I'm in agreement with you. If you tried giving it the full 120W and it still didn't want to turn over, then it's probably something wrong with the power circuitry (I've also heard of bad fan sensors causing non-posts). You might...

I just realized the Apple camp has been unusually quiet with no hint of "sales are still going strong". Combine that with the cancellation of WinPads and it seems to be that the iPad was a 1-day wonder.

Unless you know you need 4 cores, you only need 2 I myself would only go quad core if I'm doing a lot of 3d rendering or movie converting.

[I'm shooting in the dark] XP deals with multiple monitors by always having a second monitor setup in the display properties and just enabled/disabled depending on which mode you are in. Could you try going into device manager and...

Some mobos (internal power management circuitry) can be very finicky about what they will or will not start on. And generic asian electronic anything is never very reliable even under the best times. Best idea would probably just be to...

Temps that high on the gpu are definitely not normal. I don't think i've ever seen mine go higher than about 70 C under full load. I do hope you regularly blow out your fan/heatsink assembly with compressed air. I found in mine that...

System Tools can't overclock the GPU. You have to use Powerstrip: http://www.entechtaiwan.com/ps.htm Overclocking your gpu will only have tiny benifits (ie don't go higher than a 10% overclock cause the gpu speed isn't the limiting...

Now that I look at it, it looks like AGP clock rate is no longer available (in Sys Tools 6.03). Either way, turning it up didn't make any difference at all in benchmarks (for my dv6646 tl-58 1.9 ghz).

You need nvidia system tools 6.03 (higher versions don't work): http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia_...ools_6.03.html Right click desktop -> Nvidia control panel -> Performance Menu - > Increase FSB to 238 mhz (any higher will...

I still wonder a bit if safari is #3/4 because Safari is the IE of Macs. As much as I like Chrome's speed, it's not fast enough compared to FF to justify the lack of extensions+themes. People also like to claim that Chrome gives you...
