  1. ok here we go a Seagate. Seagate Momentus 5400RPM 100GB 2.5" HDD $165 No rebate
  2. eVGA is probably the best choice but if money is no object I'd spring for the 400MHz eVGA GeForce 6800GS CO it's few extra bucks but well worth it.
  3. (slaps head) Inspiron not Dimension, shoulda known that as soon as get back home I'll try to find a laptop one. (I'm at school right now and newegg is blocked)
  4. Well here's another 160 with a proven track record also by seagate. only 2 people really had a problem. Another One I don't know why you say the seagtes aren't good right now. they are the only ones with most of the drives 5 egg (star) WD and Maxtor were all 4 egg. I tell ya though those old seagate medalists last ages, I have two 8 year old ones that I still use for storage or use in a tower but not now that i have two 20 gig WD ones. one that I can use for linux in the Compaq and one i can use as the gateway's drive. Those medalists are still runnin fine though. it seems that there is a lot
  5. Yeah time fo a new drive Try this drive extra 60 Gigs, faster, and WAY cheaper. 160GB 7200RPM Seagate
  6. doesn't Microsoft offer update discs for free?
  7. Awesome man. that is @#$%ing hilarious.
  8. HOLY CRAP there's a ton in my town but none near me I don't think. A guy I know, I think i found his dad, no wonder he is a delinquent.
  9. well I'm trying Zone Alarm right now. I've a lot of good things about it.
  10. Try snoopin Newegg, it's just about the best place on the planet for getting parts. They are cheap fast shipping and a Ginormous selection. They also have full systems too.
  11. Try this registry hack it was always 2 downloads for me. Try Firefox too. It lets you download more than 2 or 3 without tweaks. You really won't get your downlaods much faster anyway the more files you download at once the slower each downloads, or at least that's my experience.
  12. if it is saying page cannot be displayed, click start>All programs>accessories>Communications>network connections. You ought to be able to just Right click the network connection he is using and click repair. Either that or double click it and click the Support tab and click repair.
  13. The owner of a local computer shop I hang out at all the time always uses PC-Cilin and he loves it. He installs it on every computer he builds.
  14. On my main system I use both Norton and AVG. Norton usually runs as Primary and when it slips up or dies (and a Virus killed it once with AVG cleaning the mess up). When Norton runs out in April, I'll run just AVG and replace the Norton firewall with a free one or something. Norton SUCKS. Actually I also have a router so I have double firewalls. Now on my room system right now I just run AVG and Windows firewall but I think I'll try a free firewall.
  15. Both browsers opened to a plain site like google FF uses 2mb less than IE. FF - 17MB IE - 19MB When opened up to Homestar Runners Site main page 3 they both ran about the same at 21-22MB. *Note this is on my Bedroom computer. Athlon XP 2600+, 512MB PC2100 RAM, No extensions, I need to test on my main system and check that out, Athlon XP 3000+, 1024MB PC3200* *EDIT nevermind I lied IE is only at 12 on google but is at 21-22 on homestar though. The 19 was on MSN. never changed any IE settings on this computer cause I always used firefox.*
  16. It's all right but I'm gonna stick with the one's I got. The Sidewinder's Wallpaper My Bedroom Compaq's Wallpaper
  17. lord , it it is takin ages on this 768k line makes ya wonder just what's out there. there's billions of stars and there could just be planets orbiting almost every single one of them. wow. and this pic is just the center of the Milky Way
  18. the only manufactured PC I'd get would be an Alienware, VooDoo, Falcon Northwest, or ABS and that would be just for a laptop. Otherwise I build my own. If I were to buy a new one made by someone else it'd have to be from the local shop called The CCC. My Sidewinder though is loaded with mountains of crap though that slows it down. printer and scanner crap (HP). AV and Firewall (Norton and AVG), Motherboard Utilities, (Gigabyte) and loads of other crap. I almost can't wait for my Norton Internet Security subscription to run out. With Firefox and free firewalls I don't really need it anymore and
  19. A fellow Queensrÿche fan, I love their music. All I have right now is Queensrÿche EP, Operation: Mindcrime, Empire, and Greatest Hits. The next one I wanna get is Rage for Order.
