I have two old sticks of RAM laying around for old computers that have since been scrapped, but the ram works just fine. I have no need for either of these sticks, but if anyone wants them, they can have them for free. All I ask is that you cover the shipping. First class packet anywhere in the...

I'm using TinyWall firewall on my Windows 10 box. Whenever I go to the Windows control panel and disable Windows Firewall, it stays that way for a short while, then automatically re-enables itself without any intervention on my part. I also have Avira Free anti-virus, and I've...

Hi folks, Our family is in the middle of an ambitious home remodel. We're building a new addition to our existing structure comprised of first and second stories. In the bottom floor, we'll be putting our 70" Sharp TV in the new "Family Room". On the upper floor, or "Office/Den", I'm going...

I previously used ATT on my Radeon, but now that I'm using a 8800GTS from Nvidia I have to wonder if it is worth it installing the program for its tweaking options. Does the ATT suite play nice with Nvidia cards? If not, is there a similar tweaking program out there for the Geforce series?

I often large files to webservers at work/home where file integrity comes into play. For the longest time QuickSFV has done the trick in making sure the hash values check out. http://www.quicksfv.org/ Unfortunately the program refuses to install in Vista 64 as it appears that it is not...

Okay, I've fouled up. I was installing Windows XP in anticipation of my upgrade to Vista 64 and then I made one of the most boneheaded mistakes to date in regards to computers. My previous SATA RAID array was the same size as my IDE hardrive (used for backups). After going through the blue...

http://www.pugetsystems.com/store/item.php?cat=All+Categories&id=4739&com=d41d8cd9 These guys got an excellent review at SPCR. I tried several other vendors, but they were all priced at about twenty bucks a pop. The price was so cheap on these I called up just to make sure that they weren't...

I have a Aspire 5050-4570 running Vista Home Premium. It seems that even with Areo disabled that the computer's run's fairly hot. The fan on the left side blows out hotter air than out of my old Acer. Granted, the CPU speed of 2.2ghz is higher than the 1.5 of old, but even still, this seems like...

The computer in question has two primary modes: Mode A: (Working with web development, games, schoolwork) Mode B: (Downloading/uploading files overnight, moving files on a local network) Mode A actually requires a video feed to see what you're doing (kind of hard to play games while blind!)...

Ok here goes, This will be the second computer I've built from the ground on up. You couldn't say I'm a pro at it, but after doing the first, hopefully it should be a bit easier. None the less, there's a special satisfaction of building your own machine to spec and powering it on for the first...

I'm going to be upgrading to vista64 soon and was wondering which codec pack to download. In the past I've had the feeling that a lot of the packs that are out there are bloated. Several of the sites that I tried to download the installers from even had malware! :mad: Of all the folks who are...

I'm going to be making the delve very shortly to Vista 64. There are always those that swear by vendor supplied drivers and those who prefer after-market ones like Omega drivers. For those of you who have used Vista 64 and have Nvidia cards, which do you prefer? The standard Nvidia ones or...

I'm the proud owner of a new Aspire 5050-4570. My quad-directional scroll button works just fine when trying to move through webpages in Internet Explorer, but when using the button in Firefox 2.0.0.6 it doesn't work at all. I've sent Acer a support request email but have yet to hear back from...

The link in my sig does not seem to be parsed by the PHP. Is that intentional or do I have the tags wrong?

I plan on having a 120mm intake fan in the front of my Antec case. The case offers a standard mesh filter, but I was wondering if you folks recommend an after-market one. Do after-market fan filters offer better airflow/noise reduction due to impedance issues or is this just getting nitty...
