Not really sure what was the problem. Uninstalled NOD32 3 and downloaded their latest version and installed it. Didn't fix anything. A few hours later it downloaded a new virus database and it has worked fine since then. Was able to recheck Firefox and still access the net. So basically...
I finally figured out the problem. NOD32 3.0. For some reason something happened to it and it was blocking ALL HTTP connections. The weird thing is I told it to "disable" itself and that didn't fix it. So I went into the options and told it to EXCLUDE Firefox from scanning. Bam, Firefox...
Well, I have been trying to load 192.168.0.1 which is my router and it won't load. Yet I can go into a command prompt and ping 192.168.0.1 and www.yahoo.com and it works. Just won't in the browsers.
But it affects all browsers, Firefox, Opera, Avant, IE7, IE8. None work. I would think a plugin would only affect the browser it is installed in. I guess there are a few plugins that are used in all of them. Will look into it.
Well, last night I had no problems surfing the net. But this morning when I woke up it could no longer access the web (Computer is left on 24/7). The weird thing is Torrents are not affected, neither is playing games like Vanguard. Just seems to be HTTP only that is having the problem.
I...
Anybody had any experiences with building your own laptop? I thought I might try it because I can get what I want this way.
This is what I am looking at:
Asus C90S $950 (comes with a 8600M GT with 512mb ram):

2GB Crucial DDR2 $100...
Anybody have any experience with ZT Systems? It looks like they have the best laptops with the best video cards for the cheapest price. Am looking to buy a decent gaming laptop for around $1k (including a 3 year warranty). I also DO NOT WANT 17". They are just too big/heavy, would rather lug my...
I have found the built in ones to be junk and do a poor job in general. What I did was ran the demo of Diskeeper for it's 30 days then went about 30 days without a defragger then tried Perfectdisk. Perfectdisk has made my windows run a lot quicker. Where it used to sometimes take a few...
Which do you recommend or is there a better 3rd option?
I have tried 30 day demo of Diskeeper Pro Premier ($100 yuck, Pro is $70) and it was alright. Not really sure it sped things up or not. Has resident program that defrags as you work so it could slow system down a bit. Not sure if the...
Hey all, I want your expert gaming advice. I am the president of my colleges computer club and we want to host our first lan party at the college in about 2.5 weeks. So I am looking for suggestions for a FPS and a RTS that we can host as a tournament.
There are two requirements:
It has to be...
He was asking about my problems with the Folding@Home client I believe. But my Grid.org wouldn't downloaded any more WU's. They sat there for a day or two not doing anything before the message was posted.
The SMP Client was Corrupt everytime I tried downloading it. I asked on the Folding Forums about it and they said there was no problems even though another user also reported the same thing. I tried it in 3 different browsers, 2 ftp clients and on 2 different computers. I gave up and am now...
Yes I have drivers 15.00 for my motherboard.
I checked around on nVidia's site and found a PDF talking about this stuff. According to the PDF Vista isn't listed as being supported, just XP, BUT it also doesn't have any of the 600i series chipset boards listed. So it is possible the PDF is...
I just got a EVGA nVidia 680i SLI MB and according to nVidia it has Dualnet Tech, TCP/IP Acceleration, First Packet Tech, etc...
But where do I find this stuff to edit it? I installed the 15.00 drivers from the website and have not seen it in the Control Panel. Didn't see anything in the...
I agree, it was all of a sudden and a bit suspect in my opinion. Supposedly according to the forums they were in the middle of developing a new client so wonder if their funding just pulled out or something. Sad because I had been using them for 5-6 years now. Been trying to download...
I looked into getting some DDR2 800 instead and of all the ram that is approved for that EVGA board, I wouldn't save any money for the DDR2 800. It was all ~$150+. If I returned my current 1066 ram it would cost me ~$40 in restocking fee's and it only costs me $200 after rebates. So it's...
I had alot of stuff in there, some of it I had to cut at this time but plan on getting. Like a second video card, Physics card, K1 (NIC), X-Fi, etc..
Had to cut the Physics card and the K1 at this time.
Doh, oh well, guess my ram is good for several years of FSB upgrades. *shrug*
Apparently not. :( It only has 2. Sli won't happen for me for a few years down the road, guess I can scrounge up another $150 for a better PSU at that time.
Like what? Everything else that I saw like PC P&C...
-The motherboard is perfect, it allows alot of future expandability which is what I need considering this pc will last me the next 4-5 years with little upgrades. It also has 2 FULL 16x each PCI-E slots and a 3rd at 8x, so I can SLI and put in a physics card.
-I used a Power supply Calc with...
Well I went ahead and purchased the parts this morning. You can see what I bought in my OP link. I went for the 8500GT for $100 instead of the 7300GS or the X1650. It is DX10 capable and only $100 with about the same speed as probably the other two. I figure with it's DX10 capability I can...
Ok, I updated my thing a little. Mainly I dropped my 8800GTS for now and am getting a cheapo 7300GT. It's better than my Radeon 9800 Pro (I think?). This will allow me to save a little bit of money until the end of May, begining of June when the ATI cards are released. Hopefully by then...
Yes I game but I have another Data drive in my current system that is 250gb which will hold my normal stuff. The raptor will only hold a few games like EQ2, Vanguard and a few other games that need top notch performance and my Windows Virtual Memory.
Will check out the OCZ PSU.
EDIT...
However for games like EQ2 and Vanguard they need extra ram on the video card for that high of resolution. Plus I plan on possibly a second monitor otherwise I would get the 320mb version.
Take a look at the Dell's. Everything I have heard about them says they are top notch. Also some of the cheapest.
This is the one I am gonna get:

I used a Power Calculator and it figured my system as it is would use 606w and PSU's as they get older lose some power capability so I went with the 700w.
I really like the 680i chipset mainly because it can have 2 full x16 PCI-E cards not the normal x8 per card. It also has a PCI-E slot for...
Well I am really close to buying my new system, it is really stretching my budget because I need another $200 for a 20" Widescreen LCD from Dell. In fact I may have to downgrade the video card a little because of expense. I wish ATI would release their cards so nVidia would drop their prices. I...
Ok, gonna get a 4gb SD card. But I need a new "reader". I have a Sandisk Cruzer but it is USB1.1 only (http://tinyurl.com/2elag9). So I looked around and went out and bought a Sandisk MobileMate but it's horrid. It feels like it is scratching my SD card when I insert it. And I cannot store the...
I am thinking about adding one to my new system that I am building in a month or two since it is down to $150 which is more reasonable price. Not really sure if Ageia can survive the onslaught from ATI/nVidia who are both working on Physics on the GPU though. Tough to compete with giants in...
MSI has a new 680i based board coming out soon that has a X-Fi built into the mb. That's the MB I am waiting for.
MSI P6N Diamond: Baked Alaska (weird name if you ask me)

Well Newegg has a offbrand 6gb micro drive for $25 so can't really go to wrong with that:

Cheapest name brand HD is a 6gb Seagate for $50:
