I built my new computer a couple months ago, and have finally gotten Sleep mode to work on a computer (yay!), so I have been using it and loving it, and it works great! Except once in a while, Usually on Tuesday mornings, between 4-5 am, the computer will turn itself on. Not EVERY Tuesday, but...

I'm contemplating getting a Q6600 on July 22 and I was planning on air cooling with a Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme in an Antec P182B and I'm wondering if that will be enough? My room temps during summer in Arizona are probably going to be around 80° F or about 26° C. Basically, it gets hot...

I was also talking to a friend and he was saying that the quad cores are clocked down slower than the dual cores? Meaning that an E6600 would be faster than a Q6600 in single-threaded or poorly multi-threaded apps. I'm not all that deep into this technology (although this friend is a...

I moved the thread to the General Hardware section.. I would delete this, but it won't let me...

This PPU stuff looks really cool, especially the Cellfactor video. I was just thinking that it would also probably be possible for the PPU to accelerate physics in 3D apps such as Maya and 3ds Max. Has there been any information about this yet? Cloth dynamics, particle systems, liquids...

A Co-worker offered to swap video cards. I've got a 9800Pro (128 MB, I think) and he's got a 6800GT (256 MB) + $50 from me. Since he got an XBox 360 and Oblivion on it, he's hasn't touched his PC. So, he offered a card swap. I have Dual 2 Ghz Athlon MP's, 1GB Ram and the 9800 Pro. I think...

I just started a new job last week doing animation and video editing for an advertising company (yay me! :) ) and they have me working on a 30" Westinghouse HD LCD screen (1280x720.. we do HD advertising). At home I have a 17" flat CRT that I've used for years and have been looking at getting...

I recently re-installed WinXP and I just re-installed my Lexmark Z22 printer. I downloaded the drivers from their website and installed them and rebooted. Windows then "finds new hardware" and tries to install its own damn drivers and make a new printer. How do I stop it from doing this?? I...
