    Q9450 @ 3.2GHz with 1.275V too high voltage?

    My Q9400 will do 3.6Ghz on that voltage, so it may not be the cpu voltage holding you from stability but possibly the GTL, NB, or RAM settings. There's a lot to play with ;)

    Wake on Lan

    ^^ What he said, there are some free WOL utilities. But to find out what packet type your NIC supports, it will usually say in the driver properties. For the utilities though, you'll need your MAC address. a side-effect of using WOL is that it is sent out via Broadcast, so every machine...

    Wake on Lan

    what you could also do is setup the auto-turn on feature in bios if it exists. Most newer boards I've seen do support that.

    Wake on Lan

    yes, you can. However it depends on several things. 1st being to find out if your school will allow WOL packets through routers. Where I work, they're blocked. 2 - what type of Wake Up packet does your computer accept? If the schools routers block WOL packets, one way to get around...

    [Official] [H] 8G of ram thread

    I've got 8Gb also. LOVE it. I can finally leave my virtual machine up for work while running other things (movies or games or even multiple VM's) with no lag at all. I added some of my other ram to my HTPC so it has 6GB now.

    Weird Vista Ultimate x64 USB Issue

    I have a similar issue with my HTPC and the Soundgraph iMon VFD. It will lose itself after a while and come back after a restart. Annoying as it's also the IR receiver for my remote :p I've also disabled all power management but nothing seems to resolve. Even re-installed Vista to no avail.

    What game looks more worth my time dead space? or fallout 3?

    I played a bit of Dead Space at a friends the other day and the atmosphere was nice.. great sound and graphics. It reminded me of Doom3 though. I didn't get to play enough to see if it was as scripted as Doom3 was though (same monster jumps out of the same spot the same way every time kinda...

    HTPC mobo+ram

    you might get better input in the htpc forum. But here's a start that you won't need a discrete video card if you're not gaming. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131348&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_- Will handle your Q6600...

    Newegg has stopped showing shipping cost of items

    I never purchase more than 1 item from them anymore anyway. Especially Fans or small items like that. Paying more for shipping per fan than what the fan costs is rediculous in the first place. When I purchase more than 1 item, it's almost always from ZZF. They seem to calculate your...

    Is Mass Effect for the PC worth it???

    I enjoyed it. It was nice as it had a bit of a different storyline. Although, I have to admit that once I finished it, I was wanting more. Not sure if that's because maybe I felt there should have been more to the game...or perhaps the fact that I just enjoyed playing it. Gave it to my...

    asus hd4850 top or gigabyte hd4850, what is a boy to do?

    WHOA! That's seriously messed up. I just went to newegg to search the 4850 and in the search results they had the Asus TOP model listed at $164 + 30 rebate. When you click on it, the product page that comes up says $179 + 30 rebate. You might call them and see what the REAL price is. One...
