    Windows 10: Your thoughts so far?

    Wife's laptop has been fine with W10. Unfortunately my desktop has a severe problem -- watching youtube videos crashes my intel graphics driver and freezes the computer. Intel says my HD2000 chip isn't W10 compatible so tough luck. That's a pretty common chip, not sure how that will fly with Joe...

    How do you guys feel about these options? M-AUDIO AV30s vs. Behringer MS20s $104 shipped vs. $100 shipped (newegg) $97 shipped vs. $100 shipped (amazon) I might find them cheaper but the point being they are about the same price. AV30 comes with cables | MS20 no cables except power AV30...

    Need help setting up WRT54GL as access point

    I need to add a wireless access point in another room for my 360 & Dish Network receiver. Based on advice from another forum I ordered a WRT54GL from Newegg. I'm now wondering if I made this more difficult than it needed to be. Either way, it seems this router can be set up as an access point if...

    Wii at Best Buy

    They were discussing this on NPR today and apparently put the question to Nintendo then read their answer over the air, it was not a denial, just a neutral statement about some components being more difficult to produce than others. Considering the Wii is just a souped up Gamecube, I don't see...

    How To Pick a Motherboard?

    Thanks for all the info, especially Dan D, that is very helpful. Thanks again. I'm glad I'm not the only person to have issues with Abit. I've only used their boards in four builds but all four were problematic. It was a couple of years ago though and they had Via chipsets.

    How To Pick a Motherboard?

    I'm trying to catch up on the last several years of hardware changes and advances and I didn't want to make a separate thread for this question. In years past I've liked Gigabyte, ECS, and Asus motherboards the most; I've also used some Epox and intel boards without problem. Are those five...

    I didn't know you could price out P3 based systems at Dell. Dell sells some nice systems for less than $600.

    Does your $535 computer include a monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, OS and software?

    building your own rig or going prebuilt moneywise

    Last time I did the math, which admittedly was a couple of years ago, you couldn't touch a middling or low end scratchbuilt for the price of an equivalent Dell; unless you were reusing parts and software. If you compare apples to apples, that means including software, I bet you'll find a...

    Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 for Free Shipped After Rebate

    Thanks. I switched from Norton to PC-cillin years ago because Norton was a system hog. Now Trend PC-cillin has become a system hog and it's time to change again. Unfortunately, IS applications are rarely compared by how much system resources they consume. I might go ahead and pull the trigger on...
