    New Breed of ATM Hack Emerges

    Better to come out of the ATMs account than individual account holders. Perhaps now that its coming directly from the banks pocket they will do more to step up the security?

    RamDisk

    Hey all , I use DataRam Ramdisk, they have a free version that lets you use up to 4 gigs of ram and you can purchase a license to remove the limit, I think it was $15. I have 24gigs of memory and can set it up to 23968 MB. After you set the size of the disk you can go into "Disk Management"...

    tyan s7010

    I set mine to 2GB initial and maximum, it's just wasting HD space set any higher, unless you think you're going to use up all that Ram, is it for server or workstation use?

    Asus Rampage Gene III (Unable to see 24GB of Ram)

    Hey, could be a couple things, Windows 7 Home Premium has an artificial max memory limit of 16GB. Does it show 24 in the BIOS? Also the memory in your link is 1.5v, I know it says that it is x58 compatible but you should really use 1.65v memory on x58, especially with all slots populated. My...

    Need help overclocking i7 920

    4.2Ghz is at the higher end of 920 overclocks imo and some chips just won't be stable at that frequency. Are you 100% stable at 20x multiplier? If you are stable at 20x200 but not 21x200 that would narrow it down to the processor. Could bump the Vcore to 1.35v and try stress testing. If it still...

    Been troubleshooting for days, can't figure it out =/

    Yes, when I first got my SSD i went a little benchmark crazy on it, ran CDM on default, tweaked a few settings, ran it again, tweaked some more, benched some more. I noticed my 1st scores were the best and couldn't match them in any subsequent benches. From my understanding CrystalDiskMark on...

    Been troubleshooting for days, can't figure it out =/

    I have an SSD also and it takes a bit before my system posts, but once it does i'm at my desktop before the windows animation finishes. I would Not recommend benching your SSD with CrystalDiskMark as it writes a ton of incompressible data to the drive and will noticeably slow down the drive each...

    Origin found my BFBC2 instal on a seperate drive?

    I had to install Origin if I wanted to play BF3, I guess I had the same reaction when I had to instal Steam when I bought HL2 years ago. I just don't like the direction things are going and soon I'll have 100's of applications doing all kinds of stuff I don't want just to play the games I enjoy...

    Origin found my BFBC2 instal on a seperate drive?

    It just bothers me that it scanned my computer and linked it when i didn't want it to. I just like to have the choice.

    Origin found my BFBC2 instal on a seperate drive?

    Opened up Origin this evening and noticed BFBC2 was listed in my Origin games list, wtf? I have a hardcopy of this game and isn't on steam or registered with EA. And it's not even installed on the same Drive as Origin, Origin is on my C: and BFBC2 is on my D:, I haven't even played Bad Company...

    Limit to BIOS flashes?

    Hey all, I have an MSI 6950 that I flashed to 1536 shaders. A couple days ago I flashed it back to its original 1408 Bios. ( I know I could have just flipped the switch to the 2nd bios position but it has a different fan profile, hot and quiet.) The reason I flashed it back was because while...

    Keyboard with best key illumination

    Razer Black Widow is pretty good imo, each key has its own led and it has 3 brightness levels. Reasonably priced/good quallity mechanical keyboard. And yeah, I wore the paint off my last Saitec keyboards' keys in no time, and the back light bled thru around the keys terribly.

    How much memory do most have?

    24gigs of triple channel goodness on my X58M :) I had to upgrade my Windows from Home Premium to Pro to get the OS to see more than 16gigs, And yes i've had almost every drop of it utilized ,with a 20gig RamDisk running. It's kinda nice installing games to Ram, then saving the image...

    Overclocking Memory?

    I don't think its wasteful, Imho I would go for at least 1600Mhz mem if you plan to OC your 920, That would let you get the cpu up to 4Ghz without pushing the memory out of spec, and memory is pretty cheap atm. Plus if you run 1600Mhz rated memory at 1066 you would be able to tighten up the...
