    Just need Stable Router

    I personally would not by the Cisco E4x00 routers. Mine worked fine for about 6 months, then it locked up and needed to be repowered. Nothing has changed, no setting changes, no new devices. In the last week it has degraded even more and now it totally locks up at least once per day until I...

    Which cheap hard drive enclosure?

    The one I listed from Compusa is aluminum, but the ends are plastic. There are 300+ reviews online so I thought what the heck, for $10 I'll try it. In about 3 months of almost daily use it has worked well. I'd bet if I put in a faster drive it would transfer faster, the Fujutsu is S-L-O-W...

    Which cheap hard drive enclosure?

    Can't help on USB3, but I got a Sabrent EC-UST25 Hard Drive Enclosure - 2.5 SATA to USB 2.0 from CompUSA for $9.99 and it works well. I use an old slow 250GB Fujitsu drive from wife's laptop and it writes about 30-40MB/s. It works with every PC I have, but not with the picky Cisco E4200 router...

    micro-ATX mobos to unlock Sempron 145

    Old post but I doubt that nvidia based boards will unlock it. I believe you need a 710 southbridge or later chipset, plus you want to verify they implemented it. I have an Asus M4A785-M that unlocks my Sempron 140. My older Gigabyte 780G with a 700 southbridge board does not. I'd bet most...

    Using as a PC as a Router/Gateway device, how many of you do it?

    A free wireless combo? If so, nice of them. AT&T wanted an extra charge PER MONTH for a wireless combo last I knew. I don't want to talk to AT&T if I can help it, took them 6 months usually multiple calls per month, just to fix my bills. Hey, you need the spare Matrox MGA graphics card I...

    Using as a PC as a Router/Gateway device, how many of you do it?

    I thought about this too, but the 3rd party software seems to depend on very specific hardware, usually a Broadcom or Atheros (sp?) chip. Most motherboards come with Realtek stuff, sigh. Scroll through the page linked below and look at all the supported hardware, the top of the page lists all...

    Looking for DD-WRT capable N router

    First thing I'd do is look on the forums to see how people like them. There is a lot of unhappiness over Netgear's 3700 v1, v2 AV37, etc model labeling, some problems with them too. Didn't look good to me, plus I read that moderators like to delete posts that give Netgear a black eye. 3800...

    Using as a PC as a Router/Gateway device, how many of you do it?

    This COULD be a really good topic. How about a discussion of what hardware/software you use, why, and what works or doesn't work instead of flaming each other? I am in the need for something, not trusting my old WRT54G v2 router right now, factory firmware. It totally crashed recently, I...

    New plan, phone, etc...non-cell user needs help

    We've been with T-mobile for 7 years and they said "we don't see you going anywhere soon, just sign another 2 year contract for a Samsung 'Smiley' T359 phone and a $5/mo preferred unlimited data plan". She was unsure of what they'd do if I got the Nokias, "not familiar with those models". She...

    New plan, phone, etc...non-cell user needs help

    Am I correct, these Nokia phones would not work on any carrier that's Sprint or Verizon based? Looks like there is a $10 web2go for Tmobile...if they would let me add it to her existing phone plan. Still more than the $25 Virgin billing, but I'm familiar with T-Mobile and know it will work...

    New plan, phone, etc...non-cell user needs help

    Thanks for the feedback. I don't know what carriers the iPhone 3GS works on or how much it costs without a plan, looks like $339 on Buy and $274 for a refub on newegg. It might defeat the purpose of her iPod Touch too. I might use another carrier instead of T-Mobile, not sure yet. Walmart...

    New plan, phone, etc...non-cell user needs help

    I am a hard core PC guy (mainframes/solaris/linux/Win/etc), don't even have a cell phone nor do I want one, BUT my wife has had one for years and needs a new phone. I have been reading but there are too many companies/plans/phone choices and I need some help. She is the type of person who...

