    Time for a new one!

    Well I did look up some reviews of the Just Pc power supply before choosing it. It's not a name brand power supply per se but it's performance is quite adequate. I do plan on going with an Sli setup sometime in the future. I ran across a review of http://www.amdboard.com/sansun_arctic_550w.htm...

    Time for a new one!

    Ok I've managed to hold down a decent job and am able now to build a complete system. So here's what I've got planned. Any suggestions? Case: <a href ="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133154">Thermaltake Armor</a> ~$150 Power Supply: <a href...

    Crotale reaches 19.953s at 6609MHz with SuperPi with Intel Penium XE955

    I wonder what scores one of the new Opty 165's would do at 3ghz or better? That score is great, but I'd like to see an AMD processor do SuperPi at 6Ghz! I've got to give the man credit though, to get a 203% overclock out of a processor is absolutely GREAT!

    Geforce 7300 GS coming soon

    I don't quite see the need for these new chips.. They'll fill in some gaps that really aren't quite large. It may be another way of using up some of the extra cores before releasing another major revision.

    Wow. Ok, who's next? I'm stumped.

    Zalman Big Boy

    Lol @ the thought of that! Just imagining trying to support that heatsink and the size of case to hold it. You couldn't house it, what with it moving "26 cubic meters of air per second".

    Wireless Network help..

    It depends on how your wireless router is setup. Most routers have an encryption option which requires a WEP key for verification, but it can be setup without it. Depending on how far away from the computer the router is, the adapter may not be able to pick up the signal. You may need to go...

    Zalman Big Boy

    http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=1217&redirect=yes This is likely just a show model, but with the way temps keep rising, could it be the future? Temperatures have certainly not become such a problem that a heatsink like that would be necessary. Although, one begins to imagine...

    Logitech MX610 Cordless Laser Mouse

    Ahhh.. I've don't have the duo so maybe the drivers for the bundle work differently. I've got the Elite keyboard which serves me well.

    Logitech MX610 Cordless Laser Mouse

    I haven't ever had that problem with mine. :rolleyes: Unless there's an issue with your drivers or the mb usb drivers that shouldn't happen. I can unplug and switch usb ports, and still plug it back in and get that "detected new hardware" sound and it works just fine. That seems odd to me...

    RAM Clocking

    It's a 10x multiplier he states further in the review.. so it must be 300Mhz fsb. I was looking at getting the Opty 150 which has a 12x multiplier, and boosting the fsb to 250 would result in 3Ghz speeds without to much strain. I think the Zalman9500 would do nicely to keep the temps down.

    Thumb Drives

    Yeah I've got a PNY 512 for swapping over music or files for friends. As well as software for people without internet service. I had a PNY 256meg but I stuck it in a bad usb port and it fried. I met a man washed and dried his pny and it still worked. Says something about the quality!

    Windows Xp 64Bit

    I have a copy waaaay over at my home in Mississippi. A friend of mine downloaded the beta exactly like what's been said.. He was using it with a 3200 and an asus a8v deluxe. Had a 200g partitioned off for the 32 and 64 bit versions. From what he told me he liked the 64 bit a little better but...

    RAM Clocking

    OK Quick question, I've had a brain fart and can't remember how the speeds work for fsb to cpu ratio... I was looking at some performance reviews of the Opty processors and found a guy who's gotten 10x300=3000Mhz. If I'm thinking of this right.. The fsb is 150 x 2 (to get 300) x 10 the...

    Altec Lansing Ahs502i?

    My Logitech 350 was giving me the same problem but I "pursuaded" it until it no longer hurts my ears. I just slightly bent the plastic part at the top of the headset where the earphones attach. You can't even tell it's been changed until you put them on. They don't bother my ears yet still have...

    Wow. Just wow.

    Well the post is from a tabloid paper the Weekly World News.. So I wouldn't put too much merit into it.. But still, yeah it's pretty sick.

    My newest mod... BOSS : FX-57

    Tech that's a piece of art not just a pc! :D I personnally like the Acupulco blue and white stripes but the orange and black is very nice indeed. I'm glad you put forth the effort into a case like that. http://www.mustang-stripes.com/1969_boss_302_mustang.htm...

    Build Stork's computer.

    Agreed, you're going to pay more in markup at a retail store, and Newegg has great shipping rates. You'll have no problem getting anything you want online and most of the time it's cheaper.
