    Next Firefox Update to Auto-Update Flash Player

    beyond flash, the other stuff they're planning on updating (fta: Apple's QuickTime; Adobe's Flash, Shockwave and Reader; Microsoft's Silverlight; and Sun's Java.); this is pretty big, although the people I know personally that this would help tend to ignore update alerts anyways..

    Apple Store Is Efficient And User Friendly For Thieves

    Sorry, the way whoever was narrating made it seem to me like the security guard had no idea, apparently I didn't hear the "savvy enough" part first time through. I still think it'd suck to be the security guard in the situation afterwards.

    Apple Store Is Efficient And User Friendly For Thieves

    Wow, this is ridiculous, though I guess it wouldn't be totally uncommon looking at how their stores just have their products sitting on tables like that; I'd hate to be the security guard, knowing that you barely missed an entire group of thieves cleaning the tables down.

    Prime95, weird results

    Overclocked a QX6800 on a new Biostar (TPower 145) motherboard from 2.93GHz to 3.51GHz (270 x 13); LinX does a 50-run test with no error, temps on the first two cores just barely hit 72C. I decided to run Prime95 overnight last night just as a final test to see whether or not it really is...

    Question about BIOS beep codes

    ...This thread can be locked now. It was the graphics card; it wasn't faulty, I was just using the wrong cable from the psu. Dumb mistake, but I'm (extremely) happy now.

    Question about BIOS beep codes

    It wasn't a 1-3-4, apparently; ASUS says 1 long and 3 short are a video device error. I put in my graphics card and it doesn't beep anymore, just doesn't start up and show anything. There's another problem then. I've got my graphics card (HD4890) hooked up to a monitor through DVI-D, it's...

    Question about BIOS beep codes

    New to building computers. Put a Striker Extreme-based system into a new case. Getting what sounds like a 1-3-4 beep code, which is supposedly "First 64K RAM odd/even logic". What does this actually mean? I read that it's a fatal error, other sites saying 'bad motherboard', but what is it...

    I have the best mobo ever made! EVGA 680i SLI

    huh I've been running a Striker Extreme for two years now, no stability issues or anything at all...? Quad core, SLI with two 8800s, and a pci sound card.

    L4D Crashes v.182.06

    I run an 8800 Ultra, and I get something like this-- my screen flickers and then freezes for a second or two, eventually it gets to the point where the image completely locks and my display goes to sleep, and it doesn't do anything. I end up having to hard reset my system. This happened first in...

    Remaining Core 2 life?

    This thread has sort of traveled away from my original question; thanks to those who answered it, but the build I've got for him now is probably as good as it's going to get. Those Phenom X3's are moderately cheap, but what's costly are the motherboards, at least, apparently; for the E5200...

    Remaining Core 2 life?

    Thanks a lot for the replies; the current specs for the build can be seen at http://www.joeweasel.com/comp2009. The plan with the Pentium Dual-core was to overclock it a good amount, at least to match a higher dual-core model, with it technically being a Core 2 Duo. (By the way, is the Zalman...

    Remaining Core 2 life?

    I've been trying to help a friend of mine with getting a new computer; he's a gamer (mostly Source engine-based games, like Left 4 Dead or Half-Life 2), and he's been stuck with a five year-old eMachines system for... five years. He's saving up for a new computer, although it's going to take...

    Antec 1200 stock fan quality?

    Planning on purchasing the Antec 1200 for a new computer, and my main concerns are that the blue LEDs are going to annoy me more than they're going to impress me, and that maybe the fans included aren't particularly good. My question is: are the 1200's case fans worth replacing?
