Thanks for your reply. I'm a bit confused about your response. Are you suggesting that a new motherboard and processor are in order rather than a simple hard drive upgrade? My main question right now...
I built my own system several years ago with much help from the folks in this forum. I rarely use my machine for gaming anymore between owning several consoles and having two children. Mostly I'm...
Well, I'm happy to report that I successfully installed Vista on the other partition and I now have both OSes on my machine. I've noticed what I hope is a glitch (rather than an intentional...
I have Ubuntu on CD, and I tried to load it onto the PC along with XP when I first built the system, but something kept going wrong. Maybe I'll try again when Vista arrives, although I can't...
Thanks, Monkey! I ordered Vista 64-bit Home Premium OEM from Newegg this morning. $80.00 for Turkey Day weekend. I'll let you know how the dual-booting works out for me.
Right now it's a 500 GB SATA hard drive w/ 127 GB on C: (XP drive) and the rest on drive E: which is pretty much empty right now. Can I just install Vista onto E, or do I have to put Vista on C...
It's been almost a year since the great minds on this site helped me build my super pc. Here's what I built:
case: Antec 900
motherboard: Asus P5KC
processor: Intel E8400
memory: Corsair 4GB...
Thanks, guys. I was also looking at this one, which says it is "hot pluggable." Is that the same as hot swappable? This one also works with SATA, which seems like an added bonus. What do you...
Now that I have a huge SATA hard disk on my superPC, I have no use for my old IDE drives that are lying around. However, I wouldn't mind using them for portable storage to transfer large files...

I just discovered that AVG Antivirus (Free Version) will no longer be supported after May 31. Are there any comparable free antivirus software programs available?
EDIT--Well, forgive my...
You're going to hear this sooner or later, so I'll chime in:
Just about everyone on these boards recommends this PSU:

It was an OEM version of XP. I got it to work finally. I had to delete the partition, wiping out the multimedia files I had stored on partition 2 in the process. Fortunately I backed up all the...
As a comparison, here is a Samsung I could get for $280 (after rebate and free shipping). Is it better than the HP? Are there monitors better than both for under $300?

This is on clearance, and seems to have pretty good reviews. I looked it up on Newegg, but they only sell the "h" version, which has HDMI but no DVI. The version at TigerDirect does have DVI. I...
This is a "copy/paste" of my post from the "First Boot Problems" section since I'm not sure if it's a boot problem or a Windows problem. I hope that's OK,
So now that I've been tooling around...
So now that I've been tooling around with a functional super pc for over a month after getting a working mobo, I decided to back up saved games and reinstall windows xp, since I have downloaded and...
Congrats, Shyster. Feels good, doesn't it?:cool:
I know this game isn't exactly "new" by industry standards, but I eBayed a copy for myself after finishing my build and I just love it. Dark, atmospheric, and stunningly designed. This game has me...
Good luck. I built almost the same rig. Only the motherboard is different (Asus P5KC), and I'm still using an old monitor. Enjoy!
I had this problem when we got a new cable modem from comcast. If your cable modem does NOT have battery back-up, try removing the power cord from the back of the modem. Then plug it back in, wait...
It's good to see someone who got a working P5KC! My 2nd board is still working after nearly a month (knock on wood). Congratulations!
I got the Logitech Wave mouse/keyboard combo a couple weeks ago. I love it so far:
