    AV and Firewall Suggestions for Linux

    I've been playing around with Linux lately on my PC, and I was curious as to the security requirements I should be considering. I am running a dual-boot setup (triple-boot if I can get XP to place nice :P ) so Linux has access to my NTFS drives. I set Linux up on a EXT3 formatted...

    Mushkin HP Ram - Memtest Errors

    Hi All, I haven't posted in a while, but I am hoping that someone can help me out. I recently picked up some Mushkin HP PC3200 RAM (2-3-2 2x1GB) from NCIX (no, I don't work for them). The RAM came quickly and well packaged (1 day across country, very nice!). Sadly, things didn't work as...

    Thunderbird question

    I've recently started moving myself away from MS as much as possible. To do this I ditched MS Office for Open Office. To my surprise, Open Office is actually really good (way better than it was a few years back as Staroffice). But I needed a good e-mail app. I despise Outlook express, so...

    Sunon Waturbo

    Saw this on Frostytech. Basically it is a watercooling system squashed into a big heatsink. No pump or hoses to deal with. Circulation is driven by an impeller that is driven by the fan's motor. Quote: Link: http://www.sunonusa.com/index2.asp?f=news&p=pr_waturbo (Link has diagrams...

    IRQs, PCI and PCI-E and the A8N32-SLI

    Ok, here are the basics. I have an A8N32-SLI and I was having a nightmare of a time trying to get my Audigy 2 to work without crashing. After much effort, and forum input, I was able to resolve the issue by moving cards around, disabling onboard devices/port (serial/parallel/1394/etc..), and...

    A8N32 SLI + 7900GTX + Audigy 2/AC97 + DX= Sound loop crashes

    Ok, here's the deal. Basically I scored a deal too good to be true (sorry one time only, unable to share with forum members) and I took it. Naturally, I thought I scored large, bolted the kit together and started to hammer the system. Mem and stabilty tests (Memtest+, Dual Prime 95, S&M)...

    Trying to ID the *best* Internet Security Suite

    First off, I realize that a Suite rarely combines the best AV with the best Soft Firewall. However, my friends are inclined to pay for a good suite (Home Office type), and they want the savings ($$$) that a suite offers. Anti-spam is not important as they are all good at avoiding it using...

    Need For Speed - Most Wanted (PC)

    Just picked it up yesterday. and I have to say that I am actually impressed so far. The game is really polished, and it is really fun. The game seems to be a cross between the NFS Underground series, NFS hot pursuit, NFS high stakes and midtown madness. Yes, midtown madness! You have...

    My X2 2gb experiment

    Thanks to ryderOCZ I was able to figure out some problems I was having with some OCZ premier ram, and now it is working great. Suddenly I find myself with 2gb of Ram... hmmm, what to do. I decided to see what the E-Stepping X2 and my trusty (some would say rusty) nForce3 could do together...

    nForce3 users rejoice! New 32-bit XP drivers (finally)!

    Just downloading them now: nForce3 Version 5.11 nVidia has finally seperated nForce3 from nForce1/2. No sign of new XP-64 drivers, so it is beta from 2004 still. Edit: I checked the 5.10 driver, and it is basically the same: Ethernet components are updated, that's it (whoopee...

    Quad SLI

    If this is a repeat post, I am sorry. I searched the forum, and couldn't find anything so... See: http://www.hkepc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=475438 It's not in English (Chinese?), but damn 4 sli slots! Leave it to Gigabyte to make a mad motherboard :)

    X2 + GA-K8NS-Ultra-939 = Memory Errors

    Ok, I have a memory problem with my current setup. The problems only occurs during "stress tests" such as Prime95 (Large FFTS using system ram), S&M memory test and memtest (bootable iso) when I am running in dual channel mode. If I run in single channel (1 stick of 512 or both sticks on...

    Scary Stuff - Warning to all A64 - 939 users

    I have an A64 X2 4200, and the stock cooler was driving me nuts (I don't know where people get the idea that it is quiet, the fan is loud). So, I decided to upgrade to a better cooler. I haven't used a stock cooler since my old (4 systems ago) XP2000. I usually build with AS5 and a good...
