    Can't get core clock above 392 MHz

    I would say try a different cooler maybe - zalman or arctic slilencer? Not sure what the gainwards come with, but I replaced the stock cooler on my eVGA 6800gt as soon as I bought it with an nv silencer and can easily hit 400- and I did use AS5, which will always improve heat dissipation. What...

    Antec Case Doors

    I had two sonata doors break w/in the first 3 months of having it, but I called Antec and they promptly shipped out new ones with no hesitation, and no cost to me. Definitely a poor design on their part, but they make up for it with customer service

    Statistics in chemistry question!

    Ok so for a quantitative chemistry lab write up I have to use error analysis. I know how to calculate a normal standard deviation and confidence interval for a set of data, but I have no idea how to do it for a standard curve. We prepared 3 standard curves for different compounds we were...

    Cheap card for video in and rendering?

    My brother is about to purchase a digital video camera and wants to edit movies (likely with premiere). His current video card is a super cheap ATI 7500. What would be a decent, cheap (~$50-60) card that would allow him to edit and render his movies at decent rates? I guess he doesn't actually...

    DSL Pauses when phone rings?

    Recently installed SBC Yahoo DSL at my house, and it works great except for one thing- the dsl seems to pause for 30secs or so when the telephone rings, or is picked up to make a call. It only bothers me when I'm downloading and have to restart, but im still curious why it happens. As for...

    What do I put on a resume when I haven't graduated yet?

    Hoping someone has some insight into how I should apply for this internship... So I have what sounds like an almost sure job opportunity working a Chiron, but I need to submit a resume. Problem is, I haven't graduated from college yet(getting a BS in Chemical Biology at Berkeley), and do not...

    Organic Chemistry question on Grignard reactions

    Pchem better? You've got to be kidding me. I'm in second semester pchem (thermo and kinetics, first was quantum), and I hate it with a passion. We sit there trying to follow ridiculous derivations, meanwhile neglecting 90% of the actual interactions taking place. It really seems like a joke to...

    Organic Chemistry question on Grignard reactions

    Benzene (or whatever R group is attached to the Mg) will be formed when water is present, which is why you must keep a gringard DRY. Rather than proceeding through attack of your carbonyl, which is the desired reaction, the benzene ring will attack any water molecules around, grabbing a proton...

    Acrobat Reader printing question

    So this class I'm taking has ~20 huge pages of images per lecture, and I want to condense them to 2-4 pages per sheet when I print, but acrobat doesn't seem to have an option for this. Anyone know of a trick for this?

    Need Help from a firefox expert

    Go into your config by typing "about:config" in your url address bar. Then toggle the value of "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" to true, and you'll be good to go.

    Need Help from a firefox expert

    Thanks for the help buz. I tried auto copy and it didnt do exactly what I needed, so i jumped over to those support forums and, sure enough, I wasn't the only one to encounter this problem. It was a very easy fix. Thx again

    Need Help from a firefox expert

    I just switched to firefox, but am having a small issue. When using a site like packetnews.com, on IE i was able to click a link and launch mirc, along with copying a particular phrase to my clipboard (ie a bot command), so I could easily paste the phrase into an mirc window. Now with firefox...
