I am trying to upgrade the ram in my mother's OptiPlex 755 but cannot get Windows (Vista Business) to boot after adding the extra ram. It originally had 2x1GB DDR2 and I added an additional 2x1GB. All 4 sticks show up in bios and seem to be working properly. When I try to boot into Windows I get...
I finally got my Modi 2 Uber hooked up and I am quite pleased. I definitely agree that it is very "clinical" sounding, especially paired with my HD600s. I can notice every flaw in my lower resolution or lesser music files even more so than my previous setup. Now I need to find the time to re-rip...
This "smart gun" is a solution to a problem that doesn't or shouldn't exist. (If you are a responsible gun owner) Your firearm should be either under your immediate control or secured. These "features" add unnecessary points of failure to a possibly life-saving tool. If you are a responsible gun...
Thanks for the suggestions. After looking at some of the reviews I went ahead and ordered a Modi 2 Uber. If I don't like it I will just use the 15 day return window and try the ODAC.
As the title says, I need to get a DAC. I recently upgraded my main rig and my old sound card/DAC (ESI Juli@) is no longer compatible. The rest of my gear includes a set of Sennheiser HD-600s powered by a custom PPA amp with an external STEPS power supply. The PPA and STEPS were built by former...
Personally, I would put my money towards a NAS if you don't already have one. 2TB of portable data is a lot to back up on a regular basis. If you were to get that much storage in a new MBP you would have to go to the 15" as the 13" is only configurable to 1TB. And with the introduction of the...
A little background: I am a solo attorney that shares office space and secretaries with another attorney. Friday morning the secretaries told me that they could not access anything on their shared file folder. When I looked at it all of the client files were encrypted and there was an image and...
I am still waiting on HBM3 and 5nm processors. My Athlon64 3500 and Radeon 9700 Pro are still good enough. I only use that as my excuse for not having upgrade funds.
I have been trying to remove FAH from my MBP to no avail. It is set to start on start up and I cannot find a way to disable it. I have deleted all of the files that the Stanford FAQ suggests to no avail.
For sale is one 3Dfx Voodoo 5 5500 PCI graphics card with box and original manual. Tested and is working. Asking $200 shipped. Prefer USPS money order but will accept non CC paypal. Not looking for trades at this time.

As the title says after updating my iMac at my office and my MacBook Pro at home Back to My Mac (screen sharing) no longer functions. All of the settings are identical to the pre-upgrade state and both computers are still signed into iCloud with the same account. The other computer does not show...
I have one. I will try to dig it out when I get home. I don't have the original box, just the card in an anti-static bag.
Edit: I do have the box. PM me or email me an offer if you are interested. I will test it at work tomorrow.
I have been crushed at work this week so I haven't been able to play. I have added everyone in the club to my friends list (you don't need to add me back if you don't want; I just like having the number greater than zero!) Hopefully I can put some more time into the game later in the week as...
Hey, just wanted to say hello since I joined the club. I stopped posting regularly several years ago but have been lurking ever since. If anyone wants to send me a friend request my GT is the same as my username.
I have been away from the forum for several years and just installed BOINC. I only have a 2.3Ghz I7 in my Macbook Pro. Nonetheless, all of my points are going to hard ocp.
I will have to go against the grain. I use AVG and haven't had any problems. I do concede that it is getting more and more bloated. I was using MSE until I got a virus and had to reformat. Be very careful on what sites you click on while searching for erotic bakeries.
I have a 2011 MBP and that same adapter from Meritline and the audio definitely works for me. Did you also change the audio output settings? The audio does not switch to Displayport on its own.
I had the same problem. It was quite aggravating seeing it use discrete graphics to load a blank page. I downgraded back to FF 3.6 and will wait for a FF4 fix.
I just got the MBP in my sig with the 500GB 7200RPM drive at the beginning of the month. I don't need the extra space but I wanted to give the extra speed a shot. As stated earlier GFXCardStatus is an absolute must. Some surprising things will trigger discrete graphics.
Oh, and this thing...
I just tried it and immediately downgraded back. It breaks automatic graphics switching on my MacBook Pro. As soon as I open it up it goes to discrete graphics even while displaying a blank page. Turning off hardware acceleration had no effect. I wasn't crazy about the new layout either.
Thanks for the info Tobit. I will probably keep it folding part time since I am not too comfortable having my new laptop at 85-88C all of the time. I stopped focusing on folding about 2006 when I went to law school. Hopefully I will be able to have some information to add to the Ivy Bridge...
If anyone cares about mobile SNB folding, here is what my 2.2GHz (3GHz Turbo Boost) MBP is putting out
I have been out of folding for quite some time so I am not sure if these are decent numbers or not.
