Free Pledge of Allegiance Bumper Sticker

Yeah, but it's not a Pledge of Allegiance bumper sticker, it's a religious bumper sticker. Big difference.

AMD CPU Price slashs

If I were building a brand new rig, I'd agree with you. Since I already 2 GB of DDR1 RAM, a nice motherboard, etc, I think I'm just going to do the CPU upgrade. I think that's what AMD is counting on as opposed to people building new rigs. $224 for an X2 4600+ is a much better deal than a...

GoGamer 48-hour Madness: City of Villains $19.90, AvP Gold $3.90, Deus Ex Invisible War $5.90

I might get in on the CoV deal. I've been thinking about reupping my CoH account, and the $19.90 is only $5 more expensive than a month of CoH and I get all of CoV plus the free month, too. http://www.gogamer.com

New CMOS batteries lasting a little more than a week

Not a bad idea. I'll have to take it out, anyway, and since I'll have a working system it won't matter that much.

New CMOS batteries lasting a little more than a week

I bought a new one. I wasn't willing to wait for the 4-week turnaround time with MSI again and risk getting another bad board. I ended up going with an Abit KN8-SLI, which I like the design of better because it uses a heatpipe cooler for the chipset instead of a fan, which slightly lessens the...

New CMOS batteries lasting a little more than a week

Agreed. I'm on the latest BIOS revision as it is, but the damning indicator for me was the year in the time/date part of the BIOS jumping around on its own...in my experience, if you're having trouble with BIOS locking up or whatnot, you've got some serious hardware problems somewhere.

New CMOS batteries lasting a little more than a week

No, that's not the case. The MSI board I currently have has a button rather than a jumper that clears the CMOS so there's no chance of a jumper causing the trouble. Besides that, I've never heard of a system not booting with a drained CMOS battery. They've always turned on for me, but the...

New CMOS batteries lasting a little more than a week

When I first started researching the problem, I Googled for generic terms but not my specific model. At this point, I'm not sure if it would have made a difference. I think I'd prefer to just get a whole new board than wait another four weeks for a replacement for them.

New CMOS batteries lasting a little more than a week

Sadly, I've done that twice already. I'm on my third MSI K8N Neo4-Platinum, courtesy of MSI. I had an unrelated problem lat e last year that made me return the board I originally bought for replacement, and when the "new" board came back I had a different problem, so I returned that one, too...

New CMOS batteries lasting a little more than a week

Well, I decided to kill two birds with one stone. You guys couldn't agree on which is more likely to be causing the problem, so I just went ahead and ordered a new MB and a new power supply. I picked an Abit KN8-SLI motherboard and an Antec 400W power supply, so if that doesn't solve my...

New CMOS batteries lasting a little more than a week

Well here's a twist to the story that I forgot to add. When the system enters the state in which a new CMOS battery fixes it, reseting the CMOS via the jumper (rather, a button on the MSI board) does little to fix the problem, and 9 times out of 10 the system will power on when I plug it back...

New CMOS batteries lasting a little more than a week

I've been using DreamHost for a year now, and I've been very happy with my service. The only outage I've had with them is when the power went out in LA for a day, and their building had two or three of their generators fail (a building issue, not them). Otherwise, they've been extremely...

TRENDnet 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter $8.98AR

can you use pc2100 and pc3200 together in a motherboard?

If your CPU runs at the 133/266 FSB, then sure, it's OK. But if your CPU runs faster than that, the PC2100 won't work.

Athlon Thunderbird -> Palomino/Tbred - Requires windows reinstall?

If it boots into Windows just fine, then you shouldn't have to reinstall. I've had some funky issues in the past with Windows replacing a CPU, so I usually take the opportunity to do a system reinstall, but your experience may be different than my own.
