No one here is saying that 100% of the stuff coming out of Hollywood is good. Neither was I. I was simply stating my disbelief at what gets sold. Whatever YOU perceive the "Hollywood formula" to be isn't what we're talking about here. Quite aware of that. Thought I'd mention it in passing since it'...

So when I come into work in the morning I usually open Firefox and then go to my bookmarks toolbar folder and open all the sites (9) in tabs. I let them all load then start browsing them, and the first site is Tech Report. Frequently the site hangs and crashes Firefox. (1.0.6 - been happening since...

My point was that Asia is the hotbed of piracy because they can get away with it. The cost of (original) movies versus income plays a far bigger part. I am amazed that anyone is entertained by Hollywood formula, let alone supports it by forking out their hard-earned. The consumers brought this on t...

I'd stick to the lower-end A64 if gaming at 1280x1024 is your main concern, and spend bigger on the vidcard.

Never go 'lesser' on the vidcard or PSU (unless spending less still means 'adequate')

For the second time in four days, I've had a spontaneous shutdown after visiting a website, and when the system comes back up, all my recently visited pages and addresses in my launch bar are gone from Firefox. Anyone seeing anything like this? Know of a solution? Is it a XP or Firefox problem? Can...

Well I never had a Win2k so im sticking with my WinXP just modified, including services and everything. The support is quite a bit better, and alot more things that are made to run on it over the Pre XP Mircrosoft OSs if u haven't tried 2k, how can u say support is quite a bit better? Just asking :...

...I read that when Windows Vista aka Longhorn comes out, for best Aero Glass performance, I will need a Windows Graphic Foundation 2.0 graphics card. Yet the problem is - even the current Geforce 7800 GTX is only WGF 1.0, not 2.0. So do you guys think I should wait till Vista? Wait for WGF 3.0 :D

atidriverssuck

I don't agree with the petition either, if you can afford a 7800 then getting a pcie mobo shouldn't be much of a problem. As we have seen through TRs benches if you dont have a top end cpu then the 7800 is not going to even come near its potential, so logically that would mean only those who are pr...

Adblock v5 d2 nightly 39 (with essential FilterSet.G ad filters) Essential for sanity. The first thing I install. Nobody I've installed this for has been able to live without it.

i've always uninstalled, rebooted, installed, rebooted. Works every time a new version is out.

I'm nto really sure at this point. I'm getting a new pc soon and wondering if i should get an x2. This computer has to last about 4 years!!! *sigh* I know many applicatiosn dont use it yet but they will. That's my concern. 3800+, 4200+, or 4400+ ('ve read the 4400=sweet spot) Any help would be grea...

all i want to know is how much $ does using those rechargavbles -really- save you versus buying normal long lasting energizer batteries. i think NiCad batteries are a big waste of $, time and effort, and they dont even last that long when they are fully charged. Ni-MH have a higher energy density t...

atidriverssuck

Still, fully charging a set of batteries in 15 minutes is pretty damn impressive if you ask me. They get pretty hot though... I wonder if it shortens their life at all? yeh it does. FWIW, Sanyo made those Energizer cells. They are the world leaders in Ni-MH. They DO NOT make/design that charger, th...

IMO the dual layer dvd will go the way of the CD-RW...poor sales mean no increase in write speed and high prices. Not sure what u mean here, but CD-RW has had plenty of speed increases. And they're cheap. CD- RW never really caught on in a big way. Why bother with rewritable media, when write-once ...

interesting stats on Acer/Benq there. Makes me hope my 1620 doesn't fail anytime soon. Some people in club.cdfreaks.com have reported failures (or a general weakness) of the 1620 Benq too, but you find a lot of that goes on with the current flavour-of-the-month drive and I dunno yet whether they hav...

would have been so much better if they had a plastic latch to keep things tight and secure, and when you pressed on the sides of the cable to pull it off, only then does it come off. Not by accident. It's pretty frightening to think the 'big boys' got together to decide the physical specs for these ...

yes, downloaded but haven't installed the latest myself. Dunno what's changed with this latest release.

MSN Messenager 7.0 is still beta version. MSN Messenger 7.0 has had 2 final builds already: 7.0.077 7.0.0813 I remove ads and other annoyances according to the instructions here (updated for the latest build): **LINK REMOVED** I save the modified EXE onto DVD for quick replacement on any new instal...

Thanks for the hardware info. Painful hardware stories are the worst, especially where HDs are concerned. Geek-to-geek, I felt that. Good luck on the new stuff.

How/why did this happen? Make and model of raid controller?

hey guys, this just started a few days ago: my computer, when doing any task, at a random time, will shut off completely (as if you unplugged the computer while on). No restart, but the power "on" light on the outside is still lit, just all the machinery on the inside has shutdown. Sure sounds like...

This model is brand new, so I would tend to assume it's using a later generation chipset. Although with DLink you never know. Now you do. Do a search for D-link :) http://customerproducts.atheros.com/customerproducts/RetailSearchPage.asp According to that it uses the Atheros AR5004X. http://www.ath...

Another question about that Philips monitor: is the base easily removable? The whole point of the LCD for me is portability...it's going to be attached to a...uh...SFF PC...yeah, that's it :lol:...and I'd like to take the stand off and put it back in the original box for transporting. I've seen NEC...

I need some recommendations on a sweet, sweet LCD monitor with DVI. I've got $300 that I can spend on it and that doesn't seem to be a small budget. Dell have some very attractive monitors at attractive prices (E1703FP for $250) but no DVI. I don't need anything fancy or ultra-low-response-rate, as...

what make & model was the drive, out of curiosity?

I assume space is an issue, or you wouldn't be looking at LCDs? Have you ever watched NTSC programming on an LCD TV? Ewwwwww. If you've got the space, do yourself a favor and pick up a 30 inch widescreen CRT from Sony. Your eyes (and wallet) will thank you for it. yeh since one is for purely tv wat...
