but dont do that too much. it lowers the credit score and looks bad when you try to get a new one. if you keep doing it. (just saying that because i know people that tried it to get lower interest rates...)

sweet. post up some benchmarks and stuff when everything is built

k i got it downloaded thanks

nope i got that position filled.

thanks, one more question. will 10.2 work on the laptop? the thing i'm worried about is the display and sound. ? when i try to download 10.2 from opensuse.org it says the dvd iso file (i dont want to download the cd's unless i have to) is forbidden. i even have an account there...

ok i have been helping a friend who wanted to format windows (easy enough) and now he wants to reformat a partition (30gb which is half of his hard drive) on a laptop. xp media center and suse linux 10.1 . the laptop is an acer aspire 3100-1033 (same as mine...he bought it cause he liked mine lol) anyways i am lost on how to dual boot suse 10.1 and xp media center on this laptop. any help is appreciated starship_troopers edit// i forgot to say, the iso (like 3.5gb file) is almost done downloading and will be burned onto a dvd.

instead of clicking start topic you have to click start poll. but now that you started this thread just ask a mod or admin

thanks, that is actually the kind of ram i need. i'll bookmark it and actually order some later.

cool i've been looking into buying some ram. i'll check out patriot ram now to. i need to get anotehr 512 or a 1gig stick for my laptop.

i have to disagree with you even though you are way smarter than me in computers. when i built this pc i bought this case http://www.sunbeamtech.com/index-2.html and it has never had any problems, except cleaning it out a few times a month because of the side air vent and dust. but it has 3 120mm fans, and a huge side air vent, plus i have another 120mm fan if i need to find space to add it. . btw, do you think its my RAM? because i bought some A-DATA ram 4x 512mb sticks each with heat spreader? This is my RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211064 i dont think it is but you never know....

i dont have dual harddrives but i've had issues with my pc not rebooting becuase it couldnt find the harddrive. all i did was un plug the drive and plug it back in then reboot...but i bet when a more experienced member reads this they will give you a definite answer on what to do

i dont usually use youtube because you cant download the videos. and another reason i dont is because like you just said. the legality of downloading the videos comes into play. which is why i only searched it instead of trying some first

i havent tested any since i barely use youtube but sift through a few results and see what you can find http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=en&q=how+to+download+youtube+videos&btnG=Google+Search

i know what you mean. except mine is a laser mouse not ball. every once in a while my mouse will just randomly streak across the screen or not work untill i unplug it and plug it back in. i think its the mouse cable. maybe a short in it? try a new mouse if you have one

it says the same thing for me and i have the 1100 express chipset. everything else seems accurate for me so i just disregarded that part

Over 2500 left handed people a year are killed from using products made for right handed people! i guess i better watch out when i use right handed peoples things then....

lol i do. but it still only takes like 10 seconds to boot up completely

...in speedfan can anyone guess as to what is supposedly so high in temp....look at temp 1. sorry for double post. for some reason it wouldnt save my extra screenshot when i tried to edit my post

here is a pic of the program "hardware doctor" that came on my motherboard disk. it shows everything fine...

those are all good facts, but i disagree with one of them.... this one to be exact "No piece of square dry paper can be folded more than 7 times in half!" if the paper is big enough and thin enough it can be folded more times than 7...it was on tv on mythbusters.

i have no problem putting on thermal pastes...i've done it to a few machines before. i just have never had to buy a heatsink for my cpu. i usually buy a retail cpu that comes with a heatsink and fan. maybe i'll just upgrade to a dual core cpu and get a new heatsink for that

now that i look you are correct...

your right kamil 261 was a typo. for my cpu...but temp 1 on my pc is reading at 261....i dont know what that is tho. maybe my RAM that has heatspreader...but i can touch it and its only warm....idk maybe its a wrong reading. thanks i'll look into those heatsinks

i'm new to replacing heatsinks, does the one you posted (coknuck) compatible with my 90mm cpu. the specs on your link says the heatsink is 92mm. is that too big to fit in right? NEWBIE question lol

my heatsink and fan for my amd athlon 64 3800+ is getting pretty bad...it shows temps of 261 for my cpu when im just surfing the web and using speedfan. any ideas on heatsinks and fans or new thermal paste that will help? and if thermal paste what kind of remover should i use for the thermal pad that is on my cpu and heatsink right now? here is my cpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103029 thanks starship
