I just wanted to comment on silencios' signature! :thumbs:

Thank You very Much!

I found your replys very instructive. I just now noticed that my PCs' activity light is not blinking like my cable modem light (i just got the router). Im not paranoid about...

Im a tad weak in networking issues, so please be patient.
Im on a cable ISP, and have much activity on my modem (activity light) even when im doing nothing. It seems to me that my PC is being pinged...

I was pleased with the newegg shipping time, 2 days standard from California to Illinois. I really dont care about speed as much a cost. It cost me 32 dollars to ship a case, 2 KBs, a mouse, modem,...

Greetings all,

I like to shop newegg.com for computer hardware (good value), but its too far away (California/New Jersey) and shipping is very expensive! Does anyone know a "good value" hardware...

I would never Pay $10 a month to play online games. Thats too much a year. I would Pay about $50 a Year, IF I like the game, AND they Garn-Teed NO CHEATING by anyone! I would pay money for CHEAT FREE...

I thinks so. The mouse I returned was a Plain Jane White Wheel Mouse. The one I have now (MX 300) is Blue Wheel w/ a small "Fourth" Button (because Wheel is Third Button). It advertises an "MX...

I have finally found the solution to my problem. I purchased the logitech model that cost a few more dollars. It advertises a faster "MX engine", now I can play as fast as i want. Thanks for the help...

Interesting observation relick.....we all know not to use optical mice on mirror surfaces right? I also remember seeing the first generation of "optical mice" on sale...they displayed them on...

The Optical mouse I tried (I returned it already) was a Logitec USB wheel mouse. It was bout $17 US. I tried basically Two different surfaces.....a vinyl pad with a Dark image but containing lighter...

So, can your hand "Out-Pace" these mice?

I tried my First Optical mouse, a basic Logitec model. The cursor (or crosshairs) moved smooth and accurately. However, if i moved my hand Quickly, the mouse chokes. Is there a good optical mouse...

What does it mean when an AMD cpu is called a "Thorougbred".

Also: Retail or OEM....I know the box is part of it, but whats the warranty difference?

I think I know what your driving at...OK.

Im gonna start "affordable", and If that dont work, Ill send it back for "Higher End".

Thanks for the support...Im Out.

Ill share my newegg.com...

P.S. ONE LAST ?...All the XP MOBOs indicate 200/266/333 Mhz FSB speed....BUT the Pentium MOBOs indicate 400/533 Mhz!

Isnt the faster numbers better?????

You know something?....I think Im going to do just that!
I could use the extra money for case and PSU.

I may choose a different model number though.

If I dont get it running in a week...newegg...

I would get a new case and power supply.

AMD prices are hard to refuse....but my time has become more valuable lately.

Would you call MSI MOBOs "low end"?...or just ECS & PChips?
Im not...

That was the impression I got from new egg.
I noticed that there are some nice prices on ASUS motherboards. And video cards are reasonable.

Im sure your right about the AMD...but...Im sooo scared...

I can relate in principal...I used to purchase low end electronics like "pyramid"...mainly cause I can fix or solder anything that uses electricity.

Learning curve for debugging computers is just...

Im not a PC expert...but I have A LOT of electronics experience!

Some of my hardest learned lessons taught me this:

RIBBON CABLES w/ CRIMPED IDE HEADERS FAIL!
CONNECTORS CAN DRIVE YOU INSANE !...

TWO THings:

Heres my intended usage:

Play online 3D games (D3D & OGL)
Some CAD applications 3D and 2D types.
Using Windows 98SE
GeForce2 or GeForce4 AGP
Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Value PCI...

I MADE A MISTAKE !!!!!!

I was confusing your "MSI" with the "ECS" I saw on Price Watch....That would make a difference in both of our opinions wouldnt it?

OOOPs!...I may consider this "MSI"
...

Your words are very compelling, lots of people use XPs..hmmm.

Recommend an afordable ASUS or SOYO XP combo ????

Im mostly interested in "NO ISSUES", then speed, then price.

Thanks

Hmmmm...boy..Im really afraid of GOOD PRICES!

Ive burned myself too often because of "Good Prices"

Theres always been a reason it was cheap!

my last AMD project had "issues" (Irongate,...

I have just given up on a PC and looking for another MOBO/CPU combo. This was cheapest first NON PCchips MOBO with P4 combo I found on Price Watch.

Does this MOBO have any SNAFUs I should be aware...
