    randomly losing wireless connection

    I was using SP1 for months with no problem though. Also powercycling does not help in this situation, believe me I've tried many times on both of them. Since this is limited to my laptop I'm not sure if it's on my end or it's one of the routers...

    randomly losing wireless connection

    I've been having issues with my wireless connections for a few days. I use two WEP enabled connections primarily (at different houses) and both of them seem to lose the internet randomly every few minutes--it doesn't depend on what I'm doing or if I'm even using the internet at all. It drops the...

    is my superdrive dead?

    My Macbook doesn't seem to want to play any discs. When I insert a DVD (a store bought one not a burned one), in frontrow it says "Disc not supported." I tried to install Leopard today and it wouldn't load as well. When I insert a disc it sounds okay for a second, then it makes a noise like...

    Well I just wanted to update you guys that I did end up ordering the Dash. Maingear has already called me to confirm my order and everything. I'm impressed with their customer service already. So we'll see.

    Well as I said, I'm okay with replacing anything EXCEPT the mobo and CPU. I'm now leaning towards the dash, despite my love affair with Costco. ;) I just don't know.

    with an upgraded video card, would it be able to play new games for a bit? i'm not into heavy games, but i would like to be able to play things like starcraft ii, elder scrolls oblivion, fable 2, stuff like that. i really don't care about the newest technology i just want to run well for awhile.

    Okay I am REALLY impressed with the Maingear dash. I am seriously considering it especially after reading a few glowing reviews about the company itself (including on [h] consumer). Is there any cons to this thing? I would probably get ingrated video and then just buy a new card later.
