I've got the 7700 on a 3.6 prescot, and it's brilliant, so a 7000 for a 3.0 is a good choice, you wont regret it. althogh I will say fitting them is a pain in the behind! I get idle temps of ~25 degrees and 100% load temps of 35 -40 at the very most most, although I do have a lian-li V2000...

Couldnt agree more. There is virtually no doubt about this. Gravity travels at c. So do EM waves, and hence magnetic effects, for the people who were doubting that! As for gravitons, particle accelerators like CERN are not the tool for detecting them. Infact, the graviton analogy may not be...

Here's a simple way to ensure that the sender and receiver know which key to use in a quantum cryptography system; have the system generate exess data, alot of it (like 10000 times or more). The systems at each end can then compare a random sample of the data (say 10%) on an open line to check...

In reply to the orininal question way way back, those "lifter" things are almost certainly working on the principles of ion propulsion (like NASA NSTAR or ESA SMART-1), albeit in a crude and ineficient way. Electrons are stripped of the foil or what ever it is and accelerated to the cathode, and...

Generally, due to the observing distance and the size of the galaxy, the difference between the relative emission times for the centre and outer edge of a galaxy is not that long, add to that the fact that galaxy evolution is very slow, and you end up with more distortion resulting from viewing...

A strangelet is effectivley a lump of matter composed entirley of strange quarks. Quarks (for thoses that dont know) are a group of 6 particles from which all hadrons are composed (ie protons, neutrons measons etc). The six are; up, down, top, bopttom, strange and charm, and there are also 3...

I'm connected to a wireless network using the onboard wireless on my p5ad2. However, the last couple of days, it keeps disconecting every 5-10 mins or so and claims to not find any networks in range (despite working fine for 3 months). I movedthe router (a Linksys 802.11g) right up close to the...

The equation that demonstrates all this is actually quite simple. It links the relativistic mass (ie, the mass you have when you move, becasue when you move you're mass increses.) with the rest mass. This is the mass we are all familiar with, its the mass of an object at rest, although, the rest...

Well, I got it working. Still can't beleive I was that stupid...

omg, duh me. It never even occured to me that I was using an old copy of windows...I thought i'd picked up a sp2 one, but I actually put in an original copy of xp.. i'm off to update then, thanks.

I've just put together a new system (been saving up for months to get it) and have run into a problem. Windows wont recognise all my HDD space, less than half infact (127GB out of 300GB). Re-running windows set-up makes no difference, it still only detects 127GB of the drive. This suggests it's...

Ok, I too wanted to know this, so I looked arround a little and after a little while, found out whcih header was which. The hedders are on the top left of the card, and starting next to the SB logo are: 1. analog ground 2. analog headphones out L 3. backpannel mute (mutes the speaker...

Well, I was thinking about £100 (~$190), but I could just baout stretch to £150 (~$290) if I find something really good. But it would have to be one sweet mother for me to shed out that much!

Hey, I'm in the middle of building my new comp and I've struck a problem. I was going to use a Mac G5 style case by Alpine, and fit it out with 4 SilenX 80mm fans on an Akasa fan control (both of which I've ordered). But I just found a review of the case which doesn't speak too favorably of it...
