JeremyGe, you have a PM with details. Thanks

Hello, fellow HTF'ers. I have the follow items for sale: PNY GeForce FX 5500 AGP video card, 128MB, gently used, in original packaging with driver/software CD and quick installation guide. I am asking $35+shipping. Intel D101GGC MicroATX motherboard, LGA775 socket, gently used, supports...

That one was about a 6 hour affair...done twice, actually (after a re-format about a month later, unrealted to SP2) before I had the sense to order the CD for future use.

I just got a GMail account. How long will it take until I'm offered the chance to invite others, and where will I see these invites listed as available?

I would just install the 40GB drive as the main drive and use the recovery discs to "restore" the PC using the 40GB drive as soon as you get the PC. I have an eMachines too, and it restores it to exactly the same state, and in about 20 minutes. Then you can just format the drive that came with...

Oh! I forgot about Blue Man Group. Go!! You'll love it. If I remember correctly, seating is first come first serve, so get there early and try to sit up front (maybe not so close that you have to wear the plastic covering because of all the paint, but close). We sat about 3/4 of the way back...

There also used to be a very fun pirate show at the Treasure Island, but they've recently gone post-modern (a.k.a., weird) and are currently re-vamping the show. I don't know if the old show is still running or if the new show is available, but you could do some searching and find out if you're...

Thanks for the links, Matt. BTW, If I do decide to perform this project, the systems would be my own that I'd have to purchase and test on my own (I'd probably get a grant), so no risk of destroying school systems. However, I'm beginning to wonder about the overall usefulness of this project...

Ok, thank you! I'm sure I can find some software by searching around, but does anyone have a good title to recommend?

Sorry for the recent influx of computer related questions, but I am having zero luck with google searches, PC websites, and newsgroups. You people have been the most informative resource I have found. This coming school year, I will have to work on a year-long science project, and for part of...

There's fine print at the bottom of the ad that says you have to aim it directly at the corner. So, basically, it's splitting the laser beam and sending it in both directions.

The problem is, though, the 98 disc is also an upgrade disc. Will it accept this?

Hi, I got to thinking earlier....my new computer came loaded with XP Home. When shopping around, most manufacturers explicitly stated "Dell/Compaq/whoever recommends Windows XP Professional." Is there any reason for this recommendation, other than the fact that it gets them more money? I...

You people supporting ear candles aren't going to like this.... Still can't do links, so search for "ear candle" on straightdope.com or enter "Straight dope ear candle" into google. Basically, Cecil Adams says that, as an experiment, they burned two candles: one in a guy's ear, one just on...

All right! Thanks, guys!

There's a lot of numbers on this thing. Maybe this is it: CAU4211531 AU31-L I found that near the CPU and the NorthBridge heatsink. Edit: Anyone think the drivers are located on this page under "nVidia Force2 System Driver"? I can't post a direct link, so do a google search for...

The motherboard's an FIC AU31. I can't even find a reference on FIC's site, and no luck through google. Can you work some magic, Chris?

Hmm....okay. Seems like I'm a bit out of luck if I ever have a problem. However, the Restore CD did come with a folder of drivers, including those for the integrated video and audio, for GART and MemCtl (can anyone enlighten me as to what those are?), IDE, and the integrated Ethernet. I know...

I found the i386 folder--it's chock full of system files. In it, I stumbled upon the installer (I think), Winnt32. I ran it, and it told me that it would not be able to upgrade my system because it couldn't find NetUpGrd.dll. It did, however, allow me to begin the process of a full install. I...

Hello.... I just purchased a new computer, and it didn't come with a Windows XP CD, but it did come with the usual Recovery CDs that restore the system to its factory defaults. My concern is what would happen if I have to replace a major piece of hardware, say, the motherboard or hard drive...

I too would like one, so that I can stop using AOL's stupid email system that just begs to be spammed. Thanks! Edit: got one. Thanks!!
