    Garbage Seagate RMA

    You're complaining about extensions on warranty? Corsair gave me 30 days on a recertified $200 SSD. Not even my original warranty which had another year on it, just 30 days.

    How do I lap a cpu with out bending the pins?

    I used the little foam packing from the case the CPU came in. Push it into the pins and it'll stay there.

    Two computers One monitor, mouse and keyoard

    Has OP actually tried Synergy? You don't need to spend $89 bloody dollars when there is free software. Firstly you don't need a KVM you need a KM, this is what Synergy is. If the laptop and computer are hooked up to the monitor then you don't need any middleman hardware. I can understand...

    Two computers One monitor, mouse and keyoard

    Err no. OP stated they would be switching inputs on the monitor. Which means you can use it as two monitors. Synergy can do this, as I done it for a gaming computer (which was hidden away due to noise) that used my atom desktop PC as input on one monitor. What I personally done was setup a...

    Synergy is what you're looking for. Or Input Director. I do the exact same thing :)

    Using 5670 with 5870 Possible?

    I think maybe you should actually look at the idle usage of the 5870. From memory it is only 20w in 2D mode. And Crossfire switches off the second card in 2D mode.

    FreeBSD ZFS NAS Web-GUI

    Awesome, entering "ufs:/dev/label/MESA-SYSTEM" worked and I'm up and running. I'll set up a RAIDZ and have a play around tonight with it. edit; Going good so far! I actually prefer it over Freenas already :D Got a pool up with 2x250GB drives in RAID0 as I can't find a third drive to test...

    FreeBSD ZFS NAS Web-GUI

    I used the same method as I normally use for Freenas, using the same usb drive as well. But anything more than that is out of my league. I'm guessing my error is a formatting issue of some sort.

    FreeBSD ZFS NAS Web-GUI

    Oh well that was short lived as I get errors while trying to boot. mountroot> GEOM: da0: partition 1 does not start on a track boundary. GEOM: da0: partition 1 does not end on a track boundary. GEOM: da0s1: geometry does not match label (16h, 63s != 64h,32s). Any ideas?

    FreeBSD ZFS NAS Web-GUI

    @sub.mesa: what about using Physdiskwrite instead of Winimage. You just use the command: physdiskwrite filename.img Use the -u tag if the disk it's writing to is over 2GB. There is a GUI version as well but I've never used it. edit; the GUI's in German so rather useless. edit2; Using a 1GB...

    Formatting and selling hard drives. Help?

    As above use DBAN. But do it as soon as possible if you plan to get rid of them by noon tomorrow. Depending on how big the hard drives are it could take a while. I just recently done some 250GB HDD's which took around 3 hours for all of them. Also make sure only HDD's you're selling are plugged...

    How is your 5870 performing ?

    Sapphire Vapor-X 5870 GSOD's in all games when settings are turned up so I've been waiting for the newer supposed drivers that fix it. Not really gaming much at the moment so no reason to return it.

    Mount & Blade. Get this game now

    I keep coming back to it. Its a great game and has a good modding scene as well (graphics enhancement, battle extender etc). Also very soon it'll be rocking multiplayer. For $5 its well worth it.

You should get three options, change "mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines" to false by double clicking the...

    3870 x2 release today

    They are driver issues. A single HD 3870 was getting higher scores then two in CrossFire in certain games. Like the post before me you can't compare a card that has been out for a year with many driver dates against a graphics card that is not out and has no official drivers.

    My first set of "REAL" cans!! (56k beware!)

    I got my AD700's a few weeks back and they are better then my old A700's and A900's. Most probably because they are open cans. Money well spent. Different preferences though I guess. The closed cans sell more.

    If I order a GA-P35-DS3R, will it be bios ready for 45nm?

    BIOS F7 onwards has support for 45nm CPU's. My DS3R came with F4 two months ago. I'm pretty sure they still boot regardless, the BIOS asks you to update the BIOS because of an unsupported CPU.

    3870 + 3850 in crossfire?

    You could get a HD 3850 512MB. Then you could use the full 512MB. Also the cards run at their own clock speeds so it should be fine. Dunno how much you would save though.

    Tabula Rasa - Request Free Trial

    The game sort of died down a bit after a while of being released. I would probably wait after bug fixes and people come back etc. Also the monthly fee is optional (includes updates and more areas).
