    Windows Boots up slow

    I am not sure what the problem is really, because people tell me that their S-ATA drives boot Windows 'ultra-fast' also, but it's never worked that way for me, on three different computers.

    Windows Boots up slow

    I wouldn't consider that a real slow boot time to be honest. Newer hardware doesn't really mean a faster boot. The boot process doesn't seem to really get any faster. Did your old PC use an IDE hard drive? Do you now use a S-ATA? If so, that's probably the difference, because I ran into the...

    Advice on Memory Upgrade

    Well, the thing is on AM2, the bandwidth is -so- good to begin with, that the more you add is going to be useless. People who get 13,000/13,000 in SANDRA... it's just for bragging rights really. Perhaps with hardcore multimedia you may notice a difference, or games that hog a ton of ram...

    Advice on Memory Upgrade

    More likely with game loading times, yes. To see some result, try downloading SANDRA: http://www.sisoftware.net/ Then run the memory bandwidth benchmark, and you will get a buffered result. You -should- notice a difference between 1T and 2T. But like I said, it seems less important on AM2 than...

    Logitech V450 Wireless Laser Notebook Mouse

    Oh, haha! I was going to say :S My batteries are still going strong, but that's no doubt because I never use it. I will start using it from now on, instead of the touchpad and see how long I can make'r last.

    Logitech V450 Wireless Laser Notebook Mouse

    Wow, one hour battery life? To be honest, I haven't touched the mouse since the review... I am just not a notebook mouse kind of guy. I could try to use it solely for a bit and see how it is. I only use the notebook for chatting mainly, so it would take me a while longer to notice dead...

    Media cards are becoming commonplace, we see them more and more every day. They're found in cameras, MP3 players and now even in some cell phones, car stereos and gaming appliances. If you've got more than one format you're stuck with a tough choice, either use the method of transfering data...

    Halo 2 speedrun to be in Guiness Records

    How fast can you beat Halo 2? In August of 2005, Cody Miller managed to take on the Flood on Legendary difficulty in 3 1/2 hours ... without dying. It's an amazing feat, so much so that the 2007 Guinness Book of World Record lists Cody's stunt. I'm undecided on whether this makes sense or not...

    Robber Killed by Female Clerk

    Well, not odd. Flash 8 is not available for Linux. I just get the rest of the page, but not the video.

    Advice on Memory Upgrade

    Yeah, ram will always default to 2T. It's up to you to enable it. Let me know how you make out with it.

    Woot! Enough to go grab a Starbucks and get back to the office.

    Tesla electric car...

    It does look quite a bit like an Elise, but I like this a bit more. I dunno, it's just one damn sexy car. There, I said it. I agree with you on the battery charge though... that's a good point.

    Wii to have free online capabilities...

    ... and not the Xbox Live 'free'. The full blown online service will be free, and reminds me of the Dreamcast games where the games were also free to play online. Well, with the exception of PSO. When asked about the online strategy for the Wii, Fils-Aimes replied "It's the same premise. We...
