    Encrypted Thumb Drives

    I have searched Google extensively but have not yet gotten any definitive answers. What I need is a thumb drive which has encryption software onboard but doesn't need adminiatrative privelages to run. I have found some things but they're either inconclusive or contradictory. Basically what I've...

    6800 Ultra or 7600GT

    The 6800 Ultra is over a year and a half old, consumes a lot of power as well as many other things that make it least appealing. The 7600GT is a great little card. That's what I'd get.

    Help with a Conroe E6600 build

    A single 7200RPM Perpendicular 16MB cache drive will be comparable to a 10,000RPM Raptor. IIRC the burst speeds of the Raptor can be faster, but nothing noticeable. If you're going to spend that much on a drive, you might as well go with a RAID0 or RAID1 setup IMO. If not a single 7200.10 will...

    Help with a Conroe E6600 build

    Perhaps, but I work with somebody who has installed over 600 drives in 4 years... all Seagates... and has never had to replace a single one And the performance of my RAID setup beats most setups (except ones that have dedicated RAID cards) All I'm saying is that for $230 USD you can get a...

    Help with a Conroe E6600 build

    Rather than going for one Raptor, get two of these for RAID0. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148140 You can go with a lesser size drive with of the 7200.10 series, but this was as close as I could get to the price of the Raptor.

    Need some reassurance on this OCZ 700w PSU choice

    Super, I never said it was the best, most complete, to die for review in the world. If you don't want to read the review, don't read it. Nobody is forcing you. I clearly state that I did not use a DMM. By no means is it complete, I know that. But let's be honest, I could tell you all the...

    Need some reassurance on this OCZ 700w PSU choice

    To best honest Galvanized I'm tired of coming here and seeing you all tell people that 500w is good for a 7900GTX SLI/Dual core system. That's bullshit

    Need some reassurance on this OCZ 700w PSU choice

    Hey Galvanized, I said STRAIGHT UP in the review that I didn't have/wasn't going to test with a DMM. OBVIOUSLY I know that software voltage monitoring is WAY off. But I'm 16 buddy, so I don't have and wouldn't know how to test using a DMM. We use OCZ because they work.

    New built computer keeps crashing

    G.Skill is definately not an "off brand", just so you know Go to G.Skills website and see what the recommended memory timings are for your particular memory. Sometimes the BIOS won't auto configure the timings correctly.

    Just a note: The difference in temperature between the Zalmans on low (completely inaudible) and the Zalmans on high (annoying) is only 1-2c at best, so make sure to keep them on the lowest fan speed

    Quadro 4500FX or ATI X1900XT?

    lol, I'm not jealous... I'm smart with my money. Rather than blowing my money on a $6000 computer I invest and make money. If I wanted one that bad enough, I could order one right now. But honestly, I know that I don't even use my computers full potential, so why bother? Look at my signature...
