Anyone else having problem with FF4 using a bunch of memory. With about 10 tabs open, after a full day of use the memory usage gets up to about 1.2 gigs worth! I did some googling and found some people claiming it could do with ad block plus. So I just now disabled it and waiting to see...

Does anyone know of a way to find a cache of a forum with multiple pages. I am trying to recover a large 40 page thread that has since been taken down. Google only comes up with about 6 of the pages. Is there any way to do a search for more of these?

So...I was un-RARing the new Adobe CS5 from my University download software page...and I got up to go get a drink. When I returned I saw my computer had apparently restarted and it hangs for 30 seconds (blank with '_' character upper left) I got an extremely weird error saying "BOOTMGR is...

I just purchased an OCZ 120GB vertex SSD from a member here, and am trying to plan out how I will go about the switch. Currently, I only have a Win7 Upgrade disc - so in order to use it I would have to have a pre-existing OS installed on the SSD. This is a problem! Is there any way to just...

I have been contemplating getting a netbook. And the only way I can really justify getting one is if I could use it as a portable HTPC and load XBMC on it. I looked at my local best buy and noticed none of the ones they offer have an HDMI port. I did some googling and found out a select few...

I have been installing seedboxes for friends for little over a year now and would like to share this easy step by step installation procedure for everyone. This is mostly for record keeping for me by if it helps anyone in the future then so be it. This is assuming you are installing on a...

I have a seedbox setup under debian with 4 users whom all have FTP access. I can't for the life of me figure out how to restrict each user only to their own download folder. the server is setup like this: /HOME /user1 /user2 /user3 /user4 when a user logs into their FTP...

Preferably the WD Caviar series, but others will do as long as they are not over 2 years old. I need to start archiving my BluRay Rips.

I have an unused Antec TruePower Quattro 850w PSU, got it less than 2 weeks ago from the Egg. Pic shows 80 Plus but this one is 80 Plus Bronze, not sure what the difference is. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371009 NewEgg retails for $150 + shipping - this package has...

Looking for a gently used PSU of quality brand at 750w or more. Crossfire ready would be a huge plus.

I have an antec 500w PSU I got from Frys a few weeks ago which was originally going to power 1 4890. I came across a second one and just popped it in a week ago without considering if the PSU could handle it. The frys guy had said it would handle crossfire but what does he know. What are...

I have a few questions: I am wanting to replace my modded XBOX with XBMC in my bedroom with something that can deliver HD content to my TV. Here are my options as I see them: 1. Buy the WDTV. Right now I have a popcorn hour A-110 and I love it, but for my bedroom I want something super...

Not talking about the web browser, but the actual file explorer window. Is there a good replacement? The one thing I really like about MacOS is their file browser, how you can customize it to allow for multiple "pane" windows, you know what I mean? Is there any good looking, clean interface...

I am on the prowl for a long HDMI cord to hookup from PC to TV. If anyone has some laying around not being used please LMK. Or, if anyone knows a good website with some cheap cheap prices holler at me XD

So I just got my second 4890 and I realized I do not have another 2 PCI-Express cables with my PSU. With the 4890 came an adapter that allows you to use the 4pin connectors. Looks like this: My question is, are you supposed to hook up BOTH the 4pin connections? So I will be using 4 4pin...

I would like to stock up on those plastic peices that come in iPod cases. They look like this: If you have one or more laying around please shoot me a PM!

So my iPhone is acting goofy. I have been getting errors on it saying that there is low disk space and to delete some movies or pictures etc. I have deleted all my music/videos etc and still having the problem. It says I have 0KB left! The odd thing is all of this data is classified under...

Pretty cool eh? Anyone have any clue how he did this? Also this: I want!

This is the beset section of the forum I could think of, so sorry if it is a bit off topic. My problem is this. I have 3 GMail accounts - one for school (an iu.umail.edu), one for my business and a personal. Right now I have my personal one tied to both my school and business one. I get...

This just randomly happened :S What do you think is wrong?

It's really fun making these posts then come back to them in a couple of years, what do you guys think will be the new computer components technology in say, 5 years. I'm talking about advancements in CPU, SSD, PCI 3, etc. Do you think there will be 20 core CPU's or do you think something...

I found a locally used, but remaining 3 year warranty on a Western Digital Raptor WD740GD 74GB 10Krpm SATA HD for $40. Is this a pretty good deal? Or would it be worth spending an extra ~$60 and getting the new OCZ 32BG Onyx for $99? It will be used for mainly OS and apps. Strictly REAL LIFE...

Is there any plugin i can install that will allow me to simply click a button that will add a server and channel to auto connect upon startup? something easy such as right click channel tab and hitting "auto connect" would be awesome. if not, what is the noob friendliest way of going about...

I am using an x4 955 in my machine and I let this beast run 24/7 since I torrent. I was wondering if there was any way to "under clock" it when I am sleeping at night or something? Also, isn't there some way to make it so only 1 core runs when you are not utilizing the cpu that much? Is...

I have been looking on newegg for those big @ss mouse pads. As I was browsing, it came across to me that you could probably easily make one with a trip to a hobby store. Does anyone know what material is used to make these large mouse pads? I want something that will take up about half of my...

If anyone got a Corsair H50 and replaced the fan and has no use for it, let me know. Or if you have any QUIET 120mm fan let me know. Also looking for one of those big@ss mouse pads. Doesn't have to be an expensive razer one - but it needs to be at least 12 inches. Please let me know :D

I am looking for a 5770 or 5850. Must either not be registered or have a x2 lifetime warranty for the 5850 also considereing x2 5770's if you live in the central/south indiana area that will be a huge plus. thanks for looking.

I just updated my BIOS on my ASUS M4A78T-E and it completely changed the timings section. I don't understand how to input desired numbers. All the options are 1x 1.5x 2x etc.. how do i put them in? Also, I have the G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 1600 modules. Does anyone have these? If so what seem...

I have been out of the "game" for about 5 years, and man has stuff changed. I had to basicly relearn everything. Anyways - here is my first OC in such a long time using a 955BE. Would you guys mind taking a look at the settings and tell me how they look? For some reason CPU-Z does not seem...

So, I just got done assembling everything. I have a few problems I have been trying to figure out. First of all, and the most annoying thing - is for some reason there are black bars on top/bottom and left/right sides of my screen. I have installed all drivers from the CD. Resolution is set to...

Just got done installing it to new build. And guess what...the damn fan is NOT spinning!? The fan is connected to the 4pin CPU Fan outlet on the mobo. Defective or what? The fan like stutters for .0005 seconds then stops.

I am a bit confused as to what exactly a TV-Tuner can do on a PC. I am under the impression that you can either use MCE or provided software with the tuner to receive ANTENNA television channels? Are there even that many channels available anymore that are broadcasted over antenna? Is...

So, I have been on a bit of a hiatus following the desktop component technologies. It is like an alien world compared to 5 years ago lol. Anyways I am ready to go back to the desktop and it seems like the best bang for the buck and a good overclocker is the Phenom II 550. Is this correct, or...

Just some words of advise from my past month or so experiences from a first time Dell customer. Customer service SUCKS!! Here is the story in a nutshell: I ordered my Inspiron 1520 about a month ago and it had a estimated shipping date of 9/4. On 9/3 I got a phone from dell saying my...
