Hi.. Hope this question is clear and easy to answer.
I inherited a system. I know it is had a ECS K7S5A MB.. however I cannot fugure out which Athlon Processor I have.

When I do a reboot it shows the...

This is prety hot ~ Been looking at G3 for a long time.
I just searched the local stores using the on-line search. The CC closest to me shows 2 in stock. So I just bought one on-line (with in-store pickup).
It says if the in-store price is cheaper then I will get price adjustment. (if it is...
OD has the 40 GB onsale for $79.84 .. but with coupon and rebate it is HOT
I did this on-line (so the coupon would work)
then chose in-store pick-up !
Office Depot SKU 0368121
Maxtor 40GB Hard Drive 7200RPM
Price $79.84
Minus $15.00 ($15 off $75 coupon)
Minus $30.00 (Rebate from Maxtor)...
Yes it is hot!
They had these a week or so ago and they sold out.
IMO the 400Mhz is the best deal since it comes with the cradle ..
I don't think the 300MHz model comes with the cradle.
Which sell for about $30 alone .
Does anyone know if the warranty from Geeks is through Dell or from the Geeks
I think this is a hot deal $208 shipped. But was concerned about the warranty. 90 days is OK.. since I doubt the thing will have problems after initial break-in period. But I want it fixed by Dell not the computer...
Ok! I broke out the 'ol Visa and bought one of these!

From the article
The procedure is this: Shut down, install your new hardware, power on, and enter your system BIOS. Make sure your First Boot Device is set to CDROM. Insert the Windows 2000/XP setup CD and boot from...
Ok..now i am confused.
So when asked :
"do you want to repair the existing install or do you want to install fresh and erase the that files that are there"
I want to do yes to repair or yes to fresh install...

Well.. actually I am sure all me important files and such would fit on a CD-R.. then all my digital photos on another.
But I wanted to save myself the hassle of re-storing the whole drive/applications etc.
Thanks for the tips Mechbgon ...
Also I have a very easy question.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY (easiest) to back-up
my entire hard drive.. just in case.

Any advice.. is this a solid board... or are there better ones for the money. I am not over-clocking .. just using for my main rig for general purpose...

I bought an APEX 20" Mono sound TV for $99 a few days ago. They had them on sale at local Grocery Store. But I noticed the Apex has a nasty " hum " that is very annoying at night. The hum is loud so if the sound is low the noise is louder than the volume.
Needless to say I just...
Hi
I have a Radeon Le card that i just installed in my older 1000MHz AMD machine. Bummer... it did not come with driver (I run win 98 on this machine)
Please help ...
need driver and any info on installation. It should be easy.
Any advice
Yes this seems like the best approach... Send the $85 rebate in ASAP.
Then send the $50 in later on.... as the $50 rebate must be postmarked by November 13th.
Webley... that is the big question!
The 2 rebates go to same address in Miami Fl .. but to different dept #s ... the $50 goes to dept. 02-49109 and the $85 goes to 02-50541.
My fear is that I send in both and they deny the $85 and pay the $50
The rebate forms do clearly state "offer not...
Just picked one up.. sweeet looking! The monitor is nice and flat ... Very nice picture quality.
I especially like the black and gray exterior case color too! Nice change from the boring beige of most monitors.
All in all.. the price was $145.00 w/tax (used the $30 off of $150)
As for...

I've done many rebates in the past couple years... most come in reasonable time (6-10 weeks). But once in a while you get a bum-deal and they...
