    Dropbox or Mozy

    We are using Dropbox for pretty much all the group projects I am working on for my classes. You can install the little app, or log in to the website to access it if you don't want the app. I was reluctant at first, but it is really really easy to use, literally drag and drop. The only caveat...

    ASUS Official Poll - When do you plan to upgrade and why?

    Finally upgrading my P4P800 P4 to a new I7 build, waiting for Amazon to get the Asus Rampage III Formula in stock and I will likely be pulling the trigger on it and a Video Card(which depends on the coming new releases and price drops).

    Asus Rampage III Formul

    I was actually looking at both boards as well. The biggest difference I have seen is the Big Bang has more (6 total x16 and 1 PCI-Express x1, but it is used up by the Sound card) PCI-E slots (but no PCI) whereas the Rampage Formula only has 3 PCI-E x16 but has 2 PCI-Express x1 (and 1 PCI). The...

    Asus Rampage III Formul

    Anyone seen a head to head of the Rampage III Formula vs the MSI Big Bang Xpower X58? Would like to see them directly compared (especially since they seem to be the two I am trying to choose between at this time).

    iPhone 4 Fans Face Abuse on Worldwide Release

    Can't say that I have ever seen someone chastised for buying a pre-built. Prebuilts are great for people like my parents who are clueless as to what all goes into a computer and just want something to email, browse the web and maybe do a few things in Office. Honestly it is worth them going...

    Which Is The Stupider Line To Be In?

    Sit in line for a device that has some good ideas/nice features but is locked down by "two evil empires" and is annoyingly fawned over by mindless masses. Or... sit in line for a movie with the potential for awesomeness in an epic battle between the "two evil empires" of the vampires and...

    Sarah Palin E-Mail Hacker Found Guilty of Coverup

    Actually I would compare it more to leaving a key under the welcome mat and then being surprised that someone found it and broke into your house. Do I really think Palin should be punished? no. Do I think the kid is an idiot for not only hacking it but then posting all the stuff he did and...

    Sarah Palin E-Mail Hacker Found Guilty of Coverup

    So why isn't Palin punished for being an idiot and making it that easy to gain access to her email? I don't think he should go unpunished but throwing him in jail seems a waste. Make him give speeches to government officials on the importance of choosing strong passwords or something. Calling...

    Lawmakers Eyeing National ID Card

    The government has enough trouble handling its functions currently, adding any additional changes is kind of like letting the guy who rarely shows up for class and pulls D's be in charge of your group project. Sad case in point. My brother went to file his taxes this year and it wouldn't let...

    Looking for reliably cheap or cheaply reliable.

    Greetings, I am trying to get some ideas on a cheap 1366 board to use in a system I am building After a lot of reading on this site, it seems to make more sense to grab something for now until Q4 when the X68 chipset comes out which will/should actually have the SATA 6Gbps/USB3.0 correctly...

    Which USA package company has the easiest/less hassle insurance claiming?

    I have worked at both. The running joke at UPS ( actually it was my first night there and the guy was one of the supervisors taking us to our new areas) was that there was so much paperwork/hoops to jump through, most people just gave up and wrote it off. Sort of like mail-in rebates I guess...

    Smartphone advice

    My contract is up with Verizon at the end of November and I plan is to switch to AT&T at that point. I had previously just used a basic cell phone(LG VX8300), but I am now looking at branching out to the Smartphone arena. The company I work for has an agreement with AT&T so using the corporate...

    Help me pick a LCD!

    Giving a price range would probably help. I am stuck on a similar decision and am trying to get the best I can for under 300. Supposedly the Dell 2007WFP is good. Also saw the Chimei 221d which is suposed to be great for the price as well. Not sure if you were looking for something bigger, or...

    Creating RAID IC7-G MaxII

    Not 100 pct, but on my board at least,the SATA is the Intel RAID. When i first tried to make a driver CD for installing windows i tried using the VIA drivers until i scoured the manual and found i had to find the program on the CD and used the exe to create a driver CD with the Intel drivers on it.

    xp-120 problem

    512mb thumbdrive, what would you put on for fixing comps?

    all of the above + prime 95 and memtest. I still have a bootable floppy with some system diagnostics program on it that tested the hard drive, motherboard, memory and other hardware (though it was from around the MMX era).

    Quick A+ Question

    pretty sure the first two are inaccurate. According to Intel's own site the P4 L1 cache is 16 KB on the 90nm and 8KB on the .13 micron P4 for the data cache, though it does have an extra 12K in instructions for the Execution Trace Cache. I am also pretty sure that Firewire is *up to 400...

    any of you playing on the Insomnia servers by chance? I know they are one of the ones i played on that didnt have any effect on my BFHQ stats, and in other threads with this problem, quite a few had been playing on the Insomnia 360 servers. Wondering if there is a problem with their stats...

    Battlefield 2 ranked servers?

    Gamespy Arcade is not required, I didnt install and can play fine. The day of release I got to play early in the day, before the servers became as packed as they did that afternoon and evening, and the stats seemed to upload quickly, but then things were more stable then. As for going up...

    108Mbps wireless router/cards running at 54Mbps

    Just to clarify, 802.11g has a max data rate of 54Mbps, thus SuperG uses another channel for the combined 108Mbps. Seeing as how it runs on the 2.4Ghz frequency band, other devices and networks running on this band (like some 2.4Ghz phones) could interfere.

    Can't get SATA RAID working...

    Not sure on your SE, but I have the P4P800 Deluxe, and if you read the instructions it tells you you have to take the motherboard CD, and make a driver disk from it with the SATA RAID drivers. Mine were ICH5R drivers if i remember right, not the VIA, so make sure you dont try copying the VIA...

    20 pins?? 24??!?!

    If there is no 24->20 adapter, then plugging the 24 PSU to the 20 pin MB should result in 4 pins (2 columns) hanging off. I had this same problem with a HEC i picked up to use in a second system, and when i shifted the power connector so that the opposite side from what was currently plugged...
