    158.43 beta driver (8 series, Vista 32 and 64)

    158.42 beta driver (8800 series, Vista 32 and 64)

    Try this for the 158.42 beta driver for Vista 64 (rather than going through the NVIDIA download process and being directed to the 158.24 driver): http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/158.42/158.42_forceware_winvista_64bit_english.exe I'm sure they'll correct the issue with their download...

    158.42 beta driver (8800 series, Vista 32 and 64)

    This is probably a temporary issue, but I noticed that the download process for the 64-bit beta driver actually presents a file that is labeled as the earlier 158.24 driver (maybe a simple typo, but maybe they accidentally linked to the old driver). The 32-bit beta driver download process...

    New NVIDIA driver at Windows Update (for Vista 64 + 8800GTX at least)

    I see that Microsoft has posted the April 2007 update to DirectX. I know that, in the past, these updates have helped with certain games. The update is for Vista as well as XP (even though Vista is not listed on some pages). This is the primary link, but I had trouble with the...

    Apparatus for water cooling four (or two) OCZ Flex XLC DIMMs

    To accompany the nice ASCII art, here's a side view of one half of the apparatus (done to scale in Visio): (Those gray / dark gray arcs represent the minimum bend radius of the PVC tubing. Each dark gray line represents a 10 degree angle increment. I've found these arcs to be quite...

    Apparatus for water cooling four (or two) OCZ Flex XLC DIMMs

    The Koolance part contains aluminum. I'm avoiding aluminum because of the galvanic corrosion issue (so I don't have to use antifreeze in my loops). Interestingly, most of the RAM waterblocks out there use aluminum. In fact, the OCZ Flex XLC was really the only option for me. Even then, I...

    Apparatus for water cooling four (or two) OCZ Flex XLC DIMMs

    Below is an apparatus that I came up with for cooling four OCZ Flex XLC DIMMs in parallel. This apparatus uses two manifolds (one to separate the loop's flow into four parallel streams, and the second manifold to bring the streams back together), and the apparatus can be placed in serial to...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    FP241W: One USB port in the top, in the center, but not flush with the top of the monitor. The top of the port is about 1/4" below the top of the monitor. Two USB ports on the left side of the monitor, much closer to the bottom than the top. Recessed about 3/8" in from the side of the...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    "Dentist chair NOT included" :D The TigerDirect one looks pretty good - nice find. The one at Staples has a less-than-optimal weight limit. The Staples one might work ... or the weight of the monitor might slowly pull the arm down toward the desk. - David
