    If Apple computers cost the same as PCs, would you buy one instead?

    If you need a DVD burner, portability and can get a student discount, the 12" PB is a no brainer. You have to go with a 14" iBook to get the superdrive and after adding Airport Extreme and Bluetooth, you'll end up less than $100 within the PB's price and a 25% slower cpu and 33% less hard drive...

    NEC FP2141SB-BK and Mitsu 2070SB-BK

    Dell is a good place to buy monitors from. I just picked up a 930SB from them. Unfortunately, the convergence couldn't be calibrated across the whole screen and there was a speck of dirt on the inside of the glass which I noticed on white backgrounds. I filled out an online form for an RMA...

    Need help with Sony CRT (model - G520 )

    Try different outlets to see if it's just drawing too much power for that particular one.

    lots of apple haters. where're the sun haters?

    Keep in mind MACs are more expensive at first but in the long run not as much. They don't go obsolete in 6 months. In fact, I know people who have MACs that are 4-5 yrs old and still able to run the latest OSX pretty well. A PC would probably need major overhauling to run the next edition of...

    That's what I did and the speed of burning from one cd to another more than doubled. Thanks.

    2 CDRW drives

    I was wondering what the best way to set this up is. Currently they are on the same cable, one master, one slave. I plan on doing a lot of CD copying (one drive to the other). Should I have these on seperate cables for faster performance or does it matter?

    DEAL DEAD: Hotter than a microwave tower: Target Microsoft wireless bundles $79.99 after M$ MIR (Retail$200+)

    Thx for the info. But I dont' have a Linksys at home this would just be for when I bring my laptop home to work from there and would need VPN connectivity. I believe it needs IPSec passthru, not sure what else.

    DEAL DEAD: Hotter than a microwave tower: Target Microsoft wireless bundles $79.99 after M$ MIR (Retail$200+)

    Anyone know if VPN works through these routers? We've tested a few wireless with our VPN and only the Linksys seems to work consistently.

    WD 'SE' , Maxtor 'ball baring' , Seagate 'IV'

    I have both the WD SE 80gb and Cuda IV 60gb and the WD sounds like a friggen sawmill compared to the Cuda, yet it is quieter than the Maxtor 'fluid bearing' drive I had in there not too long ago.

    Wow! Cheap Car insurance

    Insurance companies suck hard. I dare to make a comp claim that they had to pay $700 for and then my rates go up almost $40 a month as a result. Why bother reporting claims. I'm 29, have 1 speeding ticket over 2 yrs ago and the one small claim and I have a tough time finding a premium for...

    HOT:Awesome Harman/Kardon HK695 Speakers and Sub worth $169 for $41

    I gots these. They are very nice sounding speakers for the price. I paid about $80 for mine a while back and can't complain. Doubt you'll find any other speakers this price range that sound as nice.

    need help w/ new PC

    I agree about the ram. Also, the WD Hard Drive is too expensive. You can get the SE version of that drive at Newegg for considerably less.

    New hard drive is way too slow

    That Intel Application Accelerator made my Sandra HD benchmark score drop considerably for some reason. I thought uninstalling it put the score back where it should be but I can't quite remember.

    Do I need to format after changing motherboards?

    Every single time I've changed motherboards or even controller cards, I've had to reformat or at least reinstall Windows. Otherwise, it wouldn't even boot up. That only applies to Win2k or WinXP though.

    P4 Overclocking, AGP / PCI dividers still being used?

    My experience with my Asus P4B266-C board was that it locked the pci/agp up to 133 bus, then increments from there brought them out of spec. Problem is as soon as you hit 133 bus the memory multiplier gets stuck at 1:1 so the memory will stay at 133. So of course if you run at 132 and set...

    Why 1280x1024?

    If you're gonna be running out of native resolution and notice the difference between 4:3 and 5:4 as well, I guess you're best off avoiding a 1280x1024 lcd, but 1600x1200 are much fewer and more expensive. The planar 17" ones are 5:4, more square.

    The other great thing about a Geforce4

    Icons missing in WinXP

    XBox vs PS2 (Gamecube NOT an option)

    I agree with X14. PC games get better because of hardware. Console games evolve on each console because the programming gets better. And they aren't as riddled with bugs as pc games tend to be requiring patch upon patch upon patch. Also, the developer can take full advantage of the hardware...

    New Monitor / Refresh Rate / Fuzzy Text / Help!

    Not familiar with Enlight. Haven't used it in awhile since I haven't owned an nvidia card in a while, so I don't know of a link offhand. Try doing a search for 'refresh rate' on this forum and some of those threads should have links in them.

    New Monitor / Refresh Rate / Fuzzy Text / Help!

    The Nvidia refresh rate fix program will work for Nvidia cards. As for the fuzzy text, not sure how much fuzzier it looks but almost every monitor I've ever used has the crispest text at 60hz and the higher I jacked up the vertical refresh, the fuzzier the text got, even though it was still...

    Ace's P4 Platform Comparision is up!

    huh? The 3:4 ratio is system bus:memory not memory:system bus. It's there so the in spec 100mhz system bus will still run the RAM at 133. For my Asus p4b266 I increased my 3dmark2001 score by 350 points lowering the system bus 133 to 132 and changing the cpu:memory ratio from 1:1 to 3:4...

    quick question for seagate barracuda iv owners

    If you're talking about a distant whining type noise, then that's something that some barracuda iv owners have. Some notice it, some don't. There were a number of Seagate drives out there that had some algorithm enabled by default which caused the drive to periodically do something that made...

    Antec KS282 anyone? (Best Buy)

    I've had both the KS282 and the SX635. The 635 was actually smaller but had more fan mounts. 2 in front, 1 in the rear, and the PSU had 2 fans also. It's not exactly the quietest case, though. The only fans I have is a panaflo on a PAL8045 and the video card fan, aside from the PSU. I'm picky.

    Give me all of your opinions about the Planar 17.4" PV174 monitor

    When I said 2D I was mainly referring to IQ of web and office apps, not animation. I only play 3d games and don't watch DVD's so those weren't an issue. Also remember people differ in how noticeable ghosting is. I'm probably pickier than most. There are people with 50ms that swear they don't...

    Give me all of your opinions about the Planar 17.4" PV174 monitor

    Wait until Eviscerate comes around as he shares the same opinion I do on the Planar models. They look quite good in 2D, but ghost noticably in 3D.

    Best Keyboard - specific requirements

    The IBM Active Response keyboard is relatively quiet and no J-shaped enter key. It does have the indented CAPS lock but I don't know of any decent keyboard without that.

    Sony G520 vs Samsung 1200nf

    Isn't the 121 and 130 the horizontal range in kHz? This would make a difference in the capabilities of the max rez/refresh rates. Still, I think either one of these monitors is a winner.

    ViewSonic ViewBox VB50HRTV TV Tuner Box for Monitor 89.99 shipped from amazon.

    So for example, would the image quality of a Playstation2 look better on one of these hooked to a 21" monitor or still look better hooked to a Sony 27" WEGA TV? This is the choice I am faced with now. ;)

    19" flat monitor with a small footprint?

    I wouldn't worry too much about a 350 brightness. LCD's are too damn bright as it is and I find myself turning it down anyway. Consider CRT's still have 100-200 brightness, it's not important. Contrast ratio is important, however. 25ms total response is great for many people, but still not...

    Need opinions on keyboards

    Gray/Silver might be tough but finding a black keyboard shouldn't be tough and that'll match much better than a beige keyboard anyway. ;)
