It's also available from God Mode. Create a new folder rename to: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Mine (from EVGA) came with adapters.

I RMA'd an 8800 GTX about a month ago, got another 8800 GTX which died after about 3 hours, RMA'd that and got yet another 8800 GTX.

Works. Thanks, guys.

Thanks. I found it and set both min and max processor power to 100%. But it didn't change anything, processor still runs at 50% unless really loaded down. BIOS settings, anyone?

Can't figure out what settings to use to stop the CPU from running half speed when processing load is low or idle. I know this is a feature, but I need it off in order to test some sound generating software. Anyone know the BIOS (or Win7) settings?

OK, I'm posting once.

Yes, I think that's the way I'll go. Thanks, everyone, for all the suggestions.

As I said in the OP, it needs to be in a public space, All Users. Plus, I think (not sure, though), C:\Users\UserName\Documents gets virtualized in Win7. I know for sure the other "My...." folders are.

My best guess, too. Users\Public\AppName Anything wrong with setting it up this way?

There is PvP, and it is very cleverly implemented IMO. Can't speak for the higher level/faction PvP as I'm still in the low level areas, but PvP here is the best I've seen. The deal is, scavenging for materials is a major part of the game, whether you are using them for crafting or just...

That would be my first choice, but AppData is a hidden folder, again it would confuse a great many users. It seems M$ would have thought to leave a standard folder path available, but I have not been able to find one.

Interesting read, thanks for the suggestion. But I think that's a but much for end users to do as part of an install, at least most of them.

It may come to that, but I'd rather avoid hanging my app's data folder off the root if that can be avoided.

I need to install my program so users can create, modify & save files and be able to find them again with Explorer, outside of the program that created them. In XP that was in a sub folder off the Program files folder. But with Vista/Win7 I can't seem to find a "safe" place to create the...

Must be dependent on BIOS and chipset. My Gigabyte X58 board has no problem switching from AHCI to IDE. Like the OP, I wanted to switch back because the extra boot up process is annoying and not worth the benefit (for me) of AHCI.

You're right on the raw chip specs, but wrong and FUD-mongering on the SSDs. Current quality SSDs are MORE reliable than HDs, not only in that they fail gracefully, going Read Only rather than just dropping dead, but the overall expected lifespan is very favorable compared to HDs:

As a software developer I need to make backups several times a day. It turns out that a dual SSD setup, one for the main working drive and one for the backups works great. Fast, don't have that 2-4 second wait while the backup disk spins up, and I know the data is safe so I only need to...

This has the ripe stench of unfounded FUD to me. Given the same quality, how could MLC have 10% the write cycles of SLC? Current 2 level MLC requires twice the r/w access, but wear is on the erase, not on the read or write. Also, as die size shrinks so does design sophistication go up. I...

Here is one citation. I think I read about it going ROM instead of Brick somewhere else, but I can't find it now. Still, Anandtech is a pretty good source, and they are reporting a fairly graceful end of life for SSDs. http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/intel/showdoc.aspx?i=3403&p=5 "What...

From what I've read (this is from memory, so I can't give citations), when SSDs fail they fail to erase, which means they can't write fresh data, but they still can read. So instead of a brick you get a read only device.

Yes, Newegg will ship another one and will refund for the current one as soon as they get it back. But as I already said, they did this already, and I got a 2nd one labeled S128. As of yesterday, Friday, as far as the CS person knew, they were still shipping the S128s for P128 orders. I...

Why make it personal while contributing nothing? I'm asking for information on this situation. As I posted that I got this twice, including from an RMA, it should be obvious that I did try to sort it out with Newegg. They are sweet as always, but can only issue another RMA. And as it stands...

Newegg (maybe others, I don't know) has been shipping Corsair S128 SSDs when P128s were ordered. It happened to me twice. I purchased a P128 about two weeks ago and got a P128. It's great, like everyone says. So I ordered another one last week. I got an S128 instead. RMA'd it, ordered...

I was interested in what people might say about the relitive merits of the two fastest drives, SSDs and Raptors. But the thread was killed by the above post. Even though the referenced thread was exclusive of SSDs, not the open question asked by the OP. Why do some jerks feel the need to...

Thanks again. That's the information I needed.

Thanks, but I've seen postings with voltages of 1.64 or so. What gives?

Does anyone know (for sure) the max voltage for the i7 975, and the max temp to allow when running stress tests? It used to be easy enough to find on the Intel site, but they seem to have buried it..at least I have not been able to locate either.

Thanks for the tip. The speeds they are getting on the i7 975 are nothing short of inspirational. Also, while I didn't see any discussion of using odd number settings, that seems to be what the fast ones are using. Maybe urban legends are sometimes worth paying attention to. Anyone know the...

I've read several confusing and contradicting items regarding settings of BCLK and the CPU multiplier. One or the other or both should be an odd number, one or the other should be kept low while the other is cranked up, etc. Anyone know the real skinny? This is my first attempt at going for...

This is a follow up report, after using the Reserator XT for about 18 months. Basically, I have bow to the folks who gave me flack over my choice of and enthusiasm for this rather expensive WC kit. It is seriously flawed. It did get me into water cooling and overclocking, and it did not...

OK, looks like I stick with the ASRock board. But I found a northbridge cooler that hopefully will solve the problem: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6717/vid-102/Enzotech_SLF-1_Forged_Copper_Northbridge_Southbridge_Low-Profile_Heatsink.html?tl=g40c16s500

Thanks, but that board doesn't seem to be available in the US, only the 2-PCI version. Also, it seems to use the same marginal cooling solution on the X58 as the ASRock board, so I'd be reluctant to try to buy it from somewhere difficult to return it if there were a problem. So I don't think...

Anyone know where to find a Socket 1366, Intel i7 motherboard with 3 PCI slots? I tried the ASRock X58 Supercomputer board, and it failed twice. First one after 4 hours of burn in with Primes95; second one after 8 hours. Appears to be from seriously cheapo cooling on the northbridge and...

Got mine today.

Well Newegg still doesn't have it. I called customer service to see if I could get some information on when they would have it, but drew a blank. So I cast around and found it on Superbiz.com for $995. Ordered it this afternoon, and just got an email that it has been shipped. Pretty...

Anyone know when the i7 975 will show up at the Egg?

OK, I found a solution. You have to set it to use Proxy: http://www.sevenforums.com/network-internet/2001-help-ie-8-connection-conundrum.html

I've been using Firefox since version 1, but there are times when you need to have IE, such as when downloading from Microsoft, and of course to check how your web site works under IE. Suprisingly, though, for the week or so IE8 was working on my Win7 install, I found it to be pretty good - a...

At your suggestion I did try safe mode. Same problem as described in the OP, exactly. Looked for unknown services and processes and as far as I can tell (which is limited) there is nothing strange, and in safe mode all were shut down. It seems to be something in IE8 and normally I'd reinstall...
