    I would like to run some apps while I'm on the computer at work, but without having to install them on that machine - just run them from the USB drive. I have a OCZ Rally 2 4Gig USB drive. If anyone knows where I can find instructions on how to do this I would appreciate it. Thanks.

    CPU Temps

    I just got a new X-Connect 500W PSU, but I had to remove the heatsink to get the thing installed. This had me a little worried because I had to repaste the CPU and this is something I've never done before. When I put the thermal paste on I used only a drop, about the size of a grain of rice...

    Advice on upgrading my Graphics Card

    I am writing to ask the members here about upgrading to another graphics card. My MB is a ASUS P4P800, and my current graphics card is a ASUS V9520 Magic GeForce FX5200. The user guide I got with the MB suggests I only install a 1.5V AGP card. I've been pretty satisfied with the FX5200, but...
