Thanks to all here, my SO now has a nice Athlon 3000+. I've taken the long lived, Dell P2 400 mhz, and, I've kept it around, trying to figure out, what I sort of know already, that the software she is using made her computer so slow, it was no longer useable. I looked at task manager, and...

I had to post something on this. I've got both XL700 and XL800 at home, in two different boxes, and, the P650 at work. I'm using the same Sony monitors with each, and, everytime I turn on the box at work, with the Matrox P650 at work, I'm amazed at the difference in clarity, and, the relative...

Hi I went over to the NEC 3520 burners, two in each machine, and, I thought I would go over my general impressions, aside from the usual review type stuff. The Sony had pretty much determined how I ripped stuff around here. Since I use my extensive DVD library at school, I was not about to...

Hi Thanks to Mercutio, I traded in my single Sony burner for a couple NEC 3520's. They seem to burn Memorex DVD-R's that my sony wouldn't, and overall seem to be much more media forgiving. What are your favorite single layer DVD-R disks for the NEC burners? Thanks s

Hi Anyone know if Nero copies in 'raw mode'? Are you better off using Roxio using 'raw mode' then Nero, for tough to copy disks? Keep in mind, these are cd's, and DVD's, that I legally own, and I'm trying to make a legal copy to protect the original. Thanks gs

Hi I haven't had much luck with software firewalls, except, so far, XP. I was wondering how one would go about setting up a hardware firewall? My current setup is a fixed IEP ADSL, into an Alcatel modem, and then to a router. From the router, we go to a nice switch, and then to any number of...

Well, my little girl is 1/2 feral, and, she's NOT your normal cat. I have pics of her jumping straight up, oh about door handle height plus a foot, turning 180 in the air, using tail, and taking off chasing a fake mouse. She also does things like jump over 6' from the ground, to my shower top...

Well, this cheap computer is turning into a money hole. The GA-K8NSC-939 Gigabyte board came with a dead ATA channel. So, it's going back. In the meantime, I bought a K8nS Ultra "Limited Edition", and put the 3000 processor on that, with the Swifttech heat sink, and vantec fan. 1 gig ram...

I bought the current version of Trend P and, I first installed it on a Panasonic CF-37, with 192 mb of ram, and 366 mhz processor, windows 2000. First off, when email comes in, it totally eats the processor, making any other kind of work out of the question. It also takes a LONG time to get...

Well, Friday my raid crashed, and the computer wouldn't get past starting with user, without freezing. I assumed it was a dead drive, pulled my 4 drive array, and took the machine into my favorite shop. Could have been my subscription to Trendmicro, but, I decided to move that, and email, to a...
