    Software to add auto-checksum functionality to windows?

    I was wondering if there is any software out there that adds checksum functionality to windows so that when you move large files or a large number of files it will automatically check the contents to verify before and after to make sure no corruption occurs as a result of the file move. Thanks!

    80+: Is Antec telling the truth?

    Saw this article on, looked at my own PSU's and it seems to agree with what the guy wrote. Looks like a 500W Earthwatts really is minimum 550W, ie, they decided to just use higher watt psu's to make them seem more efficient. Can anyone confirm this?

    Garagesale graphical issues on a mac mini

    Ok saw over on FW that someone was having issues with displaying the template "Choose Listing Design" option, where it will often freeze up and require a reset to get it working again. I sort of have done a workaround whenever I've used it where I'll just enlarge the window very slowly and...

    Best C2D Intel Crossfire board on a budget?

    how to tell an OC'ed c2d?

    Hey guys, I bought a used e6600 off ebay. It had what looked like a fingerprint on it, but that wiped off with some handy alcohol and the cpu looked clean. What I was worried about was that the heatsink from the CPU had either a burned or corroded ring (seemed like the outline for former thermal...

    Upgrading a Laptop LCD

    Is it possible? My laptop came WXGA, but I see part numbers available for the model (through ebay) that are WXGA+. Would it be possible to just get that and plug it in or do they use separate connectors? Thanks in advance

    Memory reference errors on GA-965p-ds3 w/C2D

    Hey, I've been getting weird memory reference errors. Usually doesn't crash the machine, but can be a pain in the butt. It rarely happens playing games, so it's not the video card. It seems to happen more when I've got a lot of programs running at once. Makes me think it's CPU, PSU or memory...
