    MB/Memory Recommendations for 6600 upgrade

    I'm looking to replace my CPU, MB and memory with a Core2 and 2 gigs of DDR2. What's the best choice in MB for about $120-130. Decent overclocking ability would be nice, but not critical. I'm more interested in ease of setup and compatibility (after struggling with memory settings and...

    Best bang for the buck with $500 spending limit??

    This is true, however it probably wouldn't be that noticeable with a lowend video card like the 7600GT. Buying used parts is great if you have the constitution to stomach the hassles and risk associated with it. Here's someone selling a 939 3000+ with a MB for $50. He's also selling a...

    Best bang for the buck with $500 spending limit??

    Great work. But he might want to consider a 7600GT instead of the 6800GX. Not only can he get it cheaper, but it should outperform the 6800GX by a significnant margin. Here's one for $109 after rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130062 This one is 119 after...

    I thought I was the only one. I like much about it, but I can't stand the fact that 1/3 of the game is spent on a boat. It makes me nauseous.

    Question about Keylogging Trojans

    The first round of keyloggers I got were not detected by my antivirus software, and the outgoing signal that led to my account getting hacked was not stopped by my router's firewall. The second round of keyloggers I picked up appear to have come in while I was using FF. They were promptly...

    Question about Keylogging Trojans

    Wow, that was uncalled for. Who's covering up ignorance? I fully admit that I'm ignorant, so there's nothing to cover up. But don't haul off with ignorant accusations unless you know what you're talking about. The only ignorance that I see is the assumption that you can only get these things...

    Question about Keylogging Trojans

    I assume y'all are kidding, but in case you're not, these WoW-related trojans are all from WoW-related websites, including some very reputable ones that have been hacked. Besides, I'm VERY careful when I download pron.

    Question about Keylogging Trojans

    Thanks for the info. I just found out that Windows has a built in virtual keyboard, and I might try using this to further protect myself. Is there any relatively convenient way to determine if screenshots are being taken when I mouseclick?

    Question about Keylogging Trojans

    I recently suffered the same fate suffered by hundreds of WoW players -- I got my account information stolen by a keylogger and my account was hacked, gold stolen, etc. Since the attack, I have been a lot more careful about my internet security, using Firefox and Zonealarm, and making sure...

    Hidden process switching me back to desktop from games?

    I used filemon, and it appears to be cause by a file associated with my HP printer. Several HP related programs appear in the list together, one of which is always running in my process list, and several others which must be activating and deactivating rapidly. The funny thing is, I have...

    Windows won't load...keeps rebooting before loading.....please help!!!

    Very odd. The last thing I did this morning was a failed attempt to do a repair installation. I just got home from work, and turned on the computer, and it automatically launched right back into the setup process.....I didn't even tell the machine to boot from the CD. So I waited for...
