Hey guys-
For the gift system I'm eventually going to build, I have an old SBLive! card that I got off eBay for something like $5.00
If you were using a VIA based Athlon motherboard (i.e. KT333 or KT400) that had the Realtek ALC650 (or is is 6550?) onboard sound, would you use the onboard sound...
I bought this motherboard from newegg for the gift system I'm building but just realized the system is not to be given until OCTOBER rather than August. So, I figure I will wait and choose the motherboard I want to give them in September or so (hopefully KT600 will be available).
I paid $74...

Suggestions Wanted for Gift System

This Enlight case looks like a good option for the gift system I'm building.
http://www.directron.com/en7255ab1.html
At $59 with front USB and a 360W PS it sounds great. If I remember correctly, Enlight is pretty good quality. The price seems too good to be true, especially with a 360W P4...
I'm slowly building up a system as I find good deals on parts at techbargains.com etc. The system is a gift for my syster-in-law and her husband.
He likes to play games so I want to get him a pretty good 3D card. Since I will be the tech support person for failures etc. I want to the...
Hey guys-
How much do you think my soon to be brother-in-law will notice the difference in RtCW or Max Payne with subject upgrade? Think it will be huge?
The new card is an Abit Siluro T200 with 32MB SDR onboard. I haven't seen much in the way of reviews for the MX200 so I'm not sure if it is...

I was wondering if one of you guys could help me make sure I use the proper terminology when I make a request of our IT department.
My company has a corporate intranet. The group I’m in has a website that I manage. I’m no webmaster, I just dictate what is on our group website, how it should...
How will Max Payne run on a system with these specs.:
Motherboard: Intel BX Chipset
CPU: Celeron II 950 Mhz
GFx Card: TNT2 16MB AGP
RAM: 384MB
O/S: WinXP
Any recommendations for how to get the most out of this game with this system?

Guys-
A friend at work has an old P90 machine. He just bought a new Dell and wants to transfer some of his files from the old machine to the new. He has too many files to use floppies and the P90 does not have a burner. Opening the machine(s) and transferring the hard drive of the old box...

Any idea where I can get an app that will max on both CPUs on my J6000 (HP-UX) workstation? We have a distributed computing system here at work and my machine seems to get assigned jobs when I don't want it to. Machine CPU usage is tracked so if I can keep it maxed out all the time, I am less...

Hey All-
The IT dept. here at work is giving me a hard time about one of the UNIX machines I use (at a remote location). They are telling me it can be a member of only one domain (the one defined by the remote location) and that I won't be able to access any files I have on the other domain...
I bought this Gravis game pad thinking it would make playing Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell more fun to play. But, as it seems, I think that the game does not support a game pad (only KB/Mouse in the PC version).
Should I return this game pad or are there any good games I can try with it on the...
With the downsizing going on at work, we no longer have the technical/administrative support to run our group website. Our site is one of the more active corporate intranet sites in my company so it needs to remain active and current.

I think I want to replace my dad's Epox 7KXA KX133 700mhz slot A system with a newer kt133a based system with a cool running Duron. I'd prefer to stick with something that has a 686A or 686B southbridge to minimize the possibility for problems when just moving his hard drive from the old system...

Works just fine, I just bought a router that has a little smaller footprint on my desk (Netgear RP614) so I don't need this one.

I got my dad a WD400JB that I was going to install in his Slot-A Athlon 700 (Epox 7KXA) with an old Promise Ultra/100 TX2 card I had laying around.
I ghosted the contents of the old 13.6GB Maxtor (7200 RPM) to the new drive and powered the system down. Upon removing the Maxtor...
Cliptin is easily the star player of our F@H team and is ranked 153 overall.
Now, two of my machines will be folding full-time for Cliptin in an effort to move him up the ranks! If we all contribute some of our folders to Cliptin, maybe we can get an SF'er way up there!

I saw this mentioned on PriceWatch and thought it was interesting. Something for your road warriors out there heh heh....5400 RPM with 16MB cache in a 40GB laptop hard drive.
