What's the worst fragmentation you have seen?

My work laptop died yesterday, so I was forced to use the backup to the backup. It ran very slow, so I dumped 15GB from the CSC folder and defragged. Upon reboot, Windows would not load. The C: drive was completely blank! Anyway, below is the defrag report. The MFT having 490 fragments is...

Tire pressure questions

About six months ago, I got 4 new tires from the tire guy near where I work. In October, my oil change guy said my tires were overinflated by 8 pounds so he let some air out. I might be crazy, but I think I have a vibration that has gotten increasingly worse since then. A couple weeks before...

HOT!! Super Talent DDR2-800 2GB Single Module (1x2GB) $16.00 + ship

What would happen if I used 2 of these 2GB sticks in a 32 bit Windows XP machine? I always hear that 32 bit can only handle ~3.6 GB. So would it cause glitches and crashes? Would I lose the minor boost that dual channel provides?

My Z680 subwoofer blew while watching Transformers

I do see your point about getting a better sub. My entertainment room is 18' by 11' with the viewing position pretty much in the center of the room. My previous setup had been adequate to my ears. But as I am audio n00bic and you are the Soundman I value your opinion. So if you say I would...

My Z680 subwoofer blew while watching Transformers

Well, I checked the fuse on the back of the sub. It was fine. Are there other fuses that can be checked or is the unit likely beyond hope? The sound card in my computer is a DIAMOND XtremeSound XS71DDL. So (correct me if I'm wrong) there should be no issues connecting to any receiver...

My Z680 subwoofer blew while watching Transformers

Thanks for the info guys. By blew I mean the sound went snap, crackle, fizzle and the closet where I keep my gear filled with smoke. Also, a very ominous hum began eminating from the sub. I will check the fuse tonight. The system is used primarily for movies and games via computer. If the...

My Z680 subwoofer blew while watching Transformers

Are the Z680 speakers worth keeping? If they are, I suppose I could get a receiver and new sub. The other option I am considering is a HTIB. My budget will be ~$500. I would appreciate recommendations from those who know more about audio than I do. Thanks in advance.

Math/Geometry question

This seems just like a horizontal curve for a highway alignment. R=(360/(2*pi))*(L/delta) R=(360/(2*3.14159))*(32.5/10)=186.2

Game is final! Oregon 39 - Michigan 7. Another beating at home for Michigan.

How has Wisconsin done against Michigan in the last decade? If Ann Harbor is a whore, what's that make Madison? A toothless gimp?
