    Vista, 4 GB, and Dual Channel

    I've read that Vista 32-bit can only recognize something like 3.xx GB of RAM. I currently have 2 GB (1 GB x 2) running in dual channel mode. If I add another 2 GB, will all 4 run in dual channel, or will Windows see three as 1 GB each and the last as less than a GB?

    Cincinnati

    I might be relocating to Cincinnati. I have no idea where to begin looking for a house, but I'm married with a 6 year old daughter, so I'm primarily interested in nice, quiet, safe middle-class suburbs with good schools, but within driving distance of downtown. I've been there a few times, and...

    New 9800GTX Won't Fit!

    I just bought a new EVGA 9800GTX...and it won't fit in my f@cking case! Case: Antec Sonata Solo (http://www.antec.com/us/produc...ails.php?ProdID=18500). Its a standard mid-tower ATX, same size as Sonata I, II, & III, plus every other mid-tower case I've ever seen. The worst part is...

    Corsair DDR3

    I'm looking at some Corsair DDR3 1333 for a new X38 board. There are two parts that would work, but even the cheapest standard XMS is $300, and I'd rather not spend another $90 for the DHX version. However, Corsair's site is a bit confusing on the specs... TWIN3X2048-1333C9: Tested at 1333...

    Core2 Duo vs. Quad

    I've read all the E6850 vs. Q6600 articles...but let's say its between an E6600 and a Q6600 instead. Duo vs. Quad, same clock and FSB speeds (2.4 GHz, 1066 MHz), only difference is $50. Is it worth the $50, and secondly, is there ANY disadvantage to a Quad in this case?

    LCD Advice: ViewSonic VP2130B

    I'm looking for a 20-21" LCD to replace my ancient Dell 21" Trinitron. I'm a gamer, but I also do alot of design work (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), so I'm as concerned with color and viewing angle as I am with response and lag. In my quest for an LCD that is a good compromise, I found the...

    HDTV Help

    I haven't bought a new TV in years, and know nothing about the different types (LCD, Plasma, etc.). What I do know is I have a built-in entertainment center above the fireplace in my new house that is 51" wide and plenty deep. I don't want to spend a shitload, and I plan to also buy a 5.1 HT...

    Best Family Dog

    I had a German Shepherd when I was young and single, and still think they're the most majestic, loyal, and intelligent dogs around, especially considering they're also intimidating when they need/want to be. My wife, on the other hand, likes the usual little, yappy, trembling, girly dogs; in my...

    MSConfig

    My wife was surfing the net and acquired some nice adware. I used Adaware and Windows MSRT, then cleaned up everything else I could find manually (windows, system32, etc.). Only problem is somehow in the process my Creative Volume Control (CTSysVol) was removed from startup and does not appear...
