Running Business 32-bit on my main machine, and I have a dual monitor setup. I regularly play WoW maximized on one monitor and have several windows open (with Aero enabled, mind you). As far as I can tell, there's no significant difference between average framerates with windows open on my...

Just got my new laptop yesterday, and I'll be installing Stalker on it this weekend. Has a Go 7600 and 2GB of RAM, so I'm hoping it should run well enough.

Methinks you should invest in a cheap 10/100 switch.

Kind of sort of OT, but has the automated system ever worked for anybody? The robot *always* tells me that it couldn't validate my confirmation number when I do upgrades (I work for a small computer shop). Never once have I had success without talking to a living, breathing human being...

I have never used ISOBuster, but it looks like it might do what you need it to do. It is not free, however, and I am almost positive you can't actually recover data with the demo. I guess it depends on whether it's worth $30 to recover the data. Somebody know of a similar but free program?

It's cooled down a bit this evening, but it got to be almost 32c in my room today. Anyway, here is what I came up with... Core 2 Duo E6600 at stock settings Retail Intel HSF Intel D975XBX mobo Antec P180 (side opened, case fans on medium setting) Room temp = 28-30c Internal temp =...

I went wih the G.Skill for my D975XBX for the same reason -- the OCZ is a bit cheaper but I didn't want to have to chance it. So far (only about a day now) everything has been good.

Here is the link to Upgrade Advisor and the Vista RC1 download...

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1075792 This is probably your best bet. The guys in the Intel processors forum have put together a database of C2D overclocks, the mobos they used, cooling method, etc.

You could always try to run Prime95/Memtest for a day or two and see if you have any problems. However, since it's only occuring when gaming and you aren't seeing any artifacting from the card (this is an assumption on my part since you didn't mention any artifacting) it very well could be the...

I haven't seen any roadmaps, but a price drop is always likely shortly after new processors release. Since the new Kentsfield chips come out later this year, you're probably lokking at about Christmas.

FWIW, it isn't that there are thousands of *incompatible* applications that is the "problem". I think what Shabby means to say is that most programs are compiled/optimized for 32-bit architecture. That said, Windows XP 64-bit edition runs 32-bit applications with negligible difference in...

Here is the bookshelf I found in the dumpster of Office Max this past winter. It had a defective tag on it that stated that the legs were uneven. It's kinda sad that they just threw the thing away because one leg was an inch longer than the rest. It's even sadder that the original purchaser...

Dell E1505 here... Core Duo 2.0GHz, 1GB memory, 80GB hard drive, DVD burner, UltraSharp display, etc...

My new desktop sized down from 1920x1200 (click for fullsize image): Using rainmeter (moxa-weather and Pi squared) for vital stats and Launchy in lieu of the start menu for application launching.
