    JTM's i5 Build Preview

    From what I've read the 6870 performs a little lower than the 5870 stock. I'm most likely not going to Crossfire in the near future so I think the 5870 would be a better fit. I have heard that the 6870's Crossfire really well though.

    network administrator vs system administrator

    That would be fine and dandy if that was your only job. However, someone who works in a network department deals with far more issues than that.

    Cables

    It all depends, OEM items most likely will not. The item description should tell you whether or not they are included.

    network administrator vs system administrator

    That seems like an incorrect statement. If you're working for a tiny company, then yes networking would be easier. However, most companies (200+ Client PC's) have huge networks. Such an example are retail stores, big or small. Sure their headquarters may have 200 client PC's, but the whole...

    is this a good laptop?

    Need a laptop for business school!

    There is a big difference in quality going from a Dell to a IBM. The build quality is far superior on the IBM.

    Need a laptop for business school!

    That's why you buy the 6-cell. I have never had any issues with an IBM, nor do I know anyone who has.

    Need a laptop for business school!

    If you're looking for a true business class computer I'd go with IBM/Lenovo. You're gonna get a nice looking laptop that is powerful, durable, and all around perfect for most applications for a business student.

    Good Games For Bad Computer

    For the laptop I would check out games like Diablo, StarCraft (originals), Pop Cap games like Plants vs. Zombies and so forth. For the Wii I would recommend the new Super Mario Galaxies or Metroid Prime!

    What happens if you break a part from newegg?

    It's like everything you purchase, if you break it, it's yours. Why should Newegg or any company take the hit for that?

    Dell vs. iMac

    If the OP is using the PC for video/photo editing, I would go with the iMac. The LED screen will make things more enjoyable. And the 4850 can play most games out there nicely.

    Cooling Problem?

    Sorry about the confusion. Here's my way of putting on the thermal paste. Put a small bead of paste on the CPU itself. Take a credit card type squeegee and spread it evenly on the chip. When finished there should be a thin layer of paste, not chunky or choppy.

    Cooling Problem?

    When you put on that heatsink did you apply your aftermarket thermal paste or did the heatsink have a patch of paste already on it?

    2 laptops, 1 no conection

    Re-connect the laptop to the wireless internet, these things happen once in a while. If this issue continues, update your NIC drivers.

    Hooking up router turns off my cable tv!

    So I just re-read this again, and it seems like the new surge protector acts as a switch? So you're bypassing the router when you set this up with the new surge protector?

    Hooking up router turns off my cable tv!
