    Bigger QWERTY keyboard needed!

    I have a professor who is extremely prone at fat-fingering stuff (His words, not mine!) As such, I've decided to try and find him a keyboard with larger keys... All the ones I've thusly seen are obscene-looking and expensive as hell... It'd be cheaper/easier to just steal the pcb out of an...

    Noob question about Dividers and RAM

    I'm upgrading the rig in my sig... and I'm going with a Core 2 Duo that runs @ 1066 fsb. The specs on the motherboard lists it as taking DDR2-800 RAM... I know back in the day, DDR400 with a 800 mhz FSB cpu was running 1:1. Is the same true with DDR2-800 and a 1066 FSB? Thanks!

    Weird moving "band" during gaming

    I have a Samsung 710N... When I play certain games, I have a horizontal band moving slowly vertically on my screen. Its not like a solid color, its just an entity moving across the screen... like watching a CRT refresh when a camera is on it. I can usually get it to stop by making the game...

    Graphics speeding up, 7800 GT issue?

    I'm not really sure whats happening... I know this was happening with my ATI x800 XL and now with my 7800 GT, so I guess I can't pin it upon the hardware. But I definetly can't figure it out... Any 3d applications I try and play/run seem to, on occassional, all of a sudden go into warp speed...

    K8N Neo 4 Plat - X2 only showing 1 CPU

    I tried a search, but whenever I use X2, 1, or one, the search cites them as being too short and cuts them out, so I don't know what to search for. I previously had an Athlon 64 3000+ in my MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum, and then upgraded to an X2. The BIOS wasn't reading the CPUID correctly, so I...
