I just wasted 3 hours on Vista Home, trying to do the most basic connection to a wireless network. Don't know if it's hardware, or software, but, I'm done with both Vista and Dells... Windows 7 is very fast, on a 4200 rpm drive, on my Panasonic CF 51. As I said in another thread, the true...

I love Dell. I just looked at their website, and, getting XP Pro, what, a 10 year old OS, is 150 dollar charge over and above Vista... How would I know if the drivers were even going to work with XP? My answer is either get rid of it, or, I wonder if the Windows 7 Beta would work on it????

Handruin: This is an incredible POS for a computer. I feel like shooting it. I can't get the simplest functions to work, like connecting to the internet... It totally deserves the comments above, and, I'd never have bought this POS for anyone but a serious enemy...

SO got a Dell Inspirion for a birthday present. How do I make Vista work like XP? She can barely get around XP, much less Vista...

August, but, it's supposed to be registered in 30 days...

I've got this up and running, and, it's the fastest OS I've ever had on this machine, despite the 4200 rpm drive. Everything is actually using and working in RAM. It's making me seriously think about converting my XP DISK OVER and, so far, everything seems to work, just fine. I wish XP would get...

Blinding on this machine, despite the speed test giving it a 1.0. It appears the internet connection is, even though it says wireless, functioning through the ethernet cable I have connected. Getting over 12 MB/SEC, the down to about 8. That's as fast as my desktop. Oddly, the connection...

I'm installing it on my Panasonic Laptop spare drive. Appears to have a couple driver issues, not shocking. It started fine, and the net was working, then installed some updates, and the net connection quit working. Maybe an issue with my router... We'll see. My general feeling is similar...

Whoops;-) My bad.

David: two strokes mix oil in to the gas to lubricate the engine. No oil, no smell, burnt out engine. See if you can move the compressor, and use a long hose, to somewhere that is outside your nose.... It could also be an exhaust leak. Make sure the compressor has a really good, sealed exhaust...

By a newer copy of WPerfect, like WP 12, cheap. From my copy, it appears to be able to open back to Word Perfect 4.2, and, it can then save as Ms word 97/2003.

Thanks I got it. Using the iPod link is a bit counter intuitive for me who hates most all things Mac...

How do you get that to work with 2003 Server?

That's kind of what I thought. I have a home theatre setup already, all Klipsch, and it rocks. That said, that setup, for the money, looks pretty amazing. I've got a nice set of Yamaha speakers that I had been using for my SO's radio, but, she never used it, since for some reason, I've never...

Thank you for the information. Didn't realize the chipset worked so well for HTsystems. How do you take standard stereo speakers and wire them to a computer, and, if you do, is the output enough to power the speakers? I've got a couple Yamaha speakers sitting around, and, they have the...

Now, on a serious note: I'm not really thinking onboard video, or audio are a great thing. Learned that lesson when my current onboard sound out got bent by my 14 pound cat wrenching on the wires a bit. Now, the speaker jacks have to be inserted just right, or, I loose two speakers, and, the...

What component combinations would you consider for a Home Theatre computer, ONLY a home theatre computer????

"Greg, Panasonic is ~100 billion dollar group of Japanese companies and Samsung is ~174 billion dollar Korean company. Neither are likely to go out of business before your warranty expires. Are you talking about my personal warranty on life, or a computer OS?

Panasonic had stuff in Hawaii in the 90's in Japan that was only a wetdream over here. The advantage of the Japanese business model is they tend to look at profits on a decade basis, not a 1/4 year. Steve Jobs resurrection of Apple means he manages to snake oil people into thinking his...

It looks like the Intel SATA SSD's are coming of age. So, I guess that means I need to buy a Panasonic notebook that has SATA capability. Any suggestions? CF 52?

Panasonic=Samsung? Owned by now?

HMMM. Looks like I better start looking at Costco... What's Panasonics warranty?

2003 Web edition supports 4 processor, or at least two, plus two hyperthreaded. Is it possible to use 2003 Webedition on a machine with two dual core processors, or quadcores?

I was looking at this Panasonic in particular. Liked the price break: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889187081 Thoughts?

Hi all OK I'm trying to figure out what LCD monitor to buy to upgrade from my Panasonic 32" tv, with S video in. Now, I'm looking for an LCD, a bit bigger, with HDMI and Svideo input. Any suggestions? Which Samsung, or panasonic?

I never thought of Mercutio as a happy person... Now, that said, Anyone tried: Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition?

HI I have a bunch of forms that are PDF's, and, I'd like to be able to use a computer to fill them out, rather then my horrible handwriting. Does anyone have a PDF program that allows you: copy an original then fill in the original, or edit it, then save the copy, and print it? Something that...

