    Looking for a new printer

    Laser printers are fairly expensive especially a color one. I would go with a Brother all in one. Just make sure not to get one with cartridges with the nozzle built in. Find one that uses ink tanks. So you can replace individual tanks as the color runs out. Unless you already have a scanner...

    how much thermal paste to use?

    That guide gives horrible advice. It is always a good idea to remove the thermal pads that can be almost 1/8 of inch thick or just about anything of the sorts from the heatsink before you seat the cpu and heat sink. Just be careful not to gouge the surface of the heatsink. Using a mild solvent...

    1TB drive introduced by Hitachi

    What is even more amazing is that using certain molecules they could reduce the bit size from 50 electron grains to 1 grain for 1 bit with a storage capacity that would top out at 50 Tera bytes per square inch.

    74gb Raptor 8mb VS. 74gb Raptor 16mb

    Eh I don't know why everyone wants a raptor. Getting a larger hard drive with 16mb cache would be getting the most bang for your buck. Load times on raptors for most things are maybe 1 or 2 seconds faster and that is when the total load time is around 30 seconds for different hard drives...

    PCIe card died, need to swap in a PCI card

    Yeah if a bios doesn't find any graphics card in the main graphics port it will look for a pci card and boot without a problem. Why do you think your card is dead anyways. If your computer seems like it is booting up. Like all the drives and fans spin up, but you don't get any video the mother...

    Does Size Matter: Smaller Size HDD better for OS?

    You don't need a smaller hard drive to speed up your os. Best thing to do would be to have the os on one hard drive and the page/swap file on the second drive. That should net you the largest gains in performance. Also once you get everything setup defragment the boot drive boot sector and clean...

    Socket 754 Mobo Replacement, chose Biostar. Which motherboard company would you choose out of three.

    I will not miss Chaintech and I am never going to buy anything from then ever again. The VNF3-250 got good reviews but I had all sorts of problems. Crappy bios, the latest update changed the default memory timing to 2t and to set it back to 1t you have to set read preamble and async values and...

    radial bearings at 15000 rpm?

    The Mathematics of Cloaking..December 26, 2006

    I think it is interesting, but creating a cloak like James Bond car is probably never going to happen. What will probably come from this research is a way to focus or amplify photons of any frequency which would be very useful in realistic applications. The predator style cloaking will...

    ASUS A7N8X Deluxe BIOS flashing nightmare

    I would suggest loading the mother board fail safe settings and make sure Auto ESCD or Force update ESCD is on. http://www.techarp.com/showFreeBOG.aspx?lang=0&bogno=92 And I would also make sure DMA IRQ are handled automatically. http://www.techarp.com/showFreeBOG.aspx?lang=0&bogno=159...

    How to properly dispose of a UPS

    You can take it to a best buy and dispose of it as a battery since that what it is. They don't charge and it isn't really in the store it's in between the automatic doors. Not sure if it would fit can't remember if there was a small hole or no hole but I am sure it would fit inside the reciptical.

    Socket 754 Mobo Replacement, chose Biostar. Which motherboard company would you choose out of three.

    Well I had to go with the Nforce 3 chipset for the simple fact that I have an AGP 6800gt and the newer chipsets only supported PCIx16 graphics ports and my card overclocks very well so I won't be getting a new card until I build an entirely new system. I found some Nforce 3 250gb boards on...

    I have the Medusa Pro Gamer 5.1 edition. It uses usb for the extra power and with an audigy 2 zs platinum it sounds great. Only thing is the wires connected to the microphone are not soldered on very well and when you rotate the microphone the wires inside can come off. It's simple to fix...

    My beloved Logitech MX1000 has contracted the "herky jerky"

    I love my MX1000 and Logitech support. When I first got the fast rf version when it came out it had bad tracking, but letting it charge completely over night fixed that. Then a year later some of the buttons started sticking. So I contacted Logitech and to get a new mouse all I had to do was...

    Yeah the cons of booting from a external usb drive is that the usb bus is extremely slow compared to if you boot from the internal hard drive with an ide or sata connection.

    Don't get 5.1 headphones for CMSS-3D soundblaster cards?

    I have a medusa 5.1 pro gamer headset and it is better then any other stereo headphones or headset I have ever had. Although they redesigned the pro gamer version so you can't remove the microphone boom any more. Still the medusa 5.1 headphones that come with an amplifier are a very good choice...

    Gaming headphones or headset?

    Well for me I have a audigy2zs platinum and I have been through a lot of different headsets. I have had Sennheiser PC 150 and it was a good headset, but the only problem was the fact I would sometimes roll over the cord with my chair. The speaker wires were thick enough that I never lost sound...

    A bios guide that explains the options.

    Absolute Zero

    Well you can get very close to absolute zero using lasers to force certain gases together, which are suspended in a magnetic field. Then say if you took this apparatus and increased its speed relative to us then it would appear to get cooler and cooler, but it would never reach absolute zero...

    Sorry for being kind of mean, it's just that information about bios settings seems to be lacking. The manuals never tell you anything and even if they did when you update your bios you often get new options. As for the nano second read preamble and asycn values I couldn't find any that...
