    Do not have much knowledge when it comes to cars, but had seen similar problem in one of the old 90ish car. The car have head gasket problem. Maybe you want to check to see if the problem is the head gasket? Previously had tested using a kit borrowed from Autozone. Not sure if you have...

    Best sound card for recording?

    Hi all, Sorry got questions again. The title probably should be more likely "better" sound card for recording as the real best one probably cost more than most can afford. It had been ages since last purchased a fairly good sound card. Last time, it was the Sound Blaster Live! Platinum...

    Tablet with non-Bluetooth detatchable keyboard

    There are some more "economic" Windows tablets that have detachable tablets, such as Unbranded tablet from Best Buy and Winbook W100 from Microcenter. The thing is that you will need to purchase the keyboard separate from the tablet itself so the final cost will be around $200 or so for both...

    How safe/secure is the Android on cheap tablet?

    Autopatcher alternative?

    Hi, Thank you Bubbaleone and rasczak for the suggestions. Will try them all out to see which one is better. I think I have tried to use WSUS previously, but that was couple years ago too. Thanks again.

    Autopatcher alternative?

    Hi all, Having been using Autopatcher since the Windows XP SP2 first came out, maybe even earlier than that. However, recent years, Autopatcher seems to be less active and their software do have some error sometimes. So does anyone have suggestion for alternative software that is free, but...

    More Llano leaks (A8 APU extensively benchmarked)

    Not sure if the reviews are trying to make Llano look bad or trying to show its superiority or by compare Llano 1.5GHz against i5 2.5GHz. But either way, the battery life is very good and its performance, though cannot compare to i5 at raw power, is fairly good. Wonder how much improvement in...

    First AMD Llano “A8-3800 Pictures and Benchmarks Exposed?

    Ah, noted. Was not trying to start anything, just clarifying the original questioning that is all. And yeah, it has been a while since last benching the most powerful video card in possession because it has been the same X1950 Pro for years since getting it. Have yet to get more powerful card...

    First AMD Llano “A8-3800 Pictures and Benchmarks Exposed?

    Not saying the SuperPi numbers and the 3DMark score came from the same person, was merely asking how well Llano scored on 3DMark since stopped keeping track with it back at 3DMark 2009 version, whichever version that came before the Vantage. And have yet to use it much it since then as well.

    First AMD Llano “A8-3800 Pictures and Benchmarks Exposed?

    Wow, that is super slow SuperPI. Just did couple calculation for the heck of it and got 40.xx for the first try and 37.xx for the second try. And also have a virtual machine running while that happens. By the way, is the graphics part fast? Been a while since reading the 3DMark scores and...

    Official: AMD re-introduces FX Brand for high-end Processors

    Sweet, thanks for answering my question about the Cool n' Quiet. Always liked the idea of their implementation of it for the original Phenom, and did remember there was problem about it, but forgot what the cause was. Good to see it is still alive and kicking in some form.

    Official: AMD re-introduces FX Brand for high-end Processors

    64 FLOPS per cycle (128-bit FP) for AMD vs 32 FLOPS per cycle for Intel 64 FLOPS per cycle (128-bit AVX) for AMD vs 32 FLOPS per cycle for Intel So it is using the revised power plane thing from the original Phenom? Or did Phenom II had that, I lost track of it.

    FYI...Atom D510 vs. AMD E-350 Power Usage

    By the way, what is the CPU temperature reporting in the BIOS for the Zacate? The MSI one I got is almost always reporting in high 60's and into 70's within about 5 to 10 minutes of booting up. Is that something normal?