I just bought a 640 gig Seagate drive with 5 year warranty. It does over 100 mb/sec data transfer, and, so far, the reviews have been very good on reliability. That said, I noticed Newegg had a NOT of bad things said about Seagate 7200 rpm drives, and, shopped carefully.

I have a problem with this post. From this list, I see TWO, TWO drives that have had reduced warranty.

Thanks for the help. Turned out it was the face plate causing the floppy to bind and not load. Pulled the floppy out, and, as long as the floppy drive has no label, it works fine. Installed Fujitsu MAT refurb 10k, 110 dollars, 147 gigs. Hypermicro advertized the drives as 15k's, and, then would...

Hi I'm using an LSI 120320 card, and a 10k 147 GB drive. I can't get the floppy drive to accept a disk. So, how can I install XP w/o a floppy drive to send the windows installer to, to install the driver for the LSI card??? Anyway to do this? Thanks GS

Despite IRS incentive, I think this one might be good to wait a year?

OHHHH, the pain.... I've been waiting SOOOOO long for one that would have decent, or even, doable capacity. 32 gb is just barely enough for this machine. So, fill me in. What interface? Is it really 4 times faster, in most functions? My current dual cheetah, raid O, under HD tune does...

Hi David P160. It's actually a caddy for a removeable Sata, just like the one above it. They have little blue tabs limiting the reward travel of the drives on the ones above it. Thanks Greg

Hi David I'm trying to install another drive in the computer you built me. I'm missing some kind of clips that hold the drive in place for the last drive bay. Looks like a blue, screw in piece to hold the drive in place. Do you have a couple more? Thanks greg

Might have a look at Panasonic. If you do a bit of a search, they have dropped a ton in price, and, there are some great deals slightly used.

Hi David It was the second. Ordered one tonight. I'm going to open a second amendment law firm, and, I need a server, web page, etc. that consumes little power, but is plenty fast. Can we talk? Do you have my cell? Regular phone is changed. Thanks S

Anyone have a link to that newegg.com power tester? Time to get one. Thanks S

HMMMM. NOW I'm supposed to listen to an orange semi human.... Seems to me the cat already runs the house: bowling ball, 15 pounds, with claws and teeth...

Hi Pradeep Can't figure out if the 1650 AGP would work with Blue Ray. I can't really see trashing my dual Xeon rig just for a different video card setup, at this point. Nvidia maybe in the future...Plus, I like the 3540 dual burners I have. Guess I could try an external, USB 2.0 Bluray...

BR Lite On reader now 99 bucks...

"You know what's really weird, is school has an internet connection that is 25 ms ping, and 25 mb/sec. Yes, that's not a typo. 25 mb/sec. " OK. Not a typo just inaccurate. 25ms and 25 MB/sec.

Pulling a sysco switch out of the system seems to have cut the ping time in half. You know what's really weird, is school has an internet connection that is 25 ms ping, and 25 mb/sec. Yes, that's not a typo. 25 mb/sec. WTF?????? Also, since the modem has a firewall, I turned off Windows...

Hi I recently upgraded to cable 5.8 mb/sec, sometimes. Astound. What I've found is that for some reason, NOD 32 is slowing my uploads down. I put it on pretty much max protection settings, and, it was a notice able difference from default settings. Currently running Default, and, it seems to...

Installed the Linksys stuff. About 500k faster then the Surfboard Modem, and, the router/switch allows full speed to the computers, which is about 5.9 mb/sec, at best. At worst, instead of getting 700k, I'm getting 1.5 MB/sec. I wonder what they are going to do with the phones. The wiring for...

Hi David What I was trying to point out is the Swiftechs are so good at pulling heat away from the processor, by their very thick base plate, and 'fins' that they work as well, or better, then the Scythe Ninja Plus. I've found the Scythe requires more airflow, in other words, cranking the fans...

David: http://www.swiftnets.com/ ntroduction: The MCX-VPro™ heatsink is a high performance-low noise thermal solution for Intel® Xeon™ processors. It replaces the MCX603-V and MCX604-V heatsinks, and includes retentions mechanisms for all know Xeon™ compatible motherboards. I've found that with...

HMMMM. That's not what they were offering us, I don't think. I thought they were offering standard, regular phone wiring for their service here. The guy dropped the a linksys router, and cable modem by, but, they don't have power supplies, yet. Found em on the net for about 9 bucks each...

Server 2003 is fine with me, most of the time. When I thought about it, the feeling, and lack of intuitive interface to get to the TCP/IP settings reminded me a LOT of doing the same thing with OS X. Anybody have both to compare the same steps?
