    Folding @ home...

    Seems like the the PS3 and the ATI GPUs work so much better, do people actually still use their CPUs to fold? I don't know if this is the case with the other DC clients...

    Vista Color Profiles... ruining Photoshop

    Vista 64 Business FLIES

    I was running 32 bit Vista Business for the past month, and have been noticing alot of slowdowns in my start menu. I'm on a loaded laptop with 2.0 Core 2 Duo, 1.5 gb ram, 7200 rpm HD, and dedicated Mobility X1700. Needless to say, it was unacceptable, and I was at a loss as to why the start menu...

    Vista start menu lag....

    I still can't figure this out, have done various reformat and reinstalls, and it seems to come down to be a Vista problem. A fresh install of Vista has a very responsive start menu, but as I install more and more things, the start menu slows down! Specifically, it is the All programs menu...

    Readyboost problems

    Anyone else having this problem? I'm running Vista 32 bit and windows will periodically stop using Readyboost. This is on an old machine, but I've realized it's been doing it on new ones as well. Even when I don't turn off the system or go into sleep or anything, I can check my resource...

    What is up with Tigerdirect???

    Maybe this was a fluke but.. I bought the Acer laptop on the Hot Deals section because it was a pretty good deal for a decent looking 14.1 inch laptop (I know I could have gotten a better specced out one from Dell outlet, but they are butt ugly). Anyway, afterwards, my order status said...
