XP sv 2 isn't detecting an ethernet cable when hooked up to my router. Help?

Find your motherboard's chipset number for internet, then google that, and get it's drivers and boom.

So I decided to get a more expensive tablet by jumping my price range up, actually more than I wanted to be quite honest.  I started at 200-300 budget, ended up at 400-500 rofl.

Great choice, the transformer series are the best tablets IMO.
Would've been better to get the prime, but the pad is good

Hmm, you'd need something with a good sound card and a good processor.
What else are you planning on doing with this computer? What is your budget?

I'm getting that laptop then selling the 360 for a 100 to my dads friend, I wanted the 670 one but it was 200 dollars more so forget that

so I've decided if I ever upgrade my rig, I'll build a new one with GTX 670s in 3-way SLI. It would be a nice upgrade from my 580, look cooler, and perform similar to a 690 for around the same price point.

So today I went to a local Starbucks and asked some people why they chose Mac/Apple. Most of them said "It's a better computer" or "The OS is the greatest", "It's better looking",  etc. I then explained that the hardware you can buy is better for a lower price, you can install the OSX on a Windows computer, and that the looks are not forever -- you can buy a new case. For example, a $600 computer you made yourself would have way better specs than a Mac Pro, for half the price. Plus, you don't have a very high level of customization if you buy Apple. Why do people think Macs are better?

[suburb]

Look appeal.

[Darkness ZXW]

You can buy an Apple case?

[suburb]

Not really since anything apple is soldered into place.
