    Starcraft 2 - Read Post #2 for a useful beginner guide

    Just started playing SC2; just finished the fourth mission. The dancing night elf female in the cantina was a nice suprise. Lol.

    Can somebody PayPal me $100?

    I want to buy another SSD. I love the one I recently picked up; my only regret is that I didn't get a bigger one. It's only an OCZ Vertex, so the write speed is slightly lower than the read, but man it's fast at loading stuff. I'll never go back to using platter drives. If I had the cash...

    A question about IntelBurnTest 2.5

    I've been playing with this piece of software with various CPU, RAM and FSB settings this evening. I've run the test four times, and each time I run it I wait for it to spit out 20 Linpack results. Each time I run a test, the result is the same number 20 times in a row, but each time I run a...

    Worth running DDR2-667Mhz memory at 800MHz (7-7-7-20 timings)?

    I have some Patriot memory that's rated to run at 667MHz at 5-5-5-15 at 1.8V. I've been running a blend test in Prime95 for close to six hours now with the RAM at 800MHz at 7-7-7-20 at 2.1V. Is it worth increasing the memory to this speed if I have to loosen the timings so much?

    PC turning off and on, off and on, off and on... at start up... HELP!

    Problem fixed. Don't try to mount a heatsink/fan that is designed for socket 478 on a socket 775 board. Even the holes fit it will still damage your motherboard. :P

    I think I've had my computer powered incorrectly for almost three years...

    I estimate that about three years ago I put together a new PC. Pentium D 2.8, Asus P5LD2 motherboard, 2GB DDR2 memory, a GeForce 9600GT, one hard drive and one optical drive. The PSU is an Enermax 400W, and is modular from what I can ascertain because the power cords connecting the devices to...

    Did my E6500 Wolfdale come from China?

    A couple people here mentioned core 2 or C2D. I'm confused, as I thought I purchased an Intel Dual Core chip, not a Core 2 Duo. Is it the same chip aside from the cache?

    Did my E6500 Wolfdale come from China?

    I guess that, in an attempt to make me feel like a fool, you replied to the small percentage of my post that didn't need answering while totally ignoring the other 95% that did. Thanks so much for your help :rolleyes:. This is what I was looking to find out. Thanks.

    Did my E6500 Wolfdale come from China?

    So I "upgraded" my Pentium D 2.8GHz and Asus P5LD2 to a Wolfdale 2.93GHz and a Gigabyte GA-EP45-U3DL. I don't know if it's much of an upgrade. It seems more responsive in Windows 7, and I'm happy to be able to use all of my 5GB of RAM as opposed to the 2.9GB that my old motherboard limited me...

    Yeah, I downloaded the plug-in and not the ActiveX. I just installed the latter. Everything works fine.

    Flash 10.1 beta in Windows 7 not working [solved]

    Installed the Flash 10.1 beta, but now any site that I try to watch content (YouTube or TheComedyNetwork for example) I get an error stating that I have an old version of Flash and that I need to install a current version to watch the content. Nothing plays with this 10.1 beta. What do I have...

    Please recommend a laptop for college and some light gaming

    I learned a bit of Visual Basic in Grade 12 programming. I don't know too much about Photoshop. My 10v with 2GB of RAM runs Ubuntu 9.10. I get about 5.5 hours of battery power in Windows 7 and just under 6.5 hours of battery power in Windows XP. If you just want to do "light" gaming...

    If I'm not going to play a MMORPG... what should I play?

    FFXI runs, albeit a bit slowly in populated areas (it's still playable in Whitegate and Jeuno), but with the whole March update and LV99 coming up, I don't have the time to keep up, so I'm going to quit. If I can't keep up with FFXI, I can't keep up with any MMORPG, and I definitely can't start...

    Install nVidia drivers without PhysX and Stereoscopic programs -- How??

    So I downloaded the most recent nVidia drivers and extracted the executable to a folder using WinRar. I want to do a manual install of the drivers so that only the driver, and nothing else, is installed. Even though I do this through Device Manager, PhysX and Stereoscopic3D and whatever else...

    HDD won't boot after Windows 7 installation (nothing happens after detection of HDD)

    Problem (seems to) be solved. I disabled auto detection of the HDD in the BIOS, but Windows setup still saw the drive. I deleted the partitions that were previously created, and then turned auto detection in BIOS back on. I'm going to try the installation again.

    HDD won't boot after Windows 7 installation (nothing happens after detection of HDD)

    As the problem I'm having occuring during the detection of the devices, I am only able to boot from the DVD if I unplug the HDD. Obviously, when I do this, Windows setup does detect a HDD and can't proceed with the installation.

    HDD won't boot after Windows 7 installation (nothing happens after detection of HDD)

    I took advantage of the DigitalRiver student option to download the Windows 7 Professional upgrade. Made a bootable DVD. Started the installation. Deleted the current partition, created a new one for Windows 7. Formatted the drive. Began the installation. Everything went fine until the...

    Dell mini 10v netbook

    That is so good to hear. I can get a 2GB stick of 667 around here for about $25 cheaper than a stick of 533.

    Dell mini 10v netbook

    I'm thinking about ordering this netbook. I've had my eyes on a netbook, but I don't want want that is stuck at 1GB of RAM. The 10v looks perfect provided I can get through all the hard work of upgrading the RAM. Three questions I hope could get answered: 1. What kind of RAM am I going to...
