    Best way to revive a dead HDD?

    Thanks for the links, and help. Getting them professionally recovered is one thing I wanted to try to avoid. The file is not *that* important, and it would cost a lot to recover I am sure, due to the fact that the file is 1.5GB. I *may* try that drop from 10 inches trick.. it does spin up...

    CAS vs FSB

    Hopefully you do a better job than I do. I blew up three PSU's and one video card in the past. Hope that's all going to stay behind me ;)

    FireFox 1.1 Delayed!

    Due to the lead FF dev getting snapped by Google, the 1.1 version will be delayed. Which is ok, since the 1.0 is so damned good :D Inside FireFox I am sure it will be worth the wait for the next version though.

    Best way to revive a dead HDD?

    About a month ago, my 120GB Seagate blew.. after only being 18 months old. The only important thing I lost, and didn't back up, was my Outlook file. This has all my contacts, e-mails and serial codes for programs I bought, so I would love to retrieve it. I have hooked it up and played around...

    Google Snaps up top FireFox Dev..

    Google has hired the lead programmer of the Firefox Web browser, the newest step in the search engine powerhouse's encroachment on Microsoft's turf. This is great news in my opinion. Already what I think is the best browser, does a fantastic job of making people avoid Internet Explorer...

    Chinese Sue DVD Player Makers

    PARIS ? Two Chinese DVD player manufacturers have sued consumer electronics giants Philips, Sony, Pioneer and LG Electronics, alleging they violated U.S. antitrust laws in the licensing of patented technologies. Haha.. here's a link. Why is it, that people will wait years and years to sue...

    SATA or ATA 133???

    That's quite the set up you have. I am still one of the peeps without a Raptor drive, but I am waiting to upgrade my whole mobo first I think.

    CAS vs FSB

    I don't know much about Ram timings.. it's something I definately need to study. However, have you tried playing around with Memory benchmarks? I recommend you try SiSoft Sandra if you haven't before. It has pretty decent Memory benchmarks, and allows you to compare your results to similar...

    NVIDIA's SLI Shortchanges Gamers?

    HardOCP has a great article on how an SLi setup.. only works on specific games.. In order for SLi to work on any game, Nvidia has to specifically write special drivers for it! Am I the only one insulted by this? They expect people to run out and get their $1,000+ set up, to play games THEY...

    Opinions on the Fatal1ty AA8XE?

    What are your thoughts on the AA8XE? At first, I was worried it would just be a cheap marketing gimmick, but for a P4 board, it does have some great features. It has some downsides as well, possibly the price. I am not really into P4's, but this board is pretty cool.

    Virus = Very Yes!

    If you hate Strongbad, watch this anyway. I almost had tears from laughing so hard. Really takes some of our computer gripes and makes it humorous. Good stuff.

    NFS: Underground 2

    Never do I get addicted to a game.. well hardly ever. Ok, every few months I will get addicted to a game, and this is one of those. Anybody else out there playing this? I just got my Forth sponser, and the games getting HARD. It states I am only 40% done the game as well.. so I can just...

    SATA or ATA 133???

    If you want the best performance, I would go for SATA. Especially if you have a RAID 0 setup, you would notice a good difference from regular ATA/133. It would depend on what you are using it for though. File transfer would be much faster, especially if you were using the faster 10,000RPM...
