I bought a closeout of PC barebones, several GX270 and GX280s, the 270s are harder to figure out when not working, however, the GX280 appear to directly suffer from bent PGA775 pins on the motherboard, unlike the straight pin on CPUs past, these appear much harder for a user to … |

Microsoft's new Visita OS -- expected to ship mid-2006 -- was recently reviewed by the Gartner group. The original document is available at Gartners' website for $95... unfortunately, I'll have to reference comments from others concerning it, instead of comments directly from it. The Windows Vista beta was released in … |

I've been attempting to run an ancient plotter using Autocad drivers on a HP winXP laptop (sp2). It seems, though, that the precise driver for my plotter (generic HP-GL/2 drivers do not work with it as it is using HPGL) is not functioning in my version of Autodesk. I've been … |

I asked a question in another thread about bumping the PIII on an old Socket 370 board, but I'm also considering moving on up to a 478 board and going to a Celeron CPU. Let's say I ditch the old PIII and old Socket 370 board with only 100mhz FSB. … |

I recently got a couple Dell LS Latitudes to learn about and of course, use. I'm a bit of a tinkerer, and I'm finding with Dell's direct approach, these are somewhat easy to assemble and even enhance... While in that regard I'm referring to the graphics card options, my first … |
