    Bios on boot says Ipod is "full speed device"

    When I boot my PC it says my Ipod is a fullspeed USB storage device. Yet when I transfer files to the ipod its pretty fast, I'm pretty sure its working at highspeed usb2. I've tried every USB port on my PC, not just my LCD ports and front ports. They all report it as fullspeed. I have the...

    Touchdown! 8800GTX fits the Antec Super Lanboy

    Wanted to make sure theres a thread up to let people know in doubt, the 8800GTX does indeed fit the Antec Super Lanboy. Its a tight fit.. but it does fit with no case modding! And I'm typing on it NOW! I posted an earlier thread that it is confirmed to fit the Aspire X-QPack as well. This...

    Geforce 8800GTX fits the X-QPack

    Came across this tonight and thought there might possibly be a few people out there interested in knowing this. The X-Qpack is one of the most popular SFF cases out there, since it is one of the few that can fit a standard size PSU. I personally prefer the SuperLanboy to the Qpack.. but this...

    Official Press Release Done deal. ATI as we knew it, will no longer exist. Its headquarters will likely now be in America with AMDs and profits will go back to the USA. AMD needs all the help it can get in its struggle against Intel (which is even clearer now with C2Ds release), dont...

    How to balance out dual rails

    This is my PSU. This is the FSP PSU I believe its based off and a diagram of the wiring. Link One of computings great mysteries to me, and prob others, is how to figure out what cables go to what 12v rail. If you look at that diagram, you can see theres two bunches of cables branched off...

    So basically, Conroe is another Northwood situation again

    So Intel has themselves a decent chip now. But the A64s aren't "blown out of the water" by any stretch of the imagination. Blown out of the water was the Athlons vs pretty much every Pentium4 created besides Northwood. I like Conroe, just stating that the performance increase and its...

    Home stereo experts! Which receiver for these speakers?

    Speakers I've worked it down to these two recievers. Number1 Number2 I like the Onkyo cuz it will play XM HD 5.1 channels in full 5.1.. while the Sony does not (but does work with XM, which I need). The Onkyo is also 192/24 on all DACs. But the Sony is 100watt RMS and I was told...

    Why is MSN Mess so slow for file transfers and AIM so fast?

    AIM maxes out my upload speed of 30k/sec constantly when sending a file, and MSN (or Windows Mess or the Live Beta that Im currently using) exhibits this behavior.. I'm lucky to get it to transfer anything it moves so slow. 5KB/sec tops. Webcam and voice seem to work perfect over it, no...

    Wheres a good preferably free place I can host a ASP.net2 site?

    Are there any free sites that let you build a site using asp.net 2.0? Or do I have to go thru someone like godaddy? I dont really need my own domain name and all that, even a geocities type place that allows me to use asp would be fine.

    Oblivion Benches: Why the disparity between GTX512 and 7900GTX?

    Theres quite a large jump in SLI performance @1280x1024 from the GTX512 to 7900GTX.. it was always my assumption the 7900GTX was primarily the easier-to-produce, higher profit version of the GTX512.. it makes me happy considering I have a GTX on the way though. but the gap is much larger...

    Co-op shooters

    I can think of Serious Sam 2.. and thats it.. there were a few older games that were, maybe Doom1.. Quake 1 for sure cuz I beat it with a buddy over 28.8. Few other oldies, possibly Marathon.. but as far as new games theres even less.. am I missing any? SS2 pretty much tops my list.

    Ideal CPU for BFG 7900GTX OC?

    Currently on a 3200+ Venice, it does OC nicely but need to know what the ideal performance level is to not restrict a GTX. For some reason 3800+ speeds stick out in my mind as being the necessary speed to not hold high end cards back these days. Any good CPU scaling reviews out there?

    Flashing Verizon V3C to .02 firmware

    I am strongly considering flashing my Razr back to the .02 firmware as I'm guessing the only changes made to the .03 firmware was the loss of OBEX. Didnt know if there were any UI speed changes or anything else? Post your experiences with this.

    HOMM5 Demo

    Seems good so far but I'm starting to think the 3D aspect of the game is more of a hinderance than a boon. I'd rather see a locked 3D perspective, basically just like the old games but in 3D instead of 2D.. I find myself rotating around and almost getting disoriented. I like the way Warcraft...
