Best Mouse

If you're gaming, go with either an MS optical mouse or a Boomslang. They both have great accuracy, but some people don't like the Boomslang's feel. You'd want to try one out at a store or something before you bought it. There's a cure for optical mice's slow reflexes as some play, turn up the...

wretched computer.

Make sure you send it back to where you bought it from and get your money back. Retail boxes have 3 year warranties on them, and you do want about $200 back, don't you? :)

Burnt HL cd won't work, even with valid cd key

About a year ago, I got Half-Life. I played it for a while, and then stopped playing. I wanted to play again recently, so I was going to reinstall it. I couldn't find my HL cd, so I had a friend burn me a copy. I still have my original CD key, from a retail box in a store (I still have the...

Voodoo3 bottlenecked by PCI bus?

It's weird. In Q2, it seems I can never get over 120 fps. I do a benchmark in Q3A, I still get the same fps. Is this due to my V3 card being the PCI version? I've heard of people getting over 200 fps in Q2 on V3's with Athlons. If so, looks like I might have to go buy a GeForce 256 DDR :D

Asus K7V not fitting in Antec KS188!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, I'd have to say the other best Slot A board board is the ABIT KA7. If you want ATA100 support, get the ABIT KA7-100. If you have a lot of expansion cards, the 6 PCI slots will be better down the long run. Just personal preference, though. :)

Help! Having freezing problems with new Athlon 700.

Thanks for all your help guys! I finally got it working correctly, and I like it a lot better than my old p166 :) The thing that was messing it up was the Sound Blaster Pro Dos Emulation driver. I'm guessing my system didn't like it taking up an extra IRQ. So I got the new updated drivers...

Help! Having freezing problems with new Athlon 700.

I uninstalled the MX300 and it worked fine, I could load Q3 even! I'm thinking that it's freezing up because of the extra IRQ needed for the SB Pro Dos Emulation, so I'm trying to disable it. I tried removing it, windows redetected it, now I tried disabling it, and the whole sound card isn't...

Mouse starts FREAKING out in games... What's up!?!?! ;-)

The optical mice are cool, but sometimes they jump around. If your optical mice is jumping around, try different surfaces. Optical mice shouldn't be doing the random clicking though.
