    best ~100GB ssd for around $150?

    actually one of those points is a problem for me, since my motherboard (Gigabyte G31M) does not support AHCI. So no TRIM for me :(

    Mini USB Female to USB Female. Does it exist? (any other way to accomplish this?)

    Mini USB Female to USB Female. Does it exist? (any other way to accomplish this?)

    This is what's going on: I have a Samsung cell phone that has a proprietary input. I have a cable that converts from this proprietary input to USB Male (so far so good). I also have a portable battery that has a Mini-USB Male plug. I use it to charge my mp3 player, and would like to be able to...

    what's wrong with my PC? Why do virtual machines run so slowly?

    I think the short answer to my question is because my computer sucks, but the virtual machine I use at school is installed on a computer inferior to mine and yet it works a lot faster than the virtual machine on my home computer. The setup at school is a core 2 duo 2.0 ghz or so, 3 GB of RAM or...

    fastest PC I can assemble for no more than $400?

    like 600watts. i don't have the specs in front of me so please assume that the PSU won't be a problem. The US. ideally before the new year or shortly after. USB 3.0 would be nice, but it's not necessary. SATA 6 GB/s would be nice, too. I'll even say that if it has an IDE port even better...

    Asus (ATI Radeon HD) Rebate Application - they are already trying to rip me off

    probably from simple observation. if I let you hang on to my money for say 2 months, and I don't charge you any interest, then I'm effectively lending you money with zero percent interest rate. or look at it this way: if I had put the money in my back account, I would have earned interest on...

    Asus (ATI Radeon HD) Rebate Application - they are already trying to rip me off

    Haste, did you pay an extra amount of money (usually $2 if I am not mistaken) to have the processing of your claim expedited?

    artifacts appear on my screen and don't go away. what's wrong with this video card?

    this is one of the cheapest radeon cards that can be purchased and i noticed a problem that i didn't have with onboard video: sometimes when I open a window or a 'tooltip' appear on the screen, and I move the window, part of those images remain 'burned' on the screen and don't go away until I...
