Holy ****, I wasn't the only one to think that? hi5!

1) Glorified marketer. Calls himself "influencial". Heads some blogging site. 2) Anyone who cares to talk about stuff and stuff that happens during that stuff. On a serious note, he did drop the F-bomb, just not in the front page video, but instead at the beginning of the interview. And in my...

That's not the full video. It leaves out the key part to it. He starts off the interview with "Well, how the fuck are you?" in a public discussion forum. The full is here: http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/24/carol-bartz-swearing-video/

I was actually looking at the Audio Technica ATH-A700 (Not AD700)... It seems like those have a bit better specs for about 30 more dollars. Actually looking to buy these right now from someone who ships to Canada. And I have the same sound card questions as you do!

One word. OTA. This study is fluff. It's literally impossible to calculate the number of people receiving HD programming when things such as OTA exist. It would like trying to calculate the number of people that tune into a radio station. Don't assume that cable or satellite is the only way to...

For me, the eye candy has never been my thing, so I hope the gameplay was given enough time for it to be something where many have failed with the current DX9 eye candy. Then again, I still play a MUD, so what do I know.

Duh, missed it. As for the OP, could you include what other software you are running in the background, like antivirus/firewalls/etc... Try to include everything involved here, as Chernobyl1 mentioned, its hard to go on by these generic errors which could be caused by a bunch of things. Also...

Tried doing a few passes with Memtest86 yet? http://www.memtest86.com/ If so, what were the results?

Ah, yes, the dreaded USB Legacy support. Read a bunch about that issue before, but completely forgot about mentioning it. For myself, when I tested, I had everything that wasn't neccessery for complete barebones disabled. And the problem with my board turned out to be the bad caps, which I...

Sounds very much like the problem I had with a DFI CA64-TC(s370) board, Coppermine 933(133x7) cpu, and a stick PC133 256MB ram. At first, when the setup failed memtest with a crash on test 6, I thought it was ram. So I got another stick that I knew worked for sure, and again, fails right on the...

You need to be a little more specific to what your "better" means to _you_. As one person has already mentioned, at full speeds, the Zalman should be better by a few degrees at most. For people to give a _better_ answer, you should at least rank your needs of value, noise and performance.

Just wondering, what kind of temperatures were you getting on the stock cooler? If you tried it in the first place that is.

I don't think it matters when everyone judges by your end result. In fact, I think its a great feat to have out done your competition with less, is it not? Maybe I am seeing that wrong. I also think this thread has gone way off topic, and I just contributed to the massive pile of...

For what socket? I don't really understand the way you are building your system. Do you have a total that you are can spend? How did you end up with that 100-150 dollar figure? Relatively speaking, gaming performance is usually limited by the GPU and music editing performance is CPU(and...

From my experiences with EVE, its very sensitive to driver issues. You should start a petition detailing your problem because CCP is much more likely to know what crashes their software. It can be anything from a crappy audio driver to AMD's Cool'n'Quiet feature. And in fact, it's most likely...
