You should try the calculator, it's actually useful again. ;) All the little things... such as changing the start menu button from shut down to restart, or log off, or hibernate. I honestly forgot which it was Vista didn't allow as opposed to XP after using it for so long that griped users, but...

Well, Windows 7 does have a smaller disk footprint, and is the first Windows to actively check on system type to see how much it needs to minimize its install footprint. And unlike Vista it will make efforts to actively control how large things start getting... Link. If you read the source link...

When you mention that, it sounds like an issue with Crossfire and nothing more. This is why I don't like dual-GPU solutions because every time a brand new game hits the shelves, it typically performs worse than a single GPU card until that company fixes their drivers for it. This game hasn't...

Yeah, I really do hate to sound negative about ACard's RAM Disk because I think it is a brilliant idea with plenty of potential. It just needs to come with a controller that delivers on some of the performance DDR2 memory offers, then the price (Or even a higher price) would be justified. The...

Hm, well I guess my experience differs slightly as I never did get the error. I was installing a new set of NVIDIA drivers (On Vista 32bit), everything went smoothly and I rebooted. Desktop loads like normal and everything seems fine, but my Folding@home program is generating errors. Since...

Yes, I naturally have stock voltage overclocks. This is me you're talking about... ;) Due to the complexity and associated risks of BIOS flashing I made a custom BIOS, but never decided to flash the card. And I do not do hard mods as I'd like the hardware to last. So I was left with basic...

Windows 7 is more than just new paint. It includes all the refining, tuning, and reworking Vista claimed to come with but was apparently forgone for the sake of actually getting a product out the door sometime within the same decade as XP... I can actually leave UAC enabled and it is only a...

This one has been making the rounds like wildfire. It appears Rivatuner has the ability to adjust the voltage settings to GTX 260 & GTX 280 cards (And some ATI 4000 cards) in software. No hard mods or flashing is required. From what people are posting it doesn't work with the newer GTX 285 as...

They tested it with and without RAID 0. The issue is they don't have a powerful enough drive controller, so RAID 0 only adds a small bit of performance instead of actually doubling it. Intel's X25 drives still do a impressive job of keeping up... and considering the cost, the X25-E is still a...

Ah, well thanks for the correction. :) That's something I didn't know.

The problem I have with this statement is that it is not a "new" problem. I am sure Rahul Sood has used an old Pentium 4-based Celeron laptop at one time or another. Any half computer-literate user that used a Pentium M based machine then have to switch to a severely cutdown and often...

Because I wanted both data security/redundancy, better-than WD Raptor performance, yet still have plenty of storage space. Keep in mind when I originally got these 320GB drives 74GB Raptors were king, and I could buy several 320GB drives for the price of a single 74GB Raptor. It was supposed...

Last time I tried to count how many fabs Intel had I got to 15. 200mm technology isn't cost effective anymore, and so many of their fabs are 65nm or 90nm or even higher... this news just is not surprising. I think they got every last dollar squeezed out of those fabs.

The other problem with getting a RAID card, is that the ultra-affordable models would handicap any kind of SSD. I would want a RAID card that could handle two SSDs in RAID 0, and it takes the some of the better 4-Port cards to begin to offer sufficient performance to handle two of those. I...

This product was just out of the blue! For the cost of 2GB DDR2 RAM modules, it just makes me salivate at the potential one of these things has if it had a few more RAM slots... It is unfortunate their hardware controller is not as good as Intel's SSD drive controllers, otherwise this thing...

Does it? I was thinking of the 1024x768 images they store in the My Docs folder, but if Vista offers higher res images elsewhere then I'll take my comment back. ;)

Going to double-post as an update. It appears MS's very own feedback program was causing some windows MSI installers to fail to initialize. They were pretty quick on the uptake updating the troubleshooting files. The Photoshop CS4 installer package and all other installers that this affected...

Oye, I hadn't! That really makes sense though, and does explain how it was so hard for people to discover who the Stig was. I realized after I made the screenshot that I had not checked out these new "themes", or even set a theme for Opera. Beyond modifying their layouts I haven't even...

Okay, I forgot to mention that one as well. So it is three things that are randomly changed... 1) Folder View Type 2) Arrangement of Folder Contents 3) Sorting Columns And I swear, I can open My Documents and spend 5 minutes configuring it exactly as I like... browse around a subfolder or two...

Maybe my huge, very incomplete rant in another thread I won't mention is proof enough of this... :o There is something to be said for having an OS that just fracking works. ;) It was rather ironic though, I forgot about the video codes on my Windows 7 install, and randomly clicked on one of...
