    Asus z87-Plus && PNY ddr3

    That was uplifting,thanks. I do like Asus. I did check the updated QVL, though. Although now someone else just bought the last kit. Drat :\

    Asus z87-Plus && PNY ddr3

    Anybody have compatability issues between the two? PNY is nowhere on the mobo's QVL so I don't want to rush into things. I did have success with PNY ddr and a P4s800 but as the saying goes: past performance is no indication of future success.

    These password memorizations are driving me crazy

    think I saw on TV one of those "show you how easy it is to break in" shows and instead of stealing anything, he put spyware on the would-be victim's laptop.

    These password memorizations are driving me crazy

    It is so aggravating when sites don't communicate their requirements well. Please write out the special characters I may/not use, password length limits, minimum requirements! One site let me type in however many characters I wanted, then truncated them! And if banks were really trying to...

    EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750B PSU thoughts?

    I'm looking at NEX650 as a possible buy myself. Contrary to lehty, the reviews I've seen on the 500 and 650W mentioned that because of FSP, the lower voltage ripples go well past 3% when you get closer to 100% load. I wish I could confirm if that'd be the case with the 750

    I think my P4 at 62C is too high?

    Thanks to all who gave their thoughts. I will indeed probably go with those suggested when the time comes. Meanwhile, I have been using all these spare parts more than 10 years! If this $30 Prescott lasts until Adobe's minimum requirements out perform the 128MB Nvidia card I have now I will...

    I think my P4 at 62C is too high?

    First, I am not overclocking. I put in a "new" cpu P4 3ghz 800mhz 1mb L3 mobo: asus p4s800 lga 478 I had to use the old cpu's stock fan/heatsink. Hard use of the computer is watching flash videos all day. I get sustained temps around 61 and max is usually 62C. This isn't detrimental, is it...

    Board games

    For some reason I completely forgot about chess. Once in a while I'd play that, but for some reason my mind doesn't count it as a board game. So Vic in the Pacific was the first non chess game I played in a long time. I liked the concept, disliked the actual play bc of so many dice rolls and...

    1) Ever notice it seems that the vast majority didn't even bother to skim the details? The requirements are always in a different color for crying out loud! Better for us though :) 2) Speaking of which, instead of: "What I'm looking for here is an understanding of what your current system...

    z77 RAM compatible with z87?

    RAM I'm looking at: Geil EVO 1600 CL9 2x4GB, but advertised as "latest including z77." I have Asus z87 Plus. updated QVL has Geils of different models tho under the 1600mHz. You think I can go for it? Or too risky? Thanks.