    Cheap MoBo for AMD X2

    You better find out if you have a socket 939 X2 or an AM2. If it is 939 you won't find a new board for it. Take a side panel off and look at the board so you know what you have first.

    How much is ur power bill?

    $600 HOLY COW!!! I live in Palm Beach County, technically a 4/2. This is my payment history. I have hurricane windows and doors now, but it wasn't much higher when we had crap single panes that rattled when dinky planes flew over. We have some insulation in the attic but it very poorly done...

    Running CAT5e and RG6 next to each other?

    I pulled 3 Monoprice cat6 to every room, also a single Walmart quad shield RG6 to 2 rooms. They were all pulled together. The only problem I had was running the cat6 behind/near the main power breaker box in the garage, nearby power lines borked the cat6 signals, didn't help cable either...

    I bought 2 "cheap" Panasonic plasmas (42" ~$450 bedroom and 50" ~$650 living room), 720p over a year ago. My wife and I both love them, after all she picked them out!! We watch about 70 percent TV (recorded) on SageTV system played back on SageTV hd200s, 30 percent DVDs, no bluray yet. We had...

    Help Me Shop for (probably used) 2 Channel Integrated Amp

    Warning - I spent far too much time hacking around testing computer music. I settled on a Chaintech sound card I had on hand, output digital (optical?) sound to a Gamma 2 DAC, then output to an old Rotel preamp/amp. I use an old pair od B&W 610 speakers. I personally think that the key to...

    Opinion on Sony Receiver?

    Make sure your receiver has Audyssey multieq. It will make it really easy to setup and will sound great. I believe all Denons have it. Look around AVSforum and see what people think of the receivers you are considering. I'd say Audyssey multieq is more important than the codecs...

    eD Subs -- a2-300 vs HSU STF-2 vs HSU VTF-2 MK III.

    I'd personally buy the STF-2 on sale and forget about it. It still might be too much, at least plenty, for an apt. I don't game so I can't comment on that. I just bought the VTF-1 on a recent sale for $399 and it is plenty of sub for my 12x14x8 ft room that is open on one end. It sounds...

    WD Caviar Black Good for Raid0???

    In Sept did some extensive testing for work with two 1TB blacks and two 640GB blacks. My work was testing small scratch space areas across drives for performance to prove IT was clueless. This was connected to the onboard Intel ports on the Gigabyte EX58-UD4P ICH10R ports, Corei7 920 at stock...

    DDR2 667 and 800 MHz in same Machine ???

    I just worked on a Compaq laptop last night, one stick was 667 Micron and the other was 533 Samsung from the factory. Means it will all run at the slower speed, shouldn't matter much. Run memtest if in question, but it should NEVER "break" anything.

    Best sub $400 laptop deal

    I think carefully before buying that Compaq. Yesterday, I worked on a CQ50 for a friend that is just over a year old, hence just out of warranty, and it looks to be dead. Hard drive works and was virus scanned in a BlacX. I can get into the BIOS and see it ok so video seems to work. Once it...

    Looking for a 46"+ 1080P LCD/Plasma on the cheap

    which antenna to get for a HDTV

    Do some searching/reading and build your own antenna. There are schematics online. They work amazingly well, better than most you can buy I suspect.

    Recommend a new HDTV + Home Theater speakers. Budget: $2000

    I was walking around Walmart the other day and saw a 46" Panasoniic 1080p plasma for $698. They also had really cheap 720p Pioneer sets. A year ago I bought Panasonic 42" and 50" 720p sets for $498 and $798. I really like them. I can't comment on receiver and speakers since I'm currently...

    Horrible I/O performance on our servers

    I installed Win7 64bit, set up the 2 RAID0. Two of the older WD 640GB drives gets about 275MB/s reads and 220MB/s writes. The newer 2 WD 1TB drives gets 300MB/s reads and about 225MB/s writes. Both RAID0 are 128K stripes, 100GB total (50GB off each drive), writeback (?) option turned on...
