    iPad "offline" mode

    Sorry if this has been answered, but I did some searching around and I had trouble finding stuff. I'm contemplating getting an iPad, one of the major uses being to read while I ride the bus to and from work. However, I don't want to pay for a data plan...I have a blackberry and wanted to...

    Desktop connection dropping

    hey everyone, tried searching but I'm having trouble finding someone with an issue that displays the same symptoms as mine does. Maybe my google is weak today. Anyway, my desktop's connection is being flaky, dropping every 5 or less minutes for about 5ish minutes at a time before reconnecting...

    Losing water, but not through a leak?

    So when I refilled my loop when getting back from school, I filled the res all the way and just let it run for a bit. I normally sit there and turn everything around to get the air pockets out, but I was going somewhere, so I just filled the res to the top. Usually, as the air bubbles bleed...

    Disappointing Disk Performance

    I've got a box on a fast line running torrents, I have a disk overloading problem, but looking at the disk statistics, the problems seems to be that the disk is not writing the data out of the cache. It seems to build it up until the cache is filled or the torrent finishes, then it begins to...

    FSB Overclocking

    Kind of hard coming up with a title for this thread, but I think that kind of works. So if I were to test a certain FSB on my setup and find that it's stable, i.e. 421×6. Logically..if I were to bump my multi to 9.5 my tweaks would be focused around the processor. I know overclocking isn't...

    Looking into water, some questions..

    I've done some reading around and read various walk through and FAQ's, but for some reason things just aren't as clear as I'd like to be after this much research..so excuse me if my questions are stupidly obvious and can easily be answered if I went and looked harder, because chances are I just...

    Dual booting SMP

    Anyone try dual booting with the SMP client? I got a friend who's running XP and Vista ( Vista for games and XP because his Vista has stability issues and weird quirks ) and it seems like dual booting is feasible because the same .exe is used for both operating systems. I'm thinking all I have...

    Yet another please-look-over-the-build thread

    I have 1000 dollars, please build me comp to run crysis at max. .....just kidding. One of my friends down the hall is assembling a new rig. He's pulling out his hard drive and reusing all the peripherals, all we need is tower and innards. He does medium amount of gaming, but we're...

    Draft Build: Gaming/Modeling/Design Box

    I know Crysis isn't out yet...but I don't think the current generation will be able to run it full, much less just one of them. I don't really have qualms about anything beyond that, except the Asus board's price tag is scary. :( But if you use all that stuff, then go for it.

    Input on new Gaming Rig requested

    Should be fine, if we use the TDP numbers for the two top drawing components it's 185ish for the 8800GTX and 105/95 for the Q6600. Soo..300 or so for the bulk of the system. edit [H] servers re-syncing time or something? this is weird.

    Bad sticks?

    I'm mostly just checking for confirmation from you guys, anyway I'll keep it short and to the point. I have 2×1GB of a version of OCZ's PC2-6400 ( OCZ2SOE8002GK ), they're not working with either one stick or both. I have 2×512MB of PC2-4200 from Mushkin and they work, one stick or both. I...

    S12 Clicks

    My computer was making an annoying clicking sound after I first started it up (thus, new build). So I stuck my head around and poked at all the fans until I was sure it was coming from the power supply. I pulled it out of the case and looked. The sound was akin that of a cable getting in...

    Two OCZ Kits

    Okay, this seems like a rather lame question...but I couldn't find a thread that was similar to this. If I posted in the other "Which PC2-6400 kit" thread, I would probably be called on for dragging the thread off topic. Soo...this is quick and easy...

    AM2 memory controller

    http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/mainboard/ddr2-800-am2.html Not sure if these was widely known information, but I just read through the article today (well, I just got the newsletter today :p). New memory controller seems to be able to support DDR2 and then stops there. Maybe we all...

    $400 bucks and feeling a bit lazy =)

    Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a LCD to replace this clunky old CRT. 19" sure weigh a lot when you're dragging it around to LANs and this thing (I'm sure) adds a couple degrees to my room, which kind of sucks during summertime.. Anyway, my senior year is coming to an end. Time to head...

    high end or low end RAM?

    This question is a little different..and may seem stupid (well, it doesn't seem stupid in my head right now..but it might later). I see all these suggestions all the time for high end memory for those big budget builds. However, say one of these guys says that they're not planning on...

    Power..stuff

    Not really sure where this would go...subforum wise. What exactly is thermal power design? and if it relates to power consumption...how does it? Just want to try to figure out exactly what these reviews are talking about when they mention TDP and stuff. Also, can anyone kind of explain the...

    buying stuff

    Okay guys...I didn't want to get in trouble for putting this in the FS/T forum...so I guess this is the next best thing. Basically...guy buys dell..and flame flame flame...he could've saved lots of $$$...soo..anyway...other guy starts making up prices. They sound pretty rediculous, but what...

    Anything on the radar?

    Planning on system upgrade when M2 is released, should be about the sametime I head off for college. At least I hope so..boo for delays. Anyway, I just noticed how my current hard drive capacity is getting a little tight. So I figured that I'd start with the very first part around November...

    HP rig

    So here it is....my dad's coworker has a problem with her HP, it doesn't turn on. No flickering...no running anything...but mobo light goes on. The only clue, that I've seen, is that the green on the back of the power supply blinks whenever I plug in the power cable. I've checked the...

    yay computers

    Had to tell someone...and none of my friends are hardcore enough. :cool: :D Went on a (people to people student ambassadors if anyone cares) trip the the british isles, and met a bunch of people there...anyhow..I had to make my F@H pitch once we got home. I've got one so far, out of 15ish...

    Another IC7-G Northbridge fan thread...

    Yep..mines is dying too -_- I have a Zalman ZM-NB32J, I modded it on another board with paperclips so I can get it to fit on this one. However, I also have a XP-90..and there doesn't look to be much clearance. Anyone have ideas/alternatives? and can anyone tell me if it will actually...

    overclocking...problems

    ok...this seems like a rather easy question...but I just wanted to check anyway. Every once in a while, 4-5 hours so far, the computer will just lock up. Everything freezes, it can be while on aim, while listening to music, while browsing, etc. So I doubt it's because I'm stressing it...

    new mobo

    ok...I need to get a new mobo...not new everything. I was thinking the P4C800-E Deluxe..but it's oddly overpriced, at least to me it seems, whoa Had some other ideas and did some reading, but a lot of the reviews and comparisons are horribly outdated. >< Sooo....anyone got any ideas...
