Hello, I have a Buffalo WHR-G54S running the Tomato fireware (V1_27.7) and I would like to switch to DD-WRT. I have searched but I no clear answers were found.
Thanks a lot
Hello, I am hoping someone can help me make sense of this. I am looking to get a cheap barebones PC and am stuck on which CPU's to go with:
-Two physical Intel P4 Xeon 3.2Ghz
-Two physical Intel Xeon Dual Core 2Ghz
-One physical Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz
Which one of the three setups...
I did some sleuth work and found that my CPU fan was ~600RPM. Which seems low to me. I rebooted and set my CPU speed to factory (it was OC'd about 5%) and now the fan is 1500RPM and CPU about 37C. Much better. I have a Sycthe Katana HSF. Odd, any idea why the fan would get so slow?
I have a Abit IP35-Pro + Core 2 Quad Q9450 (2.6ghz) and when I encode some file using Handbrake my Abit uGuru reports my CPU is 75-76 Celsius. Is that too high? What are the same ranges for this CPU.
My normal idle CPU temp is ~ 40-45.
Thanks
After reading a bunch about Primary vs Extended and Logical drives I understand the general gist of how the work. Now, I am in the process of building a new computer and consolidating my frankenstein of a computer (5+ IDE hard drives) into a 1TB sata Hard drive.
I checked my old drives in XP...
Hmm, not really sure. I have not went to that folder for months.
One other weird thing, that drive is 60GB and it is full, but the folders that I can see only add up to 18GB so I think that folder is there it just cannot be seen..
Hello,
I have a folder on my E: drive that was there a few weeks ago and now it is gone. It had some music and some files.
-Of course, "Show all folders" is checked.
-I tried to scan for a unmounted partition with Find and Mount
-Thinking I may have deleted it, I scanned with Recuva and...
Hello,
I have a GIGABYTE GV-NX86T256H GeForce 8600 GT that runs pretty hot. It is passively cooled, and I want to add a fan to cool it.
Do you suggest a slot fan? If do should it blow onto the vid card, or pull hot air away?
So you suggest more case fans? I can rig on in there... Again...
Hello,
I have a Intel Core2 quad (2.6ghz 45nm) running on a Abit IP35 Pro with a Scythe Katana II HSF. When I booted up the PC for the first few times I was getting a continuous beeping which I attribute to the "temp warning" in the bios. I checked and I was getting crazy temps first it was 110...
Hello,
I just swapped out DVD-R for a CD-R drive in my computer. When I rebooted the PC and went into the Admin account I did not see the new drive listed in "My Computer" I checked the System>Device Manager and it is listed with no problem.
I then logged into my Limited Account and it is...
Thank you for your comments. True. I have read about that also. But I think WHS is overprices at ~$150 and would like to learn linux... Any advice on the linux front?
I am looking for some advice on building my first Linux Server. I have an old P4 system that I am going to use. My first question is, is there any hardware restrictions that I should keep in mind...?
I have done a lot of research, and it seems the more I do the more options I find. So here is...
Thanks for the update. I am interested in the "general" state of 64bit OS's. I read some articles they said there is spotty driver support, hardware support etc. but the articles were from 2006. I could not find anything current. Also, are you folks suggesting I use Vista 64 rather then XP 64...
Thanks. I am a graphic designer and I find myself always having 7+ programs open, I believe Photoshop can utilize 64 bit but I cannot find any concrete info. My main concern is that my programs will run not on 64-bit.... I do not really game on my PC.
Hello,
Can someone quickly outline the the benefits of using a XP pro 64-bit?
Also,
can any program run 64-bit? Or do only specific programs designed for 64bit work properly?
Thanks a lot.
My PC is not working properly.
Sometimes when I start it up, during POST, the screen freezes and looks all pixelated.
Sometime when I start it, the PC starts up, but it does not "engage" the monitors, as if the PC is not on at all.
Sometimes it freezes right after I sign on.
I am...
Well this has evolved nicely. I added a poll to get better feedback about what people are actually doing. Now let me ask this, what power strips are the best for doing this? Ideally something that does not cost hundreds of dollars? <$100 perhaps?
Thanks
Wow. Thank you for all the replies but I am still a bit in the dark. I understand that there are 2 elements at play here: energy savings AND longevity of the electronics.
Energy Savings:
It seems the "Power Strip" method will save some energy, but perhaps not as much as some are touting...
Hmm. So is it true that "power-cycling" puts to much stress on electronics?
Plus, if this chart is correct using this technique can save you quite a bit of $, while also helping to environment.

I am trying to save as much electricity as possible so I figured I will set them all up on a power strip. But I do not want to damage my electronics... Is this "brownout" situation still a factor is I turn off my tv, dvd, vid game systems, wait 5 minutes and then switch the power supply button?
!!Added Poll. Please vote above.
Hello,
I have put my electronics (Vid game systems, VCR, DVD, TV, etc) onto a power strip for an easy way to turn them off and on. My question is: does turning them off and on damage them in some way. In particular I have a plasma TV and I think I read...
Hello,
a question has been nagging me for a while now. I am a graphic designer (but by no means a master) and am familiar with the various web graphic format (.gif, .jpg, .png etc..).
I am working more and more with photos COMBINED with gradient backgrounds. Now it seems like gif and png...
I have been to hotscripts and tried numerous simple CMS's, but they are still a bit to cumbersome, but do you know of any scripts that do just what is listed above? I would like to add this functionality from the ground up/learn something so that is why I am looking at the coding side of things.
I do need help please! I am not sure where to even begin in coding this. I am not sure if I need database access, what PHP functions I can use?
Anyone have some examples or can point me in the right direction. I already went through the W3schoosl but I am not sure what functions can do what I...
Hello,
I am working on a website that I am crafting from scratch.
I was then going to tie in some CMS (simpleCMS, Drupal etc..) so some non-tech users could easily use a web based login to add/edit pages. Simple stuff. But I decided against that approach because it seems to cumbersome...

Hello,
I only have a radio shack near me (hate it) and I need to buy some basic electronic parts and equipment. However, a bunch of the places I found online charge way to much for shipping. Any suggestions that have good prices and fair shipping?
Thanks a lot.
