    Building: need ram help

    My box is dated, and I'm piecing together a new system. I plan on going with a new AMD64 X2, depending on prices I'll probably go with the 3800. I love Asus, so I want to stick with one of their boards, I would love SLI, but I'm going with a single card for now (money constrants) but would like...

    Grandma VS Rockstar Games

    Link: http://biz.gamedaily.com/features.asp?article_id=10177&filter= This is really getting out of hand. Clearly guns and felonies are OK, but a sex scene is bad? I haven't seen the clip, I don't even own the game, but people are really getting on my nerves over this. Why is it a game...

    Signatures stealing forum focus

    It not *really* a site problem, but it is a petpeeve. Everytime I click on a thread to load it, a few seconds later I'm ripped away from what I am reading by a slow loading signature banner. Then I have to rescroll back up to the thread I'm reading. There has been times I needed to rescroll up...

    Can't delete: File in use?

    I downloaded the bf2demo last night, and I had to use bittorrent. I didn't have BT installed so I grabbed the latest version (4.2?). Since the demo was the first thing I started downloading, the new BT version defaults to saving things on the desktop (pretty stupid idea IMHO), I didn't get a...

    Java or J#

    I took a java class years ago, and I stumbled on my old book today when I was cleaning out the basement. I started thumbing through it and though it would be fun to relearn some aspects of java. Since the course I have really enjoyed VB.Net and ASP.net. So I was thinking about forgoing the...

    Skinning Internet Explorer?

    I've been playing with Maxthon browser, its alright but there are a few quirks I don't care for. One of the things I did love was the skinning option, I found an iMac skin that was great. Anyway to hack into IE to change around the appearance? I'm getting tired of looking a the same icons.

    Did MS kill Giant?

    I was running Giant before MS bought them, and I loved it. I was going to buy a license, then I heard about their sale, so I waited. So I finally download the MS beta version of it, update it and do a scan. Surprisingly, it finds nothing. Now, I know, I get a lot of minor ads from certain...

    Dawn of war trojan?

    Quick question. Pestscan.com has been detecting sintfnt.dll and sintf32.dll as a trojan. None of my other scanners give it a second thought. I remove the files, they pop up in document and setting/<my user account>/local settings/temp, but as soon as I run Dawn of War (warhammer 40K)...

    DVD Burner buying tips?

    There was an old thread here, but I didn't want to bump an old thread, so I'll ask again if you all don't mind. I'm confused on the standards. The whole -/+ thing.... So let me start by telling what exactly I want to do. The main purpose of the drive would be backing up. I have a rillion...
