    Driver Issues with M11x R2

    Formatting Question

    I'm planning on using my current slave drive as a master drive in a new computer. It was previously used as an extra storage medium; it's filled with useless data, and I'm planning on formatting, and as a result wiping, it to have a blank drive to install a new copy of Vista on my new computer...

    Did you find GTA IV boring?

    GTA IV never really had a particularly engaging opening salvo, or for that matter, first act. Little Jacob, I remember, was when you first are entrusted some hand held justice and gunpowder, so you are in fact very close to many of the exciting and challenging adventures up to and including...

    Official Xbox 360? Thread...Part Deux

    I'm considering the official wireless adapter for playing online. Is there anything I need to know about i.e. lag issues, cheap deals? Also, will this allow me to sync it to my home network PCs (I use an Apple Airport Extreme)?

    Anyone have a PS3 and loaded YDL 5 on it yet?

    I've always wondered if I should install YDL, Gentoo, or Ubuntu. Is there any significant difference that I should go out of my way to install an unsupported one?

    Problem Downloading Files

    That makes sense, considering this is a loaner computer, since Fujitsu didn't send enough new laptops in the first place. Who knows what happened to the RAM after a year or so.

    Hey, I've heard of S.M.A.R.T before, but how do I use it (remember I can't download it, and my other rig is being repaired.)
