This is more of a rant than anything... The Windows 10 installer used to let you "only save files locally" (which was a tiny button compared to the giant "NEXT" button which enabled OneDrive) You do not even have that option anymore. It uses OneDrive immediately and you have no say now Your...

Suppose my Haswell is stable at 1.26v, but not 1.25v (prime95 crash after 9 hours at 1.25v). So 1.26v appears to be the minimum stable voltage. But it is still really close to 1.25v, and might not actually be stable. To ensure stability, how many volts should one add to the minimum stable...

I put my comp together about a week ago. It installed Windows 7 just fine. However, it started to freeze periodically and the freezing got more frequent. This was happening with everything at stock settings. After trial and error I figured out the problem was the CPU NB VID needed more...

Here is a little C program that I am compiling with Visual Studio 2005: This program just tells you how long it takes to run some random code. Notice that there are two things commented out (the green text). One would expect that uncommenting these things would slow the program down...

Hi. I have a problem. I am writing a C program in Visual Studio 2005 Pro and when I comment out a printf() statement, the whole program crashes. It doesn't make any sense to me, but hopefully some one here knows what the problem is. Here is a simple program with some SSE instructions...

Hi. There is a little ray traced game called Let There Be Light at http://igad.nhtv.nl/~bikker/ I was wondering what FPS for various game settings those of you with i7's get? I have a stock speed Q6600 (2.4 GHz) and I get about 30 fps with lowest game settings. I would think an...

Hi, I have a question about cache. First, consider a process running in a single thread. OS's will sometimes change whatever core is running the process. Suppose core 0 on a Q6600 is running the process, then the OS decides to have core 3 on a Q6600 run the process. What happens if...

OCZ has two 16 GB DDR2 800 kits on the market. However, one set has timings of 5-6-6-18 (the black set) and the other has timings of 5-5-5-18 (the white set). Would it be worth paying $380 over $355 for the slightly faster timings? I will be running some very memory-bandwidth hungry...

Spore gives you 3. The upcoming Command and Conquer will give you 5. Anyone know how many with Crysis Warhead? My guess is 5, but it may very well be 3. I wish I could say EA has now lost my business, but that happened a long time ago.

Does that mean it will still come out on Steam tomorrow? Steam still says it will be availible tomorrow, but Valve might just have forgot to fix that.

Will the Steam version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. be SecuROM free or are they going to gay it up like the Steam version of BioShock?
