Weird Router Issue - No Internet

My router has the same problem. The problem is the gateway,, for me at least. What I had to do, was build my own gateway using a slack 9.1 system, then hoooking it up to the switch part of the router.

Maxtor or Seagate?

I would definitely say seagate, I've had lots of bad experiences with maxtor drives, but I have yet to have a problem with any of my seagate drives, and they're much more quiet than the maxtor drives also. Seagate is definitely the better way to go.

Monitoring temperature

I've always had motherboard monitor open on my system, well, for a long time at least. But I've always had difficulty trying to figure out how hot my graphics card was, and would just try to rely on the case temperature to see if it was getting hotter. I was wondering if there's some sort of...

AMD stock fan, is it quiet ?

Uhh, definitely go zalman, I have mainly thermaltake stuff, and even though I love it, and it cools great, it is most definitely not silent. But from my experiences with zalman stuff, it's got great cooling, and is also dead silent.

Cooling graphics card with 120mm

In my case, I recently(about 3 months back) mounted a 120mm fan right next to my graphics card, and currently I have it blowing out. It moves a lot of air, and it a great fan, but I was thinking that maybe I could get better cooling if I had it blowing in. Do you think that it would cool better...

Questions about new high-end comp

You want a top of the line system? Pc Gamer magazine recently released a review of the new falcon-nw system, and it got the highest scores they've ever gotten so far. I would also go alienware, a friend of mine had an alienware, and still has it, and the customer support is exceptional. But if...

9800 Pro

I'm buying a new system with an AMD 3200+ 64 with a gig of DDR400, and I don't know what type of graphics card I should get. I was planning on getting a 9800 pro from all the good things I've heard from them. What type of 9800 pro do you think I should get? Or do you think I should get a...

Is my stem dead?

If you think you burned the CPU, you can always take off the heatsink from the top of it, and smell it. I've burnt quite a few components in my life, and I've never had a problem telling whether it was burnt or not from a simple smell test. I think DieHardware is right though, if you left the...

Thinking of upgrading - Oh, to duallie or not???

That's an interesting question. The 64 is built so that multi-tasking can be at it's highest. But dual processors are really nice for heavy loads as well. So, if you're not planning on gaming on your system, or anything besides your number crunching and basic applications, then I would suggest...

Will I need a new heatsink and fan?

Well, I can't find any information on the coolermaster heatsink that you have. But other than that, if you buy your processor retail it will come with a heatsink that will provide adequate cooling unless you want to overclock. You could always test it out with your coolermaster sink, and if it...

URGENT Mobo Help Needed.

Tostada - really? I've never had any problems switching out hard drives to new boards, when windows loads it will normally take a few reboots of having to load up all the new drivers, but I've never had a problem switching out motherboards.

sapphire 9800pro vs ati 9800pro

Stick to the Ati! trust me here. I have a sapphire graphics card, and I've had nothing but problems from day one. At first I thought it was just me, but recently I had been talkiing to a few people from the anandtech forums, and they all agreed with me. Everybody that I have talked to about...
