My 6/12 order now shows shipped and since I ordered on Friday afternoon that's really only 2 business days which is within the period Buydig says they "usually" ship. So no problems with Buydig's responsiveness at this point. Guess I've been spoiled by Newegg and the like :o As far as how...

*** The ULTIMATE Motherboard Selection Guide For New Users ***

I'm curious what you consider a better alternative to the MSI-Neo4-F? I chose it over other NF4 options due to low price ($85 from Newegg) and not wanting to pay extra for SLI or SATA II when I'm unlikely to ever use them. I figure by the time my needs have evolved beyond SATA and a single...

How long do monitors last?

CRTs will get dimmer as time goes on for a variety of reasons. How fast depends on how high you set the brightness, how long they are on every day, ambient temperature etc. They can certainly last decades but they won't be as bright as they were new. LCDs could last indefinitely (or at...

Pure Water

You don't measure the "resistance" of water you measure the "resistivity". Resistivity takes into account how much distance the electrons travel and how much cross sectional area they have to travel in. The units are Ohms * meters^2(cross sectional area) / meters(length). If you divide out...

CD/DVD recording 'area' and custom DVD players

Kartman, I thought the old laser disc technology was digital but I can't find any handy references. I agree that it would probably be trivial to design a large format CDR or DVD-R and simply increase capacity by increasing the area as opposed to the areal denisty. A 16.25 cm (6.5") disc...

I've installed Win98 SE from CD with two HDDs before and not had a problem so it's possible that in this case the fault does not lay with Microsoft (much as it pains me to acknowledge this :P). Or it could be that the default IDE drivers don't play nice with your motherboard or BIOS. Given...

Re-writeable discs- what is the Chemical/physical property that makes a disc CD-RW in contrast to CD-R?
