  1. www.majorgeeks.com.. the only place for us geeks.. they have everything!!! most of it is free to begin with!
  2. This is the latest release from VIA for the Intel based systems. What makes this chipset so sweet is the fact that it will support both AGP and PCIe! Meaning that you could use your current graphic card, assuming that you have one , and then still have room to upgrade to the latest and greatest in the future.. The only other feature that I see really valuable would be dual support of DDR and DDRII meaning that you could again run the old stuff and then upgrade to the new.. The next step up is the PT 894.. All of the feature above are included except that you dont get the AGP support.. Instead you get a 16x PCIe port and a pair of 1x expansion ports.. Either of these boards, I think, are a must look at for anyone in the market for a new intel based system.. The offer plenty of options for upgrades and can allow you to build as your budget recovers... Extemetech
  3. here is an idea what you will get.. I have no idea what the test situtiation was so I cant say that you will get the same results.. Source
  4. lol i remember when this site was so small.... the Pimputer was when CA3LE started picking up members... we had like 28 pages on that thing... Any one talk to Lorne lately?? first 1000 posts.. https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=133.0 The "pimputer" thread.. https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=110.0 Wow those were the days... Hope some of the newer members take some time at take a look at those...
  5. hell it was on the register so it has to be true
  6. 1.5 behind doesnt really tell us much.. what is you speed?? Following the guide should pull you with in 500-1000 of the ethernet speed.. You also might want to see if there are any other networks on the same channel in your general area... this would cause interference which would slow down your net work.. which is a bad thing!! Also any encription that you are running, you should be running either WEP or WPA, will slow down the speeds... I have found that WEP does more damage to the speed than WPA.. Follow the guide that should take care of most of it.. you also might want to check and see if there is a firmware upgrade or driver upgrade for your wireless card.. I would do drivers before firmware...
  7. I am not sure what you mean... give me another example... or a screen shot would be helpful..
  8. a lot faster than that to host a server... I think CA3LE, the owner, is on like a 10mb like for upload or so.. I dont remember exactly... BTW welcome to the forums...
  9. ok here is what I came up with.. let me know.. that is pretty rough.. i know.. i did it in about 10 min.. lol
  10. *Launched photoshop and grabs a coke.. Plans for a long night *
  11. I dont know if it was for that or what.. I still have it laying at my house.. waiting for a home.. My guess is that it will go into my antec server case this summer.. with some cold color cathods to make it look evil! I still have that original graphic that used for that project on my hard drive.. i could make something if you want me to..
  12. i Did.. a long time ago.. That was going to be a case window for one of my project that I was going to do.. but I never got around to it..
  13. yeah there is a big difference in the screens.. the biggest difference is the resolution!!! Just depends on what you are use to.. I always say that the higher the better.. cause you never know when you are going to want more desktop space... :haha:
  14. Yeah no kidding!!
  15. What brand is that?? it look like sager but i am not sure..
  16. yeah read the article.. it explains what to expect... just some little fixes that you most likely didnt even know were wrong.. O well i guess that is what happens when you are hired by google to develop a new browser..
  17. Dell Inspiron 8600 Centrino 1.8ghz(745) Intel Wireless 2200 b/g Hitachi 60gb 7200 rpm hard drive ATI Radeon 9600 pro turbo mobility (128mb) 15.4 WSXGA+ 1680x1050 native resolution 512mb ram (1 stick) DVD-CD-RW That is my baby.. 4-4.5 hours on a single charge...
  18. yeah that is what you should be getting.. The New dlink routers do have problems with xbox right now but that is expected to be fixed with the next firmware.. That is only on the gaming routers..
  19. i already have one..
  20. YES!!! that is correct.. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1746083,00.asp take a look at that.. No problem! That is what this site is all about!! Tell your friends.. I bet you can get faster than that..
  21. ok here is what I found.. from microsofts website..
  22. My guess is that the tracert will tell the story.. I can almost be you are going though a busy router/switch..
