HP L2335 or BenQ FP222W

I can get the HP 23" (open box) for about $500 shipped, or the BenQ 22" for $350 shipped I'm leaning towards the BenQ, but I have read many good things about the HP.....and it isn't that much more expensive. Is it worth the extra money for the resolution and panel construction of the HP...

Need O/C Mobo for P4 3.06 HT (northwood) that will positively lock the PCI bus @ 133.

So, what's the right board for me? From the research I've done, the Abit IC7-G looks like it might be the right one, but I've not been able to find confirmation of the PCI bus being locked at 133. Anybody have first hand knowledge of this? Thanks in advance.

Problems with new XFX GF 6600 GT Card

Yeah, you got screwed.... There are thousands of happy XFX 6600 AGP card owners out here......but you got screwed. WTF? Sometimes even a new $50,000 car has problems, don't they? It's a great card, ask anybody who has one that worked out of the box.

XFX 6600GT Running Too Hot?

I run my XFX at 562/1.13 The ambient is 42c The idle is 51c I've never seen it higher than 70c, after hours of play. The default core slowdown threshold is 127c, so what's the problem with temps in the 60's?

Which 6600GT AGP Model to Get?

I have the FXF card. I just played about 4 hours of HL2, and not a single problem. It's clocked from the factory at 500/1000. No artifacts, no overheating......just lots of game play.

Moving XP to new motherboard, in place upgrade (repair install) not working.

It's probably a different IDE controller on that new PC. Did you use the Microsoft "Sysprep" software on the drive first? If not, go back to the original drive, and run the software first, before Ghosting. It resets the HAL so that Windows will find the new hardware, on the new PC.

Will MS ever add tabbed browsing to Internet Explorer

I still don't get it. I have 15 IE windows open now, and they are all stacked nice and neat in one tray button. If I want to go to a different window, I just hover over the button, it expands, and I select the window I want. Is this different then selecting a tab to click on?

WindowsXP on one drive, Apps on another.

Ok, but any Apps you installed after you ghosted the C:\ to D:\ will have to be reinstalled, right. That's what I was trying to get away from. Every time I reformat and do a clean install, it takes me many hours/days to get all my Apps back on, never mind all the time it takes to dig out those...

WindowsXP on one drive, Apps on another.

When you Ghost C:\ to D:\ doesn't it overwrite the stuff on D:\ ? If not, do you then boot from the D:\ drive? Do you need to make it (D:\) the C:\ drive first, via a cable swap?

Yes, that's the one I was considering as an upgrade to this 2.66 (533) Northwood. Is that going to perform better than what I have now? What about the 3.06 (533) talked about above?

what is the diff between the Sony DRU510A and the DRU500AX

There are three differences in these drives, but I wonder if the 500AX can be updated with firmware to match the 510A? 1.) {Write DVD+RW} 4X vs. 2.4X 2.) {Read DVD-ROM} 12X vs. 8X 3.) {Write CD-RW} 16X vs. 10X See the comparison here..............510A vs. 500AX
