    Bioshock Infinite, $1

    Just did this & worked fine. Took 20-30 minutes to jump through all the hoops, but worthwhile. Thanks!

    Overclocking Gigabyte K8NF-9

    Hmmm...I seem to be having much better luck with mine. I'm running a 3000+ Winchester at 2347 right now and it's been Prime95 stable for 27 hours and counting. I've also had it run Prime95 for an hour at 2400, until I rebooted, added a drive, and turned down the clock speed because I was...

    **OFFICIAL** Kerry/Bush Debate Thread: 2nd Debate to be 'Town-Hall' Style

    Heh...that's pretty interesting. I like it when Bush first sits down. It looks like his next line should be "Somebody get me the remote."

    **OFFICIAL** Kerry/Bush Debate Thread: 2nd Debate to be 'Town-Hall' Style

    After watching the debate, I'd really love to see what Bush's demeanor is like when he sits down and tries to negotiate with foreign leaders that disagree with him. I guess I'm not that surprised that Bush doesn't think summits are worth anything. Does anybody remember the Cold War, when it...

    **OFFICIAL** Kerry/Bush Debate Thread: 2nd Debate to be 'Town-Hall' Style

    The debate would have been a lot more fun if Cheney had subbed for Bush.... Kerry vs. Bush: Kerry: Saddam Hussein didn't attack us. Osama bin Laden attacked us. Bush: Of course Osama bin Laden attacked us. I know that. Now, Kerry vs. Cheney: Kerry: Saddam Hussein didn't attack...

    Monitor Suggestions?

    I have an NEC 2141 SB, and I absolutely love it, but it was pricey. BTW, NEC and Mitsubishi monitors are exactly the same (except for maybe the calibration software), but you should find that the NECs will generally be cheaper. I have a couple older NEC monitors also, and the quality on those...

    why is this computer so slow? ( Update! )

    I've noticed that on some motherboards the boot time will skyrocket if you don't have the drive jumpers set to "cable select". Give that a shot. I have a P3 733/Via Apollo 133 with 256 MB RAM set up as a garage computer/mp3 jukebox, and it's actually quite fast. Using XP, I mainly run media...

    free pc components and electronics

    Over the summer I worked at a recycling center...sort of like the town dump, except we didn't accept any nasty stuff like kitchen waste and old paint cans. People had to pay to drop off their old (but not always) electronic stuff. Since I worked there, I had first picks on the good stuff...

    Imac ram compatability ???

    I have an IMac w/G3 400 because I was working at a recycling center and someone was throwing it away. It had a bad RAM stick, so I just swapped it out with an extra generic PC100 stick I had (also free from work), and it works beautifully. The Imac is now my internet station when I'm laying on...

    Windows 2000, yes or no?

    I have Win 2K installed on 3 or 4 older machines (P200 MMX to P233 MMX with 64 to 96 MB RAM) and they work well, as long as you take the time to disable any and all unnecessary services, unnecessary network protocols, and ALL GUI special effects. They work well for internet machines. I've been...
