Alright... I have been chugging along with a Gravis Gamepad Pro (USB) for a few years now. I have been struggling with needing to upgrade, because even though I am partial to the 4-button controller, I would like force feedback, more control. With that said, I have tried some out there: 1...

Hey All.. Ok. I think I am finally going to pony up some funds and delve into the world of getting a DVD drive for my rig. I have been chugging along with my Lite-On CDRW with no worries, but I have been getting friends of mine giving me data on DVD-ROMs that I cannot read/access with my...

Ok - I have come across an old 17" CompUSA monitor (CRT) from way back in the day. I say well over 4 years old, but it is still chuggin with no signs of wear at all. Now, the question - is there an app/method I can use to determine what the maximum refresh rate allowed on this monitor would...

Hey... Just wondering, is Cacheman really worth installing on your rig if you have 1GB of Ram (PC2700) w/Win2KPro? I have been trying to eliminate some unneeded, and unneccesary apps on my rig that take up resources, and I am not sure it this utility helps out that much when you have over...
