Is it possible to repair the MBR without a windows vista disk. Long story short I deleted my Ubuntu partition on my laptop but Grub seems to still want to boot into Ubuntu. I checked out the error code I got from it (Error 22) and its a problem with the MBR. I have an HP laptop and I just...

Ok its not truly groundbreaking but it got me excited :p Source

Has anyone had any experience with Outpost firewall? I'm running the evaluation copy of windows x64 for now until I'm ready to migrate to vista in the fall and there doesn't seem to be that much in the way of 64 bit firewalls. Just wondering whats the opinion is on Outpost or if there is a...

Link I cant believe this, no online co-op! That was the selling point to me. After playing Gears co-op online I demand nothing less. (who cares what I demand though :p ) As far as it being technically feasible I believe its possible. Someone remind me if I'm wrong but in Halo:CE did the...

Finally some single player media has been released. IMO the jungle environments look superb and I hope the gameplay achieves such a high quality as well. Screens Trailer

Joystiq Don’t know if anyone has seen this yet, but Golden Sun was one of my favourite games for the GBA so I can’t wait for the new one.

Is there a good light weight cooler for C2D? I move my computer around quite a bit to lan parties and don’t want to put unneeded stress on the motherboard. I need something with better cooling then the stock Intel heatsink with the same noise level but at the same time relatively light and...

What is considered a safe voltage for the northridge? I can’t get all 4 memory sticks to work unless I up my NB to at least 1.4 volts and even then its not stable when running a torture test with Prime95. It gets an error and will either halt or restart the machine in about 10 minutes...

I was transferring files between my two computers on a network and in doing so I had to use that stupid network setup wizard in XP. Now I’m paranoid that people are going to be able to access everything on my computer when I go to lan parties. Is there any way to delete the network I set...

Does anyone know of a good range extender for an 802.11b router? Right now I can’t get a strong signal from my basement to the top floor of my house. Preferably I would just like to upgrade my router as this one is getting old IMO but I don’t know if that would solve my problem.

Ok I understand that Halo 3 multiplayer is what a large portion of fans want to hear about, but I haven’t heard anything about the single player yet. (that’s a slight exaggeration) They are releasing the game in a couple months and have had virtually no information on single player. It’s no...

Just wondering what everyone uses for their daily business. I’ve heard many times that you shouldn’t run as administrator and yet I still do. Maybe its time to change.

Do you Antec p180 owners find that your bottom of the case gets enough cooling without a fan there? I decided to install the fan in the upper part of the case and have the 120mm fan on my PSU suck the air into the bottom cage. I currently have one hard drive in there but I would like to...

This post might make more sense if you see this picture Link Im talking about the 8 pin CPU power connector. Does it matter if I use an 8 pin or 4 pin connection if im doing a small amount of overclocking? I ran into the problem of my 2x4 pin cables not having enough length to reach the top...

I’m not sure if everyone has heard that Sony finally launched their official blog. IMO this is a good move by Sony but I was somewhat surprised to read their two latest posts. They are much different then the Sony I am used to reading about for the last 2 years. To me this is a much...

I’m building a new C2D system and I decided to pick up a 500gb drive for the main OS and I was wondering if I should switch the windows swap file onto a partition on my old 74gb raptor. Would I notice a difference in performance? Right now I have a 4gb partition on another drive while I use my...

My bro bought a new computer the other day without asking me what would be a good system. Unfortunately the computer has an integrated graphics card and won’t run Age of Empires 3 (the only game he wants to play). So I’m trying to find a card that will run on a 300watt PSU...

I have an OCZ GameXStream 700w and I noticed today when looking at some motherboard reviews for my new system that the 8 pin cables won’t be long enough to route so they the wiring is nice and clean. In any normal case they would be fine, but I got a P180 and having the 8 pin connections...

Seems like there is a little disagreement between Microsoft and Epic over whether the new map pack should be free. Link If you ask me Microsoft already made a lot of money off Gears of War, it sold a ton of consoles for them, and to want Epic to charge for a map pack is a bit greedy. (but...

Im building my new system in a p180, and I just installed one of the DVD drives. I've noticed it seems a bit wiggly. Is this normal? I’ve always just been able to screw the 5.25” drives to the case itself but with these drive rails it seems less secure and as if it will be a little bit...

Just wondering if anyone has any good strategies in CnC they would be willing to share. I’ve only played as GDI so far because it’s got the least micro and seems like a good faction to learn the game with. I still haven’t got a really good build order down with them yet...

The Folding@Home client seems to have been a good PR move for Sony, does anyone else think that Microsoft will follow through and have Stanford create a client for the 360. I’m all for it, the more the better. If anyone hasnt seen the stats so far here they are I actually think it...
