I have acquired a second monitor and would like to use it to run dual

My DVD burner is giving me troubles. Recently I was doing a backup of my
hard-drive and it complained right after lead-out that the burning was done

event I wasn't able to burn anything.

I have a Compaq Presario (unfortunately) and I'm looking to buy screws to
install and additional hard disk. The usual type of hard disk screws

I am about to move into a new home in two weeks and I have been trying

In a few years we'll all have boxes with like... 8-12 USB ports.
Hopefully, all native to the board.  I'm sick of installing those little
PCI USB cards, and looking for the perfect USB hub.  It doesn't make

How can I tell the difference between a power supply problem and a hard
drive problem? Sometimes the computer freezes up and it has to be

I'm about to buy a "A8N-SLI Deluxe". What I'm wondering is this, If I also
buy a "Athlon64 3800+ : rev E" is it possible to mount the cpu and then
