I get pretty much all my wallpapers from InterfaceLift.com. It's regularly updated and the wallpapers are top-rate! http://interfacelift.com/ http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/details/1638/dark_knight.html

Last month, AMD became the first company to bring a $99 quad-core processor to market, in the form of the Athlon II X4 620. The question, of course, is whether or not it delivers. At 2.60GHz, it looks to offer ample performance, but the lack of an L3 cache is bound to prove itself in some of our...

I'm going to have to guess that you are trying to plug it in upside-down. I hauled out a Corsair 820HX, and sure enough, the 8-pin motherboard connector isn't identical to the one on the motherboard (your diagram matches up perfectly). But it still plugs in fine to the motherboard. The...

I'm working on a bunch of things right now, so I can't give an exhaustive response, but is there a chance you are trying to plug a PCI-E 8-pin cable into that connector rather than the 8-pin motherboard connector? The shapes of the eight squares are different between cables to make sure someone...

From our front-page news:One of my favorite sayings is, "Where there's a will, there's a way.", because it's true. If you are truly stumped, and can't see a way out of a problem, there's likely always a solution. If you have the will to get it done, then it will get done, in some form or...

From our front-page news:I posted a news item yesterday about VMware's upcoming Fusion 3 hypervisor software for Mac OS X, and one complaint I had was the fact that while Mac users have such an excellent virtual machine option from the company, PC users get the short end of the stick and have...

I think it just comes down to how Linux handles the various elements of the desktop UI. In Windows Vista, for example, I can't highlight and drag a block of text out of Notepad, but there's no application I've had issues like that with under Linux. Yes there are always ways to do pretty much...

From our front-page news: Over the course of the past few years, the processor landscape, and others, have changed drastically. Even just five years ago, people thought very little of paying $1,000 for a processor. Back in those days, we were stuck to single-core models, and models that didn't...

From our front-page news:Whether you are a Mac OS X or Linux user, to run Windows on your machine, you have a few options. One of the more common is to dual-boot your machine, so that when you boot up, you can run one or the other. Another option is to run software that allows you to run Windows...

From our front-page news:In the fall of 1999, Daniel Robbins decided to create his own distro, one that focused on a non-binary packaging system, and was designed to be built from the ground-up, on a per-user basis. This distro was first known as "Enoch Linux", but due to complications with how...

SilverStone's Raven RV01 chassis might not have been the most well-received, but the company has attempted to make up for all the mistakes of the initial chassis with a follow-up, the RV02. Fortunately, the company has done just that, and except from a rather minor issue, and possibly its price...

To find out the CPU model, just download CPU-Z: http://cpuid.com/cpuz.php If the current price is $160, it's a total rip-off. I have little doubt that the $70 Pentium E5200 would kick that chips ass in every-single regard.

Argh! I have an absolutely fantastic dentist, but whew, do I hate going there. The drills, the cold air on sensitive teeth, the gross taste of the benzocaine or novacane, or whatever the heck it is, and worst... the knowledge that I have certainly not been taking the great care of my teeth all...

Here's a fairly quality review of Windows 7 I stumbled on. Still not quite sure if I want to upgrade or not. http://www.cracked.com/blog/using-windows-7-may-lead-to-murder/

Am I reading this right? You're using an old single-core Pentium 4 660 3.60GHz in an ASUS P5Q motherboard? If so, then whoa. When you bought that board, you probably paid 4x what the CPU was worth, hah! I have to ask... what led you to this kind of setup? Believe it or not, the Pentium 4 660 is...

Heh, I laughed a lot at what you said, because for most things, I agree. Water-cooling for me has always been a hassle, even when I've used self-contained kits. I just gave up, and stuck to air, because though it's not perfect, it is a lot easier to deal with. Well, the easiest thing is to...

That doesn't come off to me as being a copy and paste, to be honest. Either way, you can do that in any current OS as far as I'm aware. It works best in Linux though... I'll vouch for that. There have been many times in Windows when I've tried to drag and drop text and it just wouldn't work...

For many people, I would agree, but I do see a problem. With miniITX, there is almost no expansion capabilities at all, which is a huge issue for performance users. Currently, you can only use a maximum of 4GB of RAM (or perhaps 8GB of slow RAM) that I know of, and inside of an ITX chassis...

One saying I absolutely hate is "any publicity is good publicity", because in this case, I'm not sure it's true. Palm is simply proving that they don't mind subjecting their customers to hassles like these, and that to me, is sad. They are essentially offering a feature that they are not...

I hate that issue... few of my friends have that with their monitors. It might be worse with smaller monitors though. I'm not sure what you have, but my 24" Dell has a very sturdy base, and so does the 30" Gateway.
