    How would you explain the concept of Color..

    I also don't think sound is limited to human interpretation, but I do think sound is limited to one's interpretation, whether human, rock or otherwise. So I think we sort of agree here. Here, I don't agree. It seems you're equating a rock to a blind person, but I assume you're talking about...

    How would you explain the concept of Color..

    Vibration is vibration. Sound is what our ears interpret that vibration as. Just my way of thinking of things I guess. I don't know, if I walk into a wall, even if I have no senses at all the wall is still there. If you keep looking closer and closer at that apple it 'loses' it's color...

    How would you explain the concept of Color..

    Color is an illusion our eyes play on us through our brain. Our eyes are merely organs which are very good at detecting the differences in bright and dim light sources and more incredibly, the difference in wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation on the order of parts of nano meters. It's the...

    GTX 295 vs Radeon 5870

    Random question here. Basically the driver writing teams often have to reprogram the GPU to work with 'funky' code from the game? I mean, you can't really say the driver is at fault if the game is spitting out unexpected data to the GPU. Even if it works on one driver set but not the...

    Riva Tuner

    Well it is, in a way. The sensor is on the surface of the card. So the ambiance is a little hotter right next to the GPU. :) That's what I think anyhow.

    Which 500GB HD?

    http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=1315863 Newegg has the 750GB Western Digital Caviar GP for $60 free shipping. ZZF also has it for same price/free shipping. Unless you live on an island. :/

    AC Adapter and Laptop Batteries

    Maybe about your computer but, it seems if you have a Li-ion battery instead of Ni-Cd the most damage is from heat. Not from frequent recharges as I thought so the 'cool' feature I found might not be so useful. But, if I'm reading every thing right you should have your battery at about 50%...

    4GB or 8GB

    Isn't the reason you use x64 is because you have more than 4 GB of RAM? Doesn't the increased memory address for 64 bit turn 4 GB into ~3.5 GB effectively? So if you're not using more than ~3.5 GB of RAM you should be using x86 Vista? Notice the question marks. Just trying to further...

    lost my overclock ability, help

    This is all I have to do to solve the same problem. Turn off computer. Unplug USB game controller. Unplug computer, but turn the PSU on. Hold in the power button for about 5 seconds, 3 times. Re plug in computer and boot. Good luck, but I'd try this before invoking the CMOS gods. ;)...

    Dumb question RE: stress testing

    While I agree that doing other things while running Prime is a better stability test unto itself, one should not say they were 12h Prime stable unless that's the only thing running. Because of what Quiksilver said up there and here are some temps that I've seen. When I run small FFTs my temps...

    AC Adapter and Laptop Batteries

    A cool feature I found on my work laptop is you can tell it to only charge the battery when it falls below a certain percent. You can avoid a charge cycle when you just unplug it for a few minutes or when the battery just loses that first 1% it doesn't run the charger when you plug it back in...

    Which chipset is faster for RAID0 on a Gigabyte EP35C-DS3R?

    I'm using XP 32bit and just a p35c-ds3r, and although I couldn't notice a difference in day to day usage, the ICH9R chip benchmarked about 10% higher using HD Tune after I switched. (I learned one could have a non RAID member disk on the ICH9R, so I moved the RAID up) Hmmm. I wonder if it...

    8800GTX still up to the task at 1920x1200?

    Raid 0 Partitioning?

    Just free wheeling from what I've read, but would like to learn. As for partitions on a single (Raid or non-RAID) drive, it's the same as just putting things in different folders...you just get separate drive letters. Accessing a folder or partition takes the same resources/time. Wouldn't...

    Whats the furthest you've been able to overclock your Core 2 without adjusting voltage?

    I'm can get to 3.4GHz (8x425) on my 6750 with 1.35V. Actually set to Normal in BIOS because I find EIST/CIE voltage regulation works better. I jump all the way down to 1.168V from 1.312V on the multi drop. Seems to always stay above 1.2V when I set vcore to 1.35V in BIOS.

    I would say that's borderline safe. Some would say that's just fine, some will say too hot. I'd say if you want to run the chip for more than 3 years, get those temps down. EDIT: I just saw you have the Thermalright 120? Sounds like a bad mount. With those voltages I would think it would...
