    Cindy Sheehan's former husband and son call her out

    I think until you lose a child to war, either home or abroad, you might want to refrain from judging Ms Shehanns actions and motives. At 2239 post in 60 day or 29 post a day it would seem you might have something constructive to say at Anandtech.

    keylogging

    I did some further research and the keylogging programs can be inserted remotely, as simple as clicking on a link from a poster at Anandtech, and not detected via spy/virus search. It looks like a growing threat that can't be written off to naive of people carelessly using computers.

    Buy a Motherboard with a Processor?

    check the warranty for the combo plate. I think a processor from AMD has a 3 year if purchased 'in Box' (plastic container) and a 1 year if purchased through reseller., eg attached to mobo.

Shorty may be right in looking at a laseerjet, even at a few hundred a month you'll will be spending more on ink., Than initial investment. Another consideration is why the MFC, if one unit is...

    Lsass.exe - System Error

    is this the same bostonredsox, replicon, and my boot & reboot failure? I removed a stick of RAM and things are back to normal.

    What causes memory to fail?

    I agree with Replico on the lower quality standards. my 256K stick is less than a year old and has failed. if it were the heat, dirt, elec spikes my 5 year old computer and every third computer in the city wouuld be just as failed.

    Would a bad video card....

    I removed the 256K stick of RAM, the machine booted and ran smooth the rest of the evening, (512K still installed). Did not do a thorough Root Cause investigation yet to determine if it's the stick or slot. Thanks syko., "your da man". What would cause RAM to go bad?

    Would a bad video card....

    I have the EXACT same problem., ( see 'boot & reboot" below). Haven't tried BostonRedSox fix yet but will keep you informed. Could this be a coincidence or a new viral strain?
