    What is best MB for win7?

    The last motherboard supported for windows XP is the LGA 1155 which is why I mentioned it as the best. I did not mention a brand though. I was just wondering which motherboard for win 7 is the best and saying one with drivers is not very helpful. I am putting together a rig for win xp, win 7...

    5.1 Budget Speakers

    Not sure if this is helpful but..... Years ago when I was an audiophile 30 years ago, it was found that headphones were just as good as speakers for the price of ten to one. By this I mean that for every ten dollars spent on headphones they were as good as 100 dollar speakers. So maybe invest...

    Razer Naga is acting up

    Is there something in the app for this that has an "auto off" function? I ask because I had a mouse that would turn itself off if it did not detect anything under it. It was a battery saving device. I had to change it from milliseconds to a minute as it became annoying for me. Might be...

    Cleaning a Mech. Keyboard

    Soda has sugar in it and often when it dries it can cause a short circuit. I fix dozens of stereos this way after a coffee spill on them. I simply used a dampish sponge. I pressed the area affected and let it set for a minute to dissolve what was there. There should be a little bit of water on...

    What mic should I get?

    Just as an aside. If you get some cheap foam pads from the dollar store you can cut a piece the size of the mic stand for it to stand on and it will help absorb some keystroke shocks. The pads are often a 1/16 inch thick and can simple be glue on with a little bit of white glue. Don't use to...

    Mouse Middle Button doesn't work anymore?

    Step 1 If it is under warranty then RMA it. Step 2 If it is not then open it up and simply blow on the button inside. Try it with the housing off for now. Step 3 If that does not work then use an old worn toothbrush and very lightly run it over the button. If that does not work then it is...

    How does one get Win9x Update files in 2016?

    I had win95A years ago and was never able to update it to anything higher. A simple mistake for microsoft but it was costly for all of us. Was glad for win98se :) I might look into this because some old games simply won't work for me any longer. Not even on winXP. Hmmmm Got me thinking here...
