the asrock z97 extreme6 now has a bios 2.80, which looks like it is spectre microcode. its slow, but it does appear to be happening... havent installed it yet but i have it ready to go...

my asus board was one that a compulsive upgrader let go all the way back in october 2009; i only let it go at the end of last year and handed it off to my brother to use. the aforementioned compulsive upgrader was an overclocker as well; hed taken the trouble to crossflash the P5E deluxe to the...

okay so Posners' credit card numbers and social security numbers have no expectation of privacy under that reading - if he wishes to hide them then hes obviously neither the person who he claims to be or is undertaking 'bad activities' with his lines of credit? and this guy is a judge? can he...

it could be worse. you could be here in Australia where the current govt is saying they dont see a widespread need for more than 15mbps ... in 2023. http://theconversation.com/broadband-projections-fail-reality-test-31341

no they arent on something. this isnt exactly a new concept - the idea that position of information (matter) in 3d space can be represented in a 2d flat plane (hologram). it helps to think that when you have a hologram card of a persons face, say, you can turn the card edge on and you can see...

which slot is that between the last two physical x16 slots on the 7 and 9 boards?

if they let the source free and go back up the tree a bit they better not break the visualisations. i kept using winamp for that reason, and some of the Milkdrop settings available now really do leave the original visualisation abilities in the dust. i suspect if id would up into maths instead...

No. but if they can do it as a stick on tatt im all for it!

Here in Queensland we have no DST. And I'd have it back because sunup at 4am is a constant annoyance vs the two occasions you adjust the bodyclock at fall and spring. Its also annoying because we are an hour out of kilter with other states on our longitude that DO use DST - for banks...

here in Australia, the Land they're all Complaining about - you can indeed get GOT legally. but we dont have cable blanketing our cities like you guys , we mostly get our telly via terrestrial broadcast. so while you can get it on foxtel, not that many could access it- until recently, they...

good price, ridiculously good voltage regulation, good to excellent efficiency, great warranty - only had the one Seasonic so far personally; but ive never had to put in for customer service on it. If i did id fully expect top notch service to match the quality of the hardware in the first...

bloody idiots. i have to agree im of the school of thought that says "if they dont treat packages with respect they damn well should be at risk of explosions, they might take a little more care in future". if they DID treat the packages right they wouldnt have any NEED for the policy in the...

what are you whingeing about? thats the way its been here in oz for donkeys. the scary thing is the TB and half TB plans now available here (things have improved) are well and truly in front of the new UBB plans that seem to have cropped up over there. it feels weird having that be the case -...

you shouldnt ride the metro cos ...well.... have you SEEN what passes for a toilet down there? errrgh... if you really *must*... /passes gasmask would love a copy, wanted it when the Steam summer sales came up but wasnt able to take advantage of it.... :(

any porn site not behind a verification wall=blocked anything that winds up as refused classification=blocked. which is quite odd as some content is perfectly fine when its in films and on newstands but as soon as it hits the net its ALL ABOUT SAVING TEH KIDZ! unfortunately in this...

oh man this is so thread necro. Brother did this with his 'rolla a decade ago - worked in a PC store, always spare bits about yada yada yada and of course a drive wound its way into his centre console. its beige because these days most drives skip the 'play' button functionality - you have...

wow. well i cant say im prepared to knock this one back :D /drools @ pretty case

id argue theres ONE other situation where you would consider the Xfire over the single 4890 - when faced with a system that just cant squeeze in that extra inch or so of the 4890 PCB. granted that isnt a common scenario but in that case being able to get at or near 4890 level performance within...

someone at AT&T must read BOFH. it sounds distinctly like a prank th PFY would pull....

colinstu when looking at a raw function of benchmark results, sure. when talking about gfx performance as a ratio of the watts driving it for example you should get near the most performance per watt using a 4770 - thats important to some people. benchmark scores are not always the be all and...

there is only one etailer ive found with it here so far (auspcmarket) at 194 bucks odd, shipped to the door. :( 99 bucks sounds a lot nicer :D that said it sounds like a bloody good card. and its short too. and im curious if it will tolerate being run sans pcie power cable (another...

any of those cards would be perfectly fine for me :D

my first thought was for a shorter card as well. that would be my wish, hehe

it might surprise you that there are points where you can definitely find tangible limits on bandwidth. its the old cable - shared neighbourhod thing, though DSL suffers from the same thing, just one step removed up the chain. if your local exchange has a 10 MB(80Mb) link and serves 10 people...

with the way i mouse atm i only have to shift it 1 inch in the Y and 2 inch in the x axis to move my cursor edge to edge of a 16x10 desktop. sure you will need a bit more space on the end for when it gets frantic in a FPS but as noted its not really the target market for these. if you swing that...

cant find the edit button - been a loing time since i had a H forum login LOL - had one about 3-4 years ago but its lapsed it seems .. :P forgot to mention those counting uploads are also satans spawn. there has been a resurgence in the technique here but most ISPs do not count uploads...

lets rephrase that: "I have no idea why internet users think bandwidth is an unlimited resource". there, that makes much more sense. as mackintire pointed out even 'unlimited' services do have limits - if you have a 1.5 mbit pipe, there really IS only so many seconds worth of data you can...

wow nice swag - im in :D
