this? I'm sceptical since the drive isn't very popular.

New "reliable" computer needed, Dell?

If I had your system and $1000 I would buy a really good PSU for around $150 (Antec, OCZ, Enermax, Forton etc), a 6800 GT for around $400, 1gig Crucial Ballistix memory for around $300 and then a new CPU such as a retail AMD 64 3000 for $160 or so. Then you could sell your old parts and use the...

How can I make this rig better without going over $1500?

Actually, I'm thinking of Crucial Ballistix if I upgrade memory. If I use the SOHO file server case, upgrade memory to Ballistix, and drop to the 200GB Seagate SATA, I'm still under $1500. Then, when I'm ready to OC it, all I'd have to buy is a better HSF and maybe some case fans. Or maybe I...

How can I make this rig better without going over $1500?

First, the NEC 3500 also burns CDs so that's not an issue. The Lite on also reads CDs so that's not an issue. I think the combo there is perfect for my needs. I also took the advice on the Antec SOHO file server since the PSU is higher and it looks like it has more room. As for the drive, I...

What's the best RAM for a DFI Lanparty UT/A64?

Cool, I can finally log in again. I'm thinking I need at least 2 gigs ram to run Everquest II. Three might be pushing it, but I think 2 gig would be useful in games like this that take advantage of high memory.
