    Replacement Motherboard For Dimension 2400 - Options Needed

    Sorry for another follow up but, I just wanted to include the last fix. Just being courteous to future searchers. I know it can be aggravating coming across references in unresolved posts. :) *** Use the reference below at your own risk. Be mindful, when working with the REGISTRY ***...

    Replacement Motherboard For Dimension 2400 - Options Needed

    Just a follow up.. The board, I linked above, worked perfect with the Dell connectors. No rewiring, whatsoever. Only connector, I was unable to hook up, was the headphone port in the front panel. Everything else matched up perfectly. As for the power supply, there are no cross wires...

    Replacement Motherboard For Dimension 2400 - Options Needed

    From my research, you can replace a 2400 motherboard with a standard mATX. The link below has a couple of reviews of customers doing this with no issues at all. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16813185078 Only thing I'm trying to find now are the header...

    Switching Careers

    I've been in IT support for awhile. Supporting desktops, networks, and servers on all lvls. Anymore, I just feel like there's got to be something else in this industry. I just feel so burnt out in the support role. I thought about signing up at local community college for some of the...

    Video Upgrade via Docking Station

    I have a DELL Latitude C840 with a GeForce4 440 Go. The other day, I came across a docking station (c/dock) that has two PCI slots in it. I'm curious to know, if upgrading to a GeForce FX 5500 would be much of an improvement vs the GeForce4 440 Go card? I'm assuming that putting a 5500 in...

    Dell Latitude C840 Fan Assembly Help?

    Ya, I found out last night, after I opened it up. Man, they couldn't make it easy...could they? I had to tear out everything, just to get to them. Ebay has a couple.. However, I'll just go to some online store and get'em brand new. Pay an extra $10. Don't know, if Dell has any available...

    Dell Latitude C840 Fan Assembly Help?

    Not sure if anyone would know but, doesn't hurt to ask... Appears one fan has died and another is on the verge of dying on my C840. Instead of buying another assembly, couldn't I just replace the fans with some nice quality fans? If so, where's a good place to look for fans? One...

    X2 vs Opteron Dual

    I think I'm confused on the availability of the s939 Dual Core Opterons. I was under the impression these chips (i.e. 165) were not being made anymore. Very hard to come by... Which is why I listed the 265 as an example. It's a Dual Core Chip, it's also meant for dual processor...

    X2 vs Opteron Dual

    Sifted through a number of posts but, still curious... To my understanding, there's little difference in performance between the two (I'm not sure, which of the two would be suitable for comparison)? Based on $$$, I would say the 265 and the 4800 are in my price range. However, forgot about...

    SLI...or not?

    Ya, I understand that for AV. If you do try on Friday, that'll be great but, if you get bored waiting in queue, I understand... :D Ya, I might give it a try. Shouldn't really base my 1600x1200 experience... off my Dell laptop's LCD screen. 15.4 viewable, I think. :D I'll check out...

    SLI...or not?

    Thanks here too. Thanks Rapture for starting this post. Also, appreciate the time and effort for the bench marks. Finally, found a post where everyone was close to my setup and were doing similar things, which made the efforts for the bench marks worth wild. I'd like to have SLI but, I...

    SLI...or not?

    Played Battlegrounds AV yet? To see how the SLI handles it? I'm sure your RAID 0 is helping a great deal also with WoW's HUGE packets. I was wondering this too... Will that boost of 15-40fps from SLI, clear the choppiness in heavy battles. Or, is it an ego factor? I may be understanding...

    SLI...or not?

    Didn't want to post another topic of the same question but, I was wondering the same thing. I've heard mixed reviews on SLI but, I think it's in regards to the 68xx series. I've seen two reviews on the SLI setup for the 7800 series. Like to know, if anyone could recommend any other ones...

    Final decisions on new system...

    I'm about to go cross-eyed from all the reviews and forums. I'm down to the motherboard and processor for my final decision. I should say up front, its an Intel or AMD choice however, it's not rather which is faster but, just a solid stability. The decision.... I've read problems with...
