    Upgrading to Core i7, need advice

    Pretty much every review I see completely skips the 860 and 870 and only compare the I5 750 to the I7 920. Why are everyone ignoring the I7 8x0 ? Are they worth it in the end? Should I just go for the I5 750 if I plan on getting a 1156 socket and if I really want the I7 experience just grab a...

    Upgrading to Core i7, need advice

    Well, I saw a table with all the "flavors" side by side and saw that the vanilla P7P55D has less of pretty much everything. Less power phase [edit: it's only true for the LE flavor, my mistake], less connectivity, etc. I just wonder if my usage justify the need for more than what the base model...

    Upgrading to Core i7, need advice

    I don't really have the luxury to wait a couple of months. The longuer I wait, the sooner the baby is here and we all know that means the death of whatever budget you had for whatever that is not directly for the baby.

    Upgrading computer - Need graphic card advice

    I just want to point out that my motherboard is dying. I have to change my motherboard. So instead of buying a S939 mobo, I'll get the complete set. It's a shame I have to replace my memory but it's a necessity. And at the moment, WoW is struggling on my PC because I run it at native...

    Upgrading computer - Need graphic card advice

    After reading a couple reviews, I've seen that the X1950XT really is a lot faster. What confuses me is that it's around the same price point at my local store... I thought it was around the same performance. What type of X1950 card would be in the same performance category as the 8600GTS ? X1950...

    Those lovable Confidentiality Footer

    Some people take email VERY seriously. Some people in my organisation use confidentiality footer on all their email to ensure I don't have the "legal right" to forward their email, even those "yea, sushi would be good" ones. I'm looking to play a joke on these guys and include the longest...

    Convert bash script to windows

    And to answer your question : 1- Yes the manufacturer knows about this. 2- The official response that I know of is : "Your camera supports up to 1gb cards in TIFF mode". I don't know of any firmware update or software workaround officially supported by Panasonic.

    Convert bash script to windows

    Hi, I have a problem with my FZ20 camera, 2gb SD card and TIFF pictures. Every time I take a TIFF picture with my camera on my 2gb card, it corrupts the file. This guy on Flickr made a bash script that cut out a 16kb block from the picture, "decorrupting" it but it's in bash. Can any of you...

    MAC OSX - Odd little things happening

    And you were helpful! :D I was not really offended, just a bit surprised. No hard feeling mate. I've seen a lot of little things that can't really be fixed in Mac OSX. What I think is a problem is not really the little quirks, it's the way people seem to think that because it's OSX, it's the...

    CSA Mac layout on PC

    Hi, I'm using MacOSX now and each time I go on my PC at home or at work, I need to adjust to the "right" keyboard layout. I would like to know if there is such a thing as "French Canadian - CSA" layout that is installable on Windows XP. Or, is there a "Canada (Canadian French)" layout...

    Intel 2195ABG + WAP = no-no!

    Well, that's it. I fixed it by putting a static IP on my laptop. It's fixing a leak with scotch tape but eh, when nothing works, this works. I don't have a clue why this is happening. I'll put a list of keywords in hope that someone will stumble on the same problem I have, use this temporary...

    Intel 2195ABG + WAP = no-no!

    Made a quick mistake here, marked 192.168.0.1 as DHCPable. Fixed by putting the range from 192.168.0.10 ~ 50. Rebooted everything : computers, modem, router. Still not working on the laptop, still working on the desktops.

    Intel 2195ABG + WAP = no-no!

    Yeah, thanks for making sure I was using the good key, but I did encounter this type of problem before and I'm quite aware that these are the symptoms. My DHCP should be able to give out 49 IP. 192.168.0.1 ~ 50. Well, not really the 1st one... ;) There are 3 computers on the network.

    Intel 2195ABG + WAP = no-no!

    Ok, got some things working. I am currently writing this message from my laptop (using a bad key it seems, joking) and I find that if I assing an IP without DHCP, it's working. So it's not the key, the encryption or whatnot, it's the DHCP lease that is not working. But why only on my laptop? :o...

    Intel 2195ABG + WAP = no-no!

    Ok. For the last time, just to make extra sure it's clear : its not the key. The key is fine. It's A-ok. If you don't know why I'm having problem, it's no big deal, you can't resolve all the problems in the world, nobody will think any less of you. Now, if you don't have any more clues than the...

    Intel 2195ABG + WAP = no-no!

    It's not a bad key. I pasted the key in my router from a notepad file on my laptop, confirmed, drop the CAT5 then pasted it into my WiFi app, from the same clipboard. It's absolutely impossible that it's a bad key problem. WPA-PSK, 63 ASCII char. Works fine at the girlfriend's house...

    Artifacts (I think) at bootup

    I would check with a clean copy of Windows before hitting on the PSU. Do you have a spare hard drive? Maybe the drivers from your nVidia is conflicting with your ATi board, who knows?
