    usb mouse problem

    It's not the mouse then... it's the motherboard. Did you try Windows Update and make sure there are not updated USB drivers? Also... are all your USB ports taken up with stuff? Maybe unplug something and see if the problem persists.

    Vista 32-Bit 2GB vs. 3GB

    Essentially, yes. Even though 2^32 can support 4GB, it might not access ALL of it at once. In 32-Bit, it CAN use all 4GB, but only 3GB of it at any given time, if that makes sense. Your computer will see 4GB, but won't be able to use all of it at once.. that's the only way I can explain it...

    Vista 32-Bit 2GB vs. 3GB

    Ok, bear with me. 32-Bit is meant to register 2^32 addresses, which is 4,294,967,296 (4GB). 64-Bit however registers 2^64, or 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 (18,446,744,073GB, 18EB). So we have a lot of breathing room here.

    Logitech Wireless Music System

    Ok, I am not sure if this will help or not, but you may want to make sure that whatever media player you are using is the primary open application. Don't have more than one open and running at the same time, or they could counteract each other. I'd open one and keep it as the active...

    Vista 32-Bit 2GB vs. 3GB

    Well, if you have a 64-Bit OS you can use a lot more memory ;-) They just give people the ability, if they want it. No harm in that.

    usb mouse problem

    What mouse are you using? I had a similar thing happen with my MX518 on any motherboard, so I just use a PS/2 end instead, but it hasn't stopped any functionality I've used. I have that same problem with a thumb drive as well. If I boot with it, I have re-plug it in to make sure it's working.

    Razer DeathAdder Gaming Mouse

    Razer has developed gaming mice for a while, but all have been ambidextrous. The DeathAdder breaks that habit to become the first Razer right-handed mouse. Aside from that, we quickly found out that the DeathAdder is one of the best looking and most comfortable mice on the market today. You can...

    Logitech Wireless Music System

    Did you happen to try another media player (Windows Media Player, Foobar) or anything else? It could be a WinAmp problem, not one of the product. I ask because I had a similar problem with some media player, but I don't recall which. The rest it worked fine, however.

    Keepin my homies in tha loop...

    I agree.. sans autograph could have been what hurt it. Either way, it was sponsored by the team... you'd think there would be ton of interest. Grats in advance on the house bro. I expect with your skills, we should see something similar to this in the future. Can't wait to see the next project :D

    Vista 32-Bit 2GB vs. 3GB

    Windows XP 32-Bit doesn't handle 4GB, it will only recognize 2.75 - 3.15GB of it.

    Vista 32-Bit 2GB vs. 3GB

    " But it does sucks to know that Windows Vista 32-bit is capped at 3GB. " Remember that's out of Microsofts control, because it's an arch issue, not their issue. 4GB doesn't work with 32-Bit Linux, either. On the other side of the coin, they could not have just released 64-Bit versions for...

    OCZ 2GB Flex XLC PC2-9200

    When I do this in the future, I'd like the ram to be the only thing in the loop, which is why I expressed interest in an external WC rig that uses 1/4". Putting something else into the equation, whether it be different sized tubes or more components to cool could result in inaccurate or...

    Windows Vista Version Comparison

    Aye, I agree. Home Basic would be your best best. The only thing you really miss out on is the Aero interface. Like Tater said, you can upgrade at anytime to a better version if you feel you need it.

    Fee-Based Subscription Gaming on Linux

    Fee-based games work for me. I already subscribe to an MMO.. it's the same thing, really. Depends on the game though... if it's an offline game, I am not sure why I'd "subscribe" to it.

    OCZ 2GB Flex XLC PC2-9200

    I was going to, but that was before I realized the tube sizes were different. Here's a diagram that OCZ drew up for me regarding the innards. According to it, only one side of the chips has copper, which doesn't make much sense to me. I'm trying to get an answer as to why that is. I should...

    Nikon Coolpix L6 6.0MP Digital Camera

    Nikon is not known as a company to slow down their release schedule, and currently they have a huge collection of point-and-shoot cameras. Today we are taking a look at a model from their lifestyle series, the six megapixel L6. You can read the review here and discuss it here.

    OCZ 2GB Flex XLC PC2-9200

    Hi NicePants, I am no water cooling enthusiast, but it doesn't sound like a good idea to throw 1/4" tubes into a setup that uses 3/8". It would be slowing down overall flow. The pump is designed to push water efficiently through larger tubes, so modifying it to use a combination of both...

    Keepin my homies in tha loop...

    To be honest, I expected higher, much higher. The job you did on it was worth $3,500 alone ;-) You must be relieved it's all over with now though. What other projects do you have in the pipeline?

    Vista 32-Bit 2GB vs. 3GB

    It's a limitation of the 64-Bit architecture in general, not just with Windows. I know a few people who have been using the 64-Bit version day in and day out and have experienced a lot of problems, but I think they are the same issues found in the 32-Bit as well. I did have a few people e-mail...
