We all loved Eugene. He was the reason this site exists.... ROFL....

The 940 is plenty fast for anything I do. It also eats twice the energy of the current processors, and according to passmark, is half the speed of a 4770k. I'm not an overclocking type. What is a bit of a bother is the new cpus, starting with the i7, five years ago, and coupled with a decent...

Thx. With the way stuff is packaged, and my consumer/whatever consumption of computers, and parts packaged it seems to prevent ESD, i.e. plastic cases on memory etc., I've never thought ESD was really much to worry about, and thought the computer companies who design components had designed...

How is Samsung relevant to XP support? I run Samsung products on XP. Is considering they are the ONLY monitors offered by Costco, that is relevant, don't you think????

Reason I haven't posted here much. You all are in a different league from my skills with computers. Irony is some folks think I actually know something about computers, and won't pay me for other services, unless I come over and try to solve their computer problems.

Thanks. Great information. I'm probably responsible for the damage to my own computers....

Do Dell, HP, and the other consumer computer makers follow such anti-static environment assembly techniques? Any statistics to back this up, or tests, etc.?

I don't think DD is really in the "amateur anti-static procedures" category as a machine builder. Originally it was DD's machine... I do realize that was a dig at me, and thanks for that, but, you missed. More likely, I have a motherboard that simply went south. Out of two athlon- gigabyte...

Yes, I get DOS.... Merc used to argue for consumer stuff to be replaced by enterprise. My experience is with enterprise hardware, this system would have run, and been effective for at least 10 years, if not more, for my uses. But, the gigabyte MOBO was designed to die in 5 years. Merc: your...

This system was protected by both a UPS and a APC voltage reg. Kind of concerned about what made it go south....

PS: Work one looks a bit anemic. Hasn't Splash required you to do photos from space labs?;-) gs PS what happened to splash?

I really like double the speed, and half the voltage of the 4770 and 4770K....;-) DD,. you ARE the best. gs

Any deals on UPS's would be great. Both the APC and .... went south, at 8 years and 10 years....

Work2: i7-4770, 32GB RAM, 840 Pro 512GB, 3x 3TB, 2x Titan, GA-G1.SNIPER 5, H100i, AX1200i Hint, Hint, Hint. Does this run gmail and 7 or 8 ok? Web? Plus you didn't say what OS? Seriously: If I was to pick a cpu right now it, would be this one, or the 4770K. Let me know what's blown up...

It's not that the phone is too big to sit down with. It's that if you need to get it out, it's difficult to get out of your pocket.

I went with the Samsung Mega. Huge battery, and most of the time lasts the day, or close. Use it constantly for driving information, music player, and phone, with a headset. Have to try your mounting setup. Great to be able to pull up the websites, and assignments for work, not to mention my...

Samsung.

Even with SSD's in both machines, and respectable old cpus, file transfers are so slow it's painful. If the old business requires moving fairly good sized files, it would be a real incentive to move up to 7 or 8..

Sounds like my house... The Beast, which DD is working on, is down. I've had to move to move the HTPC in, and I'm now doing my business stuff on it. I kept the HTPC on XP3 because of a lack of drivers in 7 for the sound card and printer. I do understand why people keep XP around. Some of the...

You are right. My mistake.

Second Wolverine movie was ok...

Wasn't L in the second book?

The first and last Dell I bought had a motherboard that would support only one ide drive per channel, when the standard was two per channel. Took 6 months to finally figure it out, and only because of repeated calls to Dell, and finally finding a guy that knew what he was doing. Likewise...

Would anyone be able to quantify the difference in file transfer between 7 and 8? I think Tannin has an excellent point, in that Windows 8 means I will NOT be buying any computer with it installed. While I get the wanting to have a computer like a phone, shouldn't it be the phone more like the...

Thanks GS

One of the considerations I've had is getting a laptop with a faster processor, and to be able to take advantage of the faster SATA bus. However, with the even a IDE Kingspec SSD, the hard drive performance is fast enough so I don't think it's the bottle neck: Ethernet speed transfers are in...

I agree. The drives are slow by current standards: I think to really be able to tell any difference I would have to increase data transfer by something incredible, like this: Be honest I can't really tell the difference between one old Vertex Turbo 3 and the X-25M's in Raid O. How much...

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth buying into MSFT's integration of 8, on phone, laptop, and my home machine. I have a very hard time believing I'd be able to notice the difference between 7 and 8 on the i7 940, home machine. I don't think it would be compatible with the hardware in my...

Has anyone worked with the Cloud features of windows 8, on multiple platforms? From my reading, that might be the only reason to use it.

He's a beauty. We have them all over around here. They soar, and pick off whatever is in the long, dry grass. Never had one on the porch railing, however. Had foxes, skunks, deer, and a mountain lion, but that's all. I forgot: we have a BUNCH of turkeys and geese that live on the golf course...

redtail Hawk?

Oddly, one of our forum members believes the ide option to be more stable then AHCI. Considering I have dual X-25s in raid zero, and it's been going a long time, he seems to be right. Not slow, either.

I keep looking for something with a modern processor, bus, ram, and ethernet connection, read cable. I think I bought the CF-51 in about 2000, picked up another one 4 years ago with a dual core processor, gigabyte ethernet, a big deal for what I use it for, higher resolution screen, and not much...

27 this morning, again. It's getting old. 3-4 layers of clothes to do laundry????

Stripper?;-)

29 again at 8 am . How hum. It's getting common and loosing it's novelty.

28 @ 8am. Offshore. Surfing anyone?

Bloody Hell! It's 30 degrees at 9:53 PM! Wind is from the NorthEast. It's already freezing, so it's going to go REALLY low tonight.

Thank you. We'll see how this goes. I tend to like MKV so far, and ANYDVD HD.

ClownBD? Haven't been able to find a copy, or a location. Comments seem to be that it's perfect for getting just the movie and menus, and, it was designed for external players. Not exactly what I had in mind, but might work.

Anyone used C3 or C6? Do they work with 7's current updates?

Thanks. Downloading MakeMKV right now. Has anyone tried PowerIso, or IsoBuster? MakeMKV works better then AnyDVD?

SD: I was really wondering what others are using, and how they are doing it. To answer your questions: So you plan to burn them to BD-R and watch them on a stand alone player? Or watch discs from a HTPC? My neighbor does the above. Since my girlfriend is taking care of a terminal cancer...

This morning riding a bike, at least in our area, puts you in the 6 degree wind chill area. Since yours was a tropical 33 degrees, it was only about 15 degrees on a bike. I did think about you this morning when I saw a frosted golf course out the front window.
