Btw .. the monitor was included in the package price , no rebate needed.
I got my Compaq Presario from Sams Club for $600 17 Inch Pure Flat CRT 120GB Hard Drive 9 IN 1 Memory Card Reader 512mb ddr ram dvd/cdrw combo Sams club has all the presarios that are being sold elsewhere beat pricewise. Oh and another thing ... I hate rebates ... why cant they give it to us in the first place. Its like theyre borrowing money from us in the amount of a full price , then paying it back.
And I just got done playing another few hours of NHL 2005. No lockups. Had one graphical glitch tho that didnt go away from exiting the game and restarting it. Rebooting the machine took care of it. Yraq I am taking your word for this! I trust you. Of course I cant hold you liable for any advice you give me that goes bad
My Logitech X230 Speakers come in tomorrow Im gonna rock da house!
NHL 2005 plays with no slowdown at 800x600 in Full detail Better then the gamecube , ps2 and xbox version. Plus no load time.
Thanks alot!!!! Youve been very helpful. You should be awarded a medal for your helpful PC Knowledge. I cant get a damn person to reply to my posts in EVGAs forum, everyones so damn crazy about the 6800 series that they could care less about us 5200 users
No its this one http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-130-210&depa=0
So you are saying that this 300w min requirement card could kill my machine?
Cant afford to do that, when I have a 2 yr extended warranty from Compaq. Dont wanna trash the PC , I removed the card and are gonna send it back for something with a 250w Power Spec Here is the supposed Rails you are looking for +12 = 14a +5v = 25a +3.3v = 18a -12V = 0.8a +5VSB = 2A (Peak 2.5A)
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I dont understand the math. But I found this on my power supply +5V & +3.3V = 165W MAX +5V & +12V = 218W MAX. Hrrm ... Im wondering whether I should return this for a card that fits the specifications.
I just bought an EVGA e-Geforce FX 5200 128MB Light Edition and it said requires min of 300 watts for the power supply. However my research on the web showed that a majority of the FX5200 cards sold today only requires a 250 watt power supply. My supply is 250 watts. I played NHL 2005 on full detail (minus the antiailsing I dont use that anyways I mean if it plays without it , it plays without it right ? ) And ... I encountered no Lockups.
This is definently a hardware issue , you say it writes at 16x? This sounds like one of the older cd-burners and you may want to purchase a new one from Newegg. Burners are dirt cheap there. You can find a quality burner for about 30.00 I reccomend the ASUS Quie-Trak Burner. It is ultra quiet. And Very Reliable. Comes with the awesome Nero burning rom as well as ASUSDVD as a bonus! never go into a retail store and buy a burner. Its a big ripo
Thanks for the cool information , ill look into this when I have some time.
Knowing Microsoft ... they probably already did.
While I dont know much about this scripting business , im probably going to just buy the engine part so I can run user made items
I think webroot spysweeper is too sensitive on its scanning engine. It reports legit things as spyware. Pest Patrol is even worse. EDIT Is spysweeper a webroot product? I tried one from Webroot and didnt like it.
Can I add my 2 cents worth? GOLEAFSGO!
Could you fill me in on what this site is about ?
When it comes to browsers , I dont really care as long as they get the job done. Heck , ive got about 4 different browsers , Opera, Maxathon , Firefox , IE , ETC .... But when it comes to security , I trust Lavasoft Ad Aware.
I liked the metallic look of it (I thought it looked metallic) plus when you download a file , that dot matrix effect rocks! What did you all think.
Remember the Terminator 3 desktop that was released ? Well , I had a Similar problem. I had installed that THEN i installed Windows Blinds. Well , not only did it cause lots of problems, I was seeing stop errors so often , its like its going out of style and windows wants to be noticed. And by the way , WindowBlinds is NOT A PIECE OF WORTHLESS SOFTWARE! Just because you had a problem with it doesnt mean that others are not going to like it.</f
Automatic update functionality was restored when I manually installed the updates from the Windows Update site. But this situation was weird. I can just see the amount of problems that are flowing through Windows Longhorn right about now. (Although im one to upgrade when microsoft releases a new O/S in the stores )
On IE , when you are on the save as dialog box , you are given two options for file types .zip and All Files. Select All files from the drop down and add the .wmz extension on the end. When its done downloading , open the the skin and tada! Its installed.
