tried and it doesnt work. maybe I need to change its configuration or something ??
so you are saying I can just buy a switch and connect it to any port on the 4 port router ??
I tried ANOTHER 4 port router with uplink port and this one is slow too. its the exact same model as my fast router just earlier version. checked the speed with just the router and one computer.
Yes you’d need to configure ip addresses/subnets so they appear to be of the same network and add custom route configs on the router directly connected to your modem so it can transfer all packets directed to the 8 port subnet to where it belongs.
Connecting a switch to the one of the router’s ports should also work. You might need to make custom configurations like if you added a router but I’m not 100% sure if it does stuff automatically.
Hi guys,
So im looking to get a new computer. I pretty much want to play team fortress 2 and starcraft 2 (when it comes out).
I was looking at these two at Fry’s:
I know that im gonna have to get a video card for either of these.
my questions are is the first one worth the extra 100
and i was also wondering how much these things might heat up cause the cases dont have any spots on them where i can add in extra fans.
if either of these are no good any recommendation as to what i should be looking for?
thanks in advance.
so how do to configure that ?? is there a tutorial or something ? (google searched no luck lol)
Was thinking of picking this baby up when i get some money in my pocket http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127313 or is there a nvidia equalivent too it? Or should i really wait for the next batch of cards come in?
Its kinda hard to explain… whats the IP address u get when you connect a computer to your modem directly?
Well the HDD is bigger by 100 gigs on the first one and a slightly better CPU.
If you can survive with a 400 gig HDD I would get the second one and use the $100 you save on a video card.
However you probably should be looking at core 2 duo based PC’s. Not sure if you can find them in that price range though.

thanks for the advice.
i thought the amd x2 dual-core was fairly equivalent to the core 2 duos. is intel making better chips right now or are better for gaming ect?
I’m not really a hardware buff, but pretty much everything I’ve read has indicated that the Core 2 Duo > * right now.
The Intel chips are better in all regards plus they are easy to overclock.
long story short…
my cousin who doesnt know how to use a laptop… if i dont let him on my laptop… he’ll whine and then i get yell at… so i let him on.
hes been using it for a couple months… and when he shut off or when hes in a hurry… he’d hold the power button and then all the shit get erased and shit. hes been doing this whenever hes in a hurry to go outside to play…
he download all kids games on the laptop that it slow the laptop down… i deleted most of it…
my question is… how do i get my laptop from viruses and make it fast again…? what ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM do u guys recommend…?
If you’ve been owned, you’re better off reformatting. You’re just playing a guessing game at that point as to whether or not you’ve been rootkitted or keyloggered.
This is why you set him up a second user account with no admin privileges.
i dont have the cds for the laptop… is there a way for me reformat without cds but just the laptop itself…?
Borrow a friend’s CD.
so any cds from any comps should work…?
like i can use the cds i use to reformat my desktop to reformat my laptop…?
yeah, any will work
there might be a second hard drive, depending on the brand. look for some kind of backup utilities in your start menu.
or take a sceren shot of everything in your start menu, and post it up. there MIGHT be something. i know HP/COmpaq has them.
and i will give a third opinion saying that C2D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> X2… (this is also coming from a hardcore AMD fanboy, who only has had AMD until NOW, where i have a C2D)
Hey I need a quick response to this guys.
Putting together the new system I just bought and am hooking up the computer case cables (HDD LED, Power Switch, etc) to the motherboard. Do I have to put these cables in a certain way so the positive and negative parts match? I can’t remember the way I put it in before in my old system, and am afraid of booting it up only to fry the motherboard.
My case is a Thermaltake Armor, and the motherboard is an abit IP35. The cables themselves don’t have a label; all I have is an arrow pointing on one side (which I THINK means positive, but not sure). Does someone know for sure?
The positive ones should be connected to the positive pins and the same goes for the negatives. You can’t fry the mobo by putting them on backwards (I’ve done it before). The motherboard manual should tell you what goes where, but they should also be color coded.
Anyone here have experience with Antec computer cases? My current POS case is driving me nuts, it sounds like a jet engine that is about to take off. The reason it is Antec is because these are the best ones I have seen in person at my local Fry’s. I may just pick one up, I hate ordering parts online and would rather go to an actual store for returns/exhanges.
Thanks for any input.
Got 2 Antec cases in my house, both are great. Sonata III downstairs, very very quiet, cant hear nothing from it. 900 upstairs, still quite quiet, great case but it has the PSU mount at the bottom which isnt to my liking, still glad I got it for my personal PC tho. Antec are a good make, as long as you find one thats your style you should be very happy with it.
Anyone know how I can get sound through my plasma TV speakers when using a DVI to HDMI cable? The audio in’s are only supported on component and VGA channel on my TV. Is there a way for me to get sound with this setup?
Hope I dont have to buy seperate speakers
