I have thought about getting a new mobo but then you are looking at a money pit. My system is a little over 2 years old but I am limited in what I can upgrade my CPU to because of the mobo and even if I could get a faster chip in, it isn't going to be THAT much faster unless I go with an i5 or...

sigh...I think I fucked up here. I was under the impression that crossfire and SLI were the same thing and after some more digging it looks like they aren't which really pisses me off. sigh...now what to do...return the cards and get nVidia replacements or replace the mobo (which I REALLY don't...

I just got my Saphire Radeon 4850's and am just freakin amazed at the performance boost over my old Geforce 8800GTS but I have an odd issue that has cropped up. When I boot the system, rather than going to my hard drive to boot, it is trying to access my DVD drive (no disk was in the drive). It...

jrdonnaruma - I love how you just shut up udo...guess he didn't know as much as he thought he does. I have an original Macbook and have had it just over 3 years now. the only issue I had was last year my hard drive went belly up and I replaced it with a new 320 gig drive. I did have an issue...

sigh...I have to say I was hoping for something more than what we got but such is life. This was touted as a 'revolutionary product' when it was more of an 'Evolutionary product' and while that isn't a bad thing, they did miss a few items. I don't need to go over them again because it's...

Hey guys and gals. I have (2) Western Digital WD800s that I am not using any more. I took down one of my servers and pulled the twin 500 gigs from that and figure that should do it for me for a while ;) but now what should I do with the old drives? I have a 40 gig that I am going to use as my...

haven't had many issues with mine in the last month except for issues joining networks after I turn the wireless off. I do that due to battery drain and at work I can't get on the wireless so no need to turn it on, but when I get home, if I turn it on, I have to turn it back off after connecting...

I haven't tried VMWare Fusion but have used Parallels for some time now and on my Macbook it isn't that bad. I don't think I would try any gaming on it..but then again I can't really game on it anyway even if I was booted into XP ;) Also look into NeoOffice for a replacement to MS Office..works...

as somebody that worked in Tier 2 AppleCare for longer than I care to remember....you can upgrade RAM on any Mac (IIRC) with out voiding the waranty. If an item is not listed as a 'Customer Installable Part' and you replace it..fine...warranty is still not voided...if you break something in the...

thanks...this is actually for a customer and I was able to sort of workaround it as it turns out there is a command line option to run our product as a service... it works but it is kind of clunky so I sent him that as well.

Thought I would throw this out here because SOMEBODY has to know how to do it. What I need to do is run an application as a service so no windows open up. This program needs to run at startup and does background copying to a database but what is happening is people see the item in the task bar...

now that the G3 iPhone is announced...what do you think is going to happen to the iPod line? I have talked to a couple of friends that still work there and they are waiting as well. If you look at the current price structure, 8Gig iPhone at $399 and the 16Gig at $499 (IIRC) 8/16/32Gig Touch for...

yup... that is the one. I usually don't go to slickdeals and so far the only thing I DON'T like about it is I can't print from my macs to it...but then again it didn't say that it was Mac compatible

found this last night but I am not sure if its a local deal or not but its a new HP Color LaserJet CP1215. regular price is $299 but they have (2) $100 MIR that Office Depot is sponsoring. Toner is about $64 each for 2200 prints so it isn't GREAT but it isn't that bad either. I printed out some...

well the prototype went poof last night....resistors are there for a REASON!! oh well...would have liked to make it perfect the first time I knew it wouldn't happen ;) proof of concept is going to be a little different...going to try 50w Halogen 12v and see what that puts out...and if that is...
