I paid matinee price ($7.50) to go see Django Unchained in theater, after I walked into Hobbit in 3D (had glasses ready) and walked out to go watch it in 2D across the hall. All in all I enjoyed around 6-7 hours of good movies for minimum price. I dont think I will try 3D movies again until...

You gotta remember, many people who read [H] will be saying: "We are the 2%..." Personally I have not been over clocking since processors hit 2Ghz. No real need IMHO. (puts on flame retardant suit)

I have lived in Richmond VA for the past 22 years... there is NO tech sector here that can support this claim. I cant even buy a SSD here locally, I have to use Newegg or Amazon. There is no Fry's. The Best Buys here aren't. I would say that list is severely flawed.

Another reason that I might want to get the 2 drives is that later, if I need more HD space for the "GAMES" drive, I can get a nice newer drive for the SYSTEM drive and raid up the 2 64gb drives for even better performance. Just a thought.

I have always kept my System (windows/programs) separate from my Games disk. If I need to re-install my system (for whatever reason) my games are in-tact and easy to just go with (thanx to steam and most games today, they rarely need registry hooks anymore). The great thing about it is, I can...

I am gonna (finally) make the switch to Win7 and when I do, I plan to upgrade my system (see sig) to SSDs. In the past I have my drive partitioned to C:(System and programs), D:(games), E:(data). I want to change the C & D drives to SSDs and use the whole current HD as data. Would I get...

I want a new videocard to play Star Wars ToR, that I have been waiting for about 3 years for.

Sure I need one! Patrick

If entire 2ghz+ boxes dedicated to folding wont do, then neither will my main rig, which, someone will probably say is also not good enough and should be shut down. I was glad to help, but, I guess I just dont have the dedication to put my main rig into this environment. Of course it is an AMD...

I have already taken down 2 machines and uninstalled the software, deleted everything. Still have my torrent box folding, because, I really wasn't in a rush. I dont really feel like it is worth my time, money, and effort at this point. There is nothing worse than feeling like you are a drop in...

It seems like I am a waste of space then. Machines being shut down. Long live [H]orde. Sorry I could not help more.

I mean really, I have 3 boxes running 24/7, and while I never really compared what I am doing vs what others were before, I see some people putting up like 1m ppd, and I am putting up 177? This seems unacceptable. The boxes are a AMD 939 2.4ghz, AMD socket 7 2.0ghz, and a Pentium 4 2.0ghz...

I'm in with 3 boxes now...

I am an acting folding member but all this posting badges and runaround I dont want to do. I once was a major contributor, but now just have one box folding for the [H]. [edit] added 2 more boxes for the [H].

Love the look of the Sharkoon Fireglider but I am a lefty.

Ya I had done the newegg search... figured someone might have some idea from actual purchase. I may go with the Sanyo Xacti CG10 Dual Camera HD Flash Memory Camcorder with 5x Optical Zoom (Black). It is a little more than $100 but still within a decent range for it's abilities. Guess there is...

+1 for the Saitek Eclipse. Good keyboards.

I happen to love ASRock. The rig in my sig is my 2nd one, the first one is my old 939 Dual Sata that is still working as my DVD Rip & Burn machine. Go with ASRock. You cant go wrong.

I am looking to get a camera that can be used to take still shots for things like e-bay items and general pics... no need for anything fancy... ... and I would like it to be able to attach via USB to the PC and do web videos for things like YouTube and whatnot. Anyone have any suggestions...

I have been looking for a retailer who sells the Roccat Kova, have not had any luck.

Hey now, I may be slow to adopt new stuff these days, but with the way new products are pumped out, it is a good idea, and with the economy the way it is, it may be a good thing. Actually, I am thinking about getting Corsair Nova CSSD-V32GB2-BRKT 2.5" 32GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive...

Just to update what happened (I forgot about this thread). I was able to image the old PATA drive partition with True Image and move it to a partition on the new SATA drive partition without any issues. I removed all 3 of my PATA drives and now only have the SATA HD & DVD±R in the system. I...

I think the parts I linked to have both immediate performance value AND upgrade potential. They do cost slightly more than a used board, but there is no sacrifice. ASRock may be a "budget minded" company, but they are managed by Asus, and maybe it does not have all the bells and whistles of a...

It would totally be worth it for an new AM3 system with DDR3 memory and a future. Again, used systems are just that, USED, and usually ABUSED. DDR2 is already dead. 775 system... DEAD. Why spend money on a dead end system when you can have something that can be upgraded in the future that is...

You might (or might not) be able to find a used one for a cheap price, but TBH, would you waste the time trying to find one that may have been OC'd the hell out of, and possibly damaged? I have had bad experiences buying used procs and videocards in the past, getting them only to have them be...

As much as I like this 939 rig, and I wish it was easy to upgrade it, trying to find a dual core 939 is not worth it, IMHO. The best price I found was like $250 and for that you are more than half way to a new AM3 rig.

Here is the thing, I dont think your rig is 100% worthless, but it is aging. It is nearly identical to my current rig (see sig), but I am about to upgrade. This old 939 has been real good to me, and I will be turning it into my dvd dupe/burn box when it is done playing games. Good luck...

You should not ride the metro, not because of stormtroopers... but because you might need...

Yep, 1990 was a good year... I was in tech back then too. Oh and in 1980 as well. Of course back then all I had to play with was a HP-85 w/16K of ram and a 5 inch screen, and of course that was the year DOS came out, boy those were the years. Like I said, I also use chrome, and it takes more...

What is wrong with my FF interface? It is small and compact... nothing is in the way. Stumble button - Nav buttons - New-tab button - Temp-allow-all-scripts button - Compact Menu - Favorites - Uppity button - [Address Bar] - Mail-to button - Show-me-more button - [Search Bar] - Multi-panel...

If you dont care, dont go into a thread that is talking about tabs. I think they call that trolling, usually with excessive cursing for no real reason.

Huh?

Ya I could "clean slate" it, but I just did that less than 6 months ago... I dont really feel like setting it all up AGAIN... I will try to image it to the new drive, if it does not work, well, we will see...

Ya I guess that was what I was leaning towards anyway. I can use the old PATA drives in an old machine that has 40GB drives in it anyway. 1TB=970GB... so I guess I will partition them C:System (70GB) / D:Games (450GB) / E:Data (450GB). I already installed the new Optical Drive and SATA...

Yesterday I purchased a SATA DVD Burner and a 1 TB SATA Hard Drive to replace the PATA DVD Burner and 3 120 GB PATA Hard Drives in this system. Would it be better to keep the first 120 GB PATA Hard Drive in the system (it has my OS and Program Files... but not my game files) and move all the...

Anyone have any positive or negative views on the ASRock M3A770DE AM3 AMD 770 MB? ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157176 ) ?? I am thinking on pairing it with either a AMD Athlon II X4 630 Propus 2.8GHz or a AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz. Thanx

I am so looking forward to this game I have started saving money towards system upgrade and first year's subscription costs. For me this will be my 2011 entertainment package. -=R=-

Buddy of mine has a LCD computer monitor that when he turns on, for a split second, the image of the desktop can be seen, but then immediately turns off. The monitor is still getting the signal, and it does this on both his and my computer, as well as both of our laptops. This monitor worked...
