    Starting on May 15 200 GB Maxtor for $70

    Not all Maxtor HDDs with 16MB cache are "DiamondMax 10" HDDs. Maxtor also has a new HDD line called "Ultra16" with 16MB. The Maxtor Ultra16 with 250MB PATA is on sale this week at Staples B&M, I'm not sure about online though. No idea, how fast the "Ultra16" HDDs are compared to the "DiamondMax...

    Fry's: GQ 8x 50pk DVD-R Printable Free AR

    Don't feel sorry. You would have wasted your time there. I was one of the first 5 customers at Fry's Fountain Valley CA yesterday morning at 8:00 AM. Just try to grab a GQ 50pk DVD-R or DVD+R on the way to work. They didn't have that stuff in stock, also none of the FRY's in the surrounding...

    IT'S BACK! Athlon XP2400+ and ECS Motherboard for $59.99 at Fry's! Deal is over.

    I have the combo AMD XP 2400+ (Thornton boxed) with ECS from Fry's for a couple weeks now. I believe a Thornton CPU is actually a Barton with half of the cache (with 256KB instead of 512 KB) disabled from manufacturer for whatever reasons. I overclock it slightly in ASUS A7N8X, works great.

    Mushkin PC4000 512MB retail $119 @ Fry's

    I have 2 sticks of Kingston's HyperX PC4000 512MB, got from BB a couple months ago when they were on sale for $99 AR. The timing is also CAS3. Actually I haven't seen any PC4000 with timings < CAS3. Anybody knows why?

    Hitachi 250GB Deskstar $109.99 after MIR @ Frys

    I've been using HDDs from WD, Seagate, Maxtor, and IBM (now Hitachi) with capacity range from 40GB-200GB over the years. I know there was a lot of problems with IBM DeskStar series 75GXP (and also with the 60GXP, I think) that went public 2-3 years ago and I know a lot of you guys still stay...

    SB Audigy 2 ZS Lmtd. Edt. Gamers PCI Card with 5 games $98.99AR shipped

    Darkswordsman17: just cut the entire top portion of the box (this would include with the UPC code among other things) and mail to them following the rebatte instructions carefully. That's what I did a couple weeks ago. They've emailed me about 4 weeks later saying the rebatte had been approved...

    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Retail $267 shipped

    The other guy talked about $267 RETAIL price of the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, and you pointed him to $229 OEM price. That's not quite the same deal, isn't it?

    50 Memorex DVD-R or DVD+R $45+tax shipped!!

    I've tried with 3 DVD movie backup solutions: 321 Stusdio's DVD XCopy Xpress 3.0, Pinnacle Instant Copy 2.0, and DVD Shrink 2.3 To backup a DVD movie, the simplest solution is DVD XCopy Xpress (it's like two-click operations, put the original into the DVD drive, click Start, then wait until it...

    Some hot *DUAL* DVD writer deals: OptoRite for $148 shipped (even black), NEC for $146 shipped, Pioneer for $167 shipped

    I have both Pioneer DVR-105 and Optorite DD0203 with the latest firmware upgrade. So far I can tell, the Optorite seems to be more picky about the DVD media. I have to use more expensive DVD media (TDK DVD-R 2X, Verbatim DVD+R 4X) while I can throw any cheap DVD media at the DVR-105 (DVDPro...

    UPDATED WITH BLACK FACE PLATE AND LOWER PRICE HOT!!!Optorite0203 Dual DVD+/- drive

    Sorry for being off topics for this. Does anybody with the Optorite0203 Dual DVD burner manage to get some info about the HD-BURN (supposedly enable the drive to put 1.4 GB data on a regular 700 MB CD-R, albeit readabe only on the Optoride)? The installation CD that comes with the DVD burner...

    CompGeeks: MSI Ti4600 $139.00 Refurbed

    I do feel sorry for Ambrosius01 and Falconx80 that they got something DOA instead of a working MSI GF4 Ti4600. Everybody who has ordered this "Refurbed" card know the risk they're running into, and IT IS EXTREMELY RISKY because of the nature of the "Refurbed", i.e you ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET some...

    CompGeeks: MSI Ti4600 $139.00 Refurbed

    For someone who takled about frame rate 21fps in UT2k3. I've benchmark the UT2k3 with my non-overclocked MSI GF4 Ti4600 on a stock speed P4 2.4 with SOYO KT333 Ultra: 46 fps. Maybe your frame rate is with FSAA and everything else turned on to the max but for me it's OK 'cause at the speed of the...

    Fry's Socal Ads & Deals (5/21) *2400+ Combo $110*

    The Fry's combo deal includes a BARE XP 2400+ (supposedly T'Bred). It's not bad for 110 buck with ECS K7S5A though. You get the mobo almost for free. The only thing I don't like about this deal is I don't know what to do with the mobo. Right now, I have 2 K7S5A sitting around at home collecting...

    GeIL DDR RAM 512MB PC-3200 CAS 2.5 $72 shipped @ Newegg

    FYI, in teenage language (it becomes sort of generic for young people now), it also means "very cool", nothing "dirty" or "horny" at all, if you know what I mean.

