    MS Excel Spreadsheet help needed.

    I hope I was helpful. I'd suggest asking your superiors to allow you to use the Help function - I've found it to be very helpful if you need to know formula syntax or if a certain function exists. Asking me might be a good 2nd option, since I'm fairly proficient (and I have access to Help :) )

    So I'm building a new PC...

    I'd stay with that Western Digital, it's supposedly very quiet and fast. Your PSU should be the Corsair 520HX or 620HX. See Jonnyguru.com for details. I would not recommend the Kama meter if you think you might use more than one fan per channel. I have read numerous reports about these...

    MS Excel Spreadsheet help needed.

    If you mean that you have multiple 'worksheets' (many tabs in one file), then all you need to do is go to your year-end tab and set a cell equal to the value of the monthly total for month x, example formula in the year end summary: (=Sheet1'!$C$20.) Repeat for each month so that you have a...

    Barcelona, NOT looking that Good!

    While I agree with Shadin, I also have doubts about AMDs ability to get back in the game. Regardless of the Barcelona issue, ATI forgot to include HD video decode support for the HD 2900XT (although it sounds like it could be solved with updated drivers), and then there's that whole thing about...

    Special Screw: $82

    Wow. It would have cost him about $12 for a tap and screw of his choice.

    OCZ Acquires PC Power & Cooling

    Nice. I'll tell you what I hope OCZ does with PCP&C. Here's an email I sent to OCZ back on March 1st, shortly after OCZ released their XLC memory kits that came with optional water cooling: The thread I linked explains it all, but with the release of the X3 and TT ToughPower 1200 since then...

    StarCraft II Announced...

    Yeah, the heroes annoy the crap out of me. You are on. I will reinstall SC and BW this evening, and then I will be at your service.

    Corvette Sedan?

    You know, the Saturn quad-coupe looks pretty decent - you can hardly see the extra doors. Maybe something like that would look passable on a 'Vette? I mean, their doors are already huge.

    StarCraft II Announced...

    I agree completely. You can get the Star Craft Battle Chest (includes the expansion) for $20 at several different stores. I'm a big fan of the original game (Zerg!) - everything about it was great, and new custom maps always kept it interesting. Have you played Warcraft 3? It's like that -...

    SATA Hard drive and SATA CD/DVD Burner

    I read a pretty good article a while ago where a guy did some with RAID 0 vs. single drives where he compared some load times for with a stopwatch. His numbers showed that performance was generally better when running Windows and the swap file on one HDD, and games/apps on another - not using...

    Fastest DDR3 on the market?

    Looking forward to it! Make sure to include prices!

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

    Is anyone else thinking 'Fallout 3'? This whole concept sounds like a FPS adaptation of the Fallout series, maybe with a little less humor. I thought it was just an FPS until I read the review.

    Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard

    Unfortunately, no. However, I have called (and left a message with) the representative who sent the keyboard, so I will hope to hear back from them. CompUSA.com displays an anticipated release date of Friday, June 1st. That's about all I can find at the moment. Edit: And yikes, CompUSA...

    Corvette Sedan?

    That car looks like a Nissan Sentra with a Dodge Stratus front end. If Nissan were selling it, it'd probably do ok. I agree with Rob that the logo on the front is completely stupid in every sense of the word. The exterior design of the car is certainly not something Corvette should be proud...

    Microsoft Habu Gaming Mouse

    Well, after Razer's very helpful 'Ask Microsoft' response to my inquiry regarding a firmware upgrade, I checked a few forums and found that the Habu firmware cannot be updated on a 64bit OS. 32bit XP Pro allowed me to get the firmware upgraded by generally following the instructions on Razer's...

    Intel Quad Core Price cuts for 7/22/07

    And if 'anybody who takes advantage of it' translates well into 'anyone who was thinking about waiting for Barcelona', AMD could be in for some disappointing sales figures come Christmas time.

    XFX 7600 GS A Little Old...Any Comments?

    Yes, he meant that you could replace the passive heatsink with a new HSF. This would definitely work, but until you actually put the card in your system and overclock it, you won't know if extra cooling is needed. However, if you were to place a 120mm fan such that it is blowing onto the...

    XFX 7600 GS A Little Old...Any Comments?

    So what exactly do you want us to say? Matt tells you that it's a decent overclocker - you ask about heat Matt points out that you can just add a fan if it gets hot - and now you say that'll cost too much. Where are you shopping that a fan costs $25? Jab-tech.com sells 120mm Yate Loons for...

    SilverStone PSU Muffler

    That PSU fan is controlled by the temperatures being measured on the heat sources inside the PSU - so you will not able to modify your case in such a way to keep than fan speed down while the PSU is under load - the only way to do that is to open the PSU and attach the fan to an external...
