    Need For Speed, the movie

    I found out the other day that the NFS franchise is making a movie. How did I find out? Well it seems they're filming it in and around the Atlanta area. In fact, earlier this week they closed an 11 mile section of I-75 that runs past the place where I live. For four hours no less. Seeing how it...

    Who's planning to upgrade to Haswell?

    Any upgrade I do will probably center around the GPU and possibly ram. Currently I have 4 gigs and it's been fine with it but if games get any more demanding I'll up it to 8. I wish I'd had the foresight to pick up a pair of 4 gig DDR2 kits when they were under $50. Now that it's gone out of...

    Who's planning to upgrade to Haswell?

    I'm perfectly happy with my Phenom II 940.

    Frustrating networking issues

    No, not in the device settings, in the networking interface in windows. Like I said, it was a long, long time ago and I was using XP Pro versus 8. IMO, XP is a bit more robust as far as user tweakability goes. While I haven't used 8 enough to delve too deep into the nuts and bolts of it, 7 is...

    Frustrating networking issues

    I know there's a way of tying your network connections to intranet or internet in windows but it's been so long since I've messed with networking that was notworking that I've forgotten exactly what was involved. Try setting up a work group and connecting to that via the wired NIC and using the...

    Yeah, he pretty much nailed it. I saw the video of that exchange and she was all flabbergasted.

    How long do your USB devices last?

    True, it could be the controllers. These were all part of the chipsets. 2 nV and one Intel.

    How long do your USB devices last?

    I've had PC's that gave me USB fits. Things would work then not work then clain it wasn't a USB 2.0 port. USB sucks IMO.

    Here's a NSFW (Warning, there is nudity on that site!) link to a nice compilation of some outstanding rally spills and thrills for anyone that enjoys rally racing. http://grab.orsm.net/php/flow.php?file=update20130404/rally-insanity.mp4 It's pretty damn awesome.

    Corsair K70 reveailed!

    Reading the specs on the page you linked to it has red LEDs. No mention of blooooooooo or any other color.

    Corsair K70 reveailed!

    It's too bad the K70 only has red LEDs. I'd buy it if it offered blue backlighting.

    Well, this is odd.

    Apparently you need to be a Richard to use it.

    So... this is interesting. A $210 4TB hard drive

    Don't buy retail WD drives. The OEM versions have 3 year warranties while the retail versions only carry a 1 year. Don't ask me why but that's the way they do it.

    So... this is interesting. A $210 4TB hard drive

    I've had 10 WD drives, out of those 3 have failed. I've had 4 Seagate drives, out of those 2 have failed. I'll stick with a 30% failure rate versus a 50% failure rate, thanks.

    So... this is interesting. A $210 4TB hard drive

    My 7200.9 500 gig Seagates either had a suicide pact or it was murder/suicide because both went tits up within a week of each other. On the other hand my TEN YEAR OLD WD with over 43,000 hours of uptime has never given me any real trouble aside from breaking the tab under the data cable plug. I...
