    Frys: Gigabyte P55-UD3R + i5/750 box CPU $199 AR (plus an i5/860 cpu+board for $399) LIMITED QTYs

    Just a warning for anyone who may buy this board... I bought and built a couple systems with this same combo that I bought from Fry's last week. I also purchased some Corsair XMS DDR3 as well. That board absolutely did not like that ram at all. I ended up picking up some A-Data as I'm not...

    New i5 build troubles

    Boot times were fine after a couple of reboots. I finally got symbols fixed in the Windows Debugger, and here is what the memory dump is saying: EXCEPTION_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000005 - The instruction at 0x%08lx referenced memory at 0x%08lx. The memory could not be %s. FAULTING_IP...

    New i5 build troubles

    After upgrading a couple of my friends to i5 systems, the upgrade but hit me as well. However I am damn near regretting it as the new build has given me nothing but headaches for the past week. The system specs are: Intel i5-750 CPU with retail HSF Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3R motherboard 2x2...

    Choosing between i7 versus i5 today

    And now I feel completely stupid about choosing the i5 over the i7. Seeing as how the difference in price was $10, why would I care about not maybe getting the most use out of the advanced features? For some reason I am still stuck though on the premise that something about the MSI didn't...

    Choosing between i7 versus i5 today

    I forgot how much I hate taking the bus to Fry's, heh. Whole trip took over five hours. So I talked to my friend who I do video editing work for and we came up with some numbers as far as what his needs are, budget for the upgrade, etc. etc. With that in mind I walked into Fry's thinking I...

    Choosing between i7 versus i5 today

    The main reason why I am looking to step up from my E8400 is because I could use the extra cores for doing video editing, and it gives me the option to go as high as tri-channel when I have the money for a kit come next month. Also my Abit IP35 has three dead SATA ports along with an IDE port...

    Choosing between i7 versus i5 today

    I wasn't sure where to put this thread, so I hope this is an OK place for it. After finally building a couple of i5 systems this week for friends, the upgrade bug has bitten me fully. Currently I am running an Abit IP35, 2x2 DDR2-800, and an E8400 (not overclocked). Normally I'm pretty...

    Rebuilt system twice and doesn't work - completely baffled!

    First I tried all four of the SATA hard drives from his system and had the same results with each one, i.e. no luck at all. I even tried all five SATA hard drives from my system and still no luck. I also tried various OS discs and media, everything from Vista/Windows 7/XP, etc. etc. As I...

    Rebuilt system twice and doesn't work - completely baffled!

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions so far. Mpilch, I used the manufacturer's diagnostic utilities, along with some off of the Ultimate Boot CD. Blazer, I'm not that technical when it comes to testing out power in the house. However the same thing is occurring at both my house and his. I...

    Rebuilt system twice and doesn't work - completely baffled!

    I've built/fixed computers for the better part of 13 years and have never come across the kind of trouble I am currently having. I have searched numerous computer forums and google to see if I could find any help but nothing of use came up. I am hoping someone here has encountered the same thing...

    Linux vs FreeBSD vs Server 2003

    Thank you for yours and everyone else's input. I think at this point I am going to experiment with a few of the different OSs out there and see what is the best fit. I wish I had better hardware, i.e. could just buy some larger SATA drives etc. etc., but money has been extremely tight as...

    Linux vs FreeBSD vs Server 2003

    I did not use duplication on all files, only files that were written to and changed so that the newest version of the file was always safe. That being said, even some of the files I had duplicated were lost when the system drive went down. The whole reinstall process of WHS really left me...

    I am looking to setup a file server again after giving up on my old one a few months back. Before anyone suggests using Windows Home Server, I would never go back. It worked flawlessly for me for about seven months, and then the main OS drive died. After buying the same size harddrive and...

    Which R4/iTouch/AceKard should I get?

    Definitely the AceKard 2.1, and use the AK All-In-One firmware for it. I bought a slew of the 8 gig Transcend MicroSDHC cards for cheap off Newegg late last year for all of my electronic gear, and they work perfectly in it.

    If you can find a used copy of Gears of War 2 for a good price, that is what I would get. Horde is by far one of the best multiplayer modes I've played in a game.

    What are you playing this weekend? (5/8)

    I'm going to try to sit down and finally play Mass Effect. It seems every time I get it started up, I am not in the mood for long-game play and promptly turn away from it. Beyond that, probably some L4D.

    Connecting an Xbox 360 to my computer - Dazed and Confused

    Since you don't have a version of Vista with MCE, nor a copy of XP MCE, your best bet it to use TVersity. It is a freeware program that will allow you to stream media to your 360. Also, unlike MCE, it allows you to use MKV, Flac, APE, etc. etc.

    Looking for a new shooter

    Gears of War 2 is a great game, but part of what makes it so great is playing Horde mode via XBL.

    Considering you don't even know that TVersity can stream H264 MKV containers, I'll pass up your judgment about the 360 being crap.

    Building a WHS server - BEST CPU to choose?

    Media player and large files no rewind of fast forward

    Well it would help if you could tell us what format/codec the video files are in, as well as what other media players you have tried. Also some specs my help. I have no problems playing anything on my system just using FFDshow with VLC.

    1080p video choppy in x64 vista

    I have no clue why people install all of the various K-Lite, etc. etc. codec packs. The only thing you need if FFDshow and VLC. Installing all the others codec packs just adds to the mess, and thus people have difficulty with certain videos.

    getting a PSP want to get hombrew. is getting the psp 3000 version ok?

    Nope, the 3000 hack was just a rumor. And again, the 2000 is easier, but you have to make sure you get the right model number, as the latter ones shipped with a different motherboard. ETA: Personally, I'd look around for a fat 1000 series myself. The only difference between the 1000 and...

    getting a PSP want to get hombrew. is getting the psp 3000 version ok?

    Nope, the 3000 units are unable to run homebrew as Sony locked down the battery trick to put the PSP into service mode. Also, some 2000 units also have a newer motherboard model in them that will not allow you to mod them either. Do a google search and you will find the answers to what you need.

    I can't fully answer as I don't know how the IHS differs between the i7 and C2Ds, but I honestly would go with putting a small dot in the center, then attaching your heatsink and slightly twist the heatsink around so that it applies the paste throughout. That is what the Artic Silver...

    Is FF12 worth getting?

    I hated it at first, but once I got used to it I really liked it. As others have said the story line wasn't the greatest, but it had enough side quests to keep me busy for quite awhile. It is now a greatest hits and can be had for $20. Well worth it IMO.

Fast forward another year and about 85% of them have degraded so bad that they are no longer readable. I highly recommend just spending the $52...
