    File Corruption - ISP's fault?

    I got a new SSD on Friday and installed Windows 7. Only the hard drive was new, the rest of the parts were already together and working great. Installation went without a hitch until I tried to install Firefox. Used IE to download and when executed it said the file was corrupt. I tried...

    Outdoor directional wireless

    I really despise wireless for the security implications, however I think it’ll be cheaper than running fiber. This will be for security cameras to communicate back to a DVR. I have three buildings, one office and two shop areas. The DVR will be in the office and the cameras will be...

    Unstable AMD Duron CPU

    I've been an Intel guy for while, but I've always had a AMD computer. (1 of 5) It was an Athlon 1300, then the core broke and I got a Duron 1600. The motherboard I had didn't recognize the chip so I figured it was time to upgrade that too. I got an MSI K7N2-V nForce 2 chipset board. It...
