    Microsoft is retiring the TechNet Subscription service

    its bloody annoying. I use technet in order to test products I end up deploying and supporting for customers. I'm looking at the Microsoft Partner Program and Action Pack subscriptions. But it doesn't have licenses for older OS's and lots of my customers use, xp, win7, win2k3 etc.

    Considering coolers - someone convince me please!

    Considering coolers - someone convince me please!

    Okay I went with the H50-1 and also ordered the filter I was talking about to stop dust on the inlet at the rear. Should be delivered tomorrow so will have a go at installing it then. The corsair vid for installation was good.

    5850 unable to max out... WoW???

    Try the WoW addon tweakwow. I use it with my i7-860 to enable all the cores. Restart of WoW required afterwards. Before it, I saw 100% usage on core 1. Now i see slightly lower usage but on 4 cores. (its set to 8 in the tool so seems to halve the number you set it too, weird). It certainly...

    best P55 motherboard?

    I am considering a TRUE or the Megahalems provided they will fit in my P193. Quick hunt around doesn't show any bolt thru's in the uk yet, but the Scythe Ninja II supports 1156 I see. Anyone using one?

However as soon as I installed the Catalyst drivers (latest from ATI site 8.66 RC6) windows boots and the monitor goes straight into Power Save mode as if the frequency is too high or something. I can boot into safe...
