are you sure that the password match? Otherwise you would be discribing a situtation when the passwords dont match.

It isnt dual core.. it is just 64bit.. No one has a dual core mobile platform yet.. I have a Dell 8500 and 6000.. Love both of them and they are Centrino with ATI graphics. One with a 9600 pro and the other with an x300.. I would highly recommend dell laptops.. the tech supports sucks.. but that doesnt matter cause you have testmy.net

amd Nvidia.. That is my vote.. until i see something better than the 7800gtx from ati then maybe.. but even then i am a Nvidia fan..

So this "tech" took the computer out and swapped parts? The first thing I would do is take it back and tell the SOB that it isnt booting and that is his problem! The computer would post just fine when you brought it in and now it will not. so there is something wrong. There could be tons of stuff. Some of the newer motherboards dont support the older duron/thunderbird/k6-2 processors. which it sounds like might be your problem. If I were you I would tell him that you didnt ask for an upgrade you asked for system maintance! If he refuses to fix the problem or make it so that your system works.. file a complaint with the BBB and call the credit card company or bank and tell them to stop the payment.. after you tell them what happened.

it depends on whether comcast has the equipment in place to offer that service to everyone in your area.. my guess is you will be on the 4/384 for a while then get upgraded..

wow.. that is pretty sweet..

The cheapest dual core processor from AMD is like 350 right now it is the 3800 X2.

Let me go try.. i have a hard drive that will not boot and clicks.. * run to the freezer.. with out a bucket of water* I will throw some pics up.. I will leave it in over night.. and see what happens..

ahhh... i knew there was something going on..

The p5wds-p ships with dual gigabit lan.. dont waste the 8 bucks.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131534 you can get it for 199 at newegg.. I would go dual core at this point.. only problem.. it is going to be over 1200..

hahaha.. congats!

I want to see where you are getting these prices.. i can not find the 7800GTX for anything less than $500.. are you sure it isnt the 7800GT? they just put that one out and it would fall into the price range you are discribing..

Glad you like the 524! I like mine alot.. it is the A1 but that is alright..

then you are going to want to go with the crossfire stuff.. otherwise you need the exact same graphics cards for Nvidia's SLI to work. Same card, same version, same firmware...

that is correct.. it is with a 2 year contract for new customers only.. through cingular.. I know that Tmobile has just started to carry the razr.. Havent seen any prices from them yet.

19 almost 20.. september 30! Good old college boy..

My mobile is being update with new tanks and pumps.. so i have to go to shell.. that stuff is expensive!! It makes me cry to see it cost me $55 for a freakin fill up..

Hahaha.. it will never be "required".. ever! even my sound card that requires will run on an sp1 system just fine.. you hit it on the head.. if you have a good firewall/antivirus you dont need to worry..

It is freaking cold where he lives.. But for some reason they can run fiber all accross the european tundra before they can put it an where else in the United States..

damn right it better have more advanced hardware.. it is coming out like 5 months later..

good deal..

Tigerdirect has been running that promo for some time now.. yeah 99.00 for the silver one and like 150-200 for the new black one..

Here is a great article about this topic.. Sata II http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=2450

can you directly connect the computer to the modem and run a speed test? That should help us narrow it down to a hardware problem.
