    Razer Deathadder -- Disabling frwrd and bckwrd in browser?

    So I recently bought a Razer Deathadder mouse and I'm loving it, however I use the back button on the side of the mouse as my PTT on ventrilo. As you can imagine this gets a little annoying when browsing webpages because every time I want to talk it sends me back a page in firefox. I didn't see...

As I'm typing it usage is hovering between 3-5%. whenever I click a link to load a new page it will jump to 35-40%. is this normal? RAM usage is stable...

    Running 64 bit Windows Vista ultimate but cant install 64 bit Apps

    The CD said 64 bit.....Is there any way I can confirm this within the OS? Just checked system info. Windows is recognizing it as a 32bit install....However It is showing all 4GB of my RAM. Wouldnt this not be possible with 32bit Vista?

    Running 64 bit Windows Vista ultimate but cant install 64 bit Apps

    ahah. I may just have to do that.... couple questions though..... What am I missing out on by using 32 bit apps instead of 64 bit ones? The main reason I chose 64 bit vista was so that i could use 4 gigs of RAM, however im totally clueless when it comes to 64 bit apps. what do they do better...

    Running 64 bit Windows Vista ultimate but cant install 64 bit Apps

    Running a C2D E7300 on a Gigabyte EP43-DS3L board. Vista runs fine (had some BSOD issues earlier which were solved by clocking back RAM from 1066 to 800mhz) but now whenever I try to install a 64 bit app it tells me my processor is incompatible. I've tried Ventrilo 64 bit edition, IE7 64 bit...

    new build BSOD's during Vista installation

    Memtest passed on the 1 stick I did test it on. Before I was about to test the other stick I thought I'd give it a shot installing with 1 stick, and it completed. Now it's sending me in a loop 2GB are in the machine right now. I have another 2 GB stick but I removed it.

    new build BSOD's during Vista installation

    Removed one stick of RAM and it cleared the Expanding files stage, Installing Features, Installing Updates and Completing Installation phases. It then asks me to restart and it puts me right back into the same exact screen as if it didnt save any of the data it installed. Right now im sitting...

    new build BSOD's during Vista installation

    Ok, so I booted it up and checked the BIOS. turns out that RAM voltage was set to 1.8v and the RAM is specced at 2.0.I changed it to 2.0. Could this have been the problem? Windows is installing right now (expanding files ~25%, further than it's ever gotten before) Hope this works...

    new build BSOD's during Vista installation

    the board? the comp is totally stable when booting and sitting in the BIOS. how could the board be an issue? Would downloading a Linux distro and trying to install that be a good idea? if it installs clean that would mean my hardware is ok, right?

    Tried 3 times to install new copy of Vista on my new build. but it BSOD's each time during the Expanding files portion of the install (at different times too 1st attempt - 13%, 2nd 9%, 3rd 6%). Is this a problem with my copy of windows or could this be a hardware issue?

    Rate my budget build

    OK im getting ready to order the parts. One thing I'm kinda worried about is the size of the case and videocard. Will it fit in that Antec Sonata III? I know videocards are getting very very large these days.

    Thank you! A couple comments. I am by no means set on that Centurion case. I used to have one and it was pretty good but im willing to change. The antec looks good and it comes with a nice PSU which is an enormous plus. as for the RAM. In the specs of my Mobo it says it requires 1066...

    How much better is this PC than my current iMac?

    I would think the Graphics card would be a step up, considering that the ATI is a 2 or 3 year old series. Anyway, I could always upgrade the videocard later.
