    Sony: Do Not Return Insect Infested PS4s

    LOL Ive worked for iBuyPower in the past and have seen some nasty insect infected PCs returned for repair. Some with dead cockroaches some filled with roach eggs, some with ants and spiders. People wonder why their PCs pop and stop working, when they have dead roaches crawling around on...

    Is OCZ On Its Last Legs?

    OCZ has been rock solid with almost every product they sell, in my experience as a PC builder and working for a gaming PC manufacturer. Although their marketing has dropped to nil the last couple years. I have seen much more ad placement for Corsair, Kingston, and Samsung than OCZ.

    Best way to get reliable WiFi signal in a basement?

    Honestly, running a cat5 (RJ-45) wire and connecting a second wireless ap downstairs would be cheapest. If you don't want to go that route, the only other way would be to pickup an powerline networking adapter package and send it over the power line and then connect the second router or ap...

    Apple Refunds Eight Year-Old’s $6K iPad Bill

    Although i doubt apple will take the hit for the refund. Ill bet they will pass it on to the developer. This is just another spin to make them seem benevolent.

    Apple Refunds Eight Year-Old’s $6K iPad Bill

    Honestly even if the child alone setup the device and it was linked to his cellular account that dad is morally responsible to pay that bill. Its the same to me as if the father gave his teenage child a car, and the teen crashed the car. The parent is indirectly responsible for the acts of...

    Apple Backtracks on EPEAT

    What did I do wrong with my memory?

    Some MBs are quite picky on RAM brands. Try Kingston, it works in nearly all MBs without a hitch. Also it seems obvious, but make sure you have all Ram firmly locked in their slots. One chip not locked in, even slightly, could cause an OS loading error/reboot. Oh also reply with the parts...

    1 big SSD vs 2x smaller SSD

    Honestly I have had slightly less issues with working with 1 SSD compared to 2 SSDs. Keep in mind with a raid 0, if either SSD fails you will lose all your data. So if you want to go this route make sure you get a really well quality SSD. Just my 2 cents :)

    Is it normal for the ESET service to use so much ram?

    Its either a memory leak, maybe a failed patch. You could try uninstall and delete folder and reinstall. Or its just scanning. I find with most AV programs if your doing a background scan of lots of files, it tends to eat alot of memory.

    restarting vs. shutdown.

    Only difference is if your done using the system, you have the option to restart. Actually now do i think about it there was a weird bug a couple years ago when win 7 came out when applying updates. If you chose shutdown they wouldn't get applied properly, i believe Microsoft has fixed it since...
