I can't get this joystick to work in XP, it just won't detect when i plug it into any of my USB ports. Has anyone had luck getting this joystick working? Oh yeah XP RC2 is what i'm using right now.

Good Processor Idling Application

Gemfire James
I need to know of some good CPU Idling programs, ones that help keep the cpu idle as much as possible, I can't find any and I don't know if CPU Idle actually does just that or not. .

X-bit labs has posted a review on the ABIT Siluro T400 64MB Graphics Card. We reviewed one of the today´s best NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 400 based graphics solutions from ABIT. The main trump of this graphics card is certainly its superior overclockability: we managed to make it run stably at 240MHz memory and core frequency.

Machine Rounded Cables

GideonTech has posted a review on a set of floppy,IDE and SCSI rounded cables. These machine rounded cables are a little stiffer than the traditional flat and hand rounded variety. The plastic covering is most likely the culprit here.

I am Not a Geek has posted a review on the Samsung DVD-V1000 DVD player. Another option in the DVD Setup menu worth looking at is something called Dynamic Compression. What it does it is constrains the dynamic range difference between the quietest and loudest passages of a DVD sound track.

Motherboard Recommended

RussellWild
Hello - I'm looking for an upgrade motherboard which supports AMD's Athlon (probably 1. 4GHz) and PC2100 DDR RAM. I've looked at a few Asus ones so far. Can anyone here recommend a good motherboard which supports both these, and works well with XP? (especially ACPI/Hibernate etc).

Suggestion for NTComp.

Atreyu
Ya know what would be nice. . . To be able to click on a print icon within any reply in a forum, and as a result, print that selected reply only. For example, right now I'm reading SHS's post: If I wanted to print out this post by itself, I'd have to copy and paste it into Word or something, then print.

DFI AK76-SN Review

Philipp

Digit-Life has posted a review on the AMD-760 based DFI AK76-SN motherboard. The board suits well the conception of an entry-level workstation as it´s specified for AMD760 based mainboards. Everything that is useless in a serious work - AC´97 sound, RiserCard slot - is not realized.
