    Laptop LCD going crazy...

    Ok, so this has happened in the past, and gone away, but now it's back and it's really pi$$ing me off. I have an idea of what it is, but I wanted to see what the consensus is. This starts within 10 minutes of having the laptop on. I can hook up an external LCD without any problems...

    New Mobo for Wilamette

    So I have a P4 1.7 256k/400MHz that is running on a Dell 4300 Stock PC133 board right now. I want to upgrade the mobo and RAM to utilize the 400MHz FSB, but I am unsure of how to determine mobos can use Wilamette P4s. Most say IntelP4 or specify as being able to use Prescott. Any good...

    How much could I get for this??

    But I'd be installing the software w/ my info and then selling the comp as-is. So I'm not really re-distributing the software as whoever buys the computer will be unable to re-install the software... Is this illegal? DK

    Lookin to upgrade the old fella...

    Well, if I do decide to go barebones, what are some recommendations? And with the whole 32 vs 64 bit, i've read it's not really worth it to go with the AMD64 yet. Any opinions? And likewise, i still have to decide the P4/AMD thing. But I'm more looking for MB brands. I'd like to have at...
