    With these coming out, the price on the Seagate FreeAgent Pro 1TB would be going down, for which I have been waiting for. The Xtreme looks nice: http://freeagent.seagate.com/en-us/hard-drive/external-hard-drive/Free-Agent.html

    Monitors, what's good, what isn't?

    I just bought my first LCD (widescreen too) and I'm liking it, but the the quality wasn't the same like my 17" CRT, in other words, CRT quality is so much better. I'm enjoying playing Assassin's Creed, Crysis, RB6: Las Vegas on the widescreen. The one I got is 2053BW, don't know the difference...

    MB doesn't identify my sata

    I have an old MB that wouldn't detect my SATA HD, so I wasn't able to install WinXP. My HD is a seagate, did some searching and found out the I had to have a software on a diskette in the computer before I boot. The software is for the MB to detect the SATA to the HD. When you are booting up...

    Opinion on new build

    Playing on 24" or even 22" might be to much when playing games. Wouldn't you end up swinging your head alot? But then again, I can a TV tuner or hook up a satellite. Beside Samsung 2253BW, is there one at 20" that doesn't stretch games? If that is the only one, for sure I would get that. The...

    Microsoft Security Bulletin for February 2008 Released

    K, it's fixxed. At first I did a system restore and that didn't work, so it couldn't have been the MS update. Google search and found out just to double click the boarder of Task Manager, simple, duh. That made the difference of the boot time. :toast:

    Microsoft Security Bulletin for February 2008 Released

    I don't know about everyone else but this update extremely slowed my boot time and changed my task manager by removing all my tabs, so I can't even exit or minimize. Only at the task bar. Any one else had this problem?
