    Why does time slow down as one goes faster

    take this situation: you have two extremely large objects(say for example something a million times the size of our sun) and you place them at extremely far distances apart. So, they are relatively not moving in relation to eachother to start, however they will start moving towards eachother...

    Help for my new computer

    I've heard of the q6600 going beyond 3 ghz on the p35's. As well I think I'm going to get 2 more gigs of the same ram from ncix, it's 50$ right now. If I overclock gpu/cpu/ram all a little bit I think I should be able to get up to atleast 35fps in crysis.

    Help for my new computer

    yeah I'm just testing the waters right now before I actually change anything. The system runs pretty good except for of course.... on crysis. I'm getting max 25 fps and extreme stutter at 1280x1024 so I'm trying to optimize my computer as much as possible.

    New computer, please help me before I throw it on the pavement

    I read in the online hd manual that it talks about SATA speed autonegotiation as a problem for the drive not being found, I'm gonna try that out. also if I do try to install drivers from the vista screen it doesn't find anything and if I look manually in every folder there's nothing I can install.

    New computer, please help me before I throw it on the pavement

    how do I install the drivers from the CD? it says that is has drivers on the cd, but I have no clue how to get them on the motherboard if that's what I'm going for. If I boot from the cd drive it takes me to a system backup program that I can't control

    I've tried every port, that's not the issue here. Including the normal sata's, and yes it says gsata on it.
