    MSI Nvidia GTX 650Ti Boost 2GB Twin Frozer...$119.99 ar!!

    I had some issues with a similar MSI card - with the same heatsink. I took off the heatsink and re-applied some old arctic Silver II on the gpu, and the temp dropped 20C. It was great after that. I didn't lap it or do anything else - I just plopped on some 8-year old AS II, and that made a...

    Nook HD+ 9" tablet: $109.99 shipped [alive again 9-16-13]

    10.1.3RC is now working well for me with everything I have, but I don't have pinball arcade (too bad they don't have the Adam's Family table!). But it shows the general problem - someone will say version X.X works great for them, and then you try it and have problems. As soon as they fix...

    Nook HD+ 9" tablet: $109.99 shipped [alive again 9-16-13]

    I think so - I'll try to install GAPP for version 10.1 from a memory stick first, if I can find it.. The RC3 version of 10.1 has actually been pretty stable so far other than the App store not connecting. Still laggy in some places, but better than earlier 10.1 releases.

    Roku 3 $82 @Amazon

    I have the Roku 2, and after some experimentation with various services, I now just use it for local media streaming with Plex. I'd love to drop DirecTV, but these devices just aren't there yet. Redbox instant sounds good, though - I'll have to check that out.

    Nook HD+ 9" tablet: $109.99 shipped [alive again 9-16-13]

    I was able to revert back to the 10.1 RC3 build and everything works again, except Google play won't connect, which is annoying. All other Apps connect just fine (I'm typing this from the Nook). I'm getting a bit tired of the bugs in CM. I know I shouldn't complain about a free OS, but I just...

    Nook HD+ 9" tablet: $109.99 shipped [alive again 9-16-13]

    Do NOT put 10.2 on it - I did and it stopped working - just boots and dies. At least there is an SD card, so you can always reboot from that and recover, but it's still a long process. I really have a love/hate relationship with this thing....

    Nook HD+ 9" tablet: $109.99 shipped [alive again 9-16-13]

    We bought a new 32GB Nook HD+ when they first went on sale at B&N. Although the price was very good, I have to say it isn't that great of a device - at least when you compare it to the iPad2 and iPad3 we also have at the house. It was a bit laggy to begin with, and even though installing CM...

    Best SSD to run VM's?

    I'm often running 2 VMs at a time on my laptop, which I use at work for software development (I have about 20 VMs in total). I've been using two Samsung 830 SSD for about 2 years now, and they've been fine. Before that I had a Crucial M4 and that also worked well. The workload on my VMs is...

    Australian student shot dead in U.S. by 3 teenagers who killed him for the fun of it!

    You're always going to have the occasional single lunatic murderer. I think there's a big difference when you have several people acting together. Also, it looks like there have been a few cases with a death penalty applied to juveniles in Oklahoma: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Hain...

    Internet speed question

    You can't go wrong with the SB6141, IMO, even though a DOCSIS 2.0 modem would have handled your speeds OK. I just tested my old 2.0 modem (Motorola SBG901) and with my 55/10 service it tests at 30/11. My Motorola SB6141 (3.0) tests at 55/11, so above 30 mb or so you need DOCSIS 3. I...

    Using own router with UVerse

    I just installed VDSL2 service a few days ago, and the modem/router they gave me is the Zyxel C1000Z. To get my own router to work, I just set the ISP mode on the modem to bridge mode and then hit Apply. I then set my own router to PPPoE mode and connected with a PPP username and password. I...

    Best cable modem and wifi router for Comcast

    I went through a period of dropouts with CenturyLink, which was really bad as we lost our VOIP Ooma home phone as well. The dropouts seem to happen under heavy internet usage, so on a whim I decided to convert the DSL Modem/router into just a router and run in bridge mode. I then used my own...

    About once a week, computers on switch lose access to network/internet

    In my house, with about 20 devices (including my Ooma home phone) hooked up to the router, through a mixture of LAN, Wireless and PowerLine adapters, I was having a lot of weird dropouts. For instance sometimes wireless devices would work, but wired devices wouldn't. Sometimes it was the other...

    Anyone using Comcast business class at home?

    Damn - you guys are getting some great deals. I am (was) paying $85/mo for my Blast service (55/10) residential service. The service and uptime was great, but the price is just too high. I just completed my switch to CenturyLink 40/5 VDSL2 today, for $45/mo, and an additional $10 off my...

