    Re : Problems with loading pages on Anandtech

    Yes. I have been getting the same problem since 1 or 2 months. I thought it was only specific to my office PC. I am getting the same error in my home PC as well. This kind of error pops up now and then and I quickly scroll down and click next page (doing so sometimes work). I use IE...

    I searched the whole forum to get answer to my question but to no avail. Well my conscience tells me, to get any benifit from dual channel setup, it must work in similar fashion to how Hard Disk works in RAID 0. To my surprise I found one link in intel where it says equal amount of memory in...

    Hard disk power scheme

    I always set my HD to turn off 'After 15 minutes' of inactivity. My daily dose of home PC starts from watching TV commercials, listening to mp3, browsing and emailing occasionally. Until I read somewhere in AnandTech that too much turning on and off of HD wears it away quickly than having it...

    Googlie Oogile Desktop

    After reading AnandTech review on OS X Tiger, I wondered why Microsoft never realized need of global Indexing on its OS. It came as a surprize to me that it HAS Indexing Services which I never cared to use before. More than curious how it would work, I started indexing services on both my XP and...

    Personal Firewall for Windows 2003 server.

    I had several unpleasent experiences with Windows 2003 and Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5. From w2k days, I had been using this particular flavor of firewall which has very easy to use features for application level restrictions. For example, it was very easy to create rules to prevent services...
