Update...SUPER news...9 year old son Zachary released out of the hospital Wednesday.

It's a scary situation, but fortunately for you and him, it has a good prognosis and will likely clear up with time. I am finishing up my last year of medical school and one of the students a year below me had GB earlier this year. I really didn't know much about it until I talked to him. He...

Sharp HTCN300 DTS/Dolby Digital (5.1) Home Theater System with 6 speakers $128 +s/h maybe tax

I'm looking for a CHEAP 5.1 dolby digital solution for use with my Xbox in a smallish/medium size living room. When I say cheap, I mean it, so something like this looks appealing. I guess I could go up to $250 but would prefer to keep it at $150 or less. Here are the option I see right now...

Asus says that it supports 200/266 FSB, but I keep getting an error screen saying that the CPU speed isn't set right. What am I doing wrong? Any help appreciated. Thanks, JJ

Have a few questions about a system i am building.

I was just looking there and they also have a Toshiba DVD/CDRW combo with a black bezel. I know that it probably wouldn't be the best you could get at either function, but it would save you a slot and match a black case... Just another idea..

Unreal Tournament with no CD?

I seem to remember a utility that would let you play UT without having the CD inserted. Am I right or is this impossible? I loaded it on a system that I put together for my inlaws and then forgot to bring the CD with me, but I'd like to show it off to them. LMK if you can help. JJ

I agree with Luv2Chill on this one, and I think that we both agree that neither of you is at fault, but it's a misunderstanding. I didn't read in any of the messages where either party had said done deal. They were both going over conditions. Unless they both agreed to all the conditions...
