    online paid survey sites...Scam or not?

    sites like www.ahwa.org claim that you can work from home and make thousands of bucks per month just filling out surveys. They also throw in a free vacation when you register.

    HOT!! Sony 18 inch LCD for $699 shipped!

    total response time is 30 ms. So this isn't the best monitor for gaming. But visual quality is excellent, what you'd expect from Sony. Check the specs on the sight, overall is pretty impressive.

    How do I fix DIRECT3D mouse lag?

    As soon as I installed my intellimouse explorer, it gave me problems with D3D games. The mouse has a 1-2 second lag, it's horrible. I tried switching back to my normal Microsoft mouse, but now it lags too. Perhaps it is the mouse driver? Help!

    After installing new cooler my VCore value shot up by .10 !!

    what should I do just wipe it off with some isopropyl pads? Does getting Arctic Silver on the L7 bridges make it so that the voltage is not adjustable anymore?

    After installing new cooler my VCore value shot up by .10 !!

    I just recently installed a Swiftech MC370-0A. I was running 10x145 on my T-Bird before with a 1.78 Vcore (I just set it to AUTO on my IWILL KK266-R). Now, it has shot up to 1.88 (reading through BIOS and through VIA Hardware Monitor). Adjusting it lower doesn't seem to help. I don't want to...
