The biggest difference in the more basic audio solutions over the last few years is game audio processing. EAX, EAX2 and all that stuff. If you don't care about that, your old PCI card should be...

Do you have a similar problem with any other USB devices?

You might want to have a USB-PS/2 adapter handy just in case (or a PS/2 mouse if you have one lying around).

Jesus Christ...

Everything worked great for a few days. Now, the wireless works flawlessly, but the LAN is now having problems.

What will happen with my PC on the LAN is that it shows a valid...

Or they could just give you horizontal AND vertical and take the guess work out of it. That's probably asking too much.

Hmm... I decided to restart and rehook up everything again, only this time I disabled the wireless. See, I used to use static ip addressing, because I used to have a vpn device at home, but I don't...

I have comcast cable, and I have been using the same motorola surfboard cable modem and netgear router for like 6 years, without issue.

Then, a few days ago, I've been stuck with this problem...

Oh man, that reminds me of the showers we had in college. There were 8 of them I think, and only 1 or 2 actually drained properly. So most of the time you were forced to stand in up to 3 inches of...

Yeah you just have to mash any solids down with your foot.

Well... you could unplug it. Could be a driver issue.

What's hilarious is that John McCain may have made a misstep by choosing a running mate that's a dead ringer for a (former) SNL cast member. It sure is entertaining though.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but if not how do you make a conclusion like that? If being efficient is lazy, then I guess I'm lazy.

BTW I do it occasionally, if I think my wife's not...

I have a canon printer also. I'm already thinking of skipping the idea; I think that software still has a ways to catch up with modern processors and there probably won't be that much of a benefit. ...

Just to be clear:

333 MHz front side bus, REAL speed, equals:

667MHz DDR speed;

1333MHz quad-pumped intel FSB speed

and... 667 or 1333 MHz DDR2 speed?

I've had great success with old HP 4000 series lasers. We have one at work from 1996 that we print on every single day and have had no issues whatsoever. We have another one that's a bit newer and...

My wife wants to "upgrade" to Vista and I'm debating about whether to go 32 or 64 bit. Assuming I can get 64 bit drivers for everything, there shouldn't be any issues, right?

Would there be...

I am planning to do a reinstall on one of my machines soon. I want to replace the hard drive that the current OS (Windows XP) is on, and I want to keep the data, but I don't want the computer to try...

That's a HUGE condition; one that the Bible sure doesn't follow.

You can come up with statistics to prove anything. 43% of all people know that.

Is this a joke? You must be rich to be able to afford 4 cars!

Certainly there are people like you and the old lady who drive cars for a long time, but most people don't properly maintain their...

Then who's buying all these new cars? Maybe there is a cultural difference, but people around here generally trade in their car every 3-5 years. They feel "entitled" to a new car. Consumer Reports...

Yes but how many of those cars have had major work? I don't think replacing the battery in a hybrid every 10 years to make it last is unreasonable.

I am at a point/time in my life where I'm really getting my stuff together, so like some others here I am personally experiencing unprecedented prosperity.

However I feel that I, and maybe most...

There are about 195 countries in the world today. Besides, proving that Americans are stupid doesn't prove that non-Americans are not.

If they're the same cables you used with your old modem, then it's probably not the cables either, although cables are cheap so it might be worth trying anyway.

If you've gone through three...

That last point (number 4) raises some alarm bells. It sounds like you may have a crossover cable in the mix. Of course, if you can get to the router then it's not that cable.

Anyway I have had...
