What MODEM do you recommend?

Is this troll bate or what? There is no reason to change from ISA to PCI or v.90 to v.92 when you are talking about modems. Changing from ISA to PCI will not increace the speed of your modem connection. There is no reason to change from v.90 to v.92. Most ISPs are using v.90 and will continue...

Stupid Newbie DVD question

No! You do not need it as stated above. Most DVD movie you put in your PC-DVD will ask you to install some type of 3rd party DVD player software that you do not need. If you have an ATi video card you should have their DVD player installed. If you have an older ATi video card, you may still be...

Comment on this BS on Sharky Extreme!

CPU failure is not very common. The only real logic behind fearing a recommendation of AMD is that the upper management over the IT sees more Intel commercials than AMD. If management fires someone for making an honest recommendation, then they are stupid. Sharky Extreme, that was a stupid...
