    Seagate Evaluation Units

    Just wanted to let you guys know that even though the Seagate website said they were OOS on the Eval hard drives, mine shipped the day after my order. That 7200.1 really made a nice noticeable difference on my P3 500/512MB WinXP Pro laptop when upgrading from the 4200RPM 40GB Toshiba I had in...

    Changing the windows product key on an existing installation

    What I meant was, can you do it just the upgrade with a legit upgrade CD/key on top of a pirated/corporate install? It's a lot cheaper to buy an upgrade CD rather than the full version.. Thanks, C

    Changing the windows product key on an existing installation

    Can you do that if you only have a legit WinXP upgrade CD & key or do you need to have the the legit full version with corresponding legit key?

    Obviously. WinRAR offers the ability to add a password. I was wondering how secure that is.

    Athlon 64 & 4x RAM

    Good info, Liam. Thanks. I thought the difference would not be noticeable (hench my choice of the word measurable) but I didn't know it is only about 1-2%. Maybe I'll bump up to 4GB after all. These QMD work units have given me something to blow my newegg GC on I guess... C

    Weird problem with current OS

    Those Swiftech sinks usually have strong bolt down attachments with tensioning springs so you're probably good with respect to HSF seating unless there is physical damage to the M/B.

    Athlon 64 & 4x RAM

    Several months ago, I read somewhere that using 4 sticks with A64 causes them to drop to 2T timing rather than 1T. Something to do with a limitation of the A64 on-die memory controller. Not sure if that is still a problem but that's the reason I'm using 2 1GB sticks now. Reports in various...

    Weird problem with current OS

    Do you have any reason to believe this is happening? Did you remove the HS/F for some reason. I don't think a power outage can cause anything to become loose. :wink:

    Weird problem with current OS

    Sounds like to me that either your ram or your motherboard is now a little flaky from power surges. Just a guess, however.

    I'm really excited about some of our upcoming products. '06 Impala is nice. I really like the interior and the available 300HP DoD (Displacement on Demand) V8 will make it a sleeper. Here's a cool bit of info on the Z06. Sky and Solstice will be very popular although production won't be...

    'deep- The primary reason for that is that the bumper is mounted to the frame (not the body). The bumper reacts better in a crash when mounted to the frame and results in less damage to the front end sheetmetal (FESM). When the bumper is mounted to the FESM, there's obviously much more damage...

    Have you guys ever run into a defective DVI-D cable? I bought a new one (15 feet) for my flat panel and the image on the screen is all distorted when I use it.. The brand is QVS and it's labeled as a DVI-D Digital Dual Link cable. It looks very similar to the cable that came with my monitor...

    Need Toshiba DVD-ROM Bezel

    I'd like to get a new bezel for my Toshiba SD-M1402 DVD ROM drive. Any ideas where I'd get one? I'm looking for black. I'd just paint my current bezel but I have about 3 coats on it already from the previous colors I've painted it. So I'd like to get a new bezel if I can... Thanks, C

    Looks like this might be my new case...

    Almost everything in there generates heat so I guess it depends on what devices get your cooling priority. PSU in the bottom is OK since it has a fan that blows the heat it generates outside the case. BUT, I can see what you're saying. With properly deisgned airflow in there, the heat rises...

    HL2 Level Load Time

    Sometimes it takes levels about 15-20 seconds to load. Is that normal for this game? Not sure if it makes a difference but I'm running relatively high res (1680x1050) with all the good stuff turned on. Thanks, C
