    Data recovery of (partially?) failed hdd?

    Ok so I have an old 300gb hdd (Seagate) that crashed yesterday and I’m hoping there’s a way to recover some files without paying big $$$. I’ll try to explain what happened and hopefully someone can chime in if there’s a way to fix this. It crashed while I was in Win7 64 bit. I restarted and...

    Windows 7 using 950mb of memory at start up!

    You can get Win 7 down to about 500mb, but you’ll have to be willing to do a lot of tweaking. You’ll need to disable all of the special graphics options, and disable a ton of services. Obviously this involves some trial and error, and it’s very possible to bork your system. So try at your own...

    Dragon Age Origins discussion...

    I can't check right now but there should be a way to set all your people to "Passive" mode while still enabling tactics. It's a drop down list at the top right of the tactics screen. Once you set them to passive, make sure all their offensive abilities assist the controlled character. That...

    Dragon Age Origins discussion...

    Also, here’s a really cool custom tactic I found last night. 1. If enemy status = stunned, go to Tactic 3 2. Enemy (target of controlled party member) use <stun ability> 3. Enemy (target of controlled party member) use Attack. This helped a TON. Because for the longest time my guys would...

    Dragon Age Origins discussion...

    Holy Cow, my rogue is doing crazy damage. Alastair can’t pull agro, even with the threat buff… She’s assassin/dual wield specced. I almost have enough to buy that $140k dagger from the dwarf city. What’s cool about dual wield is that if one weapon gives a +damage bonus, then it affects both...

    Clean Install Windows 7 with Upgrade Media

    So at no point does the Win 7 Upgrade install ask for the key of your previous OS? Then I'll be able to keep my full version of XP Pro after I install Win 7 correct? I was previously told that it would consume my old key and invalidate that copy of XP forever...

    Dual Boot Win 7 32bit & 64bit with One Key?

    Alright, so I'm going to upgrade from XP Pro to Win 7 Premium. From what I understand you can do a clean install and choose 32 bit or 64 bit. My question is, are you allowed to dual boot both 32 and 64 bit versions at the same time? If you're not allowed to, can I uninstall 64 bit then...

    Windows 7 Getting a Better Version of Netflix than Vista

    When I started using Win 7 RC, Netflix forced me to "upgrade" to Silverlight for instant viewing. Now I get nasty tearing in the video, and can't even change the bitrate. I hope they fix both these issues for the official Windows 7 release.

    Champions Online, yay or nay?

    They had to rush this out the door to beat the Aion launch. While it’s a premature launch, for sure, it would have been suicide to do otherwise. The overall quality of the game is fairly decent. There are very few bugs for a game that just launched. I haven’t crashed once. No falling through...

    Upgrade XP 32bit to Win7 64 bit?

    Ok thanks, that makes sense.

    Upgrade XP 32bit to Win7 64 bit?

    Ok, so I’m pretty sure I read you can’t upgrade from XP 32 bit to Win7 64 bit. Your existing copy of XP has to already be 64 bit. However, I also read a while ago that you can transfer xp 32 bit to xp 64 bit by paying $10 and Microsoft will send you a 64 bit DVD. I’ve been searching the...

    Video Game Industry Sales Down 17% - Again

    April 2008 we had GTA4 on PS3 & 360. And on the Wii we had Mario Kart (with SSB:B just a month earlier). April 2009 we had uh....

    DELL 3008WFP input lag test

    I've been meaning to ask this for a while. The thing that kind of bugs me about these tests is that it's always done with a static background. I mean everything except the number stays the same so there's not a whole lot for the monitor to process. I was wondering if you could run a movie or...

    Will an HD VGA transcoder make Wii look better on my monitor?

    No it doesn’t. What I meant to say was that if you’re just using a Wii on your monitor then buy the Vdigi cable to save $20. However X2VGA has 2 component inputs so if you want to use a ps3 or 360 at the same time then you may want to go that direction. I also did a bit of searching and found...

    Will an HD VGA transcoder make Wii look better on my monitor?

    X2VGA doesn't upscale the image, it just converts Component to VGA. So if you only want to use it for the Wii, then you should just buy the Vdigi VGA Cable for $40. Also you should check if your monitor supports aspect ratio, because other wise it will stretch the image from 16:9 to 16:10. I...
