...limewire Also it looks like you have a Windows update icon in the task bar (along with a ton of others...). Do you have it set to allow it to auto update or just to inform you there is an update?

I wonder what Monsters 2 would be about. They would have to tweak the world or situation to make it interesting for a new movie but it would be pretty funny still with Goodman and Crystal. The first one had a simple story but was very funny. I can't say I'm as excited to watch Monsters Inc...

I used to have two CRTs hooked up all the time (2 monitors powered by 1 video card w/2 outputs). There was a time when I even had 3 monitors when I was running Windows XP. I just added added a PCI video card. For a while the 3 monitors were the 2 CRTs and a 25" TV (S-Video output on ATI video...

FYI the two values 26,000,000 bytes and 24gb are the same... :) Look at one or the other. Don't confuse yourself or take time to learn 1024 vs 1000. System restore is a bit of wasted space if you don't need it.

Check for bulging or leaking capacitors?

You can right-click->properties->Compatibility on any shortcut and "disable desktop composition" (Aero) when that app gets run. But it sounds like the mess up is the alt-tabbing with the game rather than the GPU or Aero exactly. If you don't have one yet you could always install a front case...

Probably the convert time (DV -> Mpeg2) plus the 20min burn time (file-> disc).

Yeah, i was just wondering what he meant by digitizing. I know it will take a while as it plays back the tape at a fixed speed rather than a file transfer on a HDD. That's the limitation of a signal on a tape. Edit: cause if he is talking capture time then that's 3hrs+. If by digitizing he...

That's a pretty nice camera. I had researched the HD cameras in the $1000 area but I'm sure that has a lot more options and a lot better lens etc. Isn't DV already digital? Do you mean convert to DVD or something? (DV -> MPEG2-> DVD)

What GPU do you have? The X2 5600+ is similar to an E6400/E6600 Intel Core 2 Duo. The current numbering scheme for Intel and AMD is a little different so it would be hard to compare to a new CPU unless you find a benchmark (like Tom's or Anand's charts of all CPUs). Like Core 2 Duo E8200 is...

Do you ever have a lot of tabs open on your web browser (or windows). Or multi task a lot? or have stuff open while gaming? go for the 8gb ram. The more ram you have the less chance your pagefile gets used. Although a program that needs a pagefile just needs it to exist. With enough ram, paging...

Actually this PSU dropped it ~9w. After I installed the network driver my 26w idle went up to 30w under the temporary PSU. I'm done with hardware but not totally finished otherwise. Waiting for a bios update to see if any options get unlocked in my mobo for lower voltages. 139w (PC that was on...

idle w/102w brick PSU

Do you have a 2nd video port on your video card you can try or an alternative video cable? Or a 2nd pc or laptop w/video out (vga or dvi). (try all if you can)

Vertical bars going up the screen or would they be horizontal bars? It is probably a signal issue. The monitor could be going bad or it could be interference on the cable* or the gpu could be sending a weird signal (possibly related to drivers or refresh rate). *interference on a digital cable...

The ram is Kingston DDR3 that runs at 1.25v instead of 1.5 or higher like other sticks. The PC will be on basically 24/7. It is just for email, docs, web etc when sitting at the keyboard. But it will be a media server too. I have a 1TB drive I'll be adding with media on it. Movies, shows, pics...

Some pics of the case and heatsink etc. The case has one of the front intake spots directly inline with the rear (but I'm not using multiple fans). Idling @ 25-30c with 1 fan on low (w/case shut).

I have one very similar to this and love it. Has lasted a long time. Although if I got another I would probably get one a little larger or more comfortable (not that the ones I have are not!) like:

I installed the drivers and now it is idling @ 26w. Must have got a chip to lower it's voltage or something. Can't wait for that 102w brick to arrive. 26w is 6% of 430watts (my PSU) so efficiency at this usage is probably pretty poor and the amount of power my PC is needing is south of 26w by a...

I don't really get upset at people online. I disconnect, go find another server if it is the other peoples fault (hackers or whatever condition that you can't really play in). Hell, even if there is a hacker in a CS server I stay in and see how many times I can kill him. Usually I get...