    Best cable modem and wifi router for Comcast

    Funny - I am just switching to CenturyLink VDSL2 service (40/5) from Comcast. It was just to save money, I never had issues with Comcast. I was also using an SB6141 modem, with a Netgear WNDR2000v2. I was getting speed tests of 55/10 with that setup. So I'm losing a bit of speed going...

    help needed with deciding on a wi-fi modem.

    It looks like you in India, so I have no idea how it works there. Here in the U.S. the DSL modem/router that my internet provider provided me (I nought it for $100 US) is Zyxcel C1000Z) and it can do most of that, although I have no idea how to use the USB port. I ended up just setting the...

    Internet speed question

    Docsis 3.0 won't make a difference at that speed. I was getting 25/10 with my old Docsis 3.0 modem before I switched to "Blast Service", which at 55/10 required an upgrade to Docsis 3.0 to get full speed. With cable internet you will get different speeds at different times of day, since the...

    Should I buy a used SSD?

    I probably would have kept it for $40, but the seller was definitely trying to pull a fast one by selling it as new, so probably good you sent it back. I have an X25M-G1 (Gen 1) as the OS drive for my home server, and it runs great, and it has 15196 power-on hours with no re-allocated sectors...

    Using HDD as STORAGE and SSD For Gaming

    For AMD, I think the only thing similar to Intel SRT is FancyCache. It works in a similar manner - you set aside part of an SSD to be used as a cache, and then it automatically starts putting most frequently used files there. So for games, it should start putting the files most used on the...

    Extreme Overprovisioning

    The thing is, I don't think there is ANY gain at all, even a small one, for your usage. Here is a quote from the Samsung web site: "ETC: What Is Over Provisioning? Over Provisioning refers to the practice of leaving a chunk of free space available for use by the SSD controller. The SSD...

    As far as doing a simple clone, it works fine. Our problem was that all the memopry-resident bloatware caused our computer to grind to a halt, and we wasted many hours and spent hundreds of dollars shipping new computers to Taiwan before we figured out what the problem was. Our problem was...

    HOT!! MSI HD 7850 2GB/OC TF $139.64 ar + Crysis 3!

    My general rule of thumb is to only upgrade when you can double the performance, although there are other factors such as how much you can get for selling off old hardware, and if other metric improve such as noise, or the ability to play at a specific resolution. For the most part, only...

    WD Caviar Black prices

    All my SSDs (6 of them) are still backed up to regular hard drives on my Home Server (with the backup folders duplicated), so there is still a need for hard drives out there. I'm lucky as I can wait for the a good sale and get hard drives at a good price. The stagnation in prices is annoying.

    [DEAD]Motorola SURFboard 6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem: $54.99 w/google wallet checkout

    If you start doping anything complex network-wise, then having both routers on (Double NAT) will be a problem. It certainly screwed up my Windows Home Server and FTP site, and things would only work if I put the All-in-one router in bridged mode. You can Google "Double NAT" to see the issues...

    [DEAD]Motorola SURFboard 6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem: $54.99 w/google wallet checkout

    The SBG6580 is DOCSIS 3.0, and pretty decent, and it it meets your needs, then no real reason to upgrade. Comcast gave me the SBG901 all-in-one, and it topped out around 25/5. The main reason I wanted to upgrade to the 6141 though, is that I like to use my own router, and it was a pain trying...

    [DEAD]Motorola SURFboard 6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem: $54.99 w/google wallet checkout

    The nice thing about this modem is that it is officially supported by all the carriers. Comcast gives the 6121 3-star certification, while the 6141 only has one star. I have the 6141 which will work on Comcast, but it took a long amount of time on the phone to get it working. I was also...

    Good SSDs for systems without TRIM?

    Intel SSDs are great for Windows Xp, as they have a manual TRIM you can run (and schedule automatically). However I think Intel may soon be getting out of the consumer SSD market. Samsung SSDs also have a toolbox that let's you manually "optimize" the SSD (I think its a manual TRIM, but I'm...

    HP Pavilion?

    Looks like an OK deal, although I'm surprised how much the video card adds to the price (compared to just using Intel video). Too bad the new gen Intel video is now out yet (at least for the low end). I recently bought an HP laptop with similar specs for $399 at Microcenter - the specs were...

    Help setting up / transferring new Samsung 840 PRO
