Hi Cypher. I have not tried those drivers at all so I cannot comment on them. Part of the issue is the physical design of the motherboard, the Marvell controller is limited to a 1x PCIe lane and so it does not have enough bandwidth. No driver can fix that issue. You can put the SSD on one of...

Hm, did you look at CCleaner at all, Rob? I had the annoying invisible systray icon problem where during the occasional reboot, random systray icons would be simply "blank" and the associated icon/program functionality wouldn't work even though the tooltips described what the icon was...

As I said on another site... I love how the iPad and future tablets are quoted to get 1080p displays, yet ultrabooks and most laptops that have larger displays are stuck at 768p resolutions. :mad: Thankfully there was a report that Acer and ASUS had teamed up to "convert" some suppliers over...

I know it's a bit late now, but just to point it out: GOTY does NOT include all DLC packs! There are 11 DLC packs for Civ V, and even at the height of the sale they cost $16 combined... the same cost as the GOTY edition itself. :eek: I almost bought the DLC package (which includes 4 packs)...

Hmm. I managed to collect four Pentium Pro socket 7 systems 2-3 years ago, still have the 1GB Quantum disk drives in them. No idea why I have them, could tell the guy was relieved to be rid of them for some strange reason...:p Amusingly enough for one of them a bank I shall not mention had...

Just goes to show nothing is hack proof. And anything that is too work intensive or costly for computers to hack today, will be quick and simple to hack tomorrow!

Rob, it's funny you should mention the tablet vs pads thing. I was in a price club inspecting the 5 different tablets they had on display... a pair of Chinese women came up and just randomly inquired in halting English if these were "pads". :D I never really paid any attention to the...

When you say you cannot access those websites, you need to be more specific. What happens and what errors do you receive? Can you access anything at all with that computer? Off the cuff it sounds like a driver issue. Have you downloaded the latest NIC driver from your laptop, then installed...

OriginalJoe, any luck with this? When you say 70 degrees, is that the GPU or the CPU temp?

I agree that it's not likely to pass... when Ron Paul and Nancy Pelosi both join up against a bill, you know it's gotta be pretty bad legislation. :D But I won't be at ease until it gets shot down hard... For anyone that didn't catch it, even the BSA doesn't like what this bill has turned...

Hm, well those are some good points regarding technical literacy. I recall reading about some other factors that cause technical illiteracy, one of them being the increasing ready access to knowledge within just seconds. It was a somewhat humorous article at Ars Technica where even the author...

My first guess it that it's a video RAM problem, some of the GPU memory may be failing. Here's the video equivalent to memtest86: http://mikelab.kiev.ua/index_en.php?page=PROGRAMS/vmt_en There's a bootable version of this somewhere... but it can test most of the RAM from within windows...

Not sure if that was your meaning, but it's quite possible to hack them to work in a VM, it's just not user friendly to make them work. :D

Just wow. I guess if there is an issue or viewpoint that exists, there's a research firm out there that supports it. :D Seriously though, there's no way a tablet is a PC, simply based on one fact. The definition of a PC includes the word "capabilities", and there are plenty of things a tablet...

Hm, new X58 board looks like... don't remember which one based on that southbridge heatsink and color though?

My problem wasn't the size, or the looks, or anything about the concept... the issue with the SMART car was that they were built pretty poorly for the price. Yer better off buying something else given the maintenance and reliability issues that await ya down the line with one.

Unfortunately no... decrypt issues are not uncommon. There are quite a few issues with Steam that have just never been resolved. One in particular being my friends list and IM windows lose all awareness of size and position when I close down the game. So the next time I start the same game...

Hi Icicle, welcome to our forums! This is an old problem, unfortunately. The Marvell controller is only capable of using a PCIe 1x link, which artificially limits the port to <500MB/s. This is bad enough, but for some reason write speeds are penalized even more with the Marvell controllers...

I'm going to counterpoint this as I have to disagree here. My take away from the article was that specs don't matter, not because of technological illiteracy, but because tech specs don't create the user experience anymore. (in most cases) Take a smartphone... throw a quadcore into one (a few...

I loved most of those BMG commercials! They ended around the time the Athlon64 showed up and began crashing Intel's party, which was probably a good thing... I saw one of their performances in person.. Blue Man Group is one of those groups best to go see live! :D
