    What is better AMD or Intel

    why do i feel like my opinion will have the effect of walking into a crowded bar and the record skips then everyone gets quiet.................... Intel does have a viable chip at this point, however, i'm sure you know where my alegence lies. If you want to run a Crossfire Setup with the...

    Hard drive keeps running

    When was the last time you scanned for Spyware and Viruses? Make sure you update your definition files first though. Sounds to me like your computer might be a Zombie or you may have a Rootkit problem.

    Resetting My Network Noob Style

    well, if that didn't do it, i'm outta material in my bag of tricks. I tried hard. with all that i've done, your computers SHOULD be able to see each other. i have no idea why they can't. Perhaps someone else could offer some advice. Maybe i'll learn from it as well.

    Upgrading RAM, need help...

    what I meant, was try it with THREE. this way we can isolate which stick specifically is malfunctioning. If you take two out and put two in, you just know that something might be wrong with the PAIR. if we can isolate it to one stick, we'll know for sure that the problem is with the memory it's...

    Upgrading RAM, need help...

    when you say identical, do you mean the same manufacturer or the same capacity, or both? It's possible that the new RAM is bad. i would say, leave the original pair in there and put one of the sticks from the new pair in. try it that way and see what happens. if it boots, take that one out and...

    Dell XPS 400 Motherboard replacement

    Your options are bleak. if you want to be choosy (and you should), BTX will not offer you much of what you're looking for. as much as it hurts, you should trash the old XPS case. I don't suggest you get another XPS though. you can build one on your own for half the price. Looks like you just...

    are you sure that she wasn't talking about ethernet. they look similar except that ethernet has a wider jack. i can assure you that you will not network computers using a standard phone cable. see if it plugs into a phone. if it does, you've got the wrong cable. if it's too big, you've got the...

    ATI 4870 and flashing the BIOS?

    I knew someone would say that. it's either.

    ATI 4870 and flashing the BIOS?

    I think you've got a few things confused. If you have a PCI-E Slot, you can just install the card. You don't need to flash your BIOS. You will, However, Have to install the video card drivers. Your BIOS (Binary Input/Output System) is a chip that controls your hardware configuration. It's...

    Need help with power problem with Dell computer

    well, in addition to it being wet like that, being a Dell doesn't help it much either. when you decide that you want to give up on the Dell (you should), build your own computer and tell those after market companies to take a hike. The only reason anyone thinks Dell is any good is because they...

    Thermal Grease - vital or not?

    if you took two pieces of metal and lapped them completely smooth, they would stick together on their own without any assistance. the hard part is getting them that smooth. Lapping comes to mind. (BTW, I'm a Machinist with the US Army)

    Ok, noob here needs help. Blank screen + No beeps

    Did you correctly apply thermal compound to the CPU, or did you just use what was on the Heatsink that came with it? Did you remove the plastic covering of the heatsink's surface before you installed it? You haven't reused the old thermal compound have you? Have you connected ALL of the wires to...

    Okay, I'm going AM2.

    You don't have to buy 1066 just because the write up says 1066. That's the max that board can handle. your 800 should work just fine. It's like saying that Windows XP 32 bit HAS to have 4 GB of RAM because that's the max. 2GB would work just fine
