    Now you tell me ;-). I just ordered an MSI P55-CD53, but have not ordered the memory as yet. I planned to get 4 gig of DDR3-1600 , so presumably I would not have the problems mentioned here (if I understand the issue) However , if I decide to buy another 4 gig down the road, it might...

    DEAD - Unreal Tournament 3 $20

    Bet I know why. Cause there's no bots and hacks for the new game and 95% of online players are cheaters.

    JVC Marshmallow Headphones

    I'm sure all the et's except the ones I got are amazing. I'm telling you they sucked. I have to assume they were defective, but for <$10 these buds sound fine, especially with a minor amount of eq via Rockbox parametric.

    JVC Marshmallow Headphones

    Listen carefully. These are quite good if you customize the cushion. The crap they come with are too hard, they suck. I use soft earpads, the yellow kind (industrial) but any soft pad will do. Get them at a Rite Aid or any drug store. You cut them to about 1/2" long, burn a hold in the...

    How to best set up a fileserver

    You're using Windows, I assume? Turn off "use simple file sharing" in Explorer>Folder Options>View (all the way at the bottom of the list) and you will get a new "security" tab for setting folder permissions. If you want to block the server from the net, you can block it's IP on the router...

    Oh @#$% privacy invaded

    It might, if it's a simple one and shows up as a regular process. Run these (free) to be sure: http://www.microsoft.com/techn...s/RootkitRevealer.mspx http://www.majorgeeks.com/Icesword_d5199.html You can also install a firewall, which will likely catch the keylogger trying to phone home...

    shadow9d9 dislikes Babylon 5 , because his homosexual advances to cast members were rebuffed. Frankly, anyone that doesn't like B5 is not only a closet case but an imbecile as well.

    You have to realize shadow9d9 is a closeted gay boy. Ignore ANYTHING she has to say, it's tainted with suppressed homoism. shadow9d9, why not seek help at your local church, I hear they can cure your condition. hormones might help. Until then , keep your illness private.

    Recommendation on NB cooling fan

    Don't use a 40mm fan. 40mm fans are bad news. They develop high-pitched whines after a short period of time and will drive you crazy. You'll be much better off with a volt-modded 60mm or 80mm fan running at low RPMs if you care about noise. If you don't mind the noise, a 40mm fan will work...
