How to select a good DVD writer

As for media, I've been using FujiFilm DVD+R Media 16x, it burns real well no problems. If you have a BJ's price club near you, they have a great sale on them I just picked up some today. 50pk ($20 reg price minus $10 sale for today minus $5 rebate = 5.00 total price) not bad... good luck

I want to watch divx/xvid on commute - what should I get?

You can get a pocketpc PDA, I have a Dell x50v, that might be a little bit of your price range, I'm not sure if Dell still sells the x30 High, which also plays Divx videos as well. My new Toy (Treo650 PalmPDA/Phone) also plays divx videos as well, You will need a program called TCPMP, its free...

The X800XL and F.E.A.R.

Why don't you just download it and find out (its free). I tried it on my x800xl a while ago when I only had 1GB of RAM, there was a bit of stuttering but nothing much to affect the gameplay, I had most of the settings set on high at the time since it was my first time running the game. I have...

Motherboard or CPU Issue?

Actually Let me clarify my last post, It was the thermal compound that I took off, (it happened to be the same color of the heatsink). I decided against using it because it would be to risky so I ordered a new CPU fan and arctic silver 5.

Motherboard or CPU Issue?

I have been using a 3.2mhz processor and a P4C800-E deluxe mobo for about a year now, last night when I turned on my system It would boot up and shut right off, after the memory test completed. I tried the power button again, but the same thing continued, no warning or anything just shut off. So...

Yeah after reading up on the subject some more, I found that out. Maybe I should take out one of my 200gb drive and replace it with a raptor 74gb, will I see any performance increase with that? I will use the raptor for apps and os.

dell axim reboot??

Theres a small hole in the back of the unit, press it in with your stylus, to reset it, that will soft reset it, if you need to hard reset it, do the same thing while pressing and holding the power button.
