    Audio reverb/echo problem, IBM ThinkCenter 8808-8HU

    Nevermind. Thanks for reading. Re-downloaded the driver from Lenovo's web site. Disabled the anti-virus. Went to the directory where the setup executable was instead of updating the inf through the device manager. The setup executable first uninstalled the old driver (was the same version...

    Audio reverb/echo problem, IBM ThinkCenter 8808-8HU

    I've had this problem before, but this evening, I'm burned out and I can't figure out how to fix it. There's a junk echo/reverb problem with the Windows sound (but not when you play a video) on the two used computer systems I purchased today. I did a clean install on them. I used the driver...

    Thanks, but I wasn't asking for help. With Paypal's fees, I would eat a good chunk of my little profit (10%). Credit cards? Already maxed. What I really need is a rich dying uncle or a winning lotery ticket (and I don't buy lottery tickets). I make ok money with services, but I need to sell...

    I need to find a dying rich uncle who likes me. I sold a 2000$ computer to a financial analyst, but I don't have enough money to buy the parts. The first of the month is coming fast and other payments too. And a guy who owes me 3000$ is about to commit suicide (if he hasn't already) instead...

    No full scale AT-AT because of Lucasfilm copyrights.

    The secret police can come and interogate me if they want to. They'll see I have nothing here to build a full scale AT-AT. Even if I melt all the old enclosures I have, I wouldn't have enough metal to assemble a toe of the AT-AT.

    Source IMO, they should build it anyway and blow up Lucasfilm's headquarters with it afterward.

    Low power file server platform?

    The article and Asus P8B-M and P8B-X. After browsing through the specifications, I think you should omit the P8B-X since it has no SATA 6Gbps and only two PCI-E 1X slots / 1 PCI-E 4X slot.

    Radeon HD 6570 and 6670 on my price list.

    I can sell (again) cards that haven't been officially released yet. Those are the GigaByte GV-R667OC-1GI and GV-R657OC-1GI. According to what I've found on the Net, the Radeon HD 6670 and 6570 are supposed to be OEM only. The specifications are very close to those of the old Radeon HD 5670...

    Low power file server platform?

    You should take a look at the i3 2100/2120. They are very low power. In fact, I read an article this morning showing that their idle power (when put on an H67 mini-ITX motherboard) is lesser than the one from an Atom+Nvidia ION platform. Less than 10W versus ~16W. It's also several orders of...

    According to Grandpa, one of the top-100 producer and member of Stanford's forum, an overclocked i7 970 does ~63000ppd. 155000ppd must be a fluke. If it isn't, even if I'm broke, I'll buy one because I have all the other components to build a system around it. But it is a fluke.

    question Transcend 16gb & 8gb pata ssd works great for my Thinkpad!

    You can easily fit Windows XP inside 8GB. Not Vista or 7, but since we're talking about a T42, then it came with an XP sticker. You'd have to turn off the system restore and clean your temporary files often, like after every WindowsUpdate run, but you can certainly operate XP on an 8GB drive...
