I built a test machine to see what a $100 4850 would do, total cost $380. It won't run a CPU client and a GPU client at the same time, and even with the GPU alone it VPU recover crashes every 1.5 WUs. Very annoying, but considering the cost and that is is self-tapping screwed to a piece of sheet...

How do we beat these guys? I've got $1500 for [H]ardware... 4x 4850 machines?

Macs are for kids! ;)

Current laptop is a W3V and it's just about perfect for me. Two years is a long time for a computer though and it's getting outdated, so I'm starting to look for a new one. Asus retired the platform which sucks because it's hard to find a 14.1" with an aux battery these days.The requirements are...

I am putting my laptop up for sale my Asus laptop. I purchased it from Star Tech just about a year ago (1/18/06) for $2200. Tons of goodies like bluetooth 2.0, DVD w/o booting into windows, brushed aluminum top, SD card reader, SPDIF out... I had it customized with the following specs: CPU...

Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) as a Power4Gear alternative, finally a slick solution! My Asus W3V laptop is about a year old now, and I can confidently say it is one of the best computer purchases I have ever made. The only thing that I have been disappointed in is the Power4Gear utility...

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in my gaming machine (complete, I'm not trying to part it out here) as I am going to collage and don't have room at the apartment for 2 computers. This bad boy PCMark05's at 5064, 3DMark05 at 7196. Here are the specs Thermaltake Armor case...

This is crazy, Mac came out with a duel core Intel based laptop before Dell did. http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/ADC.woa/wo/StoreReentry.wo?family=MacBookPro It is a competitive 1.83 GHz (compared to 1.86 of the standard Centerno) that has 2mb of cache and runs at 667 FSB...

Some questions I have: What are the practical differences between the two types of batteries? NiMh weighs more, no? Does this mean that it has a greater power density? Which has more recharging cycles before it's life starts degrading? Does NiMh get better run times for the size? can you...

I have heard of this but I cant actually find it? Where do you get your hands on a copy of windows XP 64 bit legally? Any one?

Hey guys, I was wondering what type of mini mice you guys are using with your lappy. Just curious.

Is automatic dynamic switching bad for a CPU? I have a 2.0 ghz Pentium M centreno... I am using NHC and it has 3 options, save battery, max performance, or dynamic switching. I assume that dynamic is the best, as it saves battery when I am not using the CPU and it kicks it up a notch when I...

Hey guys, I need a KVM switch that handles USB and can deal with high powered perhipables. Both my keyboard and mouse are designed for gaming (Saitek Eclipse and Logitech MX510) and the each draw close to 500 ma. I tried a USB KVM from Best Buy and the keyboard was drawing too much power, even...

Please help: What does the super pi error message "NOT EXACT IN ROUND" mean? It happes after the 3rd or 4th loop. in overclockers terms, does it need more Vcore? Ram Voltage? Or what? I am 48 hours prime stable. What gives?

Err, what gives? Ive seen this program used hundreds of times on other peoples screnies, so i thought id try it. I have a MSI K8N Neo4 with a 3700 OCed to 2.64. So whats the problem: am I missing something?

Okay guys, I have narrowed this down in my mind, but before I make a decision i would like to hear from you guys. these are all around the same price, that is not the issue. I am mainly going for a smaller, portable laptop that can still handle the occasional CS Source game, but still has a...

I have 2 sets of 6 high brightness LEDs wired up as interior lights in my car. Each light is arranged in 2 strings of 3 with a resistor at the end. I know ohm’s law and I am sure the resistor is correct. Everything was working fine for about 2 weeks until today when I noticed a strobe effect...

I really like the “server” look, my current case is the cc986 raidster ... and it is time for a new computer (AMD this time around). While I was on Thermaltake website, I stumbled on the Armor series, and ive got some questions… Is this a decent case? Please, let me know how it is working...

I have a 2001 volvo s40 1.9t. I purchased the full wiring diagram because I love electroincs. Reading through it it looks like it has 2 boost pressure sensors for the ECU running at 5v logic. Has anyone heard of anyone using one of these sensors for a boost gauge? Or at the very least, does...

UV and Apple are not two things that would usaly go together under any normal circumstance, however, in my shop anything is possable. i noticed the wierdest thing - the blue plastic that Apple uses is UV reactive, while the white is not. heres a pic: the only reason i have the case is...

I recently got my hands on a gen2 IceMat to go with my mx510. this thing rocks - it is made out of glass, has almost 0 friction... the mouse will slide from one end to the other with just a touch. i thought i had found the perfect pad, that is, until my 3rd hour of CS:S. as my hand...

I was cleaning out the basement today and I found an old slide projector, nice optics, working 500w bulb. This has potential! But before I went looking for a color LCD, I tested the concept out with a cheap clock that I had lying around. Here is the setup: old fashion guts: what...

Well, with all this "overclock to beat the auzzies" stuff goin on lol, i have a question is it any better to run FAH in safemode? like because theres no other prosseses stealin cpu time? or is that a bunch of BS and you should alwase boot up in regular windows? not for borgin, but rather...

When you set the console version of FAH to “run automatically on startup as a windows service" does it run when nobody is logged on to a windows 2000/xp machine? or do you have to have a user logged on... I don’t know of a way to check processes with out being logged on. (if it is even possible)...

i was looking around and everyone sais to run 2 copies of FAH with hyperthreading P4... well i wanted some way of automating cpu affinity... what i found is ROPE, or RunOnProcessorExplicitly. it is a small command line app (i.e. can be built into a shortcut, or regestry key) that sets the...

my grandpa just got an electrically actuated gas fireplace. it runs 24v DC through a switch on the wall. i want to add an X10 controller to the fireplace... in theory, i could do 2 things: >put the x10 controller on the low voltage transformer, so that if the switch was on, x10 could turn the...

alright [h]ard... im trying to take a LM3916 logoritmic LED vu meter chip. and hook it up to 4 or 5 cold cathode inverters. im thinking i can gang together 1+2, 3+4, etc, and use a transistor of some sort to switch the 12v. also, i want it to be most responsive to base, so i need an inductor of...