    NEW GeForce4 Ti4600 - $179.99 shipped at Newegg

    As far as I know, all GF4 Ti4800 SE cards are actually GF4 Ti4400 with AGP 8X support instead of 4X of the older Ti4400. But for now, this is irrelevant in terms of gaming as the latest crop of 3D games still does not take advantage of the AGP 8X yet and I'm not sure when that will be (sure...

    Windows 2003 Server or Windows XP?

    Thanks again to Jliety, I was able to get Windows 2003 Server to work as a gaming workstation AND UT2003 is running super on the server. The final point is, Windows 2003 Server (I'm running RC2 now but I do believe the final release will behave the same) has BY DEFAULT Direct3D AND sound...

    Installing new mobo, getting error, very frsutrated, pleeease help! :)

    Trankuility, Turkey22 was right. If you want XP Home running with the new SOYO PX400 mobo, you've got to re-install XP Home from scratch, and of course, you also have to re-install all your apps. This is a completely new hardware and there is no way to transfer a plug-and-play OS like Windows...

    Windows 2003 Server or Windows XP?

    Thanks again jliechty. I followed the link and found a treasure of info related to Setup Windows 2003 Server as a workstation with DirectX9. I'll let you know whether it could help me fix the DirectX8 problem I've encountered in UT2003.

    Windows 2003 Server or Windows XP?

    Thanks a lot Jliety. It actually helps to enable Direct3D, but the game still doesn't run (UT2003 crashed with error message similar to "...No video found..."). DXDIAG test run of Direct3D revealed it has passed the test for DirectX7 with the spinning cube but failed in DirectX8 (test failed at...

    System spontaneously rebooting, helb

    Crispy86, most likely you got a bad 512MB DDR PC2700 memory stick. As far as I know, only 2 components of the system could trigger this kind of random system reboot: bad memory and bad mobo. Try replace that memory stick and see whether it'll go away. It' possible that PC games, which usually...

    Windows 2003 Server or Windows XP?

    ...or the key to server room. Not everybody can have access to the server rooms at will. So this eliminate the question of why do we have to justify a server reboot or shutdown. May be it's just for documentation purposes in the Event Viewer log?? That would help to narrow down the reason for...

    Windows 2003 Server or Windows XP?

    Yeah right. I have an entire HDD dedicated for it, why not. HDDs are plentiful now. If I don't like it, I'll reformate the HDD or replace with a different HDD with another OS on it. This way I can keep all of my OS installations separate and intact.

    Windows 2003 Server or Windows XP?

    MoonshineMadness, I'm not sure it's just my stuff or Microsoft has actually DISABLED Direct3D in the RC2 Windows 2003 .NET Server. Let me know how you sucessfully install Windows 2003 Server AND running UT2003. After I have sucessfully installed 2003 Server and UT2003, attempt to run the game...

    K7N2G-L CPU temps? Way to high? Windows XP install Probs! HELP!

    SaigonK, there is definitively something wrong with your mobo/CPU. Your AMD Athlon XP1800+ is getting too hot at 68C-70C CPU temperature, even with stock HSK and fan. As far as I remember (based on AMD product info), all AMD Athlon XP should be able to handle up to 85C. Still, we should never...

    Hyperx 512MB PC2700 back in stock at Newegg $75 shipped

    He guys. I think Googlegear web site has corrected the timing of the Kingston HyperX KHX2700/512 to 2-2-2-5-1 (CAS Latency 2), which means it's now the same timing listed by Newegg. Unfortunately, they've also raised the price to $74.50 so it's about the same price with Newegg.

    Sign up for Microsoft Windows 2003 Server RC2 for $3.95

    This is release RC2 (Release Cadidate 2). I think it should be much closer to the final release version than Beta. First they would release the Beta1, then Beta2, then eventually RC1, then RC2, may be RC3 before the final one. At least, I think that's the way Microsoft has been doing with...

    Sign up for Microsoft Windows 2003 Server RC2 for $3.95

    Why does it take my computer so long to boot up?

    Was your NIC trying to "talk" to somebody else in the network/workgroup? Is it a stand-alone computer or is it part of your network? If it is part of a network, your Win98SE computer is probably waiting for a time-out from the other computer after initiating the sequence, which is around 1-2...

    New hard drive... how do I get the data off of the old one?

    Gaidal, I have some kind of a naive question. Did you hook up your old HDD as slave drive (using jumper on HDD) while the new 120GB as master, I assume, to the primary controller of the mobo? or basically, did you change the jumper on the old HDD from master to slave when you hook up both HDDs...

    Computer Slows waaaaaaaay down... why?

    Hmmm... It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Did you check the HDD activity light on your computer? Is the LED light on while explorer.exe is sucking all the juice? If yes, we're still having hardware issues to resolve. Tell me a little bit more about your configuration. How many partitions...

    Computer Slows waaaaaaaay down... why?

    BTW, this does not sound like you're having RAM problems. Bad RAMs will cause your computer to freeze (locked up), nothing moves then, not even the "three finger salute" CTRL+ALT+DEL works. Only the hardware "Reset" button could unfreeze your computer.

    Computer Slows waaaaaaaay down... why?
