    voltage setting"

    Yes I have read the sticky but nevertheless I am still confuse. It's my understanding that all those voltages were adjusted in order to get the best overclock with the minimum of heat dissipation but honestly I am trying to cut myself some work here if possible. I am not a hardcore OC'er and can...

    voltage setting"

    I was wondering if I can pull out a light OC (Q9450 2.67 @ 3.2) by only adjusting RAM voltage and CPU voltage and let the rest of the voltage settings on auto ? Could this cause me problems with auto setting trying fun things like over shooting or under shooting some settings such as North...

    Core i7 or C2Q?

    Core i7 or C2Q?

    To the OP : It's a tough decision you got to make for sure as any decision taken on the verge a new hardware launch is. The problem is pretty much always the same here, new hardware almost always provide improvement in performances and technology but it comes at a cost specially when recently...

    So, I was sitting there bored last night...

    For those of you interested in getting ideas of built well made I'll suggest a very good Diablo site, It's Diabloii.net, It's probably the best fan site around that's still active with a wealth of information on the game. For some odd reason I can't connect to the site anymore but it should...

    Are they lying?

    I think a lot of those temps are reported inaccurately. Honestly, I have been trying out quite a bit of softwares to read temps and it's seems rather hard to get credible or accurate reading from most of them. Even using the few best known program might result in discrepancies. Many people...

    Name one major game you didn't enjoy!

    Contrary to many here, I certainly enjoyed Diablo 2 and LOD but it's getting old now. Game I didn't enjoy, WC3. I bought it, played it like 2 hours and got bored. Been there done that. I hate FPS game in general, too many of them for my taste in the gaming industry.

    Converting DVR-MS files into other format

    The title says it all, I like to know if there is a good program that would allow me to convert recorded TV shows or movie from DVR-MS to another format that can easily be ported to other media reader. ( standard DVD or a computer that is not equipped with MCE or WMP ). This will also allow me...

    What's your personal playing time record for Steam games?

    I can't put an exact number of hours on it but when Diablo II LOD came out I must have played easly between 120-150 hours in the frist 2 weeks and my playing time was probably over 50 hours a week for many of the following weeks.

    Did anyone play old Sierra or LucasArts games?

    I have played a couple of the early sierra's games. One I remember was a kind of RPG in which you would fight with magic and such. I don't remember the title but I remember that you needed a boot disk to play it. I was never able to finish the game because at some point it would just crash.

    Diabloii.net

    I used to be a big Diablo fan and still play on occasion. One of my primary source of information was the Diabloii.net site which is IMHO one of the best fan site around. Sadly, I've been unable to access the site for the last 2 weeks or so. Anyone knows if the site has been shut down or...

    Looking for a laser printer

    At home we are using HP 1012, not complain so far. We've been using for around 3 years or so. It's a good little home printer. At the office we are still using one of those Laserjet 4P. The thing is practically indestructible. It's been going strong for I don't remember exactly how long...
