    You Can Win a Toshiba SSD With Our Latest Giveaway

    The most important SSD feature for me is RGB, but no one has it yet, so I'll settle for those crazy low access times.

    Can't replace files in Win7, even as Admin

    Thanks for the reply, Bruce. Unfortunately, ownership isn't actually the issue. Everything I check says my account owns the files. The issue is also only temporary. It only lasts about a minute or so before I can copy over an .exe. The biggest issue I'm having because of this problem is...

    Can't replace files in Win7, even as Admin

    I've been having this issue for the past few months and recently it has been especially annoying. Whenever I try to replace (Like copy and paste over) an .exe within a few minutes of it being created (Like through an installer or, again, copy and paste) I receive an error about not being having...

    What if Intel sells its future desktop microprocessors, ONLY with an IGP included?

    I think that would cause a whole mess of anti-trust violations, so it's a very moot point.

    Strong wireless G adapter

    I'm putting together a box to serve as a router and minor media box. I plan on placing it near my TV and copying movies/shows to it when I want them, or just streaming them. I've decided to go with an Atom based mini-ITX board and I'm looking for a wireless card that has a strong signal and will...

    System lock up with torrents

    Yes, I am connecting through the Ralink. However, I never had this problem before with my old motherboard and using the same wireless card. The only change made was the motherboard was replaced and the 640GB drive was added. I don't really have an easy option for connecting my PC to the router...

    System lock up with torrents

    I recently installed a Gigabyte EP43-UD3L motherboard to replace an ASROCK 4coredual-SATA2. I initially kept my Windows installation and had no problems with stability. Then I fired up uTorrent. After a few minutes, my system would completely freeze. No BSOD, no restart, just a freeze. I...

    4850 x2 2gb vs 4890

    You cannot Crossfire HD4000 series cards with HD3000. Despite being very similar, they simply won't work. If you were so inclined, you might be able to modify the driver to support this combination, but I have not heard of any success in doing this and I'm sure if it were that easy, AMD would...

    How to Secure Erase Intel X25-M SSD ?

    A format reduces the life of an SSD by a minuscule amount. Compared to the amount of writing that occurs in typical computer usage, you shouldn't worry about a format doing any long-term damage.

    Phenom II X4 920 support on HP dc5850?

    Might be a tight fit for the power supply. You've got a 300 watt supply in there right now. I'm leaning towards a "no" on this one, but it might be worth a try.

    What's the current state of Diablo II when it comes to cheating/scamming/duping?

    I'm with Dumac on this one. UO and EQ were on par, if not more popular than D2. And they had a much more cult following. Everything was worse on those games. Early UO was pretty much a game of griefing. Duping and botting? Those games practically invented those things. And ebaying was bigger on...

    Internet keeps dropping as torrents run

    Have you tried cutting down on the maximum connections BT is allowed to make?

    Did I void my warranty while prepping my RMA?

    You should be alright. At the same time, don't be surprised if they deny your RMA or whatever. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, I suppose.

    My e4500 needs a new home

    So I have an e4500 and I know it's capable of 3Ghz+. The problem is, I have an ASRock 4coredual-SATA2 which can't overclock and use SATA at the same time. I'm looking for something that will overclock my e4500 nicely (not a challenge) and let me play around with my memory timings a bit. I was...

    Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

    I noticed a few people wondering why they're getting CRC errors when overclocking: Are you using SATA drives? Because as far as I can tell, overclocking AT ALL will render SATA drives pretty much useless.
