good idea............why didn't I think of that? *goes to try it*

Ok, heres my setup. I've got to restrict a computer in the office that I work at to only perticular sites...but I really can't think of a program that does that. So could someone recommend to me a...

right but that has nothing to do with your router...your router just splits the line into a determined number of separate lines...but to your computer it just sees it as a regular cable connection.

Good choice on the mobo btw... :-D

you shouldn't have to mess with the ports on the router to get your DL program to work. It should make no difference whether or not you are in the router or not. at least not that noticeable of a...

Being a crazy OCer myself...its more for the fun of seeing how high you can get your processor...or how stable you can get it. I watercooled my PC for stability issues...and I love it. Though others...

Oh it owns...and then it owns you...haha

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Yes, the LGA 775's are new...and cool...but have you checked out what's happened in the past 5-6 years? haha, computer parts never last that long without becoming "old"

the drivers tell the computer what to do with the hardware (what it is, how it works, etc)


possibly your hardware is broken?

Well, I've already bought one...as I said. So I can't quite buy a centrino, I'm just wondering what everyone else's battery life is like, so I can compare to mine.

I admire that you have your own business goin' there...but I don't buy computers...I build them. :cheesy:

Like i said before, your graphics are nice, your processor is good, but your mobo will hold you back, that paired with your memory makes it why you have a built system instead of a custom system....

As said earlier, check your bios...see overheating temps and shutdown temps.

well then a 64 is the way to go...I'm looking into one as we speak.

crossover cables work great...but so do wireless (overnight...hehe)

Or find someone with an external HD...those are the best paired with USB2.0 and you'll have your files over in no time.

Personally, the Microsoft Wireless intellimouse explorer works the best. I use the logitech MX700 for my gaming computer, but as far as the laptop goes, this works the best. Small wireless...

Where did you read this? I've never heard of this...I know they run slower, but they are a 64bit processor as opposed to its XP sister. I'll have to look into this...

Hey, I'm just wondering as to what everyones avg battery life is for their notebooks, and what their specs are. Personally, my battery life sucks...I unplug it and walk upstairs, and its down about...

Remember, just because it says 400W...doesn't mean its any better than the brandname (antec...enermax....etc) 300W...not all powersupplies are up to par. Seriously, don't slack on your PSU...you'll...

Oooh jeeze, yup that happens. Static electricity is not your friend if your a computer geek!

this is also coming from the kid who never uses a static wrist band...and wont til something actually...

^wut he said...drivers. W2k is great...minus the fact that it comes preloaded with just about 0 device drivers...

its the worst when you can't find your ethernet card drivers with W2k and then...

woah...celeron...daring you are...lol careful you might blow that chip up :cheesy:

I just bought my laptop, and if I have any advice, its that you MUST configure the system online, rather than buying for a store. I saved almost $400+ on mine, with the same features (give or take a...

SCREW PENTIUM!!!! unless your pockets are bulging with money, those P4s are just way to overpriced. your paying for a name, not performance.

dont get me wrong, p4s do perform, and they have their...

Well if you're looking for expensive, which you are (with an X800XT Platinum), then a P4 system (HT) is your best bet. Personally, IMO, you can get a GREAT system going with an athlon XP, with...

The system itself isn't bad...the mobo however might give you some problems.

Like said before, your much better off getting a new Mobo/processor, and OC'ing with that, because pre-built comps...

Hmmm, never had this problem, but I have had other problems with video capture devices/drivers. Is S-Video avaliable to capture the video from? if so, try that...otherwise possibly check with ATi to...

MS is constantly updating XP so if you want the latest updates, then you are forced to get SP2...Granted the initial version wasn't so good, eventually it will even out. Without SP2, you won't be...

ah very nice very nice, yes I believe I will be getting a masters in Business...I hope to be as successful as I can, and I have many good business skills which I hope will lead me somewhere In life.

oh yes, and may I comment on the false URL...you again, almost had me.

oh yeah good one buddy, lol, I never said I was the one who installed the hacked version, I was simply rectifying the problem. But you almost had me...wow.

Hey buddy, you think you know what you are talking about, but really your just an idiodic, uneducated...I'll stop there. You need to learn to read before you make comments such as "...You are a...

im the system admin lol, and why would that matter?

Ok heres the situation. I am working in a small office network situation, and everything worked fine before last night when I installed a new copy of WinXP (because I needed SP1 [which requires legal...

Btw, that undergrad comp sci with the business graduate degree sounds sooo nice...I'm going to seriously look into that. Up on the ladder at microsoft would be real nice.

Wow, sounds good. cscgal you are honestly SOOO helpful, just thought I would say thanks before I annoy you with more questions hehe. Same goes to the rest of you, The one on one knowledge is alot...

So, what sorts of jobs am I looking at out of the comptuer science field? And what should I do in graduate school after I take this in college...?

Yeah, are there any bios tweaks that I didn't turn on? Possibly the floppy controller in bios? I wanna make sure its this before I make the trip to his house to rip apart his system and check...

So...I won't be using a computer much in my field of study? Like I said, I'm fasinated with all apsects of computers, and I want to follow them throughout my life. Will this open up a field of study...
