    Which Mobo is better??

    Well, i don't see why anyone would really need 4 Lan Ports. You could use a Hub on a decent broadband connection and you wouldn't have enough collisions that you would really notice a significant drop in speed. I think that the MAIN differance between the two is the FSB Speed. One has a Max of...

    NetBIOS

    NetBIOS is an old windows proprietary networking protocol. It's not routable, meaning that you wouldn't be able to use a router with it. Stick with TCP/IP. If you're making a home network without an internet connection, NetBIOS would be fine.

    Home network issue

    If your network does not include a shared internet connection, no. You won't need a router. In it's simplest form, what a router does is connect two different networks. If all of the nodes of your home network are all within the same Network and you don't need to access any other networks, like...

    well, i guess i did come off a little cocky on that one. I wasn't trying to be that way though. Sorry.

    Whta does dac type mean

    without actually being there to survey the situation, i would have to say yes, the thing is too big. I wouldn't start breaking stuff to make it fit. If it's too long, then you can't really do anything about it. it's just too long.

    Whta does dac type mean

    well, i did some checking. You don't have an AGP slot. You have a total of 4 Slots. One of them should be colored with a tab on the end. that's your PCI-E x16 Slot. You also have a X1 slot and 2 Regular PCI slots. Judging by what i've read about your Motherboard, I would say the problem your...

    a big oops on my part

    well, maybe you SHOULD connect the pc speaker this time. The beeps might actually tell you what's wrong.

    Whta does dac type mean

    well, the good new is that you PROBABLY don't have an AGP slot on an AM2 Motherboard. The bad news is that you probably WERE putting it in the right slot. By Specs what i meant was the Manufacturer and model number of your Motherboard. Did you buy the computer off the shelf? If you did...

    Whta does dac type mean

    alright, let's talk about AGP and 8800GTs. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) has been a dead technology for a number of years now. In fact, if you have an AGP Slot on your Motherboard, i would say that you have a bit more upgrading to do before you try to push that kind of Video Processing power...

    WD Raptor?

    while the 640GB drive is no doubt fast, the Velociraptor is the FASTEST SATA Drive in exsistance to date. Maximum PC Magazine seems to think so anyhow http://www.maximumpc.com/article/western_digital_velociraptor Here's another Review: http://www.storagereview.com/WD3000BLFS.sr The...

    upgrading a laptop processor

    I disagree. if the chip is socket P like the old one, it should PHYSICALLY fit into the socket. The problem would likely boil down to a BIOS Flash if one is available to offer support for that CPU. The FIRST place i would look would be the manufacturer's website.

    birthday upgrade

    You know? Your 6000+ is nothing to sneeze at. Why not get (2) 4850s and rock the house in Crossfire? You can overclock the 6000+.

    Need Help for Upgrading Old PC

    well, who says it's a hardware problem? Perhaps he has too many things running at once or he has alot of spyware/adware in the background. I say do a Spyware scan after updating the definition file of the scanning software. take a look at the taskbar on the machine and see how many Icons you see...

    need help

    well, the Zalman 9700 series is quite good, but if you're at 4Ghz, you may want to clock that down a bit. you might have a stability issue because of the extent of the overclock. That's kinda like building a 1000 HP engine and expecting too cool it with a Pinto Radiator. My suggestion is to...
