    Boot.ini issues, rdisk, dual booting XP can't figure out what is wrong...

    I am dual booting two copies of XP off two different drives but one copy is not loading properly, it has something to do with the RDISK lines I've tried incrementing: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) To multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1) But it doesn't seem to be working, I...

    Video cuts out on and off on machine then 'freezes' power problem? video card issue?

    Here's exactly what happens, the machines video begins to cut out and then come back, and then cut out again a few times until the system 'freezes' (as far as I can tell, since the keyboard lights lock). I'm wondering if this is a power problem or a video card issue. I don't get any kinds of...

    Adding quickpar to benchmark suite test..

    I've been using quickpar on and off for a while now and it's starting to get more important as the amount of data I'm backing up off hard disks starts to expand and errors on bad discs need to be insulated against. I'd like to see it added to the benchmark suite, also quickpar IMHO is a highly...

    CPU for 3D rendering... should I upgrade my E6750?

    I've been getting into and doing more stuff in 3D rendering programas like 3dsmax and maya, and I'm wondering whether it is worth it or not to upgrade to quadcore or whether they are quad enabled (which I'm assuming they are). Right now I have an E6750 @ 3.6, I'm wondering if I should just...

    Ghosting on LCD... driving me nuts!

    I have better vision then the average bear, and the ghosting of text when I scroll web pages and forums is starting to drive me crazy, I do a lot of web browsing and I thought I got a pretty good monitor (my relative won it at a gaming tournament no less!) It is a Samsung 931c, is it worth...

    Camera's - pixels vs vectors - is there a reason camera's don't use vectors?

    I've been seeing the evolution of vector drawing and vector graphics and I'm wondering, why do you think camera's still use pixels rather then vectors? Wouldn't vectors be better for image editing and scaling or are vectors just that much more difficult?

    We see sound - visual system helps process sound

    TV tuners that you can use with game consoles?

    Are there any TV tuners that work properly (update the screen fast enough) to work with game consoles? I got the ATI 650 but the lag makes it impossible to use with a console, so it's in my other machine I use for recording stuff. Anyone who has any experience with Tuners and can test this...

    Anything better then Norton disk doctor?

    I've been using norton for a long time but I've noticed ever since the advent of windows XP that norton disk doctor has been neutered, it cannot be run in dos or from the command line, and the "disk checks" comprise of windows restarting and running chkdsk. Am I missing something here? Or...

    Has anyone had that happen, where they have filled all 4 slots with 1GB sticks and 1 GB of the ram doesn't show up in bios or windows? I know it's not the stick, since I swapped out the stick with another and still get the 3GB... is it posisble the memory socket busted or something?

    What is math? Math is the study of light...

    I think I understand what math is.. (I'm not totally certain but I feel strongly in this direction) I feel I "understand math" in a strange way... because MATH is a subset language, of our alphabetic language and visual geometry. (i.e. what you see/sense/detect). All of mathematics is nothing...

    Strange relationship between boolean logic (binary) and energy...

    I was thinking (more) today that if binary (numbers) can convert any recognizable data, into anything else (i.e. a number can represent a picture, or a sound, or a letter, etc,etc). Then, what represents binary? If there are only two numbrs 1, and "0" (in binary) Then binary must have...

    Re-using heat from PC's?

    Is it possible to re-use the heat being disipated by PC's to fuel energy savings? I was reading a brief article on how something like 50% of electricity is wasted in a modern PC... not sure if that's correct, but it still got me wondering if it might be useful way to save energy on mass...

    Computers close together = crash?

    I've been wondering about this for a while, my new Core 2 duo system crashes my old P4 system when I turn it on within a minute or two of booting the Core 2 system, my old P4 crashes hard. I'm guessing this possibly has something to do with EMI? It is reproducible, so I found it pretty...

    I've been trying to find an MP3 player with a proper mic-in jack to do voice recording for later transcription, some mp3 players have "line-in encoding" but I've already have an Samsung YP-MT6 but the line-enc jack is not the regular headphone sized (1/4"?) jack, its even smaller (1/8?) and I...

    Why aren't their headphones that use wireless network tech?

    I was thinking about this today, most wireless headphones on the market do not use digital transmission for audio, they use old RF method (radio method). It would make much more sense to send packets of an audio file, store it in memory on the headphone chip somewhere and play it locally on the...

    A question about the 8800's and SLI and their connectors

    I recently purchased an ASUS EN8800 and it did not come with an sli connector, I'm wondering just how would a person go for SLI if the card they purchased did not come with one? Or is this a motherboard thing? i.e. you get an SLI connector if you buy an SLI capable motherboard.
